She nodded, leaning against the bathroom wall. "Oh my god that just happened." She tried to calm her fluttering heart. Something's not right. He's going to say something I know it. He's just not sure if he can. "Okay, do you ever shut up? I'm busy over here!" She clutched the necklace. He had made this for her? She could barely believe it. She walked out of the bathroom, intending to leave to get some fresh air, but didn't feel like.
"You wanna go home?" He looked at Belle with convincing eyes.
"Please. I can't stand this place anymore."
He laughed and walked her out to his motorcycle, handing her his helmet. He didn't just carry one with him.
She pulled out her braid and put the helmet on. "And my hair is already in my eyes. Great." She giggled.
He chuckled and got on the bike, "Homeward! Hold on,"
She did as told, trying to avoid touching him with the locket.
(It has a rose because… Beauty and the Beast….)
(Oh my god yes. You planned this.)
(Yes I did!)
He drove home quickly and when he got there he practically ran into the house.
She placed the helmet back and followed him inside, something not sitting right with her. "Are you okay? You're acting a bit strange."
He turned around to look at her, eyebrows raised and his voice came out slightly high pitched, "Me? No, I'm fine! Why wouldn't' I be fine?" the words spewed out fast.
She frowned and crossed her arms across her chest. "Something is definitely not fine with you. What's going on? You can tell me."
"Belle," His voice went back to normal but it was shaky. Nervous. "I have to go,"
"Oh no you don't." She grabbed his arm. "What the hell is happening? You're not leaving until you tell me. You're starting to worry me." She looked nervous, worried, scared for him. What was going on? She just wanted to see him smile again. A real smile.
"They know about me, they know who I am, I can't stay here," He looked just as scared.
Her eyes flew open. "So you were just going to leave me with no warning? Let me wake up in the morning alone and heartbroken?" She looked hurt, no, betrayed. She had trusted him with her most prized possession. Her heart. And he was just going to throw it away like it was nothing.
"Belle, no, I wouldn't–" He paused to rethink, "I wasn't going to leave you darling, I said I never would and I meant that,"
"Then what were you going to do? Just leave me in the dark about the whole thing?"
Ryan closed his eyes and shook his head, "No nonono," He opened them up and walked towards her, "You can come with me,"
She looked surprised. She stood in shock for a few seconds before blinking out of her daze. "If you really want me to, I'll go with you." She cracked a small smile.
She looked surprised. She stood in shock for a few seconds before blinking out of her daze. "If you really want me to, I'll go with you." She cracked a small smile.
He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in, "Really?" He didn't expect her to actually go so easily.
She nodded. "Really. I used to not having a lot of stuff to be able to move quickly. One of the many perks of being a detective's daughter. You learn to not have a lot cause you move too often."
"We'll come back, I promise we will. I just can't stay," He paused like he had a thought. "Unless we stay,"
She tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
(Penn?)
Darren smiled, “I’m the quarterback… or at least I was before I got cancer,”
"Oh," Talia bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
(The title of my autobiography right there.)
