Saying Yes Could Make Things Harder!

Disclaimer: in the first chapter.

Randy and Riley have been going strong. Things that would have driven a wedge in between them really hadn't. Randy had been getting better in all of his classes since Riley was helping him the best way she knew how. He had a lot of decisions to make dealing with his life, but the one that he was sure about was Riley. She made him better than he ever was and now that she was back he wasn't going to let anyone take her from him or so he thought. He didn't know that Sam was making a plan with another guy to try and break them up. Riley wasn't too sure about what she wanted to do with her life she knew that she wanted to have a family and have a great career. She knew that Randy was the one for her she could picture everything about their life. She could see what their children look like, but she never thought that she would have to fight for him as hard as she was about to.

Sam had her plan worked down to the very core. She had Riley's stalker Brandon on her side since he did want her. Sam had the perfect plan which was that she was going to get Randy and Riley to sign papers that was going to marry them all together. Sam smiled as she acted like Brandon and her were together just to try and get closer to Randy and Riley. She smiled as they walked into school looking around. They were trying to find Randy and Riley, but they couldn't find them that, was because Randy and Riley hadn't shown up for school that day since they skipped school. Sam sighed not seeing him. Seeing Randy made her day even more worth it, but since he wasn't there she would have to convince his friends that she was with Brandon so they would suspect anything.

Ted and Cody looked over and saw that Sam and Brandon have been hanging around together which they never would have thought that in a million years, but for some reason Ted was having a hard time believing that Sam and Brandon were together. Cody on the other hand was kind of glad to see that Sam had finally moved on and forgotten all about her relationship with Randy. It was kind of refreshing to know that she can let go or so he thought she could. Sam smiled walking over to Ted and Cody with Brandon at her side.

"Hey guys." She said ever so sweetly

"Sam." Ted said

"What are you doing here?" Cody asked

"What? I cant be nice to some of my old friends?" she asked holding onto Brandon

"That's not what we are saying. Its just weird to see you here without trying to get find out things about Randy and Riley. That's all." Ted said

"Well you boys should give me credit. I have moved on from Randy and I have found someone way better and he treats me just so special. I believe you guys know Brandon Chase." She said

"I do." Ted said

"I have heard of him, but I don't know anything about him." Cody replied

"Well this is Brandon."

"Hey guys."

They nodded at him

"So where is Randy at?" she asked

"Well Randy hasn't been feeling all that great as of late. So he has been missing school." Cody lied

"What about his girlfriend." She asked

"Death in her family so she had to fly out of state to deal with that." Ted said

"You know a lot about her don't you Ted." Sam said

"Sam Riley and I have been close friends since we were in diapers, so what I know about her is between me and her, but if you must have to opinion about everything Riley has a life outside of being up Randy's butt unlike you did. So if you don't mind Cody and I have a class to get to." He snapped before walking off.

Cody shrugged following behind Ted. Sam stood there in shock that Ted said those things about her. Brandon on the other hand was more worried about when Riley was going to be back in school. Sam stormed off to her class without and second glance at Brandon with her mind on one thing and one thing only showing Ted that she was going to get Randy back without hesitation.

At the Orton house

Randy was on the couch waiting for his girlfriend to call and check on him. He hadn't been able to see her. He knew that with there being a death in her family that she would have to go with her parents, but he also knew that she didn't get along with either of her parents side of the family because they would always put her down. He just wish that she could have stayed home or stayed at his house with him. He knew that his parents would have let her stay with them since they did like her better than they did Sam. Randy sighed as he waited. This was something that he was never good at waiting. He always had to know what was going on with his girl when it came to things that had to do with her. Just as he was about to pick up the phone to call her, but he heard a knock at the door.

He groaned getting up and going to the door and opening it just to Riley standing there. His eyes lit up when he saw her pulling her into the house. Riley held onto him trying to keep herself from crying. She was upset about the death in her family it was more that her mother and father kept putting her down in front of everyone else. He held her close rubbing her back knowing that someone had done something to hurt her which drove him crazy. He never liked seeing her sad or anything, but what really drove him over the wall was the fact that they always seemed to hurt her when the entire family was around them and that was wrong. He never liked her parents and he knew that they sure as hell didn't approve of him being with their daughter. He walked over to the couch and sat down with her in his lap holding her close. He rubbed her back "What's wrong?" he asked

"Everything! They just don't see how much they are hurting me when they do nothing, but put me down and make my siblings look like they can do nothing wrong."

"Riley they are never going to understand sweetheart."

"Yeah. Well they are going to have to start because I am not sure how much more I can take living with them."

"Baby just relax. Where are they now?" he asked

"They are still out of state. I just couldn't be there anymore because they are driving me crazy."

"Well I'm pretty sure that my parents will let you stay here until they get back." He said

"Randy my parents have already thought ahead. They asked Kristen's parents if they wouldn't mind me staying with them. They said that I could." She said

He nodded "Well I'll come over there and sneak in if I have to just to be with you." He said

She nodded holding onto him tightly. He rubbed her back kissing her forehead every chance that he got. This was the way he wanted to be everyday with her and knew that it would actually take a miracle for that to happen. As the rest of the day went on Randy and Riley stayed on the couch of his parents house watching old movies and everything. It was about 7:30 pm when they heard a knock at the door. Little did they know it was Sam with Brandon standing out there. Randy got up and went to get the door and groaned when he saw Sam.

"What do you want Samantha?" he asked as Riley walked over

"Well I just wanted to see how you were doing?" she said

"I'm fine." He said

"Well I heard from Cody and Ted that you weren't feeling so good at school today so I came to check up on you." She said

"Well he is fine. I am here to take care of him." Riley snapped.

"Well Riley I heard about you're the death in your family and I didn't think that you would be here that is why I came over here. I'm sure that you wouldn't want him alone."

"He's not alone."

"Sam as you can see I have my girlfriend here with me and I see you have a new boy toy." He said before he got cut off by Sam

"This isn't my boy toy Randal. This is my boyfriend Brandon."

"Excuse me then. Your boyfriend here doesn't want to be around your ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend so if you don't mind I have to take my girlfriend back to her friends house since her parents are out of town."

"But we were hoping that we could talk to you guys about going out on a double date with us."

"What?" they both questioned

"Yeah. Sam and I were thinking that this was a good idea if you guys went out on a double date with us." Brandon said

"I don't know if that is such a good idea." Randy said

"Why not?"

"Given the fact that you and Riley don't get along and another thing is I know who Brandon is since he is trying to stalk my girlfriend before he actually found you." He said

"Randy we have changed so nothing is going to happen. I love Brandon and he loves me so you have nothing to worry about." She said

"I still don't." he started

"We will do it." Riley said

"Great. Now you guys can meet us at this place tomorrow night a 8." She said handing the paper before walking away.

Randy shut the door and looked at Riley. He couldn't believe what she had done or just said. Riley went back into the living room and grabbed her jacket putting it on before walking back over to Randy and looked at him. "What?" she asked

"Why in the world would you say yes to her?" he asked

"Maybe this way she can understand that you don't want her anymore and that your happy with me." She said

"Riley I don't want you to get into another fight with her because of the way she acts." he said

"Randy I think this might do some good, plus maybe I can make it up to your afterwards." She said

"Really? How could you do that?" he asked

"You how I can do that, but if you want me to show you I can." She said

"Baby if only we had the time. I have to get you back to Kristen's house before your parents actually flip out over something that isn't called for." He said

She sighed "Fine."

He laughed walking her out to his car. He opened the door for her and helped her into the car before he got into the car himself. He started the car and backed out driving down the road and heading towards Kristen's house. Riley looked out the window as she grabbed his hand and looked out the window. Randy smiled holding her hand as he took her back to the house. He pulled up to the house and parked. He got out of the car and walked her up to the front door. Riley smiled looking up to him and smiled

"I love you Randy. You know that right?"

"Yep. And you know that I love you too." He said

She nodded "I better be getting inside now."

"Yeah, but your forgetting something." He said

"What is that?" she asked

"this." He said as he leaned down and kissed her.

She smiled as he kissed him back before pulling back and walking into the house. She smiled at him before shutting the door and locking it. He walked back to his car and drove back to his house. Riley smiled as she went upstairs and got ready for bed. Things have been going great for them and now they are making things better for them. They both only hoped that it stays the same.
