XX My POV XX

The next morning Dougie and I were sitting in the kitchen eating our breakfast. We were having a nice conversation about whether we should get another lizard or not, when we were interrupted by my phone ringing. I grabbed it and looked at the caller ID.

"Oh here we go…" I said.

"Is it him?" Dougie asked.

"Yeah, it is."

"Well just do as we planned."

I took a breath and answered it. "Hello?"

"Good morning gorgeous!" he said very cheerily and I cringed.

"Hi Ryan."

"What are you up to today?"

"Nothing really, I was planning on staying home with Dougie today. Why?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out for coffee this afternoon. I'm sure it would be much more fun than staying at home."

"Oh yeah sure. What time?"

"How about 12:30? I'll pick you up."

"Oh you don't have to do that. I'm just a few minutes from town."

"I insist!"

"No, it's fine, really."

"Okay, whatever you say…see you then!"

"Okay bye," and I hung up immediately after. Dougie was watching intently.

"Well?" he asked.

"We're going out for coffee at 12:30. He tried to suggest picking me up."

"Okay, well I'll drop you off then. I'll stay somewhere close by."

"Sounds like a plan. I'm going to go get showered and ready." I headed up the stairs, not knowing what the day would be like.

Dougie dropped me off even though I really didn't want to be there. Doug didn't really want me there either. "If you need anything just call me, okay?"

"Will do," I said, gave him a kiss, and made my way into the shop. I found Ryan right away; he tends to stick out in a crowd. I greeted him, but didn't let him hug me this time. He ordered his coffee and I ordered my tea and we found a table.

We were just chatting for a little while, and the next thing he said surprised me. Just when I thought he couldn't surprise me anymore. I think I made a joke, I don't really remember.

He was laughing, "Oh that's one thing I've always loved about you. No, I take that back. I love everything about you."

I've had enough of this. "Ryan, I'd just like to make this clear. I'm getting married in six days and I don't know if you think you're going to change my mind or something, but you're not." I got up and immediately left the shop. However, Ryan was right behind me. He ran in front of me and pulled me around the corner of the building into the alleyway.

"You know, I think I can change your mind. When will you ever get to see this guy? He's always going to be on tour and god only knows what he's doing on that tour. What do you say we call this little wedding off and have one of our own?" He now had me backed against the wall with his hands just around the outsides of my shoulders, blocking me in. "I've always loved you, and you know it. I'll give you a choice. You call of this thing with Mr. Boy Band and come with me then no one gets hurt, or if you don't, I'll call it off myself. If anyone hears about this, both you and they will pay for it." His eyes looked so dark and menacing. I could feel tears escaping my eyes, I just couldn't stop them. "You got that, princess?" he asked and I just nodded. My mind was telling me to fight back, to say something but I couldn't. "Good," he said and he placed his lips on my cheek. It felt so awful and dirty.

Once he pulled away he just left. Where he went I have no idea. I just slid down the wall and sat on the ground. All I did was cry. I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't call off the wedding; I wasn't going to do that. I couldn't tell Dougie either, I didn't want him to get hurt. Maybe I just wouldn't say anything, just let him do his worst to me. With all these thoughts going through my head I tried to collect myself. I wiped my eyes and took a few breaths to make it seem like I wasn't crying. Then I pulled out my phone and told Dougie to come pick me up. I took out my mirror to make sure there were no more traces of tears. I got up and headed back to the front of the shop to wait for Dougie. My hands were still trembling and my heart was still beating uncontrollably.

As I saw Dougie pull up, I took another deep breath and collected my thoughts. I got into the car and we were on our way home.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"Well, let's just say he didn't take the news very well…"
