"Hey Reed, great game!" Meredith exclaimed as he exited the locker room.
"Really? I'm surprised you were even paying attention, being that you were on a big date and all." Fulton juggled his gear bag and jacket.
Merry frowned and pouted slightly, she'd never been in such a good mood. Why did Fulton have to ruin it for her? "Come on, don't be a jerk about it, Fulton. I like Bryon, and I want to get to know him. You're suppose to be my best friend, why can't you be happy for me?"
The boy just shook his head as the rest of the team started to push past him into the hall. "If I'm your best friend, why don't you trust me when I tell you he's bad news? I'm telling you Meredith, there has to be a reason Riley Jr. is so into you and it's not a pure one. Guys like that don't go out with girls like you."
"That was rather rude." Bryon broke in walking up behind Meredith and slipping his arms around her waist. "Sounds to me like you were telling someone that you say is a good friend of yours, that they're not good enough for me. Now, I could be wrong, but at the pal shouldn't you be saying that she's too good for me?"
"Oh kiss off Riley, you scuzball."
"That's enough Fulton, I'm not letting you ruin my night." Merry snarled then turned to Bryon. "Come on Hun, let's get out of here."
Fulton stood by the door and watched as Meredith stormed off and sighed. All he wanted to do was protect her from the evil that was the Riley family-tree. She was a bright girl, why couldn't she understand what he was trying to tell her? He loved her and he wanted her to be happy, but he knew deep inside that Bryon wasn't going to make her happy. Yes, that's right, he loved her. A long night of thinking had helped him to realize that he loved her, he wasn't in love with her but she was more important to him then any other girl he knew, even his sisters or Connie and Julie.
He made a silent vow right then and there, if Bryon Riley broke Meredith's heart, he would break everyone bone in Bryon's body. With a scowl Fulton adjusted his bag on his shoulder and went off in the direction of the team. He'd been neglecting them quite a bit lately and promised to go with them for pizza that night. Even if he'd be spending the time worrying about Merry.
Meredith had a great time that night with Bryon. By the time she got home she'd been practically walking on air. With a breezy sigh and a brilliant smile she lowered herself into the chair at the desk in the living room. Signing into her email account she opened her compose function and began to write Fulton a message to the address he got at the computer lad at school.
'Reed,
I'm writing you this letter to tell you some things that I can't say when we're together, because they only make you angry. I like Bryon, I like him allot and he likes me. We're a couple now and yes before you ask, he has kissed me. I've never felt this way before, I love this feeling, I hope to feel this way forever. Honestly if he ever calls things off it would kill me. I think I'd literally end it all. If you keep pushing this and he leaves me, my blood will be on your hands Fulton. If you care about me as much as you say you do, you won't want that, so please don't cause trouble for us.
Merry'
