Previously On Why Cant I Stay
He made sure to take extra short slow steps and pretend to get distracted by the smallest of things. He really wasn't looking forward to arriving at his destination, if anything he dreaded the feeling. This was probably the hardest thing he would have to do in his lifetime.
Unfortunately no matter how slow he moved he was still moving and eventually he would get there and eventually was now.
"Well it's now or never." He told himself. How he wished he could choose never.
Walking up to a small café on the corner of something or another, he spotted Musa sitting at one of the outside tables. Hesitantly he walked up to the table she was at and sat across from her. Seeing her face bright up at the sight of him made his spirit drop even more.
He took at deep breath and decided to at least enjoy this last meeting with her as long as he could. He reached across the table and took hold of one of her hands, giving her a small smile. He was definitely going to miss her but it was for the best.
Seconds later a young waitress came to take their order, once she was done she gave Riven a flirtatious smile before walking away. Musa glared at her but was grateful that Riven paid no attention to her he seemed distracted for some reason. Their order arrived a short while later. She wasn't stupid she knew something was bothering him she knew him far too well.
"So are you going to clue me in or just sit there." She asked.
He wasn't even going to deny it, this was it, there was no more running away from this point. Still he wanted to break it to her as easily as possible, he did love her after all.
"Have you ever wanted something so bad that you're willing to do anything to obtain it, even if it means letting it go?" He Asked
"What?" She answered with a confused look sitting back in her seat
"Musa I don't think I can do this anymore, I can't see someone with dreams yet to accomplish."
"Ok stop talking shit and tell me what's going on already." She said pulling her hand away from him and sitting up straight.
"What I'm trying to say is… I can't see you anymore. You Musa have your whole future ahead of you, mine on the other hand stops as of today.
"EXCUSE ME!" She screamed standing up abruptly.
"What do you mean you can't see me anymore?" She said, tears spilling down her face.
No matter how much it hurt him to see her like this. He needed to finish what he started.
"Musa calm down you're causing a scene." He said reaching out to her.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" She screamed
" Damn it Musa stop acting like a child so I can explain things to you."
"What's there to explain that you're breaking up with me because of some stupid life theory of yours." She screamed.
"No just here me out." He said standing up, walking to the other side of the table coming face to face with her. He wanted to hold her but decided against it.
"Start talking." She said through gritted teeth, you could see her small form shaking.
Taking a deep breath he prepared himself to tell Musa exactly why he couldn't see her anymore. Why he couldn't love her anymore. Why they couldn't spend hours awake on the phone anymore. Why all the bonds between them had to be let go.
When suddenly out of the corner of his eyes he saw two motor cycles coming full speed down the road ahead. For a moment his whole mind went blank it's like someone put the world in slow motion and the only thing heard was the rumble of the bike engines. Until finally everything went back to its normal state. He'd only seen those types of bikes one other time in his life and it wasn't a pretty memory to recall. His heart rate sped up immensely and he thought he would faint at that moment.
Taking one quick look at Musa and without even thinking he grabbed her arm and ran, ran like death itself was chasing them, because it very well could be.
What is wrong with him one second he's breaking up with her the next he's dragging he's to god knows where.
"LET GO, YOU'RE HURTING ME!" She screamed struggling to get out of his grasp.
" SHUT-UP AND RUN!!!" He screamed in a tone of total command that instantly had Musa's legs pumping faster.
Riven loosened his grip on her arm and slid his hand down ,taking hold of her hand instead.
After who knows how many alley ways, secret passages, random peoples homes or family barbeques later they finally came to a stop. Musa was panting ready to just lay there on the ground and wait for someone to notice her and call the cops. She took a look around and realized she was no where near her side of town. They were at a apartment complex and not the good kind either. The place looked run down and you could tell that over half of the apartments weren't livable. Why the hell would Riven drag her to such a filthy place. And what were they running from in the first place, if he was looking for some place safe let her be the first to say this was not it.
Riven had yet to let go of her hand which made her feel a little better at least he still cared somewhat. She was about to ask for an explanation but just seeing him made her shut her mouth immediately. The look on his face was one she never witnessed on him before. It was a look of terror crossed with uncertainty. She almost had the idea that somewhere in their run she hit her head and it was no longer Riven holding her arm but some complete stranger. That's when fear started to make it's way into her, if Riven was worried then that means she should be damned close to terrified.
"Come on lets go." He whispered never letting go of her hand. She walked without saying a word. They made their way to the other side of the lot before walking up some stairs that led to the up stair apartments. She was cautious every step she took, who knew how sturdy this staircase was. Once they were on top they headed down the hallway she had her eye on the very last door, but of course knowing Riven that was too obvious he stopped at the one before it and took out a pair of keys.
Now she was really confused but not as confused as what happened as soon as he inserted the key. The old wooden door was replaced with a holographic one that turned blue with three different scanners on it. Riven placed both hand one of the devices, as soon as it read confirmed it disappeared, but there were two left. He then bent over until he was at eye level with the second which also was confirmed shortly after. There was one left and for this one Riven bit down on his right thumb drawing blood before pressing it against the last gadget. After downloading all the data it finally spoke "permission granted" and disappeared leaving the rusted door once again in its place.
Musa was so done, she didn't even want to try and guess what was behind that door after that little display nothing could surprise her, or so she thought. She looked up at Riven who still had yet to let go of her hand. He looked down at her and he looked like he wanted to say something but decided against it. After what seemed like forever he put the key in the door knob only this time it opened and they stepped inside.
The place wasn't half as bad as she expected just goes to show you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The place actually had a very homey feel to it. It was small that's for sure but still she could totally see herself in it. She was about to take a look around when suddenly
"RUBY!!" Yelled Riven
She stared at him for a second thinking he would say something, but he didn't so she took it upon herself to set things straight. She blinked once twice until finally
"RIVEN YOU STUPID WOMONIZER!!!!! SO THIS IS WHY YOU WANTED TO DUMP ME RIGHT? TIRED OF HAVING TWO OR THREE, HOW MANY GIRLS DO YOU HAVE EXACTLY. WHAT!! IS ONE GIRL NOT ENOUGH TO FILL YOUR NEEDS. MAN I SHOULD HAVE KNOW. THEY WARNED ME THEY ALL WARNED ME BUT DID I LISTEN NO, NO I DIDN'T. AND WHAT BREAKING MY HEART WASN'T ENOUGH YOU HAD TO LITERALLY DRAG ME HERE AND RUB IT IN MY FACE!!!! AND WHO THE HELL IS RUBY EXACTLY?! YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE THE BIGGEST URGE TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW!!!"
She made her point by kicking him in the shin but with her luck he didn't even flinch.
You have no idea how furious she was, he was her life she gave him everything. Then he just goes and stabs her in the back like that. She was so done no way in hell was she going to let him make a fool out of her again. She turned on her heels and headed towards the door more than ready to leave this place.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He warned
"Don't you dare tell me what to do!!" She screamed pointing a accusing finger at him.
She reached for the door only to find herself being hit with some invisible force and being knocked over onto her back. It didn't hurt but the humiliation that's what did, who knew it was physically possible to actually fall on your pride.
She could hear Riven walking towards her but she'd rather lay there on her back in the middle of his living room then accept his help. She knew it was childish but she had a right to be after all he put her through. She was already biting her lip to keep from crying she wouldn't give him the pleasure.
He reached out a hand to her but she only repaid him with a glare and stayed perfectly still. After a second or two he finally gave up and sat down crossed legged beside her. Which didn't sit to well with her, but she didn't complain.
"So are you ready to sit down and talk like adults or sit there like a spoiled brat?" He asked
"Don't waste your breath." She hissed
"Damn it, RUBY WHERE ARE YOU!" He screamed out again
"I DON'T WANT TO MEET THAT BITCH!" She screamed standing up ready to blast that door down.
"Look Musa I tolerated a lot out of you today, but I'm not going to let you insult my…"
"Your what huh, your girlfriend? The girl you've been cheating on me with, the slut who stole your love away from me." She asked in a low whisper tilting her head down
"Well if you would shut up I would tell you." He said
"Tell me what exactly?!" She asked her anger rising again. "That while I'm sitting at home you're over here doing that-" Before she could even blink he clamped his hand over her mouth and spun her around to face the doorway.
"Musa, meet my sister…Ruby."
He mind when completely blank as she processed the words that just came out of his mouth. Sister - My - Ruby - Meet - Musa … MUSA MEET MY SISTER RUBY!!!! The words echoed over and over in her head until the whole framed shattered and she was thrown back into reality.
Ok it was more than official, she was the most awful person alive. Standing in front of her was a little girl no more than three feet tall. All her life she'd been told not to jump to conclusion yet there she was doing it anyways. Well what would you expect, you're boyfriend breaks up with you, drags you to a apartment complex and starts screaming out another girls name. Man did she owe him a apology.
Riven let her go and waited for a response, she stumbled slightly before gathering the courage to speak.
"O-oh y-your s-sister." She stuttered out.
"W-well I g-guess that m-makes sense." She said not blinking once, just focusing all her attention on the little girl standing before her. She turned her head to face Riven almost like she was in a sort of trance. She gave him a slow nod before believe it or not fainting right there on the spot.
Great thought Riven catching her before she hit the ground. This turned out to be a bigger mess then he expected, but then again this was Musa he was talking about.
