Hello my lovelies! Welcome back to this story!
I can't express the amount of apologies that I need to give you in one chapter. I could give you so many excuses for why I haven't been uploading but that wouldn't really make a difference. (But if you must know my computer was being a total ass)
So this is in Ryder's POV and I hope you enjoy :D
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy and if you have any suggestions on how the story will play out, you can tell me in the reviews
Love, ChevronStars

Ryder's POV (Tenth Grade)
Four Years. The worse four years of my life. Without Marley life just sucks. It's like your other half is just…dead. Missing. Gone. Where'd it go? Well, right now my other half is 1,192 miles away in Ohio. And right now Miami is the worst place on Earth.
I wonder how Marley is? Honestly, I haven't talked to her since the day I kissed her and left. I've tried to, don't get me wrong, but my mom decided to change my phone number so I could "cut all ties" and "start fresh in a new city". Yeah, right. Like that's actually gonna happen. Because I'm gonna forget about Marley altogether. Marley, the girl I love. Marley, the girl I kissed than ran away like a scared little girl.
I was hoping that my mom would at least let me call, or e-mail, or something but she wouldn't. Not even a measly text would get past her, even if I stole her phone. I eventually gave up trying to reach her, because I knew my mom wouldn't.
So I went through the motions of life and helped my grandparents, made new friends and even dated a girl. But it didn't last, she broke up with me when she found out that I moved from Ohio to Miami. Some weird stuff, almost as crazed as Kitty. Gah. Gross. Dating Kitty. Bleh.
Until, my mom told me something that made the world shift.
Tilt even.
Turn upside down.
We were moving back to Ohio. And back to Marley, and Kitty, and Jake, and Lima.
(Page Break)
When we got back to Lima the first thing I noticed was how everything was different. Even the park had changed. It was less used, and when it was the kids had phones in their hands wherever they went. I also wasn't in the same house that I grew up in. So I wasn't on the same bus with Marley.
There was only one day until school and well I guess the equivalent to school was hell. So I guess one day 'til pure hell.
"Hey," my mom said with a soft undertone in her voice. "You ready for school?" I didn't reply so she kept talking. I didn't know what to say. What do you say to someone who took you away from your hometown to Miami, only to take him back to Lima in four years. "I'm sorry, Ryder. I know that that's not enough of an apology but it's the best I can do. And I want to wish you good luck in tenth grade."
I finally looked at my mom, and analyzed her face. There was regret hidden underneath her eyes, I could tell that she was guilty that she took us from our real home in Lima. So I said the only thing that I could to make it better. "Thank you," I replied honestly. I got up and started packing my stuff or school so I didn't have to rush tomorrow morning. "I'll see you later." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and left the room to go to bed.
Hopefully, I could sleep my worries away. But I doubt it.
I left before my mom woke up. I couldn't face her today, I still loved her. I always will, but I needed to go to school alone. I don't know why but I did. I got to school by walking because we lived close enough.
It was earlier than I expected it to be when I made it to the entrance of school. I just watched the students get off the bus. Until one caught my eye. Brown hair. Piercing blue eyes and bright pink dress that stood out upon the varsity jackets, and cheerleader uniforms.
As I walked into school, I noticed the same girl getting a hug from a brown skinned guy. Jake. So that's-
Marley. I stumbled the rest of the way to the office in the same sort of daze that you would only be in if you were drunk. Which most likely Jake was.
"Hello there!," a woman who wore too much makeup and too much pink said enthusiastically. "You look new, state your name: last name, then first. I did as I was told and she handed me my schedule.
I was late. Really late. I hindsight I should've gotten my schedule when I instantly got to school. But I didn't so I got to history late. The teacher didn't really notice, just shining her shield and getting ready for class. I didn't question it because that's Lima for you. As I looked out to the class, who were taking advantage of the teacher's lack of attention, I could pick out these two girls who were making conversation mentally. But they didn't notice me.
"Hey," the teacher called me over and out of my thoughts. "took you long enough, anyway you'll be sitting next to that girl over there. What's her name?" she said as if I knew. "Oh! Marley! Yeah, her name is Marley. Nice girl." I'm pretty sure my heart stopped beating for a second.
I attempted to request a seat change because I knew sitting next to Marley would be uncomfortable for both of us. But she denied me and I walked over in the same drunk kind of daze that I had on this morning. Even though I wasn't really drunk.
In those 30 seconds I tried to think of everything I could start to say to Marley. But I didn't. Instead, I looked like a fool. Out of all the things I could say the one thing I did say was like I was questioning her name. Which I quite honestly was.
She looked at me with those bright blue eyes. And I was hoping to see happiness, but I knew that that was a longshot. She looked at me with betrayal and sadness. I bet she could hear my heart break. I sat down next to her and tried to get her to look at me but she wouldn't. I don't know why I was so surprised. I left her without a word, and I deserved it, what she was doing. Ignoring me.
But honestly, it hurt like hell.
I hoped you liked it. Again, I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I will try to update a lot this week since it is my April vacation.
If you want, I would really appreciate some reviews. It's nice to know to people read it and I love just knowing your feedback.
Oh! And if you have any ideas about where this story should go. Please tell me because I am kinda winging it.
Anyway, goodbye my lovelies!
