(I still cant believe cory is dead. Rest in peace 3)
Kitty was confused to say the least. She had broken Ryder's nose, yet he was never even mad at her? It made her frustrated because she genuinely felt bad for him. She broke his freaking nose. Why did Ryder Lynn have to be so complicated? Why did he have to be the perfect, nice guy like the ones in those cheesy Nicholas Sparks movies? Kitty decided to put these thoughts aside and focus on getting through the rest of the day.
Kitty patiently waited outside for her father to pick her up from school. Two hours went by and no students were seen. It was a Friday and everyone had already left the school to go and do things that normal teenagers did. Her father had probably forgotten about getting her and fallen asleep. Kitty sighed and started walking to the bus stop about two miles off campus.
She was just leaving school grounds when she heard a loud engine coming closer and closer to her. Kitty turned to see who was in the car when she spotted Ryder. "Hey. You need a ride?" He offered with a smile. Kitty looked up at him and gave a slight smile back.
"Sure. Thanks, Ryder." She answered. He opened the passenger and let her in to the large truck. There was no radio and the truck looked pretty old, but the seats were pretty comfortable. Kitty fastened her seatbelt and leaned back in to her seat as Ryder pulled back in to the empty street.
"Where to?" He asked.
"Uh. You can just drop me off at Mckinley park, its only a few minutes away from my house. My neighborhood is kind of gated in. It would be hard to get in to anyways and i don't want to put you through the trouble." Kitty looked out the window as she talked softly.
"Alright." Ryder turned on to a more crowded street and started tapping the steering wheel with his fingers. The car was filled with silence, not exactly awkward though. Kitty could hear Ryder humming a familiar song softly and quietly. She started playing with her nails and laid her hands out on her legs. Ryder looked over at her arms and his eyes widened. "What happened?" He held a concerned look on his face and looked her in the eyes.
"Nothing. I just fell yesterday." She got uncomfortable and looked away from him."Im getting really tired of this Kitty!" He raised his voice to an almost yell. "Tell me whats going on!" Ryder's face looked the angriest she had ever witnessed.
"I said it was nothing, Ryder!" She yelled in return. Ryder was getting frustrated and suddenly gripped her shoulder with a strong squeeze. She cringed and turned away. His eyes widened and his face was filled with regret.
"Kitty. God, Kitty, im so sorry." His face looked sad and guilty. Ryder stopped for a minute and looked away. He looked back at her with a concerned look on his gentle face. "Please don't tell me this has something to do with your father." He almost pleaded.
Kitty looked away, tears rolling down her face. She yanked the door open and jumped out quickly. She didnt turn back, didnt look at him, she just left and ran away. She ran as far as she could, as long as she could get away from him.
