I'll Get Stuck In Your Memory

He was tired emotionally but that wouldn’t stop him from trying to get over it. Ryder slumped slightly and ran a hand through his hair only to let out a long sigh at the end of it. “Are you absolutely positive you would be okay with me doing whatever I’d want to it?” He questioned her with furrowed brows, Ryder had a wild imagination when he set his mind to it. He adored art, his body was filled with it so being given possible free range to do what he pleased would be something he greatly appreciated. “I think I’d like that, actually.” Ryder told her with a small smile.

Fighting off heart break was something that was quite draining. Trying to handle a pregnancy on top of that wasn’t the easiest task in the entire world. But having friends around balanced it out, it made her feel better, a lot more comforted. She needed it, so Ryder coming to stay with her for a while was going to be nice for her. And hopefully it would be nice for him too. “I don’t mind what you do with it. I mean, as long as you aren’t knocking down walls, then you can do whatever you want. Go crazy with paint. Whatever you want.” She said.

“Still George. I don’t think it has to be just for boys.”

“And if you were to have a second child?”

Dallas blinked for a second before realizing who she was talking to. “Oh my gosh I’m so sorry. My mind is gone. This shift can’t end soon enough.” She quickly brought the drink to a different blonde before returning. “So tell me darling, how are things?”

She shook her head, “Its fine, really.” She said, leaning back in her chair slightly. Then looked back at her friend when she returned, “Their going. I mean preparing for a baby is a lot of work.”

He had no idea who he could end up with in the future but he was in no shape to find out now, or at least he didn’t think so. Sure he believed in destiny but he hated the hurt that came with it, getting hurt so many times beforehand just to find who you’re supposed to be looking for… is it really worth it? He had no damn clue. He gave the female a smile and he really did appreciate her offering him a place, besides he was a hell of a lot more comfortable being surrounded by her than anyone else. That he wasn’t afraid to admit to. “Then I can talk to her and we’ll arrange this, yeah?” He asked with a warm smile.

Life was full of heart break, not even just romantic heartbreak but heart break in all areas. She was sure that romantic heart break though was one of the hardest to go through. And here she was, her and one of her best friends, both going through it at the same time. She felt awful most of the time, and she knew he probably did too. But tonight, she could tell that her friend wasn’t going to let her feel awful, and she’d do the best to make sure he didn’t either. “Yeah, of course. Just let me know. I’ll keep that room empty for you and you can do whatever you please with it.” She promised.

All of his relationships had failed and he knew that maybe it wasn’t meant to be but it didn’t make it hurt any less, being someone who never liked showcasing his feelings or allowing people in, it was going to scar. But Ryder knew he couldn’t fake or put up walls around Avalynn because she’d know how to knock them down and she knew the real him. A long sigh left his mouth before he shrugged. “I kind of feel like I’m burdening her, plus I miss my art room.” He said with a small frown on his face. But he thought for a moment, he didn’t exactly want Avalynn going through everything alone so maybe it could work out. “It might not be such a bad idea..” He trailed off with a small smile. 

Ava knew that all relationships had to fail until you wound up with the person you were supposed to be with. That was how life worked, how it had to work. Obviously life had a different path then for her to end up with Chase, even if that was exactly what she wanted, exactly what she always thought would happen for her. It would just take time for her to end up with the person life wanted her with. She felt relieved when her friend said it might not be a bad idea. She figured he’d stay a month or two, but she was sure he’d want to be out before the baby was born. “You are more than welcome to come and stay with me. I mean, its a three bedroom house and I’ll have the extra room.” She mused.

He hadn’t expected his relationship to fail but then again everything had felt so right about Mason but it took a turn, so he should not have been all too surprised about Jada. He was fairly new to dating, having been with about three people within the last few years since his juvenile days. Ryder desperately wanted a fresh start, he didn’t want to drown in his own thoughts every night but rather be able to smile and say that he was okay and mean it. At her question he paused before responding. “I am staying with Kenzie for a little while, it’s not long term because I don’t want to burden her but I really had nowhere else to go. It makes me sound like a little bit of a loser, doesn’t it?” He questioned with a frown on his face.

Relationships are scary. It was weird to think that in a relationship, there was only two ways a relationship could possibly work. You were either going to be with this person forever, or you were going to end up breaking up. But there were so many better ways to break up with someone then the ways that Jada and Chase had gone about to do so with them. It was rough, and she knew Ryder was hurting in the same way she was. “No, that doesn’t sound like a loser. I mean, I was staying with Maxine, so I mean, I guess if that is the case, then I’m a loser too. I was going to ask if you wanted to stay with me until you found a place, but if you’re okay at Kenz, you don’t have too.” She told him.
