(Goodbye Ryder)

Avalon's P.O.V

"Nothing" I play it cool and boing one of my curls.

"I swear to fucking god Ava" He hisses while tilting my face up so I was looking at him.

"I heard that" He mutters, looking angry.

"Then why ask me what I said? " I frown.

"You've been lying about him hurting you and I'm going to go kick that pricks fucking ass." He growls then looks at my arm.

"Goldi..... " He puts a finger lightly on one of my bruises then looks at my shirt, lifting it up so he can see my stomach.

I gasp and swat his hands away "perv! " I scowl.

He rolls his eyes in annoyance "You have bruises all over you" He stands up, agitated.

I bite my lip nervously as he paces then stops in front of a wall.

I open my mouth to confront him but he pulls his fist back and punches the wall, making a giant hole appear.

I gape at him and scatter to my feet.

"There's punching bags for a reason you know! " I say in shock as I back up towards the door.

"Smart ass" He grumbles.

"Violent caterpillar" I huff and back up more.

"Goldi it's funny that you think I don't know you're trying to leave." He says without humor.

"It's worth a shot" I chirp and run down the hallway, yanking open the door and taking off down the street.

He's crazy.

I feel someone wrap their arm around my waist and pull me to a stop.

"It's dangerous to be running alone at night" Xavier says calmly.

"It's dangerous to deprive a girl of sleep" I slump in defeat and he keeps his arm around me.

"Yeah well, you didn't hear me through" He pouts.

"I heard enough to know you're going to beat Ryder's ass" I look up at him and fight back a happy smile.

"Yeah well, he's abusive so he's gonna get whats coming to him. In the meantime, break up with him. "

I laugh "yeah, I don't have a death wish. "

"I'll be next to you and if he tries anything that'll be his death wish" Xavier let's me go and I brush off my shirt, walking home with him beside me.

The majority of our walk is awkward silence, but I know he's only making sure I get home safe.

"Tomorrow, I'll be waiting at the door, you're ending it right away" He says, sounding bored as we stand in front of my door.

I awkwardly nod and give a small wave before running into my house and closing the door.

"Hey hunny" My mom appears and gives me a small hug.

"Hey mum, I'm really tired, I know I just got home but I'm heading to bed" Without waiting for her answer, I speed upstairs and close the door.

I'm extremely nervous for tomorrow and I know I won't be able to sleep, despite my exhausted state.

So instead, I pull out a book and read that.

~ ~ ~ ~

I smile as I read the last page in my book and I look out the window.

Oh.

The suns up.

I gasp and look at the clock.

6: 58a.m. it reads in big bold letters.

"Heh sleep is for losers anyway" I rub my eyes in attempt to stay awake and get up, getting ready for school.

I race downstairs with my bag in my hand and I seat myself at the kitchen table, smiling at the bowl of cereal my mom lays in front of me.

"What this? " I ask in surprise, seeing as she never makes me anything.

"I realized last night that I'm never at home anymore and I'll be trying my hardest to change that, so I got you some cereal so you wouldn't waste any time" She grins and picks up her purse, looking for something.

"You can have today off, someone finally took the open job so now, we have an extra set of hands" She beams.

"That's great!" I say with a mouth full of frosted flakes.

(A/N: I will never eat frosted flakes again after I badly cut the roof of my mouth while eating some.)

"Well I know I said I would be home more, but I still have a restaurant to run, see you hunny" She kisses my cheek and leaves.

I hear her car leave and I look up at the time.

7: 35.

School starts at 8: 30 I really should have gotten more sleep but I still need to walk to school.

Grabbing my bag and putting my bowl in the sink, I lock up the house and turn around, freezing when I see a familiar boy leaning against a motorcycle.

"Hey Goldi" He smirks, running his hand through his hair.

"Get on." His demeanor changes to serious as he watches my shocked facial expression turn to one of happiness.

I would be lying if I didn't say, riding a motorcycle, wasn't on my bucket list.

I gasp and run up to it, running my fingers along the black paint and smiling at Xavier.

He frowns.

"How much sleep did you get last night? " He questions while handing me a helmet.

"About 7 hours, why? " I lie smoothly as I put on the helmet.

He laughs and takes off my helmet, poking the corner of my mouth.

"Did you know that when you lie, the corner of your mouth twitches" He smirks and puts my helmet back on, tightening the straps.

"Okay Goldi, get ready for a rough ride" He winks and I smile, nodding.

He sighs and shakes his head "you're too fucking innocent" He sits on his bike and I slide on, awkwardly placing my hands on the side of the bike.

"If you don't have a death wish, I'd probably hold onto me" He says sounding amused.

"Oh" I place my hands on his shoulders and smile.

"I swear to God.... " He grabs my arms and wraps them around his waist."now you won't fall off. "

I blush lightly at being so close to someone physically and he starts the bike, driving away quickly causing me to gasp and cling tighter to him.

His body shakes as if he's laughing and he speeds up.

"S-slow down! " I watch the world blur by as he goes fast, but he slows down a little.

"That's what sh-" He cuts himself off and stays silent.

We pull up into the school parking lot and I hold onto him, still shaken up.

"I know I'm super ripped and attractive Goldi, but please. You still have a boyfriend" He laughs and I quickly retract my arms.

I hop off and he walks to me, struggling with taking off my helmet.

"Stop squirming so much" He scolds me and I hold my head still, he eventually gets it off and then places it on his bike, dragging me to the school.

"Ava? What the fuck? " I hear someones sharp voice growls.

"Ryder what the fuck" Xavier mocks childishly while spinning us around so we were facing a pissed off Ryder.

"What are you doing, hanging out with this delinquent? " He scowls and walks towards me.

Xavier steps up, a permanent scowl etched on his face.

"She's got something to say to you" He growls and looks at me smiling softly as if telling me to speak up.

"Ryder.... I..... We're.... " I wring my fingers anxiously and tuck a piece of curly hair behind my ear.

He taps his foot expectantly "we're what, Goldi? " Ryder sneers, mocking my nickname.

"We're over. " I say with a shaky breath.

He gapes at me and his eye twitches.

"Avalon fucking Jones, you didn't just do that" He steps forward.

A girl wearing a beige hijab steps up from the side, from apparently listening in.

"Ryder, we saw you kissing another girl at the party last night. I think that's a reason enough" She crosses her arms.

Tracey appears from beside the girl and raises an eyebrow at Ryder "you fucking did what? " She hisses.

Students start forming a circle around us and whisper to each other, sending us curious glances.

I see Stephen ushering some people away "Heaven forbid, do you people not have lives! " He raises his voice and more people leave.

He takes a spot next to Tracey and the other girl.

"I didn't ask for a fucking crowd Stephen, but despite you clearing others out. You're still here you hypocrite" Ryder glares at Stephen who raises his hands in a defensive manner.

"I take full claim on being a hypocrite" He grins.

"Well Goldi we can head out now if you'd like" Xavier whispers in my ear in a questioning tone.

I smile and turn to leave with him, feeling odd.

I feel someone grab my hair and pull me back, causing Xavier to be tugged back with me.

He glares at Ryder and strolls up to him as I rub my sore head.

He gets up in Ryder's face.

"You shouldn't have done that." Xavier hisses.

Then Ryder kisses him.

I gape at them with wide eyes and Xavier pulls away coughing violently and wiping his mouth in horror.

Stephen steps back a bit in shock.

"Goddamn Xavier, I didn't know you swung that way... I'm fine with it, I just... Ryder? Really? You could do so much better" He wags his finger at Xavier.

I sit down on the ground and hold my head in confusion.

Xavier whacks Stephen on the back of his head then angrily punches Ryder.

I scoot back as Xavier repeatedly punches Ryder.

Ryder only looks satisfied, but groans with every hit.

At one point he let's out a moan and Xavier practically jumps off of him in confusion.

He looks so distressed and angry.

"I'm not gay you fucking weirdo! " He hisses and wipes his mouth again.

"I think Ryder just got turned on by you punching him.... " Stephen concludes, shaking his head and winking at Tracey.

"I forgot to say earlier, but you're sexy" He finger guns her and backs away.

"Goldi I thought you said your boyfriend was obsessed with you?? " Xavier asks, walking towards me.

"I thought so.... " I say in shock, standing up.

"I'm going to have to do some crazy hetero things to forget this traumatic experience" He shivers in disgust.

Ryder lays on the ground, beaten up.

"I..... I'm sorry? " I look at Xavier and frown.

"It's not your fault that I picked a fight with someone who gets turned on by anger" He growls and wraps his arms around, me surprising me.

"Like I said. I need to do some crazy straight things. But no way in hell am I ruining your innocence" He drags my to the school and I wave goodbye at Tracey and everyone.

"Goodbye Ryder" I smile. Finally able to say goodbye.
