Going Home to Broken Promises

So another one of my favorite chapters. My favorite cereal is Froot Loops. I can't believe this story has gotten me so full with creative juices! It's awesome! So expect to see more from me in other categories. I will try my hand at Green Day, and possible My Chemical Romance next. And maybe, if I feel like it, Fall Out Boy! But for the time being, Green Day is in my future! They need a fresh, new author anyway! Lol! Anyway, on with your daily dose of drama!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Long after everyone except Brendon, Silver and Ryan had gone off to bed, Ryan and Silver spoke to each other.


“So, how has school been?” He asked rather sourly.


“It’s been good. I guess not much to complain about, seeing as it is school.” She said with a half-smile. “How about you?”


“Me? Well, the band is still big. I’m engaged to be married within the next year… that’s it.” He said. “How’s your boyfriend?” That was a bitchy question.


“I don’t have a fucking boyfriend, Ryan.” She said, glaring at him. Brendon was off making another drink, and she was thankful he wasn’t there. “You lied to me… You fucking lied to me, Ryan Ross.”


He rolled his eyes. “I never heard from you. What was I supposed to do? Wa…”


“Wait? Yeah. You said you would… forever.” She said, her tone becoming weak and on the verge of tears.


“I thought you left for good after that first six months and no phone calls, so I got a girlfriend and a few months later, I asked her to marry me. She said yes, obviously.” He said, showing the ring on his finger. She gritted her teeth in response. “Nothing to counter with?”


“Fuck off.” She said, standing up as Brendon came in.


“Where are you going off to?” He asked cheerfully.


“Nowhere, I was just showing Ryan where I want to get my tattoo.” She lied, sitting down. Brendon nodded and they talked until midnight. Ryan’s phone rang and he answered it.


“Hello baby? I’ll be ready whenever, smoochums. Alright see you in a few!” He said. “I love you too!” He hung up.


Silver felt her stomach churn. She came all the way to Las Vegas from Michigan for nothing… “Well, I guess I’ll be going off to bed now, guys!” She said after recomposing herself. She put on a fake grin and hugged Brendon. She walked over to Ryan and closed her eyes before she hugged him as well. She didn’t open them until she was three feet away. Ryan noticed, but Brendon hadn’t; her back was to him.


She looked out of the window a few minutes later and saw a short raven-haired girl get out of a car and walk to meet Ryan halfway up the walkway before he started to kiss her frantically. When they pulled back, Silver could’ve sworn he looked back at her. That girl was so pretty, and probably had a personality to match it.


Silver laid down on her bed, and let sleep take her, unaware of the return of the nightmares. She thrashed about, not really used to having nightmares anymore and woke up sweating an hour before daybreak. She closed her eyes, not remembering what the nightmare was about. She threw on a tracksuit and set out on a jog, something she was prone to do on campus when she had a nightmare. They were usually small and calm, but this one was worse than all of them in the past year put together.


She raced down the sidewalk and only stopped when a car pulled up beside her, rolling the window down.


“Do I count as a stranger if I tell you my name is Luke?” He asked friendlily. She smiled at him, looking at his distinct features. “It’s just, you looked so worn out. Would you like to get some coffee?”


“Uh, sure. I’m Silver, by the way.” She said. He nodded. ‘I know…’ He thought. She got a closer look at him and admired his looks. He was a stereotypical ‘emo boy’ and he looked good like it. He had the side swooped jet black hair, green eyes and a lip piercing. He wore solid black, though everything made him look extremely skinny.


“So, are you a college student?” He asked. She nodded. “I seen your suit. CCS. Nice. I was going to go there, but they wouldn’t accept me.”


“Oh.” She said. They arrived at the little coffee shop and he bought her a chocolate cherry mocha latte, and they talked for a little while. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. She couldn’t help but want to call him Ryan, however.


“So, I’ll call you.” She said, looking at the freshly inked number on the inside of her hand. He smiled, leaning in for a hug. She gave him a kiss on his cheek and went inside.


“Silver! Thank GOD!” Brendon screeched. She looked at the clock and cringed. It was almost 10. “Where have you been?”


“Long story short, I met a guy over coffee because I was out running after I had a fucking nightmare. Now then, I am going to bed. Just tell the Fergie twins to do whatever until I see fit for me to get up again.” She said in a single breath before heading off to her room for a needed nap.

Yeah, I know. She's nutsycho. I'm not revealing the ending, but I will say it's a happy one. Unless I decide to change it because of lack of reviewers... LOL! Anyway, as a pop quiz, what is my favorite cereal? :D
