Chapter 16 - Makeing a Decision

Wakeing up a few hours later he opened his eyes and realizes that he forgot to log off, so he does just that.

----------

Taking off his headset so he can check the time on his phone.

[4:26 AM]

Ryan could of done this in game but he kind of panicked thinking he would miss the bus. However finding out he didn't makes him feel relieved.

Noticeing that he wasnt tired, Ryan decided to get ready for school and make breakfast for his sister and mom as it was his moms night off work. She normaly sleeps properly on these days and would wake up around six to see them off to school since it would be about fifteen minutes before the buses would arive.

Heading down stairs, Ryan got a shower and started makeing breakfast. By the time he was done in the kitchen, it was 5:30 so he went to check up on his sister who was still sleeping when he entered.

Sitting next to her he wondered if he should wake her or not. Her sleeping face remember's him of their childhood when he would read her books to help her get to sleep and it pained him to think of waking her. However he still ended up deciding to be a mean brother and rock her back and forth by the sholder to try and wake her.

"Kana it's time for school. You are going to be late if you dont get ready. The bus with be here in 45 minutes."

Sitting up and opening her eyes Kana could see her brother sitting next to her on the bed. Rubbing her eyes a little, Kana then looked at the time on her digital clock. As soon as she read the time, she got up and rushed out of the room.

"Stupid clock didnt go off again!" Hearing her He chuckled and thought. 'No it went off because I heard it. You probably just shut it off again in your sleep.' Ryan could hear her alarm go off at 5:15 but decided that she would come down when she was ready. However when 15 minutes past he wondered if she fell back asleep and it turns out she did.

Walking out of Kana's room, Ryan could see his moms door open.

"Morning mom." Ryan said with a smile.

"Morning... Do you think I should get her a alarm clock that is harder to turn off?" Hearing Jasmine, Ryan pondered for a second but shook his head in the end.

"Nah~ Just have her set alarms on her phone as well so she can't shut them all off with ease." Ryan replyed with a defeated look on his face.

Heading down stairs to eat, Ryan waited for his sister and mother. While waiting the thought of yesterday's events fresh in his mind and led him to wonder if it was ok to go to school with everything still unclear.

The fact that Rianna or at least he can only assume the real Rianna that just stiched his wounds would think he was resting, so she wouldnt do anything but stay with him and keep him alive as she seemed to have a lot of feeling twords him from when he looked into her eyes, made him feel like doing so would be okay.

The only feelings he could make out. when looking into her eyes was Worry, Happyness, Greatfulness and one other, but that one was something he couldn't pinpoint on what to call it. It was fuzzy and warm but when thinking, no name came to mind.

Finishing his breakfast Ryan noticed his mother at the table but his sister was nowhere to be seen. Sighing while getting up he went to the kitchen to get a container. He filled it with what she liked and put it in her lunch bag, then into her bag that was laying on the couch.

As he expected she came down the staires and grabed a piece of toast and her bag and waited at the door for him. Grabbing his own bag he walked to the door and said bye to his mom before heading to the bus stop.

Going to school was a uneventful thing and when he could he stayed away from others and did his work.

Grabing everything he missed at the start of class and handing it in at the end made the teaches wonder how, but that wasnt anything new. He never was one to sociallise in school so in middle school he read and studied alot at school while playing games at home. He found it entertaining but it just made others want to use him so he stayed away from them and focused on himself.

Most of the things they covered in high school is what he read in middle school thanks to the teachers giveing him books to borrow and encouraging him. Well at least most of his teachers as he wasnt much of a history fan so he stayed away as much as he could. He loved the myths but hated the actual history stuff.

When lunch arrived Ryan got in line and waited to get his food. The line moved quickly and just when he was looking for a spot to sit down he felt someone grab his arm lightly.

Seeing it was Emilia who had just grabbed on his arm lightly, Ryan wanted to ask her what she was doing but she only lightly tugged on him while turning to walk twords a table. Noticing Kana, Brooke, and Trish at the table he followed to see what was going on.

"So did you need something?" Ryan asked while holding his trey since he didnt normal sit with others at lunch.

Brooke was the first to speak as they all looked at him.

"Yeah. For you to sit down." Hearing her domineering voice Ryan picked a spot at the table and sat down.

"What about now?" Ryan asked while looking at what the school called lunch. He just started to play with it with his fork while listening for the girls to continue.

"Why are you ditching us?" Emilia asked with sadness in her voice.

What she said made him stop playing with his food and wonder if he was supposed to sit with them durring lunch or something. Not that he would mind but that might give the wrong impressions to others.

"Well if me sitting with you all durring lunch is what you want. I dont mind."

"Yes! We would like that very much!" Trish spoke without thinking and received a slap to the back of the head from Brooke.

"That's not what she meant Ryan. Emilia meant why arnt you going to play with us?" Brooke said with a frown.

"But I will be playing with you. Right this second its complicated but I should be good in a few days." Explaining he looked at Emilia.

Her expression lightened a little but looking at her eyes she still wasnt happy.

"Why?" Speaking in a low tone that was hard to hear over the rest of the cafeteria. He got up and sat next to her.

Ryan told her everything that happened up until this point while leaveing out a few details that she didnt need to know. The others leaned in to hear as well as they havnt heard the full story and just tid bits from Kana.

After hearing everything Emilia still wasnt happy but agreed that he should stay were he is as what she heard happen to him made her feel sick. He was in so much pain and they all wanted to be selfish. It made them all feel down.

Noticing this Ryan gave Emilia a hug. He didnt care what others thought as he had decided to accept his feelings after what happened yesterday.

Flushed red Emilia tried to push him away lightly but didnt put much strength into it. Noticeing her do this he whispered.

"Do you want me to let go?" Not sure how to answer, Emilia just stayed still and her resistance also faded. She did want this but why did he do it when others were watching. Looking at Brooke and Trish she could see their shock and even Kana's eyes were wide open.

Deciding that he hugged her long enough, Ryan let her go and pulled over his trey so he could eat something.

Noticing there stares he ask "What." but none of them answered. Emilia on the other hand was flushed red but had a small smile on her face. Eventually the girls also started to eat but would keep glancing at Emilia from time to time.

After lunch they all went there separate ways and only meet back up after school at the bus stop. The girls all sat together and Ryan ended up in a sandwich between Brooke and Trish. It wasnt really comfortable so after a moment of thought, Ryan told Trish to get up as she was smaller and sat her on his lap. Ryan could see that the bus driver had noticed but didnt get paid enough to cair it would seem as he just continued to wait for more kids to get onto the buss. All 3 of the other girls looked at him. while Trish had a happy smile on her face and finally Kana decided to say something as her brother had been acting weird today.

"Okay Ryan, I'm not sure what has gotten into you but why are you acting like this?"

"What do you mean?" Deciding to act innocent Ryan looked at her. "Am I doing something wrong?"

"You cant just take a girl and sit her on your lap." Kana informed him of what was wrong in this situation but he didnt think it was that big a deal.

"Oh! Sorry! I thought that it would be more comfortable."

About to grab Trish by the waist to try and move her Trish grabs his arms.

"He is right Kana. This is a lot more comfortable." Replying with a devious smile, Trish looked at Kana.

About to slap Trish on the head Brooke felt Ryan put his hand on her lap. Blushing Brooke looked at him but he was looking at his sister so she thought it was a accident. Putting her own hand on top of his she gulped then inter locked her fingers into his.

Watching all of this Kana looked at her brother dumbfounded. 'Is he doing this all on accident or does he know how they feel?'

Noticing his sister sit down Ryan could feel Trish pull his hand to her left thigh and rest it on her. Not sure how far he should go he just left it at that. Its not that he wanted to even let it go this far but they seemed ok with it so he didn't mind. He just wanted to let them know of his feelings but what happened was not something he entirly expected.

With Trish he knew she would be fine sitting in his lap as she has wanted to do it before but he denied her as he thought it was weird for his sister's friend to want to act like a child. As for Brooke he kind of expected her to push his hand away but instead she interlocked her fingers with his hand.

Emilia had been watching them this whole time and couldnt help but pout. Turning away from Ryan she started chatting with Kana.

Trish stayed happily on his lap and Brooke held his hand as they chatted till they had to get off the bus.

When the bus came to her stop, Emilia glanced at him for a moment and pouted again before getting off the bus. As soon as Emilia was off the bus and it was just Kana and Ryan, Kana moved to sit next to him and spoke.

"I dont know what your doing but I hope your not messing with them." Kana couldnt help looking at him with a frown.

"I just decided to accapt that they are important to me. If something comes of it then I will see what happens. I will be honest though, I feel things might of got out of hand." Scratching his cheek with a finger Ryan wasnt sure what elts to say to her.

It wasnt like he wanted to hide anything from her so thinking on it he realized she already knew about how he feels about the three so he decided to tell her the truth.
