Broken Promises

chapter two

Rivers POV

"Dude, what are doing?" Asked my best friend Kyle, with concerned eyes, as we walked out of the school and to his car.

"I don't know man, but I don't think I can let that girl out of my sight." I said, running a hand through my hair, thinking about her and how beautiful she was with her blond hair and green eyes and ruby red lips.

"You really like that girl don't you?" Kyle asked, with a questioning stare, snapping me from my thoughts.

"Yes, but I can't expose her to this world. I don't want her to get hurt because I made the mistake of letting her get too close." I replied, with a sad look on my face as I thought of her getting hurt because of the life I was dragged into while I was getting my gun ready for a mission.

"We all have people who we care about that we don't want to see get hurt."

That's when my phone rang and that's when I noticed the time, which was already 12:00. That was when lunch started at school, where I wish I was, because then I could see her. I let out a hard breath as I answered it, knowing that it was our boss and knowing exactly what he wanted us to do.

"On our way boss." Is all I said as I picked up the phone as we pulled up to this house and I looked at Kyle with a look he knew all too well.

"Show time." Was the last thing said between us as we quickly got out of the car, making sure to keep quiet as we made our way into the house that was filled with people from our biggest enemies in town which were the bulldogs.

Our two gangs have been enemies for as long as any of us could remember.

"Well, look who we have here boys." Michael said with his back to us.

We then raised our guns and started firing them. We got the majority of the group that was there but some managed to escape including their leader. We look around at the bodies on the floor and the blood that's everywhere. Then we look at one another and walk out the door. After everything was done, I looked at Kyle, seeing him breathing just hard as I was.

"I can't wait till the day we can get out of this stuff." Says Kyle.

"Agreed, now lets get out of here." I say putting my gun in the waist of my pants and looking around to see if there was anyone else there.

I then called the boss to let him know the mission was complete. Then we got back into Kyle's car and drove off back to the school, not looking back. The drive back was long and when I looked at the clock on my phone it was already time for school to end.

"What you wanna do now?" Kyle asked.

"Go back to school. I gotta get my car." I answered, wondering why I didn't just ride with Kyle or Tanner to school.

Kyle looked at me with a questioning look. "I don't think this is about your car. I think you just wanna see her again."

I just looked out the window of the car, not caring that I didn't answer him back because we both knew I had to see her again. We pulled into the parking lot at exactly 2:55. Only five minutes left before the bell goes off and everyone leaves the school and goes to their cars.

"Go park by her truck." I told Kyle as we entered the parking lot, seeing an empty space by it.

I got out of his car and decided to put down the tailgate of her black, jacked up truck while Kyle is standing beside his car looking down at his phone. We both just wait around until the bell goes off and everyone starts making there way out of the school.

"Man, what's up?" Asks Tanner when he walks up to Kyle and I.

"Rivers got a crush on a really hot chick." Says Kyle with a smirk on his face looking up from his phone and sliding it in his back pocket.

"Shut up." Is all I say. When I turn around I see her leaving the school with her arm locked around her best friends arm.

"Kailey come on, I'll give you a ride to work if it'll make you feel better." I heard her sweet voice say as she and her friend started walking out of the school towards her truck, which I'm currently sitting, on when Tanner decided to join me.

"What are doing sitting on my truck?" She questioned with her arms across her chest as a deadly stare came across her eyes as she stared at me, not caring that Tanner was sitting by me and Kailey was still by her side.

"I was waiting for you. That's what I was doing." I say, hopping off her truck so I'm standing in front of her. She was shorter then me by just a few inches.

"Well I gotta get my friend to work." she said, pointing to her best friend who was standing behind her.

"No, it's okay I'll just walk." her friend Kailey said. "I'll be fine, plus you know my work isn't far from here."

"No, I'll gladly take you to work." said Kyle. " Tanner you wanna come with?"

Tanner then climbed off of Rose's truck and into the backseat of Kyles car with Kailey climbing into the passenger side.

"Fine, but I'm picking you up for school tomorrow, no objections." she looked at Kailey with a pointed finger.

And with that they waved goodbye as we watched them leave the parking lot and turn onto the street and then her attention was back on me.

"So, once again, I'll ask what were you doing sitting on the tailgate of my truck?" She looked at my with confusion in her eyes.

"Waiting for you." I said with a smirk, as I closed the tailgate of her truck. "I just wanna talk to you for awhile."

"If you think I'm just gonna fall for you and just climb into bed with you like all those other girls you're dead wrong." She said with her hands on her hips.

"Maybe not right now, but someday you'll change your mind." I said as I made my way towards her, closing the distance between us. "Because someday you will be mine and only mine." I say in a low husky voice.

She looked at me with confusion in her eyes and man did she look so beautiful in her blue jeans, black tank top, and leather jacket paired with a pair of black high heel shoes with red lipstick and minimal makeup that brought out her green eyes.

God, this girl was gonna be the death of me!

I thought to myself as I stared from those green eyes to her ruby red lips and then to checking out her whole body, then back to her eyes.

She put her hand on my chest, trying to keep some space between us.

"Get in and we'll go talk about whatever it is you wanted to talk to me about." She said, opening the driver door of her truck and climbed in.

I followed, getting into the passenger seat. She put the keys in the ignition and the truck came to life, rumbling underneath us.

"What are doing Friday night?" I asked her, breaking the silence as we left the school parking lot.

"Why do you care?" She asked looking annoyed and still confused.

"I was just seeing if you were busy at all." I shrugged, looking out the window.

Seeing how I wasn't going to get an answer from her, I turned on the radio. That's when Despacito by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee with Justin Beiber came on and she looked at me with wide eyes. "You okay if I turn it up?" She asks.

"Go ahead baby." And with that she turned up the song and started singing along with it. I couldn't help but smile at her.

Soon, I hope to have you all to myself. I thought to myself, watching her sing and move her head and tapping on the steering wheel to the beat of the music.

"We're here." she said.

I look around to see that we had driven to a park, just a few streets down from the school. We climb out of the truck and make our way over to a bench that's in the park watching some of the little kids play around.

"Rose..." I started to say, not sure how to ask or what to expect her to say. "Would you go the dance with me this Friday?"

"You go to dances?" She asked, looking at me, with curiosity in her voice. "I thought someone like you would have something better to do on a friday night then go to a dance.'

"I will only if you agree to go with me." I say, taking her hand and running my thumb across it.

"Okay." She said, staring at our hands that were intertwined and then back to my face.

She looked scared but happy at the same time and I think she could tell she made me the happiest guy in the would by saying she'd go to the dance with me. I just hope the bulldogs don't come and wreck things.
