‘I got out before it became a fight. But there was definitely a difference of opinion.’ ‘What happened?’ ‘I already told you. Brody got upse... when he realized I would be gone the rest of the summer. Then I got upset and left. I just knew if I stayed and we kept talking, it would get ugly.’ Ryan stopped and took a drink of her coffee. She’d gone to Lara’s mom’s after leaving Brody’s place the other night, she couldn’t take the idea of being around a happy couple, even if it was Lara and Trout.. After taking a large drink, she said, "Thank you, Robert. I needed that."She shifted in her seat, and began speaking again, "I'm sorry if I've caught you when you have other plans, but I just had to talk to you. Your friendship has meant so much to me. I don't know if you intended to back away from our ... relationship or not. I just had to find out. If me and my problems have been more than you want to be involved in, just say so."Robert was a little bit embarrassed as he thought about his. I’m going to make sure everyone in the family knows that if they tell you anything about my personal life, they’re dead to me. I’m sorry if that hurts, but you destroyed me twice by keeping secrets. You don’t get a third chance to ruin my life. I know we talked about this in general, but the more I have to be involved in this, the more I find out that hurts me worse. I’m angry and hurt and you could have stopped it at any point. Once the girls started telling you things that disturbed you, you. I've never had a boyfriend before" I replied timidly. For some reason I felt embarrassed admitting this to him. "Oh! why not? I bet they're lining up to take you out!" he said with a smile. "I just..never really thought about boyfriends or anything like that.." I could feel my cheeks glowing, so i buried my face in the wine glass. Despite the sudden shame I was starting to feel really loose from the booze. "But...wouldn't you like to know what it's like?" Dave asked me. I admitted that I was.
