Guys chill I'm still figuring this out and Ryan had a whole chapter cuz he has a major character sorry
Just a little thought. When you wrote this chapter you wrote it in ryans perspective so it was slightly confusing. Next time can you state that in the beginning?
Ryans Point of View The wind whipping at my face, the leaves dancing in the wind, everything about it relaxed me. Step after step I push myself longer, faster, harder. I rub for the joy of it, for escaping reality, for my sanity. I run to remember and I run to forget. I run because it's who I am and always will be. I return from my run with a clear head and the knowledge of what has to be done. Somewhere along in my run I realized that I needed to leave. I know saying goodbye will be the worst part but I think it's for the best. No need to make the farewell lengthy and prolonged. I would tell Kenzie and be on my way. I go to find her and spot her in the kitchen helping to make dinner, a dinner I'd never eat. I see her and pull her into the hallway. "Can we talk in private," I ask. "Sure Ryan we can go to my room," she says and heads off in that direction. I follow behind her just enjoying being close knowing that soon I'd be far away. She was the person I would miss the most, because she was my only real family. She understood me the best and saying goodbye to her would be hard. We reach her room and I see the sleeping bags lying out. They weren't arranged normally, but on top of each other. I quickly realized what had happened last night. I felt I'm not sure really mainly sad. She deserves better than him but I say nothing because it wasn't my business anymore. She sits down on the sleeping bags and I join her. "What's the matter," she asks. "I'm not good at this," I say reaching to push a loose strand of hair out of her face. "Goodbyes have never been my thing maybe it's because I've never really had the chance to say goodbye before, but I will now." she sat there studying me silently waiting for me to go on. "I know my family is here but I need to move on. This is your home not mine and your the only one keeping me here. I need to go back to being on my own and only worrying about one person. I know your a strong beautiful woman and I loved being around to watch you become her. I know this won't be easy for you but I need to say goodbye." "Well Ry," she says, "I trust you're making the right decision for you. I will miss you more than you could possibly know, but I won't stop you if this is what you think is right." "It is for now. I'm coming back. I don't know how, I don't know when, but I'll never leave you for good." she reaches out and pulls me into a hug. "I'm gathering a few supplies and I'm gone." "Do you want me to come with you or would this better to do this on your own?" "I need to do this alone." I ruffle her hair and stand up. "Bye kid." "Bye Ryan," and as I'm almost out the door I hear her whisper, "Don't forget me."
