Hey It's me. :) I don't own anything, ENJOY!
The next day
~Ratliff POV~
I wake up having an easier time breathing. I smile. Then I see Rocky sleeping in my arms. I smiles even more. He moves a little before waking up. "Hey Ratliff." He says.
"Hey Rocky." I reply. The nurse comes in.
"Hello you two." She says smiling. "Ratliff, how are you feeling?" She asks.
"I'm great." I reply.
She smiles. "That's great. Looks like you're recovering really fast, usually it takes weeks. Do you think you're ready to breathe without the machine?" She asks. I do feel like I can, but what if I can't. I can't lose Rocky.
"I-I'll try." I reply. She smiles.
"Don't worry. The machine will stop slowly so you'll have time to adjust slowly." She says. I nod. She walks up to the machine and slowly turns it off. Each time I take a breath, the machine helps me less.
Rocky holds my hand. I smile. Eventually, the machine stops completely and I'm breathing on my own! Rocky hugs me and I hug back. The hug eventually turns into a kiss.
The nurse smiles before sneaking out so that she doesn't interrupt us. We pull away a little later. There was a note on the nightstand next to my bed.
You are free to go now. Just take it easy. By the way, you guys look great together. Hope your relationship keeps going strong. :) ~Nurse
We both smile. I get up and change into non-hospital clothes. In ten minutes, Rocky and I are back at the hotel. We stand outside Riker, Ross, and Ryland's room. Rydel wasn't in her room so we know she's in there.
"Ready?" He asks.
"Yep." I reply.
We slowly turn the doorknob then jump into the room. "Hey guys!" We yell.
Since no one was expecting us, Riker and Ross suddenly turn around, Rydel lets out a little shriek, and Ryland falls off the bed. We all laugh.
"You guys are back early." Riker says.
I pretend to be offended. "You don't want us back? Maybe we should just go back to the hospital." I joke.
"That's not what I meant." He says.
"I know." I reply smiling.
I look at Ryland still on the floor. "Ryland? Are you okay?" I asked worried. If we got him hurt, Riker would kill me.
"I'm fine. The floor is just so comfy." He replies. We all laugh.
~Rydel POV~
I get a text from Reilly.
From: Reilly – Hey! Meet me where we first met in fifteen minutes. We can hang out today.
To: Reilly – Okay. See ya there. :)
From: Reilly – See you soon. x
I smile. "Who you texting, Ry?" Rocky asks me.
"Just someone." I reply.
"Come on, you can tell me." He says nudging me.
"It's this guy I met named Reilly." I reply realizing only Riker knows him. "We're gonna go hang out so, see you guys later." I say.
"No. You're not going anywhere with him." Riker says.
"Yes, I am." I reply walking out the door. I go to the balcony ten minutes early. I look around to see if maybe he'll be here early when I finally see him... kissing someone else! I get tears in my eyes. He sees me, pulls away, and comes up to me.
"Ry, it's not what it looks like." He says.
"That's what they all say." I mutter. I run back to Riker, Ross, and Ryland's room.
~Riker POV~
I watch Rydel walk out. Why can't she believe me?
"We're gonna go hang out for a little." Ratliff says. He and Rocky go back to their room.
"We're gonna go get food." Ross says speaking for him and Ryland.
"We just had breakfast." I say.
"Well, we still hungry." They reply. They walk out, leaving me here alone, but not for long. A second after Ross and Ryland leave, Rydel comes back, tears in her eyes. She stands at the doorway.
"Riker, I'm sorry I didn't believe you and you were right and..." She trails off.
I hold out my hands. "Come here." I say. She walks over to me and comes into my arms. She wraps her legs around my waist and cries into my shoulder. I pat her back.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you." She repeats.
"It's fine." I say. After a little bit, she lets go of me.
"Thanks Riker." She says.
"No problem." I say. We turn on the TV and just relax.
~Rocky POV~
We lay on out beds not knowing what to do. "What do you wanna do?" He asks.
I smirk. "Let's go skydiving then run a marathon then-" I can't finish cuz I'm laughing too hard.
"Totally, let's go." He jokes.
"Wanna just walk around the city for the hundredth time since we got here?" I ask.
"Sure." He replies. We get up and head outside.
It was a sunny day. We walked around for a little when I thought of something. "Ratliff?"
"Yeah?"
"Should we tell everyone about us? I just realized that we never did." I say.
"Hm.. Sure. Why not?" He says. I smile. I really hope everyone is fine with us being together.
There's chapter 14! :) Anyone have a plot I could use? Cuz I really don't wanna end this now and I'm running out of ideas already...
