Hey guys! :) Sorry for the longgggg wait. It's been like over a month :( I didn't really know how to write this chapter to be honest lol. But here it is. Sorry if it's kinda horrible... I don't own anything you recognize, Enjoy! :D
Last Time:
"And that's what happened and please don't tell Rocky." I beg. Rydel sighs.
"You guys really screwed up." Is all she says before walking back into the room. I sigh. I really messed this up...
~Riker POV~
I walk back into the hospital room. I see Ratliff look away when he sees me, then a confused Rocky standing next to him. I walk over to them. "Riker, what did Ratliff do?" Rocky asks me.
I look over at Ratliff. He looks at me before looking away. "I-I'll be right back." Ratliff mutters before exiting the room.
Thanks, Ratliff Leaving me here to face him by myself... "Um.. What do you mean?" I ask. Ugh, Riker. You know exactly what he means...
"He wouldn't look at me and he barely talked to me, then he startd sobbing. And I didn't know what to do." Rocky says sliding down against the wall before hitting the floor. He wraps his arms around his knees and places his head in between his knees. Riker feels as guilty as ever. Whatever he was feeling about Ratliff just a few minutes ago, gone. Out the window. He wanted to go back in time to fix everything. But... he knew it wasn't possible. What was in the past, was done. He sits next to Rocky, who was starting to cry. He rubs him back comfortingly. Once Rocky felt Riker next to him, he started sobbing even harder.
Riker looked at his little brother, who couldn't stop crying. It's all my fault. Riker sighs. "Rocky?" He says. I have to tell him... Rocky looks up at him with his tear-streaked face. "It was all my fault. None of it was Ratliff's fault. He didn't want to, but... It's my fault." I say.
"R-Rike, what are you talking about?" He asks.
"Ratliff and I were talking and..." I stop. Do I really wanna do this? I sigh. I have to. "I told him the truth. You know, about him hurting you." I start. I see Rocky nod slowly, wanting me to continue. "And he became a little... depressed because he felt really bad about getting mad at you." Well, better get him mad at me, not Ratliff. "And I was comforting him. And I got caught up in the moment – not that there was a moment – and I kissed him." I say. Rocky looks at me, wide eyed.
"Y-You-" He stutters.
"Yes, but it was all my fault. Ratliff pulled away. Don't blame him for anything." I say. Well, there goes my best friend. I think to myself sadly.
"You kissed him again!" Rocky exclaims. Oh, right. It's happened before...
"Rocky, I'm sor-"
"No! You were sorry the first time you kissed him. You said it'd never happen again! And look where we are now." Rocky says losing his temper. I don't blame him. He's been calm dealing with all his stress. Of course he'd snap at some point, no matter how loving he was.
~No One POV~
Suddenly, Ratliff walks in."Riker! You told him!? We said we'd keep it a secret. Never to speak of it again!" Ratliff exclaims.
"Me? You just left me! You could've helped me take care of this situation instead of leaving me here!" Riker exclaims.
Riker and Ratliff kept arguing getting louder and louder each time. Rocky looked at his lover and his best friend. Just a few hours ago, the three of them were the best of friends. Now, they were all against each other in some way. Rocky just sits there listening to Riker and Ratliff's argument. He felt like a little kid, watching his parents fight. After a minute, he couldn't handle it anymore, and walked out of the room. Riker and Ratliff notice his walk out of the room and instantly stop talking.
They look at each other in silence for a few seconds before Rydel comes into the room. "Hey, I just told mom and dad what happened, and the nurse said that visiting hours are over." Rydel says. Riker and Ratliff nod. Riker walks out the door seeing Ross and Rocky. Rocky gives Riker a death glare, making Riker feel worse than ever.
Ratliff takes one last look at his dad before leaving."I'm sorry, dad. I love you." He says. He plants a kiss in his dad's forhead before walking out the door, being comforted by Ross and Rydel. Riker just stays quiet as he drives everyone back to the hotel.
In Rocky's and Ratliff's room, there were no words exchanged. Rocky just crawls into bed. "Goodnight." Ratliff whispers to him.
"Night." Rocky says with no emotion. Ratliff sighs and crawls into his own bed.
Back at the hospital, Ratliff's dad had come up with a plan. He had known the Lynch's for a long time now, and knows them incredibly well. He knew he had to wait for the right moment, which was bound to happen anytime soon, in order to activate his plan. He gets off his bed.
Yes, Rocky had hit him. Yes, it did hurt. But... No, he didn't have a factured skull. Nor was he in any sort of coma. He grins evily. Oh, the things people do for money.
Sorry for the crappy chapter... It's 10:30 at night here, and it really freaked me out writing this chapter. Just a tip, don't read/write scary/intense scenes late a night... haha... Anyway, I'll try to make the next one better :) And since I've been reading lots of fanfictions lately to get my ideas flowing again, I thought of something for this story. :) You guys'll hate me for it... but then love me again? I don't even know haha... :)
