Chapter 2
Ryder finally woke up. Jason had set her foot while she was unconscious and of course, Ryder tried to get up. She yelped in pain and fell to the ground. She mumbled a few cuss words and pulled herself up on the bed. They must've heard her fall, because someone knocked on the door. Piper walked in just as Ryder rose up off the floor. She walked over to her and helped her up.
"Good morning!" Piper said. "Well, we're stuck in the middle of Central Park because the Engine Room is still flooded. We've all tried to think of places to stay, but… so, got any ideas?"
She smiled. "Yes, I know just the place."
"YES!" Piper yelled. She ran to the door, knocking Ryder off the bed and onto the floor. She swung the door open. "YOU GUYS, SHE KNOWS WHERE WE CAN STAY!"
There were footsteps running down the hall to the room. Ryder was getting on the bed, her arms pushing her up, when they all busted through the doors and scared her so she fell into the floor again. She rolled under the bed and covered her head.
"Where'd she go?" she heard Leo ask. He got on his knees and looked under the bed. "What are you doing?"
"Tell her to stop knocking me off the bed because I keep hitting my foot!" Ryder replied.
"Omigosh, I'm so sorry!" Piper said.
Ryder rolled out from under her bed, hair all in her face. She blew it out of her face with a huff. Piper snickered which cause Ryder to pinch her in her leg. Piper jumped back.
"OWWWW!" she yelled.
Leo helped Ryder up and on one foot, Ryder hopped to the bed. They all crowded around her.
"So, where are we going to stay?" Hazel asked her.
"My house in Alabama has room for all of us. I have stuff to fix the boat there."
"Awesome!"
High fives went around. No one knew that she had been hiding something from them that even the files didn't tell. She thought, why does there have to be so many secrets in my life?
