My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 22

"Why"? I cried, and I wiped tears out of my eyes.

I'm being ridiculous! Ryker and I aren't even together!

"Rain-" Liz sighed and rubbed circles on my back. I don't even know why I was crying!

"I can't believe this" I said and wiped a tear "I'm crying over a guy".

Liz gave a small sympathetic smile "Rain...you know why..."

I gave a confused look and shook my head "No, I don't".

She sighed and ran a hand threw her hair. It was 2 a.m. and Liz came over and she's just going to spend the night. For the past hour I've been crying....over Ryker...and I have no idea.

The bitch Chloe and him re-appeared in my mind, and I began to cry again, and Liz pulled me into a hug.

I thought about Ryker, and his face appeared in my mind. He had the egotistical cocky Bad Boy smirk, but it soon faded and turned into a smile which I loved, and his bright blue eyes shined.

Ryker kept appearing in my mind, and my heart smashed into my rib-cage.

"I'm going to call Leah" Liz said and she took her phone out and called Leah.

"Hey, can we talk?" Liz said as she bit her lip and paced across my room then saying "Okay, make sure you're not by anyone".

Liz turned to me and said "I'm going to talk to Leah, I'll be right back" then walking out of my room.

I thought about the other night, when Ryker and I went to the movies and we laughed and talked as the movies played.

I smiled at the thought, and stood up and walked over to my bathroom. I turned on the lights and turned on the sink. The cold water ran and I cupped my hands and splashed water up to my face and turned off the faucet. Then drying my hands.

I set me hands on the counter and looked at myself in the mirror, I had bags under my eyes, my hair was in a messy bun, and I was in a running shorts with a hoodie on. I was a mess.

My blue eyes looked clear and as if you could see right threw them.

I stared at my reflection and her a faint voice of Liz out in the hallway as she was talking to Leah. I closed my eyes and realized something.

Something I denied over a thousand times.

I realized why I was jealous of the girls at gym hitting on Ryker Or how Chloe has him and I don't.

I realized why I always seemed to smile or laugh when I was around him.

I realized why I was so worried when he ran off to the woods, and everyone told me he'd be fine but I was still worried.

I realized why I always felt so safe in his arms.

I realized why I always comfortable around him, and he made me forget I was the sheriffs daughter or some model.

I realized why I could stare at his smile or eyes all day, and not get bored or look away.

I like Ryker Anderson.

I bit my lip and closed my eyes shut as a tear traveled down my cheek.

This can't be happening! We won't ever be together! It's a heartbreak waiting to happen!

Liz walked in and asked "You okay"?

I looked at her and my heart sank and felt like it has been ripped out and stomped on.

"I like him, I like him Liz" I cried "And Chloe has him"!

It wasn't just Chloe. Almost every girl with a 'hot body' and pretty face that will sleep with him, has him!

Liz pulled me into a hug and whispered "I'm glad you finally realized it".

"Where the hell is Rain"!? I heard Craig yell, as I walked upstairs and I took a deep breath.

It was Friday and we have to catch some train that leads up to the mountains because there's a cathedral church there with 'valuables' we need, and we're camping up there apparently.

Also yesterday apparently a gang came in from Texas, and they want us dead.

"I'm here" I said as I walked threw the door and everyone looked at me.

"Where the hell have you been?! School ended 6 hours ago for you"! Craig yelled, and Leah took Craig's hand and said "Hey, let the girl be".

Craig looked back at me and sighed then asking "Fine. Where were you"?

"The library" I lied, and he snapped "You were at the library for 6 hours!? I don't think so Missy"!

"Fine! I was fucking getting hit by my dad, happy"?! I yelled and dropped my backpack.

Everyone was silent and Liz and Leah came up to me and searched for any marks "Are you okay"? they asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I muttered and took a step back. My dad didn't actually hit me, I just didn't want to face Ryker, and if I said anything besides that; they wouldn't have believed me.

Chloe gave a concerned look, and I said "I'm going to get changed" then walking into 'Liz's room', as Leah and Liz followed.

I slipped off my converses and took my knee-high socks off and then went to my uniform skirt and unbuttoned it.

I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans, and I unbuttoned my white uniform blouse and took it off and threw it to the side. I pulled on a plain black t-shirt.

I slipped my feet into my black combat boots, and the door opened and Chloe came in.

"Hey" She smiled slightly.

This Bitch....

"Um...Rain...so I noticed...that there seems to be a bit of tension between us..." She trailed off.

"Noooo, realllyy"? I asked sarcastically as I tied my combat boots.

"Rain Eliza!" Leah hissed and I rolled my eyes.

"I was just wondering, what I did to make you hate me so much...."? She asked.

I laughed without any humor in my laugh and said "Well wouldn't you like to know".

She ran a hand threw her blond hair and bit her lip. She was dressed in black leggings, black tight casual dress, black heeled-boots, and black coat with fo-fur on the hood.

Bit fancy for breaking into a old abandoned church at midnight in the pitch black, if you ask me....

I pulled on my black trench coat and tied the belt and threw a black beanie that hung off the back of my head.

"Sorry Chloe, Rain's a bit on edge right now" Liz apologized and sent me a warning look.

I rolled my eyes and walked out into the main room and Leah, Liz, and Chloe all also came out.

Craig and Vince were going over last minute things as the guys all sat around, and Chloe went over to Ryker.

"You alright, babe"? He asked her and she nodded slightly then whispered something in his ear and looked at me with a glare.

I looked away and down at the ground and blinked a few times slowly and parted my lips. Liz came up and whispered "It'll be okay".

"Rain!" A voice cheered and I turned around to see Melanie, and she ran up and hugged me.

I picked her up, and hugged her "Hey Mel".

She giggled "Guess what"!? Her eyes lit up.

"What"? I asked with enthusiasm.

"I'm coming with you!" She chirped and I chuckled and gave her a high-five.

I loved Melanie, she was so cute and sweet.

"Melanie" Ryker called as him and Chloe walked over and my whole body tensed up.

"Hey Melanie" Chloe smiled, and Melanie buried her head into the crook of my neck, and held onto my tightly, as if her life depended on it.

I gave a confused look, as to why Melanie seemed scared of Chloe. Ryker went to grab her from me, but Melanie clung onto me, and told Ryker "No".

Ryker gave an annoyed look "Melanie Grace! Cooperate!"

"I want to stay with Rain" She pleaded, and Ryker clenched his jaw. Chloe grabbed his hand and said "Babe, just let her. I'm sure Rain, is perfectly capable of watching after Melanie".

Ryker muttered "Fine" then walking away with Chloe.

Melanie leaned back, so I could look her. I tucked a piece of her caramel brown hair behind her ear and asked "What's wrong"?

"I don't like Chloe" Melanie frowned "She's mean, and always takes my brother away".

I blinked slowly a few times and then looked over to see Ryker and Chloe talking by his truck as the guys went threw a run-down of what we're going to do tonight.

Liz and Leah came over and asked "How you holding up"?

"I'm not" I said and fixed Melanie on my hip.

"Let's load up"! Craig yelled, and we all gathered around him. We were outside and it was pretty dark.

"Alright, we're taking to trucks! Me, Neil, Reece, Vince, Faith, Melanie with me. Liz, Leah, Peter, Will, Ryker, Rain, Chloe with Peter!"

I bit my lip and Melanie hugged me then running off to Faith, and I bit my lip and walked over to Peter's truck.

Peter got in the drivers side, Will got in the passenger seat, Leah got in the seat between them. Liz and I fought about who was going in the middle.

"Go! You're skinnier!" She exclaimed and I huffed then climbing in and sitting next to Ryker, as Liz sat on my other side in the back-seat. Chloe climbed in and lapped with Ryker.

I looked at Liz, and she gave me a sympathetic look. Peter drove away and I impatiently tapped my fingers on my knee, and bit my lip.

I took my phone out and Ryker whispered in my ear "Nice background" then I raised an eyebrow and unlocked my phone and saw my lock-screen was a picture of Ryker that I took a while ago, and caught him off-guard. I loved the picture, he was actually smiling and his face was close to the camera.

I smiled down at it and looked up at Ryker and rolled my eyes "I can't believe you set that as my background".

"It made you smile, didn't it"? He asked raising an eyebrow and smirked and I bit my lip and smiled. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered "And I'll do anything to make you smile".

He leaned back and turned to Chloe, and I looked at Liz and she grinned and mouthed 'EEKKKKK'.

We came to the moving train that started to take off the rail-road tracks slowly. The guys all hopped on quickly and the train started to sped up.

Leah, Liz, Melanie, Faith all got on. Leaving Ryker, Chloe, and I.

"Chloe, come here" Ryker instructed and he picked her up and gave her push up and the guys grabbed her hands.

Ryker quickly got on and put his hand out to me, and the train started to sped up.

"Rain! Grab my hand"! Ryker yelled, and I went to grab his hand but the train started to move away.

I ran after and threw a field of grass and everyone yelled after me, I saw Ryker run threw the train and I stopped for a second and thought.

I watched as the train rushed and rushed away, as all the carriers went away in a blink of an eye. The train was long, and Ryker ran threw it.

I put my hand out slowly, and went to grab a border of a ledge but I couldn't grab it because it moved to fast.

"Rain!" Voices yelled and it was from a far a distance.

"Rain!" Ryker's voice yelled, and I looked to see him at one of the barriers "Go to the end of the train"! He yelled.

I ran to the end and threw the field of grass, and I ran as fast as I could.

I waited for the end to reach me, and there was a huge ditch between me and where the train was.
