I woke up to an annoying beeping sound, and Ryker reached over and shut off his alarm on his phone.
He rubbed his eyes and shifted in his spot "Come on" He yawned "Get up, you have school".
I buried my face into his chest, and mumbled "I'll just skip today". Ryker rolled his eyes at me "No. You've already missed way to much".
"I hate High School" I muttered and he chuckled, then kissing my forehead "You'll be out in a month".
I sighed, and my door opened "Rain, you-" Ryan's voice then stopped and he froze.
I rolled my eyes and turned on my side to face him. "You two slept in the same bed"?! He exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Yeah...we have a million times.." I trailed off, and Ryan yelled "Rain! You're 18 and not married"!
I rolled my eyes again, and Ryker draped his arm over my waist "Calm. We haven't done anything".
Ryan sent him a glare "Watch what you do with my little sister, and if you break her; I'll break you".
"Fine" Ryker shrugged, and I pointed to the door "Ryan. Out. Now".
He glared at Ryker one more time, then walking out. I stood up and ran a hand through my hair and headed to the bathroom to get ready.
* * * * * * *
"You're going to be late" Ryker whispered breathlessly, and I whispered back "I don't care".
I pressed my lips back to Ryker's, and placed my hands flat on his chest. We may or may not have been in a make out session for the past 5 minutes on the side of Ryker's truck, from when he came to drop me off.
"Rain". "You're". "Stalling". Ryker said between kissing, and he unwrapped his arms from my waist, then grabbing my wrist in his hands and pulled back.
I frowned, and he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear "I'll see you later, okay? You have to get to class.."
I sent him a glare in response. He was right though, I was trying to stall and avoid going to class.
He kissed my forehead and chuckled at me being annoyed "Bye Rain", then starting to walk away.
"Ryk" I spoke up, and grabbed his hand. He turned around to face me and I bit my lip "One more kiss"?
His lips tugged up into a smirk as he walked back over to me, and pressed lips softly to mine and I smiled against his lips.
I heard the bell go off, and Ryker pulled back again and teased "Bye Rain".
I huffed then grabbing my backpack and slinging it over my shoulder and walking away.

I was sitting in Mrs. Doyle's classroom and Blake kept staring at me throughout the whole class.
I looked back a bit and saw Blake's eyes still fixated on me and boring into my back. I turned back around to face the board as Mrs. Doyle was talking about something.
Then I flicked my pencil up and down on my notebook, and stared at the clock.
It was only 3rd period and I was already so done with school today. My phone buzzed, and I looked down to see it was Neil.
Neil: Be ready.
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, and whispered to myself "Be ready"?
Me: Huh?
Then the door opened, and I saw Vince and Ryker walk in. All the girls straightened up and went into flirting mode.
Vince pointed at me and snapped his fingers "You. Let's go".
Everyone looked at me, and Ryker whispered something to Mrs. Doyle. Her eyes then widened, and she nodded "Rain. Pack up your things, you're excused".
I quickly shut my books and picked them up, then walking up to the front of the class.
Ryker grabbed my hand and said "Thanks, Mrs. Doyle". She nodded, and they pulled me out of the classroom.
Then rushing down the hall "Go to your locker and put your stuff away" Vince said "I'm going to go sign you out" then jogging away.
"Ryk? What's going on"? I asked nervously, as I bit my lip.
"I'll explain later, but we have to go" He said and I unlocked my locker then putting all my things in there.
"You need your passport" Ryker said, and my eyes widened "What?! Why do I need my passport"?!
We pulled up to my house, and Ryker and Vince got put of the car then heading up to my house.
I blinked slowly a few times, then getting out and running up with them. I went up the spiral staircase, and ran to my room.
Vince and Ryker were searching through my bedroom, and I asked "Would someone just tell me what's going on"?!
"Found it"! Vince called, and pulled out a file full of all my contact information that had my passport in it.
Ryker sighed as he came up to me "Rhett framed us for a faulty drug deal from some of the top gangs I'm the U.S., and we have to go out of country or they'll block us and do-God-knows-what."
My eyes grew wide to the point where I thought they'd pop out of their sockets "What?! I can't leave! I have my brothers and-"
"Rain" Ryker stopped me and pulled me into a hug "We have to go, and we're not leaving you behind".
Tears pricked my eyes, and Ryker rested his chin on top of my head. Vince was grabbing a bunch of clothes and stuffing them into a bag for me, and I fought against the tears in my eyes.
"I'll be in the car" Vince said, then grabbing the bag he stuffed everything in and walking out of my room.
I pulled back, and Ryker wiped the tears that escaped my eyes. "Don't cry, princess. I hate seeing you cry".
I bit my lip, and he kissed my forehead "It'll be okay".
* * * * * * *
"Alright, you get Melanie and Faith" Ryker instructed as we came up to there schools to pull them out.
We had to be at the airport by 12:30 and it was already 11:34 and the airport is still 30 minutes away.
I sprinted down the halls that were filled with little kids being guided by their teachers, as they were constantly being "Hushed".
I ran to Melanie's classroom, and opened the door as all the kids looked at me.
"Um..May I please pull Melanie out? It's It's a family emergency" I said to the teacher who looked at me like I had 2 heads.
She turned to Melanie and asked "Melanie, do you know her"?
Melanie nodded and smiled at me "Hi Rain".
The teacher waved me over to her desk and asked "Name"?
"Rain Th-Anderson" I stated as I quickly remembered that they only let family take out kids.
She gave me a suspicious look "How are you related to her"?
I Don't have time for this lady!
"I'm...Ryker's wife..." I trailed off and hope she bought it. "Really? Because you're in a High School uniform..and looked affuly young".
"That's because I married young" I said trying not to snap at her and her annoying accusations.
She sighed "Alright Melanie, pack your things and you may go".
Melanie grabbed her folder and walked out of class, and turned around to me as she gave a confused look "Why are you here, Rain"?
"I'll explain later, Kiddo" I said and picked her up "But now we have to go get Faith".
I then began to run to the other building which was on the other side of the parking lot, and a bunch of High Schoolers looked at me weirdly.
