My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 44

Derrick and Austin still had a grip on me, and Zeke ordered "James." I watched slowly and James sighed then stepping out and pulling a gun out and slapping a magazine full of bullets.

He raised it up and my eyes widened as Ryker's went dark. James's finger wrapped around the trigger and he took and deep breath.

"WAIT!" I yelled and everyone's attention snapped towards me. "I'll go" I breathed.

James put down the gun so it pointed to the ground, and Zeke nodded, snapping his fingers.

Derrick and Austin let go of me for a moment and I walked up to Ryker. The guys let go of Ryker and stood off to the side.

I placed my hands on his chest then gripping his shirt in my hands and pressing my forehead to his. "Rain don't do this" Ryker whispered.

I looked up to meet his eyes "I'll be okay." "Rain, you know I'd take a bullet for you" Ryker said as he clasped his hands around my wrist.

"I know" I managed to get out "That's why I'm doing this. I don't want you to get killed, because if you were; I don't know what I'd do."

"Rain don't do this" He said and I shook my head "I have to" and my voice was cracking.

Tears started to prick my eyes and guilt took over his expression. A single tear escaped my eye, Ryker wiped it with his thumb then pulling me into his chest and hugging me tightly.

I sniffled into his chest and whispered feeling horrible "Baby, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." I gripped his shirt in my hands and squeezed my eyes shut as a tear escaped and I took in his scent of Cologne and peppermint.

He rested his chin on top if my head and he whispered "I don't want to let go of you." I pulled back and placed my hand on the side of his face where he had stubble growing.

"Shave for me, okay?" I said with a small smile tugging up at the corner of my lips. He nodded and I sighed then pressing my lips to his and giving him a quickly kiss.

I squeezed his hand and walked away and let go of his hand. I wiped the tears and Hayes grabbed me by the wrist then shoving me into the Corvette.

"Get up" A voice ordered and I was then kicked in the side by someone. I opened my eyes and I looked up to see Austin. I sat up and realized I was on the ground, because I must of fell off the bed in my sleep.

He unlocked the chains around my wrist and ankle then dragging me out to where everyone was eating breakfast.

Austin let go of the grip he had on my arm and walked over to get some food. I was then body checked and stumbled off to the side.

"Oops. Sorry" Troian said sarcastically "I didn't mean to hit you, there's just..not enough room for rodents."

I was about to jump her when I was then grabbed and Troian stood there with her arms crossed and smirk plastered across her face.

"Thompson!" Zeke yelled warningly. Benson put me down and I was pushed down into a wooden seat at the table.

The door then opened and Tyson walked in with bruises, cuts, dry blood that stained his skin, a black eye, busted lip, etc.

Clara walked up to him and gave him pain killers. Tyson took them from her and glared at me the whole time. Taylor came over and gave me a bowl of cereal then going over to help Tyson.

James came and sat down in the seat on the side which was close to me, and I picked around the cereal to avoid eye contact.

"Rain, about yesterday..I didn't mean it like that" James said. "Really?!" I snapped, looking at him "Then what did you mean it by?! Because I'm pretty sure that saying "Break up with your boyfriend" means only one thing, it doesn't have double meaning!"

James looked around and everyone was to engrossed in their conversations to notice us. James grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the room.

Once we were out in the hallway I tore my arm out of his grip "Let go of me, Landlock!" "Listen Rain, I saw you and Ryker yesterday; and I know there's no way you guys would break up but-."

I crossed my arms and looked off to the side and avoided looking at James. "RAIN!" He yelled frustrated then unfolding my arms, and my head snapped towards him.

He pinned me back up against the wall and my breath faltered. He looked down at me and was silent for a few moments.

"If you stage a break up with Ryker, Zeke won't want anything to do with you anymore. He'll let you go, and go after another victim" James explained.

"No!" I exclaimed. "Rain, just listen. Please" James cut me off and I pressed my lips in a thin line as I waited for him to go on.

"If you do this, Zeke will realize that it's worthless to keep you, because you have no connection to Ryker" James said.

I pressed my lips in a tight line and crossed my arms. "No" I spoke out "I'm not going to stage a break up, with a boyfriend. So get this through your thick skull, Landlock: I'm. Not. Breaking. Up. With. Him."

"Rain if you would just-" He started but I cut him off by sending a punch right into his jaw. He moved his head to the side once my fist came in contact with his jaw and he held it pain before looking at me.

"That's that last I'm saying it. Now shut the fuck up and leave me alone, Landlock" I gritted then walking away from him.

* * * * * * * * *

I was pinned up against the wall and I gripped Zeke's hands that were wrapped around my neck. I tried to pry his fingers off, but he wouldn't budge.

"What did you fucking say to me?!" He gritted, and I was gasping for air "Don't mess with me, Thompson. I'm this close to killing you."

I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment then opening them and giving Zeke a begging look. He then let go of me and I fell to the ground.

I gasped for air and the circulation started in my lungs again. Zeke's glare bored into me, and I looked up at him with years pricking my eyes.

Derrick and Arthur grabbed me by the arms and pulled me off the ground then dragging me out of the room and into 'my room'.

They shoved me up against the bed and grabbed the chains then locking one around my ankle and another around my wrist. They locked the door and walked out.

Tears started to escape my eyes and I screamed. I stood up and kicked over a chair as I screamed at the top of my lungs out of anger and frustration.

I should have just listened to my dad and came home.

I shouldn't have ever gotten evolved with gangs and the violence.

I shouldn't have gotten evolved with Ryker Anderson...

I gripped my hair in my hands and squeezed my eyes shut. Words couldn't explain how I felt right now, because it was to many emotions combined.

I grabbed the wooden chair and slammed it up against the wall as hard as I could. It broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

I went up to the door and yanked on the lock, hoping that the door would open. "LET ME GO!" I screamed repeatedly with agony filling in my tone.

I lost it...I was going insane, I collapsed under pressure, hatred, and constant worry because I had no control over anything. It seemed like I was a puppet and someone had me on strings.

Once there was no answer, I sat down on the ground and pulled me knees up to my chest and sobbed my eyes out. "Please..." I whispered to myself.

I woke up to the feeling of something flooding around me. I quickly sat up and saw water seeping through the pipes.
