"Let's go Thompson!" Craig yelled as I was currently dead on the floor, questioning my life and human existence right now.
"Craig, this is really unnecessary," Liz breathed, already out of breath as she plopped down on the ground. "Yes it is." He shot her a glare, "Rain get up."
I sighed, forcing myself to get up from the ground. Today Craig decided to ruin my life..again. Since Ryker and Craig got into a fight, Craig is taking it out on me.
"You're going to fight against, Vince." He said, and Vince's eyes widened. "I'm not fighting Rain, Craig." He shook his head.
"Oh yes you are. And if you don't fight properly, you'll be giving me laps." Craig ordered, and Vince shook his head as he stood up. Vince held up his fist; getting into position.
We Both circled the mat, and neither of us would throw punches. "Throw a punch!" Craig ordered, Vince. Vince went to throw one but quickly stopped.
"I can't do this! Rain's like a sister to me!" Vince exclaimed, and I took a moment to catch my breath. "Fine." Craig crossed his built arms, "Charles"
Craig decided that everyone needed better training, so apparently he got a bunch of ex-military and gang members that helped them out with finding me to come out.
Charles came up, and I froze at how built he was. He had tanned skin, dark brown eyes, and soft brown hair with a bandana tied around his forehead.
His bicep is the size of my head...
"Alright. Go!" Craig shouted and Charles took no time before he went to tackle me. I quickly ducked, before pushing myself up and going to send a kick to his jaw but he caught my ankle.
He flipped me around by turning my ankle and he pinned my back up against his chest. I was put in a headlock, and struggled to get out of his grip.
I gripped his arm that was wrapped around my neck and elbowed him in the gut; resulting in him flinching in a bit. I walked backwards; forcing him to be pushed up against the wall only to kick my feet up onto the pole and flip myself around.
I got out of his grip and he sent a punch to my face, but I ducked again. Kicking him in the shin; I made him lose balance and put him in headlock.
I kneed him repeatedly where it counted. He wrapped his hands around my arm, and pulled so I was flipped over his shoulder and punched in the side before being thrown onto the ground.
My head smacked against the mat, and I clutched the side of my stomach where I was punched. "Back off," A voice gritted, and I looked to see Ryker shove Charles back.
Charles gave a look at Craig, and Craig nodded. Charles sent a punch right to Ryker, and Ryker dodged it. They started to get into a fist fight; which exactly what Craig wanted.
I quickly stood up and got in between them when Ryker was about to throw a punch. "Rain, move." He gritted, "Ryk, by fighting with him; you're giving Craig what he wants."
Ryker didn't even look at me, but instead held a glare at Charles. "You fucking touch her again, and you'll be on the ground crying for forgiveness."
"Ryker." I pulled on his hand, but he wouldn't budge. I sighed, and walked back up behind him only to wrap my arms around his neck loosely.
He became less tense, and his gaze snapped to me. He took my hand and led me into the kitchen. Ryker picked me up, and I flinched in pain as he set me down on the counter.
"Whats wrong?" He asked concerned, and I put a hand on my side, "Nothing. I just took a hit to my side stomach." Liz, Alessandra, Juliet, and Celeste all came in.
"Take your shirt off." He said, and I shook my head "No I'm fine." I went to get off the counter when Ryker grabbed me and pushed my shirt up. "Oh my God." He whispered, his eyes widening.
"Whats wrong?" Juliet asked concerned. Ryker blinked slowly but then clutched his fist and clenched his jaw, "I'm going to kill him."
I grabbed his hand quickly, before he had the chance to leave the kitchen. "Ryk, I'm fine." I assured, lacing my fingers with his.
"Rain he punched-" Ryker started, his voice rising with anger. "I can take a punch." I cut him off, "I learned how to deal with it, especially with being with Archer and Zeke."
He tensed up at my words,,"You shouldn't have too." "And you shouldn't beat up every guy that looks, talks, or touches me." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"But you're mine," He whispered, placing his forehead against and my lips tugged up in a small smile.

The doors opened, making my head snap over to see Leah walk in. "Hey," Peter greeted her, as he took her coat for her and hung it up in the closet.
"Hey," Leah mumbled, setting her things down. "How was the doctor's appointment?" Celeste asked curiously. "Oh yeah, how was that?" I asked.
Ryker combed his fingers through my hair as I laid across the couch, with my head in his lap. "Oh it was okay.." Leah sighed.
Leah had a doctor's appointment today to for a check up on the baby and I couldn't believe she was already 16 weeks pregnant with the baby bump noticeable.
"Well it looks like she's doing fine." Leah shrugged, and I shot up along with the rest of the girls. "She?!" I exclaimed, "It's a girl!?"
Leah's lips tugged up into a smile before breaking out into a grin. I hugged her tightly, "Oh My Gosh I'm so happy for you."
Tears pricked her eyes as everyone hugged her tightly. Reece and Ryker both were in complete shock with mixed expressions that I couldn't read. "We're going to be uncles..." They bother whispered under their breath.
Leah bit her lip and became tense as everyone stared at them. "Oh My God, Sis." Reece broke the silence, hugging Leah tightly. I looked over at Ryker, and he clenched his jaw; rubbing it with his index finger and thumb.
He then dropped his hand to his side, pulling Leah into a tight hug, "Congrats Le."
My lips tugged up into a smile which I held back by biting my lip. I knew he was going to crack, because Ryker Anderson couldn't stay mad at people he loved.

"Rain." There was a knock at the door before it opened. "Kinda showering here," I rolled my eyes, making sure the shower curtain was closed.
"Did you ever keep a diary?" Ryker questioned, making my eyes widen in response. I quickly shut off the faucet of the shower, and grabbed a towel to wrap around myself.
Stepping out, Ryker my old diary in his hands with smirk plastered across his face. "Ryker, give it back!" I went to reach for it but he quickly moved his hand away.
He then gave me a pouting face "But Babe, I thought we weren't keeping secrets from each other." "Ryker Xavier!" I warned, shooting him a glare.
He flipped through the pages, "Very interesting freshman Rain." I went to grab it, but he quickly moved and walked out of the bathroom; going into my room.
I quickly walked out after him and tried to get it back as he continually flipped and skimmed over pages intently.
I went to grab the book, but Ryker caught my wrist; clasping his hand around it. His smirk grew wider, and he pulled me closer to him, and I kept a cold glare towards him.
