-why is everything so complicated?-

Lili's POV

"No...no...no!" I cried. "Don't leave me!"

"Come back..." I whisper, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"It's her." A man's voice says.

Before I could react, I felt something hit the back of my head and everything went black.

I woke up to a beeping sound and a weight on my hand.

I slowly flutter my eyes open and take in my surroundings.

Eww, this is one ugly room.

I look around until my eyes lay on Ryder, holding my hand and sleeping in his arms which are on the bedside.

Tingles erupt in my stomach.

Aww, he's so cute.

I run my hand through his soft hair.

I'm so jealous!

He stirrs in his sleep making me pull back my hand and pretend I'm asleep.

Why? I don't know.

His fingers fiddle with mine and I couldn't help but feel the sadness from him.

He takes a lock of my hair and plays with it.

"Wake up. Please." He whispers.

I turn around to face him.

A look of surprise washes over his face.

"Hi." I say, softly, smiling.

He smiles and puts his palm in my cheek making me lean into it.

"Hey. Let me go get the doctor." He says and I nod.

He pulls back his hand making me frown at the loss of warmth.

He walks out the door to call the doctor and comes back with a man who looked to be in his late thirties who I suppose is the doctor.

When there were no people walking in and out of this room anymore, I was finally able to catch my breath.

Sam told me that no one died but there were a few injured people.

Kyle and Sam luckily had left a little earlier to get some 'air' and when they came back, it was havoc.

Luckily, no one died but there were a few injured badly.

Thank God, none of my family members or friends were hurt.

They said they couldn't find out who attacked everyone but they knew it was one of the cruel gangs.

Probably that stupid Cruising Skulls ot whatever their name is.

The toilet door opens revealing Ryder in a towel with water dripping off his body and hair.

The towel is invented for a reason you know.

I just sat there, staring at him in surprise.

I tried as hard as possible not to check him out but then, I thought, who cares?

The water dripping off his abs made me want to li-

"How are you feeling?" He says, cutting off my thoughts and going through his bag which I just realised was there.
