Chapter 12

Later...

Riker POV

"Ugh, my nose hurts so bad!" I groaned.

Zoey handed me an icepack.

"Thanks..."

I was home from the hospital, and finally in my own bed. Ross was in Rocky's bed. He just wanted to be near me for some reason.

Zoey climbed into my bed beside me. I cuddled into her side.

"When did they say your nose would be better?" Zoey asked.

"A few weeks... I broke it... Well actually, your brother broke it."

"Yeah... Sorry."

"Are they in jail?" Ross asked.

"Yeah," I said, sighing.

I dropped my icepack, but Zoey picked it up for me.

"Oh. Zoey. I have to tell you something," I said, sitting up a little more.

"What?"

"Well... First of all... Thanks for saving me and Ross... And second of all... I arranged for you to go to college. It's only about 20 minutes from here, and you're welcome to stay here too. We have a spare bedroom."

"Riker, you didn't have to do that."

"Yes, I did. You saved my life. Twice. The least I can do is pay for you to go to college, after I got you kicked out."

"You didn't get me kicked out, Riker."

"But I made you leave, and if I hadn't, your brothers wouldn't have told on you. So it is my fault. But it doesn't matter. It's all paid for. It's the least I could do."

"Well... Thanks, Riker."

"You're welcome."

We moved closer, and our lips met.

"Ew! Guys!" Ross whined.

We broke apart, and I felt myself blushing.

"You don't have to be in here, you know," I said, looking at my brother.

"Well it was fine until you started kissing."

Zoey and I laughed.

"Stay with me tonight?" I asked, giving her puppy dog eyes.

"Why should I?"

"Because my nose hurts and I need someone to cuddle with to make me feel better."

Zoey laughed.

"Alright, fine, Riker."

"Yay!"

I kissed her again, and then I heard the door slam, signaling that Ross had left. I couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

"I'm sleepy..." I said, yawning.

"So let's go to sleep."

I reached over and shut the lamp off.

"I love you," I whispered.

Zoey kissed me.

"I love you too, Riker."

The end.

A/N : Tell me if you guys want a sequel or not. My next 2 books should be up this weekend. One is about Riker in a haunted house. And the other is an alternative ending to Framed where Riker gets stuck in a mental hospital. Thanks for the votes and comments! ~Kylie
