Chapter 53- "Take me back? Always, princess."
There was a knock at my bedroom door before it opened up to Jax. "Hey sis." He smiled, walking in. "Hey." I offered a small smile.
It was 2 p.m. and I've only gotten out of bed to brush my teeth, hair, and eat. Last night was a nightmare; Leah was sobbing her eyes out, Craig was beaten the shit out of, Liz is still mad at me, and Ryker wasn't answering anyone's phone call or text.
I wonder what being a normal teenager feels like...
"Well I know you're going to prom tonight..and there's going to be peer-pressure.." He trailed off.
"Jax." I said, sitting up as I knew where this was going. "And I don't want you making a little mistake, that changes your whole world." Jax sighed.
"Jax." I groaned, rubbing my temples and burring my face in my hands. "I'm serious Rain, you could end up with an STD or pregnant..and you haven't had sex since you were with Tyson.." He trailed off.
I slowly started to look up from my hands and at Jax. His eyes then went wide "You did not!?"
"Jax it was in Italy and we were together for months.." I shrugged. Jax ran his hands through his hair, "Tell me you used protection! Please tell me you used protection!"
"Jax!" I yelled, embarrassed as ever. "Oh my God, Rain." He muttered, "You could be pregnant."
"We used a condom, alright!" I blurted out, and he sighed in relief, "Oh thank God." My face had to be bright red by now red by now and I pointed at the door "Out."
"I meant it Rain. Please be safe." He narrowed his eyes at me. "JAX!" I yelled, and he sighed before walking out. I plopped back down onto my bed, staring up at the ceiling.

"Rain sit still." Ally said, and I sighed in response. My bedroom door opened and I turned my head quickly to see who it was.
"Ow!" I yelled, quickly putting a hand up to my neck because the curling iron Ally was using, just burnt my neck. "Told you not to move." Alessandra pointed out.
I rolled my eyes, and stood up to walk over to Liz. "Hey." I said and she continued to give me the silent treatment. "Liz..come on, you're one of my best friends; you can't ignore me forever." I said, but no response.
"Why are you even mad?" I asked. "Why am I mad?" She questioned, her head snapping to mine, "Because you don't see what you're doing to yourself Rain! You're making these dumb decisions that are hurting you."
Standing up straight, I pressed my lips in a tight line. "When are you just going to open your eyes and see that you love him; and there's no denying that." She continued, "You trusted your dad again and he beat you to the point where you couldn't walk, and you know who was always there?"
She paused, crossing her arms over her chest "Ryker. Ryker was there. So if you can trust your dad again, trust Ryker again." Swallowing a lump in my throat "You still mad at me?"
She shook her head, giving a small smile "No. How could I ever stay mad at you." She pulled me into a tight hug.
"Ok, you have a prom to get ready for." Liz grinned, pulling back from me "And I was thinking something like a smoky eye."

Clipping the earings in my ears the doorbell went off and my brothers yelled my name from downstairs. I quickly headed out of room and down the grand staircase.
"Hey." Hudson smiled at me, and I bit my lip "Hey." Walking up to him, he pecked my cheek and handed me a red corsage. "Aww, thanks." I smiled, as he slipped it onto my wrist.
"You look really pretty." He said, "Red is a really good color on you." "Thanks." I smiled, and a voice cleared.
I looked back to see Ryker and I stuttered "W-What are you doing here?" "Just came by to see, like the rest of the gang." He clenched his jaw.
"Uh..Hudson, I'll be right back and then we can take pictures." I said, and he nodded. I grabbed Ryker's hand and led him out to the library room.
"You really do look beautiful." He whispered. "Don't even try. Why haven't you been answering anyone?" I asked.
"Because I didn't want to have to deal with anyone." Ryker clenched his jaw. "See! This what I mean! I can't trust you, because you go and pull stuff like this!" I exclaimed.
"Rain, my sister is 4 months pregnant with her baby daddy as Craig!" He shouted. "Ok, mistakes happen! But maybe you should show some support, and be glad its not you in that situation!"
"I rather it be us in that situation, because maybe we'd actually talk to each other without yelling and fighting!" Ryker yelled.
"You're the one fighting!" I yelled, "You're the one causing all this! Because if you didn't lie, maybe we'd actually still be together!"
"Stop putting this all on me! You're not innocent either, Rain! Remember kissing and almost having sex with James while we were still together, because I still do! And not telling me my sister was pregnant, or that you were going to have coffee with my mom!" He yelled, his voice raising.
"I'm done! I'm not dealing with this anymore, Get what's yours and leave!" I yelled, knowing I had some of Ryker's stuff up in my room.
Ryker then picked me up and carried me over to the other-side of the room. "You." He whispered, "You are mine."
Blush crept onto my cheeks and my heart fluttered. Ryker kept me pinned up against the wall, and he started to lean in closer to my lips.
"Rain." A voice approached, and Ryker quickly moved away from me.
My dad came in and said "Pictures." "Alright, I'll be right out in sec." I said.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"So let me hoollddd both your hands in the hooolleess of your sweater!" We all sang, and even though it was a fake fan song I still loved it.
Prom was going good so far, after pictures we all went out for dinner and arrived at school. Hudson was really sweet, and the dates of the football players were too.
It was nice to actually party like a normal teenager though, because since I've been caught up in all this gang stuff; I never was a normal High Schooler at football games getting drunk, but instead I was drag racing, or escaping from other gangs.
Hudson twirled me and I laughed as he brought me back to him. "I'm going to get us something to drink, I'll be right back." He said, once the song ended.
I nodded, and he walked over to the drink and food table. I walked over to the table where all our stuff was, and searched for my phone. I looked to see a bunch of text messages from everyone asking me how it was going.
"Anyone I know?" A voice asked, making me whirl around to see Blake, and his flickered to my phone "So I want the deets on the gang."
I put my phone away and glared at him. "I heard you met my brother and step sister. Sorry about Troian; she's a real bitch." Blake admitted.
Furrowing my eyebrows together, I didn't understand why he wasn't threatening me or fighting with me. "You back with Anderson?" He asked, shoving his hands in his front pockets.
Shaking my head, I pursed my lips "No." "Thats a shame, you guys really were meant for each other." Blake shrugged. "You hate Ryker though?" I questioned, considering they absolutely beat the shit out of each other anytime they were around each other.
"Yeah, but I hate my brother even more and what he did was NOT right at all. There was no need, for doing that to you; because knowing that gang, it had to be brutal. I give you props Rain, really." He nodded at me, "Well have a goodnight, Rain."
He started to walk off, but I stopped him "Blake, wait." He turned around to look at me and I asked "Are you still part of the Dark moon gang?"
He rubbed his clenched jaw "Yeah, but I'm quitting. So you won't have to worry about me." I bit my lip, nodding slightly "Good choice."
"See you Thompson." He said, putting a fist up. "Bye Monroe." I chuckled, fist bumping him and he walked over to his date.
"Hey." Hudson's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "You good?" I nodded, taking the plastic cup of fruit punch from him, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Think you're going to win Prom King?" I asked. "Got this in the bag." He smirked. "Who do you thinks going go to win Queen?" I asked, taking a sip of the drink.
"You." He said nonchalantly, with a shrug. "I'm not even on the ballad, I can't win." I said, and he leaned in closer to me "Well you should, because you're the most beautiful girl here."
Hudson then started to lean in slowly, I felt his mint breath on my lips and inhaled his scent of cologne. His arm wrapped around my waist, and I didn't know what to do.
"Reveal of Dalton's High School Annual Prom King and Queen!" The speakers blew, making Hudson and I pull back from each other.
"And this years, Prom King is Hudson Kai!" Principal Adams said, reading off an envelope. Hudson smirked as everyone looked back at him. He handed me his drink, and walked up to the stage.
They set a crown on top of his head as everyone cheered and clapped. "Alright, Alright." Principal Adams called over everyone, "This years Prom Queen..."
All the girls were in hope of their name being called and getting that crown with a dance of the Hudson Kai. I honestly didn't want it, because it draws all attention to you and I already have enough on me.
"Karlee Manson." Principal Adams said into the microphone, and everyone made a path for Karlee. I didn't know her very well, but she seemed nice and was head cheerleader.
Clapping and cheers erupted again as they placed the tiara on her head. Hudson took Karlee's hand to lead her out to the middle of the floor for a slow dance. He sent me a wink, and I sent one back.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Come on, Rain." Hudson pushed, with his lips against my neck. "Hudson, stop." I said, but he didn't listen.
I pushed him off me, "No means no." "Rain I asked you because I know you've put out before." He rolled his eyes at me.
"You what?!" I choked. Attention now was being drawn towards us. "I'm a football player, I have to sleep with someone on Prom night." He gritted in a whisper
He pushed me back up against the wall, I tried phshing him off me. He grabbed my ass, and I slapped him across the face in reflex.
"Hey!" A voice yelled, and Blake with his date came up "Hudson let her go." "And what makes you think, you get a say?" Hudson gritted.
"Because I'm captain, and what I say goes." Blake gritted, "And Rain doesn't need another asshole raping her." Blake shoved Hudson off me, and he said to me "Go get some air."
I grabbed my phone and ran out of the gym. My phone then started ringing, to see Reece's number on my screen. "Hello?" I answered.
"Rain!" His voice was filled with worry, "Ryker was in a car accident. He's being sent to the hospital. They said he's in a coma."
My whole body froze, and I couldn't think straight. "No.." I whispered, pinching myself to hope I was in a dream but nothing was working.
Tears started to prick my eyes and I took my heels off and ran down the hall. I fumbled for my keys in my leather jacket.
"This can't be happening.." I whispered, and tears were streaming down my face. I started to run to a exit door past the boys locker room, but I was grabbed and pulled into the locker room.
It was pitch black and smelt like cologne exploded. I was pinned up against a wall and tried to escape whomevers grip I was in. "Let me go." I struggled.
The lights turned on and I met a very familiar pair of blue eyes. "Ryk.." I whispered, "But Reece just called me-..he said you were in a car accident."
Instead Ryker was standing in front of me in a tux, "Can't believe you actually fell for that. You know how I drive, and I don't crash." He narrowed his eyes at me. "You asshole!" I yelled, smacking his arm but her quickly caught my wrist.
"Why am I an asshole?" He questioned. "Because you scared me!" I exclaimed. "And why were you scared?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow me.
"Because I love you!" I exclaimed, and tore my hand out pf his grip. His lips tugged up to a smirk, and he pushed me back up against the wall. "You know we met here." He whispered.
Biting my lip, I realized that Ryker and I actually did meet here in the boys locker room. "Well won't that be a pleasant story to tell people." I breathed, and Ryker came closer to me.
"You know it really was all your fault about getting into that drug deal here, and meeting at a High School. You're just lucky I was here-" I started to ramble was cut off when Ryker smashed his lips into mine.
I stood up straight, with my back pressing up against the wall. I gave into his kiss, and his tongue slid across my teeth asking for entry.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and kept us chest to chest. I had my arms wrapped around his neck and tugged lightly on his hair.
The kiss was wanting and passionate with no gentleness whatsoever. Ryker pulled on my lip, before we both broke away for air.
Our breath was both heavy, and he pressed his forehead to mine. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He whispered.
I placed my hands flat on his chest and caught my breath. "I'm going to ask you something that I should've asked you a long time ago." He said, then standing back.
He got down on one knee, and I froze. He pulled something out of his pocket, and I covered my mouth with my hands out of shock.
"Rain Eliza Thompson...I love you, even though you're a total brat sometimes." He said. "Ryk.." I trailed off.
"Will you go to prom with me?" He asked, holding up a dime. My jaw dropped, and he smiled before standing up. "You're such an ass." I scoffed, and he laughed, pecking my lips.
"I'm keeping the dime though." I said, taking it from him. "You can keep it, I get my pay-check tomorrow." He said, making me roll my eyes. I stared up at him, and put a hand on his cheek.
"Babe, do me a favor and shave?" I said, referring to the stubble on his cheeks. "Babe?" He cocked an eyebrow at me, "Last time I checked, only couples say that."
I threw my arms loosely around his neck. "Take me back?" I asked, biting my lip.
"Always, princess." He said, pressing his lips back to mine. My heart fluttered, electricity shot through me, and butterflies erupted my stomach.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
My eyes flickered open and the sun filled through windows and curtains. "Good morning, beautiful." Ryker's voice whispered, and I turned on my side to face Ryker.
He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear and his eyes boring to mine. "Morning." I smiled back. "I could get use to waking up next to you every morning." Ryker whispered, playing with my hair.
We both stared at each other for a few moments with silence filling the air. But with Ryker and I, silence was a thousand words.
I then headd the door open, and Ryker sighed "That's Ally," then standing up and pulling on a pair of joggers on. He handed me one of his shirts and kissed my forehead.
Ryker walked out of the bedroom. I sat up and quickly clasped a bra on and pulled on underwear before throwing on the plain white t-shirt Ryker gave me.
I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and threw my hair up in a messy bun. Heading out, I walked to the kitchen and Alessandra's eyes snapped to mine. "Rain..I didn't know you spent the night." She trailed off, and I walked over to the fridge.
"How'd you guys sleep? I mean if you did do any sleeping?" Alessandra smirked, sending a wink. "Alessandra!" I warned, sending a glare at her.
"Just saying." She shrugged, taking a sip of her water. Ryker claimed that it was the "after prom" that counted, which basically was just a way to get me to sleep with him.
"Oh how was Prom?" She asked, giving me a cheeky grin. Ryker put up with a bunch of teenagers and stayed with me the whole night, right after beating the shit out of Hudson of course.
"Was nice to be a normal teenager for once." I admitted, and Ryker wrapped his arms around my waist from you. "Its about time you two got back together, we've all been waiting." Alessandra stated.
We both rolled our eyes, and Ryker handed Alessandra the keys to the skyline. "Here. Don't crash it." Ryker warned. "Thanks." Alessandra said, "I'll leave you two to it. See you later."
Ally left, shutting the door behind her. Ryker whirled me around, so I faced him and picked me up to set me on the counter.
He pressed his lips against mine, as his hands slid from my hips and tugged on the shirt I was wearing before he pulled it off.
Breaking away, Ryker pressed his lips to my neck and I closed my eyes shut. "Ryk..." I said, biting my lip "We can't I have a shoot today."
"Yes we can." He whispered, putting his forehead against mine. "No." I shook my head, "Not working doesn't give me money."
Ryker frowned at me. "As much as I'd love to make out with you all day, I have to go." I said, putting a hand on his cheek.
He clasped his hands around my wrist and pecked my lips "I Love you." "I love you too." I smiled, sliding off the counter and pulling on a shirt with jeans.
"See you later?" He asked, and I nodded, "I'll call you after the shoot. Maybe we could go out for dinner or something." I said, finishing off tying my Converses before walking out.
