The Rise Of Us

Chapter 82: Why must you do this?

"Ryder."

"Ranger."

"Hood man."

"Come on I'm running out of names get up!"

Ryder groans when the covers are ripped away from him, him laying on his back with his arms under the pillow. He doesn't open his eyes because he can feel the sun light seeping in through the blinds and it only makes his head hurt more. He murmurs and groans in annoyance and he slaps his pillow over his head, trying to cover his eyes and head both from the light.

"Close the damn blinds." Ryder gruffs.

"No thanks." Amberlee responds simply. "Take your pills there are two tablets right there on the nightstand and from water.

Ryder shakes his head. "No."

Amberlee rolls her eyes, she knows he has a light trigger when it comes to medicine because of him selling drugs in the past and using some in his past as well. She knows he doesn't want to go back to being that person so everything pill and drug related he tries to stay away from, and Amberlee understands that but when it comes to detrimental situations she fights him with it.

And this is one of the situations.

"Ryder it's only pain pills I promise you. I left the bottle right there that way you can read all of the ingredients to it." Amberlee says.

"Can't listen to that." Ryder mentions simply.

Amberlee just rolls her eyes again. "It's nine you have to get up we have to meet my mom and Auntie Nancy."

"Why?" He questions.

"Because you have to give your speech for the whole...yeah." Amberlee responds.

Ryder only sighs out in annoyance, him going to get up after a minute. He runs a hand through his hair before he goes to make his way out of the room.

"Are you going to take the pills that'll make your head feel better?"

"No." Ryder deadpans before he closes the bathroom door.

Amberlee only just rolls her eyes once again with a sigh of frustration, already knowing he was going to be like this. She just brushes it off though, she knows when it comes to his migraines that he has he was this way and this is worse then a migraine. She goes to make her way inside of the shower, going to take a twenty minute shower.

After she is done she moisturizes before putting on purple leggings and a simple purple shirt sleeved shirt and sneakers, putting her hair up in a high ponytail. She brushes her teeth and washes her face before she makes her way out of the bathroom.

She sees Ryder in the room, him putting on his black joggers before his hand goes back to his toothbrush, moving it around in his mouth. He goes back in the bathroom, getting done brushing his teeth and washing his face before he goes back into the room and puts on a white simple T shirt and his white sneakers, leaving his hair down and running a hand through it.

Amberlee makes her way inside of the room, going to grab her phone and keys, watching as Ryder tries to put his hair up but it falling down making him sigh out loudly in frustration. Without saying anything she puts her hands on his shoulders, motioning for him to sit down. When he does she goes to put his hair in a neat bun behind his head, making sure no strands are free to get in his face.

"Appreciate it." He responds.

Amberlee smiles, going to kiss him on the lips before going back to her phone and keys. "You ready?"

"Yeah." Ryder responds, them both going inside of Amberlee's car before Amberlee begins to drive.

Ryder puts the sun visor down to block the sun from his face before he leans back in the seat while closing his eyes. His body feels weak and his head is pounding, feeling like it is throbbing and someone is mushing his brain like Plato or using it as a stress ball. His face scrunches up in pain, rubbing his forehead a little.
