JACKSON'S POV

Why was I so stupid? Words just got stuck in my throat and I did what I knew best, run away. Like fucking always. Running away from my problems, avoiding them. But this time I was fucked. I had just ruined my life. Ryder was everything to me, and a I ruined it. All because of the goodam fucking fear of commitment.

A month prior to that day, I had found a little box in Ryder's dresser while looking for some socks. It had a ring inside, and I panicked. I didn't say a word about it to anyone. For once, i couldn't have Ryder thinking I didn't love him enough to marry him. And secondly, I didn't want anyone to think I was too much of a pussy.

Ryder was my life, and I had it very clear that I wanted to spend my life with him, but marriage just wasn't it. Marriage meant stuff I didn't like, because in my head it wasn't a good thing. Married was my mom tied up to my abusive dad. Marriage was legal papers. Marriage meant a family I couldn't start. Marriage was just full of expectations I wasn't sure I was able to meet.

Either way, it was all ruined now. I was in the middle of the streets and alone, regretting every decision made in my life. My phone started vibrating like crazy and I managed to open it with shaky hands. It was Nick who had been messaging me.

I closed it back and started to cry. I cried for so long, I didn't realize it got dark. My only option was to go back to my house with my brothers, so that's where I was headed to. They both opened the door and I just fell into their arms, helpless.

After a long time just sitting on the couch with my older brother, my phone started ringing. I didn't want to look, I didn't want to talk. So I tirned it off and cried for a bit more, till I eventually just fell asleep from exhaustion.

RYDER'S POV

When I opened my eyes I was in a hospital bed. There wasn't anyone in the room and the overwhelming confusion and the memories from the situation took the best of me and I started crying. The machine indicated my heart rate was increasing a lot, and a nurse rushed inside.

- Sir, we need to keep you relaxed. I have some meds for...

-  No. - I cut her off - Sorry, I don't need anything. I'll calm down.

I didn't even believe my words. And then I heard a familiar voice.

- Ryder, you're awake finally. You got us so worried. - Sean said while standing next to me. - Nick has been trying to contact Jack but that boy is completely out of signal. What the heck happened ?

I wanted to just say that I wish I had known. Because maybe then I'd know how to fix it. But instead I just broke down again, letting my friend hug me while the nurse was nagging me about some medication. I didn't care about anything. I needed my boy back.
