You Took Me In As One

Chapter 38

I watched as Riley turned into Riker. The room was no longer black and there was no pain.
I shot up and looked around the room, hyperventilating, I couldn't breath. " Jordan! Calm down!" Riker pushed me down, I was panicking. The room was spinning and I felt numb. He gave me a water bottle and told me to drink slowly. He helped me hold the bottle since I was shaking so badly.

My shortness of breath went away and I was finally able to sit up. My heart was racing and my vision was blurred from all my tears.

Riker took the drink and sat it on the table. " What happ-" I jumped into his arms cutting him off. I was so scared of life right now and I needed someone I trusted.
" Please don't let anything happen to me." I cried into his shoulder.

" Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you again." He rubbed my back. Again? What else happened? " But what happened?" I took me a while to reply " I had a dream that Riley was R-rapping m-m-me." I sobbed.

I didn't want to leave his arms, I felt safe and protected. " It was just a dream, it's okay." We sat in silence for a while until I decided to ask.

" What else happened to me?" I asked. His face went pale and eyes widened. " You don't remember, do you?" I shook my head. " Listen I don't know if I should tell you."

I slid off his lap. I crossed my legs and played with my blanket. " Please?" I pleaded. He sighed and looked at his hands. " Um, you were uh, taken, and um in an uh accident." He whispered.

Once the word taken was said, A quick memory flashed in my head. It was dark, and I was in a room, with 2 other people, but I can't make them out, but one of them sounds familiar.

" Did you ever find the person who took me?" He shook his head. " No but they're still doing some investigation." I didn't say anything, I was still trying to process everything.

Someone kidnaped me? Who would do that? Why even? And I was in an accident, that's probably why I can't remember anything. " We were going to keep it a secret, we didn't think it was safe for you to know yet."

I stayed quite. Why is my life so messed up? Why? I've done nothing wrong and I don't deserve any of this. My life just sucks. " I kinda want to be alone right now." I said hoping he would leave.

He studied me, but then he got up and left. I walked into my bathroom, locked the door and sat at the edge of the bathtub. More tears feel down my face and onto my lap. I filled the bathtub with water.

I undressed but melt my undergarments on. I got down into the water and took a couple of deep breaths. I looked up at the ceiling, " See you soon." I pushed myself underneath the water. I held my breath for as long as I can. My head started pounding and my vision was becoming black.

I let at my breath out and lifted my head above water, grasping for air. I was coughing and trying to breath at the same time. I wiped my face, I guess I don't have the nerve to do it to myself.

I can't believe I actually just tried to commit suicide. I always thought ending your life was stupid; and I just tried it myself. " Jordan! We have a radio interview to go to, hurry up." Mark yelled into my room, guessing I was going to be there. " Okay!" I yelled so he could hear me though the door.

I was shaking get out of the tub. I changed into leggings and an over sized shirt. I put my hair into a messy bun and walked out. I wiped away the running makeup and I was ready. I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs.

I was quite the whole ride there. We got out of the van and they all walked inside, I said I needed freaks hair so I stayed outside. I was sitting on a bench and I heard someone pull up beside me.

I didn't look up, but I knew they had a skateboard. " What's the matter?" I flinched as he placed a hand on my back. I sat as far as I could away from him. " N-n-nothing, I'm fine." I fake smile.

" Why haven't you been answering my texts?" Riley asked. " My phones broken." I lied. He nodded his head. " So how has my babe been?" He asked wrapping his arm around me waist pulling me into him.

I was so uncomfortable around him now. I was terrified too. " Great." I pulled away and stood up. " Why do you keep moving away from me?" He tried to grab my hand but I wouldn't let him.

" I'm not, but I really need to go inside." I turn around but he grabbed onto my wrist really hard. I turned back to face him. " I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry." I ripped my hand from him. " You don't want to do that." He warned.

I raised my brows " Watch me." I whispered. I ran into the building and showed them my necklace that showed I'm aloud backstage.

I sat down just as it started. " So we have a couple questions for you guys today." Everyone cheered. They interdicted themselves and then they started.

" So, who is single in the band?" Everyone but Ross raised their hand. The interview smirked. " And who is the lucky girl?" She asked Ross.

" Laura Marino, she's my co-star." He said thoughtlessly. They asked more and more questions. Pretty much the same old stuff. They preformed two songs and it was time for us to leave.

Ross was in a mode once again today, but it he wasn't angry this time. " I think I'll walk home." He said. Since the place wasn't that far away, stormie let him. He walked off and we drove off.

Later that day I was walking a long the beach. I could hear faint yelling, I looked around and saw no one. Couple minutes later I saw run out of the bush. I raised my eyebrows and watched what he was doing.

I wasn't that far away from him, he's going to notice me soon. He looked in my direction and I turned around and started walking away. He yelled my name making me walk faster.

I headed rustling coming from behind me, Ross was running after me. I stopped and turned around. He didn't stop running. He came up to me and caught me by surprise as he hugged me.

" I'm so sorry for the way I've been treating you. I'm sorry for the way Laura has treated you. I'm so sorry for everything." He said. He pulled away. " Why are you apologizing?" I asked.

I noticed his cheeks were red and eyes were puffy. " I had time to think, and I realized what Laura has done to me. She made me treat the people I care about like shit. And I know she's done some stuff to you guys too on her own. "

" I broke up with her." Was the words that I've been waiting for. Yeah that's rude, but she doesn't deserve a guy like him. " There's way better people out there for you Ross." I mention.

" I know," he whispered. I felt a drop on my head making me look up. It was raining.
"We better get home." Ross said. I agreed and we ran all the way home. We were soaking wet when we got home.

Ross and I laughed together and ran upstairs to get changed. Ross told the family that he broke up with Laura, then he suggested to watch movies. Us kids got the couch and stormie and mark got the love seat.

I was in the middle In between Ellington and Ross. Rydel was beside Ellington and Ryland was beside him. Riker was beside Ross and Rocky was beside him. Many, many movies after, we were all at the edge of sleep. I dropped my head onto Ellington's shoulder. I shut my eyes and let sleep take over.
