FAR FROM REALITY: A Riker Lynch Fan Fiction

CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8:

(Skyler's POV)

I can't believe it. Riker has a split personality. By the look on his face, he probably has no idea what it means.

"Um... what's that?" He asked getting pretty worried.

"Well," the doctor began, "It is when two personalities with distinct memories and behavior patterns apparently exist in one individual." By the look on Riker's face, he needed a simpler explanation.

"It's like two people inside one person. Two personalities. You switch at times, but one usually takes dominance. In this case, you are the dominant person. Occasionally, you switch though." I tried to explain. He had a sudden look of realization then looked at me confused. He was probably wondering how I knew.

(Riker's POV)

How does Skyler know so much about this? I guess this would explain why I'm always so moody. It's like I don't control myself sometimes. When we walked out of the room, my mom, dad, siblings, and Ratliff all ran to me. I was asked all sorts of questions like "What happened?", "Who's the girl?", and "Are you okay?". After explaining what happened briefly to everyone, the doctor gave me a prescription to make sure I keep control, and I was released from the hospital. Everyone but Skyler, Rocky, and I took the family Van. Everyone walked to the parking lot, and they drove off in the van. Skyler and I waited for Rocky in the car. I had texted him to come here. After a few minutes of sitting and thinking, Rocky knocked on the window and told me to go to the back seat. After some protesting, he convinced me not to drive because... well I just got out of the hospital. I stared over at Skyler. She was so beautiful. I looked over at Rocky who looked sad. I wonder why... He looked over at Skyler and his face lit up and he smiled. Okay, I am NOT okay with this! She's mine! Rocky.... Don't you dare... She looked up at him and smiled. He better not make a move... or else.

(Rocky's POV)

I can't believe it. I'm such an idiot! Of course she had to be the girl that was at the beach with Riker. How did I not realize it?! They were probably on a date... When I saw her with Riker in his hospital room, my heart broke. I fell for someone I couldn't have. I looked over at her. She was in the passengers seat. When I saw her, there was nothing I could do to stop myself from smiling. When she looked up from her phone, we made eye contact. Her smile. It was the most perfect thing I have ever seen. It made the world disappear. It was as if nothing else was there but Skyler and I. She is perfect. She is.... my escape. My escape from reality.

We pulled into the driveway and I jumped out quickly. I ran to the other side of the car to open the door for Skyler. She laughed a little.

"What a gentleman." She said in a British accent. I laughed and quickly tried to think of something to follow her lead...but it didn't work out so well. She walked away before I could say anything. I must have looked like an idiot standing there just thinking. Riker walked towards Skyler but turned around for a second and gave me the evil eye. Riker was the oldest. If he wanted something, he got it. But this time will be different. I don't care if I have to fight for her. She will be mine.

(Skyler's POV)

When Rocky opened the door for me I made an attempt of being funny and thanked him in a funny British accent. He didn't really respond. He just sorta... stood there. I walked away because it was getting really awkward.
