The Accident That Changed Everything

Chapter 22

Emma POV

Riker looked like he wanted to murder Ross. He turned around, walked back inside, and slammed the door.

"That was... amazing..." Said Ross.

"Ross, that wasn't ok!"

Knowing about Riker's dream last night, and what we'd talked about earlier made me feel even worse. He was scared of this exact thing happening, and it happened.

"Stay here. Let me talk to him," I said standing up.

"Emma, wait."

"What, Ross?"

"I'm sorry."

I rolled my eyes, and went inside.

I looked around, and could see and hear that Riker had locked himself in our bedroom. I went over and knocked on the door.

"Riker, open the door. It's not what you think!"

The door flew open, and Riker stood inches from my face. The fury in his eyes was scaring me. I'd never seen him so mad before.

"How could you do that!?" Riker screamed.

"I didn't! It was all your brother!"

"I knew something was going on between you two!"

"Riker, nothing's going on!"

"So you guys were kissing for no reason!?"

"Riker, calm down. Let me explain."

"You don't need to. I saw everything I needed to."

"Riker, please!"

Riker pushed me backwards, and left the house. I ran after him. Ross was backing up to the house with Riker walking closer to him. I jumped between both of them.

"Riker, stop! This is stupid! Let me explain what happened!" I shouted.

"Move, Emma!"

"No!"

"I don't want you to get hurt!"

"Well I don't want Ross to get hurt!"

Riker pushed me to the side, and started walking toward Ross again. He started backing up, and tripped over a rock, falling to the ground. I ran up to Riker, and pulled him away.

"Emma, stop!"

"No, Riker! You need to let me talk!"

"I don't want to hear your lies."

Ross took off somewhere behind the house. I started pulling Riker backwards, back to the front door. When we got to the steps, he wasn't looking, and completely just fell backwards.

"OW!"

I took his hand and pulled him inside.

"Riker-"

"Don't bother!"

Riker's eyes flashed with anger. He seemed to be getting angrier every minute, and I was really scared now.

"Riker-"

"How about you let me talk for once?"

"Riker, I need to explain-"

"Sit down!"

"What?"

"Sit. Down. Now."

I slid to the floor. Riker came and stood over me. I covered my face with my hands, waiting for something to happen. I heard a thud, and looked next to me. Riker had fallen to his knees, and was crying hard.
