Dance in the Rain

D.I.T.R. - 9

*Pic on side is of McKay - played by Lachlan Buchanan

“Ryan?” I asked, my voice sounding groggy from sleep. My closed eyes burned and felt like they were balloons.

“Yeah baby?” He asked, sounding just as groggy. When he said baby I knew he meant it in a friend way and nothing more. He’d promised not to make anything weird between us.

“I feel like shit,” I sighed and he chuckled a little, stirring a bit so he faced me. I opened my eyes slightly and sighed with relief when I saw it was still dark in my bedroom, “What time is it?” I asked and looked at the clock on the bedside table behind Ryan. The red light told me it was seven thirty in the morning. Guess I’m skipping today. I sighed and got up, going to take a shower. I told Ryan before I locked the bathroom door and I heard him get up and leave my room, probably searching for some breakfast.

I ran the water too hot for a little while until it was too much to bear so I put some colder water with it. I washed my hair and shaved my legs and under arms. I washed my face and got out of the shower, drying myself with my massive soft towel. My blonde hair was cascading down my back in natural curls down to my waist. I put on some mascara and concealer to cover up my puffy, red eyes and walked slowly down stairs.

As I was taking the steps very slowly, I heard yelling coming from the kitchen and judging by the accents, it sounded like Ryan and Samson. I rounded the corner to the kitchen and froze.

Samson had Ryan pushed up against a wall and Ryan’s face was turning from a bright red to blue. I screamed and jumped onto Samson’s back, pulling him away from Ryan,

“What are you doing?” I almost shrieked as I climbed off his back and ran to Ryan who was gasping for breath and his face was returning to a normal colour, “Are you okay?” I asked, glaring at Samson who was also breathing heavily. Samson turned on his heel and stormed out of the kitchen muttering incoherent things to himself.

Ryan started to cough now so I got up and quickly got him a glass of water. He thanked me and downed the glass quickly. I sat against the wall next to him and just stared into space.

What was wrong with Samson? I can’t believe he just did that. I knew that Samson hated Ryan for what he did to me but that was no reason to almost suffocate him. ‘Me and Ryan were friends now, but Samson didn’t know that, you idiot!’ I thought to myself.

Ryan’s breathing went back to normal and he turned to me, “I better go,” He started to get up but I held his hand and he ended up pulling me up to stand next to him,

“I am so sorry, Ryan,” I started, “I had no idea that Samson would do anything like that. I suppose I’ll see you later then,” I hugged him, “Thanks so much for last night and I hope we have a good friendship from now on. I am sorry I ruined your shirt,” I smiled half-heartedly at the big stain on his shirt from were I was crying.

He chuckled a little, “It’s fine, and it wasn’t much of a shirt anyway. My mum bought it for me last year and didn’t really have the heart to throw it out.” He shrugged and I gave him a funny look,

“Then why do you were it?” I asked, confused.

“I don’t really know,” He sighed and smiled a goofy smile at me, “I suppose I couldn’t really be bothered and it was probably at the top of the pile so I just pulled it on after a shower so I could catch up with Solo while you were still in the shower,”

He hugged me a little and said good bye one last time before heading home, where I had no idea was, “Hey, Ryan?” I asked following him to the door. He turned around and gave me a questioning look, “Where are you staying at the moment?” I asked quickly because it was kind of obvious he just wanted to leave and take a shower.

“Um, a place down near the footy oval at the beach, it’s a nice little house and is owned by and old family friend of mine.” He shrugged,

“I better go, see ya later.” He then left and shut the door behind him,

“Why was he here, Desiree?” Samson asked from behind me, his voice angry.

“Why did you almost strangle him?? HUH??” I yelled at him and walked up to him to poke his half cover chest since his arms were crossed in a very intimidating manor.

“Have you just forgotten what he did to you? When you broke down those years ago, it killed me. You’re the only family I have got now! Mum and dad hate me, they hate everyone besides you! You don’t know how it feels to be the only one hated in your family besides mum hates dad and dad hates mum!”

“Don’t you dare bring family issues into this! This is about Ryan and he has nothing to do with mum and dad! And do you think I can help being the only loved one in this family! Do you think I like that? Huh? Do you think it’s my fault that mum and dad are stuffed up?” I was full on yelling at him.

We started screaming at each other for ages and at one point, Solo came in to see what was going on but when he saw that we were close to ripping each others heads off, he decided not to interfere. I think Jodie, Samson’s girlfriend, came in once too, but quickly ran back out of the room.

In the end, I punched Samson hard in the face because he was really annoying me. I was starting to lose my voice; too, hence, I would lose the fight. I quickly dodged his backhand and ran out of the house. That’s when I ran, and kept running until I got to the airport where I caught the first plane to Parramatta. Luckily I had quite a bit of money on my debit card that was in my pocket.
