The Lights (A Rocky Lynch Story)

Chapter 4

Rayne's POV

My head hurt, my body hurt and I had a horrible headache. I slowly opened my eyes and was blinded by a white light. I closed my eyes again and took a deep breathe.

I remembered everything that happened, my dad, my mom, going over to the Lynches. I opened my eyes again and let them adjust. I was in the hospital. I told Rocky i didn't want to go! If my dad found out, there's no telling what he'll do.

I raised my hand to the base of my neck, it was bandaged. So was my upper right forehead and the back of my skull.

I slowly sat up, black spots appearing in my vision. I saw I had an IV, I hate needles! And to top things off, I was in a hospital gown. I was sitting up when a nurse came in.

"Oh good, your up. Your boyfriend was here earlier, and dropped off some clothes for you." The nurse said in a cheerful voice. She thought Rocky was my boyfriend? Embarrassing.

"He's not my boyfriend." I told her.

"Oh, I just thought. It's clear he cares about you deeply." She said unhooking my IV. "Here's your medicine, and crutches for your sprained ankle. You'll need to come back in a week for a check up." She told me and with that she left.

There was a bag of clothes beside the hospital bed. I unzipped it and pulled out a pair of slim fit blue jeans a white T-shirt and my leather jacket.

Rocky really did know me. I slipped on my Tee and blue jeans carefully to avoid the cuts,bruises,bandages and my new lime green cast/wrap thing.Rocky probably picked out the color, we both had an obsession with green. I pulled on a sock on my non-sprained leg and my black converse . He even pack me a hairbrush and a toothbrush. I brushed out my hair, and used the crutches to get to the sink were I brushed my teeth.

I packed all my stuff back up and found my cell phone. I texted Rocky.

To: Rocky

Hey, can you please pick me up from the hospital?

I sent the text, and waited 5 minutes. No reply. The nurse came in, "Hello miss, are you hungry?"

"No thank you. But,um, whats the date and time?" I asked.

"It's Saturday, 3:00pm. You were tired, and badly injured so you slept in awhile."

"Thanks."

She left, still no reply from Rocky. I texted Rydel

To: Del

Hey, whats going on? Rocky won't return my texts.

I really hope he wasn't hurt too. Luckily for me Rydel answered.

From: Del

He's just upset. Riker and I are on our way to pick you up.

Why was Rocky upset? Maybe he's mad I haven't told him what's going on. But I had good reason too.

To: Del

Why's he upset?

From: Del

We'll explain.

Was all she sent. I really hope Rocky would understand. I didn't, couldn't lose him as a friend. I liked him. I've liked my best friend since I was 14.But did he feel the same way?

I pondered this question until Rydel and Riker burst into the room.

"Hey," Rydel says walking over to me and hugging me. "How are you?"

"Getting better." I said, Riker came over and hugged me.

"How is he?" I asked them.

"Don't know he locked himself in our room last night. Hasn't come out since, I had to sleep on the couch." Riker said.

"Why is he upset?" I asked.

"Your boyfriend showed up last night." Rydel said. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"Boyfriend? I've never had one, I swear. I would've told you."

They didn't believe me, "Please, you have to believe me. The only person I've ever liked is -" I cut myself off. I almost told Rydel and Riker that I liked their younger brother.

"Who is it? Come on tell us. We won't tell anybody." Riker said trying to keep the smirk off his face

"Promise, you won't tell anybody. Not even family." I said.

"Well Rocky's going to want to know." Rydel said.

My heart stopped in my chest, no he couldn't know!

"Why?" I asked.

"No reason." Riker said quickly. Shooting his sister a glance.

What was that about?

"So, who is it?" Rydel said.

"It-it's Rocky." I chocked out.

"Oh my God, I knew it!" Rydel squealed. Riker just smirk.

I blushed, my face completely red. "Please don't tell him." They didn't say anything. Oh no.

"Come on, we should really get going." Riker said. Rydel grabbed my bag while Riker helped me to stand and get my crutches.

We got to the car, Riker pulled out his phone and texted someone. Probably Rocky.

We pulled into the Lynches drive way, Rydel went into the house while Riker carried me into the house. I have no idea why. He set me down on the couch and brought my crutches in.

"Thanks." I said he and Rydel left. I got up on my crutches, and made my way to the stairs. I set my crutches down and dragged myself up the steps then did an army crawl till I got outside Riker and Rocky's room.

"Rocky. Please let me in to explain."

Nothing. I knocked on the door, nada.

"Rocky please. Who ever it was, was lying I don't have a boyfriend. Please you have to believe me."

I like you, I added in my head. He opened the door, I laid on the floor looking up at him.

"Hey, I like the cast color by the way." I said trying to ease the tension.

"I want the truth." Was all he said. I couldn't keep this from him anymore. But if i told him and my dad found out Rocky would be t risk.

"Okay, but please don't treat me any differently."

"Why would I treat you differently?"

"Just help me up." I said. He picked me up bridal style and took me into his room and set me on his bed. He turned around and closed the door.

He sat down beside me, so close I could feel the heat from his body. It sent goosebumps up my skin.

"Okay it started 5 months ago when you left..."
