In Our Separate Minds (IOM Series:Book 2) (Completed)

Don't You Ever

*Edited*

As Bay, Rocky, and I hugged Riker in his hospital bed there was a loud beeping sound.

We jumped back and Riker's heart rate was dangerously low.

"Help! Help please" us three yelled trying to fight back our sobs.

3 nurses rush in and Axcel went in the room and told us to wait outside.

"Audie come here" Ross says and I walk over and hug him.

"Sweetie he'll be alright. Riker's strong, he'll pull through" Stormie says hugging me.

"Thank you Mama Stormie, I just love him so much I can't lose him again" I say and hug her back.

"Use all that love for hope he'll pull through like he's always done for you" Mark says and joins our hug.

"Thank you Papa Mark, and Mama Stormie, I think I just needed some reassurance" I say and pull away from their embrace.

"No problem sweetie we love you" Stormie says.

"I love you guys too" I say and give them a quick hug and walk over to Rydel crying into the crook of Ratliff's neck.

"Dels, It's going to be okay" I say trying to hold back my own tears while touching her back.

Rydel turns around and hugs me crying more I hug back, and I lose it tears streaming down both of our faces.

"Girls" Ratliff says and joins our hug and we both cry.

Axcel comes out of Riker's room and I run up to him.

"Audrey I'm so sorry" he says looking down.

"He's gone" I sob and drop to my knees and Ross rushes up behind me.

"Riker Lynch died on November 11th, 2020 3:11pm" Axcel says.

"No, no, no, no this can't happen" I yell sobbing into Ross's shoulder.

"Why me, I lost everyone I've ever cared about, and now I lost the one person that I loved" I yelled still crying.

"Would you like to see him?" Axcel asks.

"One last time, of course I do" I say holding a lump of tears in my throat.

I get up and run to Riker's room and open the door stopping when I see a pale, lifeless, dead Riker laying on the bed chest exposed.

I run up to the side of the bed and hug him crying into his chest.

I look up and just stare into his lifeless closed dark hazel eyes that I'll never see again.

I press my lips to his that don't move anymore until something moves with my lips, still pressed water wetting my lips.

I pull away from him and look down at him seeing him cough up water.

His eyes fluttering open and sits up coughing and he looks over at me crying hard.

"Riker" I sob rushing and hugging him and he embraces me as I cry.

"Don't you ever leave me again, do you hear me" I sob.

"I promise you, I don't ever want to" he says weakly and pushes his lips to mine.

Riker Died??? Now he's alive? What a miracle?!?!?! What about Olive, Savannah, and Emma? Will they did they do something to hurt Audrey? Who were the 3 nurses with Axcel?? Hint: 2 blondes and 1 brunette.

Love you guys,

Audays
