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

I miss you

*Edited*

"Why.. why are our lives so screwed up" I say as I sob into Riker's chest while I sit on his lap and he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Life just isn't fair and it never will be. Why should they get to be happy after they betrayed us. And we're miserable yet they act like we're the problem" Riker says as he holds me in his arms and I can see tears in his eyes when I look up.

"Hey, everything will be okay. you did nothing wrong, Rocky is an absolute idiot for not seeing how amazing you are, because you really are amazing. And you're always there when people need you, unlike some people" he said looking into my eyes when he saw me crying.

"You really think so?" I asked and he nodded his head yes.

"Why would he do this? How could he make you cry like this, that's not what a good boyfriend does, that's not what someone who loves you does" he said wiping away my tears. "I honestly hate to see you cry, especially not over him, he's not worth it, you're too good for him" he tells me.

"Thanks Riker, you're amazing too and Audrey is insane and a slut and she missed on the best guy ever" I tell him.

"Thanks Bay, do you want some pizza or ice cream or something.." he asked looking into my eyes but I cut him off.

"Ca.. can you just stay here with me for a bit. I don't wanna be alone" I say with tears in my eyes as I lay my head on Riker's chest.

"Of course, I'll always be here for you" he said as he held me in his arms. "You're so beautiful and perfect even when you cry" he mumbled so he probably didn't think I could hear, however that was the last thing I heard before I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

When I woke up I noticed I was in Riker's bed so he must've carried me up here. I looked outside the window to see it was still dark outside and I checked my phone and it was 3AM. I was asleep for a couple of hours so I got up, took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed into black denim shorts, a blue crop top, and blue converse and I let myself fall on Riker's bed deep in thought.

"Bay are you up" I hear Riker say as he gently pushes the door open a bit snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm up, I'm sorry you probably want your bed back, you must be really tired" I say as I get up.

"Oh no it's cool, I couldn't sleep anyway. I'm just glad that you're up, everyone is asleep and I really need someone to talk to and you always make me feel better so.." Riker said as we both sat down on his bed and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Well I think Audrey is an idiot, she had everything and she threw it all away for no reason..." I said but he cut me off.

"Bay can you be honest with me" he said looking into my eyes with tears in his. "What's so great about Rocky" he asked.

"I don't know anymore, everything I thought I knew I guess I really don't.." I said.

"So you don't miss him, ever?" He asked me.

"Well.. yeah I guess I do..." I said but I was cut off.

"Do you miss him right now?" he asked me.

"Not really especially since you're here, do you miss Audrey?" I asked.

"Sometimes, but not right now, not while you're here. But they obviously don't miss us, why do I keep doing this to myself, why do I keep letting Audrey break my heart" he said

"Riker it's not your fault, Audrey keeps breaking your heart for no reason, she was my best friend but she needs to make up her fucking mind, she's kind of a bitch and she plays too many games. She also just let go of the best boyfriend that she ever had" I said honestly.
