Chapter 9

Skye POV

"No! Please don't make me go!" Riker shouted.

"Riker, you have to go," my mom said.

"No! I'm better!"

"You had a panic attack this morning. Go get in the car. You're going to your appointment whether you like it or not."

Riker was dragged out to the car by his mom. I wasn't going to go with him because sitting in the waiting room was really boring!

Rocky decided to teach me how to play video games.

Skye POV

Riker came home, and he wasn't the same as he was when he left. He went straight up to his room and slammed the door, only to get yelled at by his mom.

I went upstairs and knocked on his door.

"Go away."

"Riker, it's me."

"What do you want?"

"Can I come in?"

The door opened, and Riker stood there, looking at me with tears in his eyes.

"Riker, what's wrong?"

He pulled me to his chest, shut the door, and cried.

"Riker, come on. What's wrong? What happened when you saw the therapist?"

"She thinks I need to get over my fears."

"And?"

"And she told my mom that."

"And?"

"And now we're going on vacation next week for spring break."

"Riker, I'm not seeing the problem here."

"We have to fly on a plane!"

"Oh... Do you know where we're going?"

"I think Florida..."

"That's awesome! I mean... Um... Riker, it'll be fine. I promise."

"No, it won't! She told my mom how I don't like the ocean, and my mom is going to make me take surfing lessons to try to make me get over it."

"Anything else?"

"Not yet, but I'm sure she'll think of more ways to torture me!"

"Riker, she's your mom. She doesn't like seeing you scared. She's just trying to help, not torture you."

"I don't care! I don't want to go!"

"Riker, everything will be fine."

"It won't be fine."

"You don't know that."

"Just leave, Skye."

I sighed.

"Skye, get out!"

I left Riker's room, and went downstairs. Riker's mom had told everyone about going to Florida. I could tell because everyone was bouncing off the walls with excitement, especially Rydel.

Riker POV

I heard a knock on my door. I got out of bed, and opened it. It was Skye.
