My Cinderella Story

Chapter 14

Riker's POV|

I walked in to Merideth's room to see her sitting up watching something on her laptop.

"Hey!" She said lighting up. It was a few days after the surgery. the procedure had gone great and her leg was almost healed. The only thing she didn't like is she had to be on crutches for a few weeks.

"They said you can leave today. We are all ready for you to move in the Lynch house." I said grabbing her duffle bag which had clothes he had changed into. She packed up her computer and grabbed her crutches. We left and I helped her into the car.

Merideth's POV|

"Thank you." I said sitting in the car. Riker climbed into the other side and started for a total new place for me.

We got to the Lynch house and there was a banner that said "Welcome to your new home Merideth!" I got out of the car and crutched all the way to the stairs. I tried to get up the stairs but Riker insisted on helping me.

"Ready to go in?" Riker said .

"Just don't drop me." I said putting my arms around his neck.

We walked in the door and the lights were off. Riker set me down and grabbed my crutches. he fliped on the lights.

"WELCOME HOME!" Eveyone said popping up from behind the couch.

Everyone came and grabbed my bags and put them on the stairs. we went into the kitchen and had some cake and ice cream.

"So how does it feel to live in the city now?" Ross asked.

"You don't understand how much I already love it!" I exclaimed.

"We hope you love it here to." Stormie said giving me a hug.

There was a knock on the front door and Rocky popped up.

"He finally got here." He said running to the door. When he came back he had a guy with long brown hair and a cat shirt on.

"Merideth this is Ellington Ratliff." Riker introduced.

"How's it going Ratliff." he said shaking my head. I could tell he was funny. I knew who he was because with all that spare time in the hospital I caught up on my R5TV. My favorite episode was when they went to California Adventure.

"So are you happy to be out of the hospital?" Rydel asked me.

"More than you will ever know!" I sighed.

We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut an just chatted.

"We should go to Get Shaved tonight!" Rocky sprang up.

"What?" I asked.

"Dude we are going! You have to experience Get Shaved." Ross practically yelled.

I looked at Riker and he returned an assuring look. We all loaded into the van. Riker and I were in the front. Rocky, Ellington, and Rydel were behind us and Ryland and Ross were in the back. We got to Get Shaved and Riker helped me out of the van.

"What do you suggest?" I asked Riker.

"Don't worry I know exactly what to get you." He said walking up to the counter. He came back with two Birthday Cake Expresses. I took a bite and it was really good! We all sat around and talked and had a good time.

"Alright guys we gotta go R5 has a show tomorrow and we have to get an early start." Mark said unlocking the van.

Riker carried me to the van and helped me in. He slid my crutches under the seat and slid next to me. I leaned over and fell asleep on his chest. For once I feel safe.
