A Different Kind of Devotion (R5 Fanfiction)

Hanaa's POV

As I got in the car and sped to the ER, I was still on the phone with Kristinne.

"Is he okay?"

"The worst he's got is a cracked rib. Nothing major."

I let out a deep breath. "Oh thank God."

"He can come home with you right away."

"Great. Kristinne, I just pulled in the parking lot. I'll be in in a minute."

I hung up the phone and hopped out of the car, hurrying into the building. Kristinne was waiting there to take me to Riker.

He was sitting on the edge of a hospital bed with a black eye and swollen lip. When he saw me he looked down. I walked toward him and gently turned his face toward me.

"Riker, what happened?" I asked.

He stayed silent.

"He wouldn't tell me anything either," Kristinne added. "But you can take him home now. Just have him take one of these pain relievers every night before bed."

I nodded. "Thanks Kristinne."

I led Riker out to the car and drove until we came to a small, secluded part of the beach. I stopped the car and killed the engine.

"Riker, please tell me what happened," I begged.

He dropped his head, refusing to make eye contact. "Fistfight," he muttered.

I gasped. "What?!"

"Some guys were making fun of me," he explained.

"How?" I asked. "What were they saying?"

He stayed silent.

"Riker, tell me."

"I told you, they were making fun of me!"

"How?" It was more of a command than a question.

His head dropped lower.

"For being in a Disney band."

"Oh Riker!" I cried. "Don't listen to them! They're just a bunch of jealous jerks."

"No, you don't understand." He looked up at me. "They were some guys from Glee."
