Being Rocky Lynch's Mystery Girl

Chapter 11

Rocky’s POV:

I was jolted awake by the sound of a truck blaring its horn. What the fuck? Oh yeah I slept under the freeway last night. I’m still pissed at Ross but I am definitely going to get my revenge.

I’m sick of him always thinking he can get what he wants because he can’t and I’m going to make sure of it. I thought he would change and realize that it’s not all about him, but I was wrong. Now he’s in for a rude awakening.

My back is pretty stiff from sleeping on the ground last night. I guess it’s about time I go home. I just hope Ross isn’t there.

I finally make it home and just walk through the door.

“Oh my god Rocky!” Rydel shrieked.

“Rocky where have you been, we’ve been looking for you everywhere?!” my mom asked.

“Oh yeah I’m sure,” I muttered climbing the stairs.

“Rocky!” she gasped, “How could you say that? We were worried sick!”

Ross was waiting at the top of the stairs, “Hey bro.”

I can’t believe he can just ‘hey bro’d’ me like nothing even happened. I shoved past, ignoring him and headed straight to my room.

I went in and jumped on my bed. It’s good to be home…kind of.

“Rocky! I didn’t know you were back,” Riker said surprised.

“Yup,” I replied popping the p.

“Well where were you?”

“Out.”

“Out? That’s all you have to say we were worried sick about you and you were just “out”,” he air-quoted the out.

“What does it matter I’m here now.” He stood up and walked to my bed.

“Dude how can you be so selfish? First you beat the crap out of Ross and then up and go missing leaving us all to pick up your mess.”

“I really don’t want to hear it Riker,” I sighed running my hand through my hair.

“You just don’t get it do you? I can’t believe you went and did something like. I can’t believe you treated your family like that.”

“Oh don’t start giving me shit about family,” I said standing up, “What about Ross? He didn’t seem to fucking care about family when he was sticking his tongue down Lily’s throat, but does he get any shit on it no of course not because he’s fucking Ross! He can do whatever the hell he pleases and get away with it! This is bullshit!”

I shoved past Riker and stormed out of the room. Coming back was a mistake. Of course they would all be on his side. Some family.

Waiting outside the door was Rydel, “Rocky you don’t understand.”

“There’s nothing to understand Rydel, you all hate me and love Ross.” I pushed past her and started making my way down the stairs.

“We don’t hate you Rocky!” she said following me.

“Yeah whatever.”

“Wait…where are you going? Are you leaving again? No Rocky please don’t go!” she started sobbing. I turned and looked back at her through the doorway.

“I’m sorry,” I said walking out and closing the door behind me. I could hear the faint sobs of my big sister begging me to stay, but I had to go. Right now there is nothing for me there.

I just need to find a place to go. I took out my phone and dialed the only number I could think of. I’m going to regret this. “Hello, Laura?”
