Things Arent As They Seem Sequel to "I'll Always Be Here"

8

*Mike*

I heard Josh run in saying something like Ryan was frozen and Ricky was hurt. I run downstairs as he ran out.

"Mom what happened?"

"Ryan panicked after his abilities got to out of control. He's still frozen and Ricky got hurt."

"Shit." I run over to Ryan's.

Ryan was laying on the floor frozen. On the other side of the room the carpet was soaked in blood, alot of blood.

Running upstairs I find Devin wrapping Rickys arm. I sit next to them and touch his other arm, he was freezing.

"Could you warm him up, I have to see what I can do about Ryan."

I wrap him in my arms, it'd been so long. I focus my heat to him until I thought he was warm enough. I knew I shouldn't have but I kissed him. There was no regret.

*Ricky*

Kissing, it was so simple yet it held so much emotion. I stare into the sleepy brown eyes in front of me. He moves my hair kissing my forehead. I lay my head on his chest, his hands on my waist.

"Night night Ricky"

My arm hurt like fuck, at least I was warm again. I touch my tingling lips.

"Have you made up your mind."

"I still dont know." I look at my other half.

"The answer should pretty clear, you've lost control of your abilities and wont have control until we are one. In the past four hours you and Ryan both hurt each other. You can't even get near in fear that you'll hurt the other. Mike wouldn't get hurt by you, he loves fire. Think about it, fire and ice. Do you think they mix well?"

"No."

"Then what's holding you back?"

"I'm scared."

"Explain."

"I'm scared to hurt Ryan."

"Do you love Ryan?"

"Apart of me does."

"Exactly, but the other part hates him. What else?"

"I want to let you in, but I'm also scared of change."

"Dig deep inside of yourself, find what's in there."

"There's nothing."

"Exactly, a part of you is missing, let me in so you won't be empty. Ryan is what's holding you back from that. Stop worrying so much about hurting others when you're the one who's dead inside. So what do you say?"

"Give me time, I'll talk to Ryan and the guys."

I go downstairs, it must be late now. Ryan was sitting at the table with Dev and Josh.

"Oh good you're up." Devin hands me a bowl of chicken dumpling soup.

"Thanks Dev."

"Ricky I'm so sorry." Ryan pleads.

"Dont worry about it Ryan, shit happens." I left it with that and at my delicious food Devin made for me.

"Was Mike here?" Ryan asks.

"Yeah."

"Why was he here?" Ryan asked, he'd always had a bug up his ass about Mike.

"Ricky was freezing so he warmed him up." Ryan slowly nods his head, anger behind his eyes.

"What are you so pissed about." I ask, irritated.

"Nothing."

"Bullshit."

"I don't want you to be around Mike."

"I'll be around whoever the fuck I want."

"You fucking listen to me, you're mine not his."

"Excuse me? I'm not a piece of property you asshole."

He gets up and slaps me.

My back was against the wall, Ryan stood over me. No one else was home, that's when the monster came out.

"Fucking look at me, you are not aloud to go anywhere without me especially the Cerulis. Do you fucking understand."

"Yes."

"Yes what?"

"Yes I understand."

When I pushed out my negativity I also became blind to it. When something bad happened my mind turned it into something positive. Since I've been getting closer to my other half I'm remembering what I was blind to.

I need my other half.

"What the fuck!" Devin punches him in the face while Josh pulls me back, ready to step in if he had to.

For how dainty Devin seemed he could beat the fuck out of anyone. I'm sure he could take down Chris if he was mad enough.

Ryan got a few good punches in but he was no match. Josh had to pull Devin off so he didn't literally kill him.

"Ricky grab your stuff you're coming to my house."
