Wanting Officer Barkley

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

Dylan's POV

I woke up on the couch feeling empty, and something didn't feel right.

I sat myself up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I messed up big time. Why did I have to be so nosey and why couldn't I leave well enough alone? I told myself that it was to protect Riley but, now I regret it. I had to make things right.

I got up off of the couch and walked to the bedroom. I knocked on the door but there was no reply. "Riley? Come on please. I want to talk to you." Still no reply.

I opened the door and walked in hoping to see Riley but she wasn't there and the whole house was silent. "Riley!" I yelled fear consuming my whole body.

I ran around the house checking every room to see if she was there but she wasn't. I even ran outside to see if she was getting fresh air and she wasn't, but I also noticed my truck missing too.

"Damn." I muttered and ran back into the house and picked up my cellphone. I quickly dialed her number and sighed in relief when she answered.

"Hello?" She said, her voice sounding so little and croaked almost as if she was crying.

"Riley baby, where are you?" I asked softening my voice.

"I'm sorry Dylan, I didn't mean to, but I had to get away." My heart seemed to stop at those words.

"It's okay baby but you gotta tell me where you are." I said trying to make my voice sound strong but it was getting harder and harder.

"I'm driving back to he house now. I needed to see my mother. I-" Her voice was replace by screeching of tires and screams.

"RILEY! RILEY! Baby answer me!" There was a loud bang and then the line went dead. "Riley! Riley?" There was nothing but a dead line.

I quickly through my phone down, breaking it in the process. I had no car, no bike, no means of transportation and Riley was hurt. I walked outside and heard fire engines and saw red and blue light. I began to run towards that direction despite my legs crying in pain and I saw the worse thing imaginable right before my eyes.

I fell to my knees. "Riley."

Riley's POV

I sat in the hospital and listened to the sound of my mother's heart monitor. I grabbed her cold hand and put it in my warm one.

"You got to help me. Tell me what to do." I waited to see if there was movement, a sound, anything. But the room remain silent.

"You always said you would be there for me.  You said that there was going to be hard times in my life that I was going to face challenges. Is this what you meant, mom? Did you mean that my life was going to be at stake? That I was going to be working on the streets in order to keep you alive. What mom? Tell me!" I felt my body shake with sobs.

"Please tell me. Please." I whispered and laid my head on her bed.
I suddenly felt a twitch on my hand and when I looked. My mom's hand was gripping mine for dear life. Her heart monitor was going crazy.

"Mom!" I yelled and tried to reach for her but something was pulling me away.

I looked back and found a male nurse dragging me out of the room while doctors surrounded her trying to bring her body back to life.

"What's going on!" I yelled at the nurse as he dragged me to the hallway.

"Your mother has a strain on her heart. Something triggered it and now we have complications." I felt faint.

"Why the fuck didn't anyone inform me."

"We tried the number you gave us wasn't available." My home phone, well my old home phone, was what he was talking about and I wasn't there to answer it. They probably shut it off all together.

"What do we do?" I whispered and he shrugged.

"It's in God's hands." He whispered. "I'm sorry." Was the last thing he said before walking away.

I ran my fingers through my hair and resisted the urge to scream and throw every thing that stood in my way. So instead, I walked out, and to Dylan's truck.

"SON OF A BITCH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs making people who were passing by look at my car.
I squeezed the steering wheel tight and drove my way home. I let the tears run down my eyes and the sobs shake my body.

My phone rang, and I quickly sucked up my tears the best I could and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked trying to sound strong.

"Riley baby where are you?" It was Dylan and he sounded so hurt.

"Dylan I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I had to get away." I explained and sniffled.

"It's okay baby, but you gotta tell me where you are." He sounded worried.

God, I caused everybody I loved pain. I was about to apologize again when suddenly I heard the sound of tires going too fast for my liking and before I could process what was going on I was rolling down a hill. Bouncing up and down my head hit the roof of the car, then the window, and then the steering wheel, until it finally came to a stop and I was held upside down.

Red liquid dripped from my head and I was seeing two of everything. I tried to move but there was so much pain that I couldn't even breathe.

"H-h-help me." I could only call out in a whisper.

I heard the sound of leaves crunching and I knew someone was coming my way. "S-stay away from me." The man or woman bent down in my car but before I could see the face I felt the darkness and tiredness take over my body.
