The Lights (A Rocky Lynch Story)

Chapter 27

Mary's POV

"Riker I-I have no idea what you mean." my voice was shaky and so was I.

"Mary you don't have to pretend anymore. If you tell Rocky now he'll be a little upset but he'd get over it."

"Riker I swear-" he cut me off.

"Save it. Rocky heard what the person said that night in the bathroom. You were the only one there. And your eyes. Their Rayne's color of blue. Seafoam." He looked at me seriously.

"Why would you put Rocky threw this. He's broken, he won't sing, dance or have fun. Poor Ell's dying without him. And what's worse is Ry cant get ahold of Lexi anywhere. She disappeared as soon as you did."

Lexi. The body. The burnt body they though was Rayne.
It was Lexi. Who would've killed her? I killed Sam and his gang. I shivered at the thought of what I had done. I had nightmares. That only left one person. My dad.

I realized I must've spaced out cause Riker was waving his hand in front of my face.

"Hey earth to Rayne."

I grabbed his hand and spat, " Rayne's dead. She died when her mom did. It's Mary now."

He got white and pulled his arm away.

"Sorry Mary."

"So the body, do you know who it was?"

I swallowed, "Lexi." Was all i said.

Riker broke down crying I comforted him the best i could.

"W-we have to- to tell Rocky wh- who you really are."

"Please Riker you can't," my voice was barley a whisper. "All the danger he was in while I was her. I almost got him killed. I almost got his family, you, killed. I can't put him though that again. It's better that he mourns her and gets over her."

"Why do you keep referring you to her?"

"Because. She was a scared little girl. Abused. Broken. Weak. Im stronger. Brave. Im not some little girl anymore." I said while not looking at him.

"You should still tell Rocky."

"Riker," I ran a hand threw my hair. "She's dead. I may have the same body, but im not her. Rayne really is dead. Im Mary now."

I knew it was a bad idea to stay here.

"Fine. Ill tell him for you."

My eyes must've flashed dangerously, "No," I said forcefully. " he can't know. Riker promise me that you won't tell him. It would destroy him."

Riker thought for a moment.

"Fine, but only if you can get him out of his depression."

"And how do you suppose I do that?"

"Well for starters you can become his friend. Then well she were destiny takes it."

Oh geez.
