It feels like a large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Ryder is in love with me, and he loves me! If I wasn't in such of a bad situation, I'd seriously do a happy dance. Someone's out to kill me. Wait, there are tons of people out to kill me. They just don't have the balls.

I crawled out after Wyatt, my bag dragging against the floor. We finally got out of the room, and I basically ran towards Blake & Erwin's room. I bursted through the door, and they immediately jumped up. "What the hell is happening?" Blake asks.

"Someone's out to- shit, duck!" I yell, my body hitting the floor once again. Daniel stands up stupidly just as the shooter across the street aims.

"What's going on?" Daniel asks. I hit the back of his legs and he falls down to the ground just as bullets spray the entire wall. Glass sprinkles down onto him, and I think a bullet grazed him because he screams out in pain. Everyone has already evacuated the room, so now I'm left in the room with Daniel.

I grab his arm and drag him closer to me. "If you wanted me so bad, you could have asked!" Daniel grins weakly at me. I stand up and drag him on the ground to get him out the door.

"Sorry, I have my eyes set on Ryder." I inform him, not sorry at all. I drag him out of the room, accidentally bumping my ass into a hard chest. Blake playfully taps my ass.

"Ooo, nice view. Me likey." Blake chuckles. I slap his arm and drop Daniel onto the ground with a small thud. Daniel groans in pain while I shrug.

"Really," I deadpan. He grins widely at me in the hallway, and Ryder suddenly appears with an emotionless look on his face. Erwin was behind him, with Tristan, Ash, Wyatt, and Quincy trailing behind him. I raise an eyebrow at Quincy, silently asking him what was up with Ryder but he merely shook his head.

We all form a circle, and Erwin's face is so serious I begin to think this isn't Erwin. "We need to get out of here, and fast." He tells us sternly. I snort.

"No, we were planning on staying here!" I gasp sarcastically, putting a hand on my chest with fake disbelief on my face. They give me deadpan looks.

"Look, you know what I say? I say we find somewhere else to stay in this town, and figure a few things out. We need to locate Michael, Penelope, and Atlanta before something bad happens." I suggest.

"If we bring them here, isn't that putting them in even more danger?" Blake retorts.

"It's better for them to be in danger with us, then without us." I argue. Blake narrows his eyes at me.

"I vote against this, who's with me?" Blake asks everyone. I throw my hands into the air exasperatedly. I roll my eyes.

"You just don't want Penelope here. I don't care if she's your ex girlfriend or girlfriend, she needs to get her ass here along with Michael & Atlanta," I bark at Blake. Blake gets into my face, causing me to raise an eyebrow. Blake's punches hurt like a bitch, but I won't be punked by anyone. Daddy ain't raise no bitch.

"You're trying to lead Michael on, I knew it!" Blake laughs in my face. He pushes me back hard, and I fall onto the ground. Everyone's watching, not bothering to help me. I get up, and dust myself off.

"Don't touch me." I tell him. He pushes me harder again, and I frown. Blake's really pushing his luck, no pun intended. I stand up again, and tell him firmer.

"Don't. Push. Me."

"Or what?" He challenged, looking me dead in the eye. He balled his fist up and swung at me which I quickly dodged. He used his other fist to try and swing, but I caught his fist and kicked his family jewels. He groaned, and went onto his knees clutching his prized jewels. I slap his face, and he falls onto the floor. I look up at everyone else who had scooted back away from me.

"Anyone else wanna challenge me today? Speak now or forever hold your peace." No hands go up, and Daniel suddenly said something.

"Damn that was hot." Erwin whacked his head for that one, which he glared at him for that.

I nodded my head. "Good. Everyone grab your things, we'll meet in the lobby. Be careful you guys." I tell them and they quietly grab their things from the rooms. Ryder walks over to me, and grabs my wrists gently. He pins me to the wall, my wrists above my head.

"You're mine." He growled lowly. I bit my lip sexily, and looked down at his lips.

"Mhm." I tell him, and he leaned in closer to me. He almost kissed me, but not quite. He whispered something instead.

"Don't you forget it." He whispers then let's me go. I frown.

"You little tease!" I growl at him. Ryder laughs at me, and wraps his around me from behind.

"Can I ask you something?" Ryder says, planting his face into the crook of my neck. I smile large.

"Yeah, sure."

I get the feeling someone's watching us, so I look over Ryder's shoulder to see the guy I met in the elevator watching us from the closet. I don't think he noticed me watching him, since he was so focused on my ass.

I turn in Ryder's arms, and drop my voice to a whisper. "Someone's in the closet, on my count, we'll open the closet. Okay?" Ryder nods.

"1," I count softly.

"2," Ryder continues.

"3," we say in unison. Ryder pulls out his gun, and aims it at the closet.

"Out. Now." Ryder says in a threatening tone, and bullets start flying out of someone's gun. Elevator guy fires his own round, and 2 bullets hit Ryder in the chest. Ryder goes down, and I scream so loud, I'm pretty sure the entire hotel heard me. Elevator guy runs down the hallway, and I drop onto my knees cradling Ryder's head in my arms.

"Stay awake, baby." I tell him, while applying pressure to his wounds. Ryder yawns sleepily.

"I promise I will." Ryder's eyes droop closed.

"No, no. Baby, stay awake." I shake Ryder, and no movement. I touch his heart, feeling his beating heart slow down. I held him there in my arms, and it felt like the room was getting dizzy. I laid him down on the floor softly, and put my body on top of his. I put my ear where his heart was, and his blood was getting all onto my clothes. I didn't care, because the love of my life was about to die. I wrapped my arms around his torso, and tears slid down my face.

"Stay with me." I whisper. His heart slows to a pause. I sniff, and close my eyes reluctantly, thinking of seeing his vibrant green eyes.
