Nobody To Blame

Chapter 9

I felt like being nice to you guys who like my story and updating 2 days early, I hope you like this chapter! (: x

**Riker's POV**

I slammed my bedroom door shut and kicked my desk and stool over, making a loud crash, and papers land everywhere on the floor.

I was pissed at Rocky, and hurt, but mostly I was pissed at myself, I have slept with a girl before and just cut her off with no feelings, but it's different this time.

I caught feelings for Ava, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about her since that night.

"I'm going to hang out at Ava's, I'll see you guys later." I heard Rocky yell before shutting the front door.

I punched a hole in my wall and yelled out in pain and frustration.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ross yelled coming into my room and looking at the wall and the mess on the floor.

"I love her Ross, but I fucked up." I yelled, clenching my fists.

"Really Riker!? First you sleep with Rocky's crush, and now your claiming you 'love' her, give him a break." Ross replied and glared before leaving my room.

I sunk down onto my bed and rubbed my hands down my face, wincing at my bruised and bloody knuckles.

**Ava's POV**

"Sooo I know you haven't been to my house in weeks, and I know your reason but, Rydel wants me to invite you over tonight, said something about wanting to hang out in the pool.." Rocky said while we sat cuddling on the couch.

"Sure I'll go, what time?" I asked standing up and heading to my room to find my favorite swimming suit.

"8, I think." He replied following me, "Are you sure you want to go, Rydel will understand if you don't want to."

"It will be okay Rocky, I can't stop hanging out with my best friend just because I hate her brother, besides I have you now, he doesn't matter anymore." I smiled and kissed him.

I spotted my old swimming suit and grabbed it in success before frowning and looking at my sleeve covered arms.

"Their nothing to be ashamed of beautiful, you won the battle, but if your not comfortable I have bracelets in the car you can wear." Rocky said and hugged me from behind.

"I love you so much." I whispered and turned around to hug him tightly.

"I love you more, now let's go!" He winked and pulled me outside to his car laughing.

I sucked in a breath before following Rocky into the Lynch house.

Riker was sitting on the couch watching a movie, but took one look at me and got up and walked down the hall to his room.

"Go change I'll meet you in the pool" Rocky smiled and headed outside.

I changed quickly in the bathroom and opened the door to leave before I looked at the scars that went up and down both arms and hesitated.

I looked at my long sleeve shirt, debating whether or not to put it back on or leave it off and see what happens.

"Their not going to judge you."
