I Need To Be Loved (Ricky Horror Fan Fic) [Book #1]

Crash This Car

In my rage, I started speeding. I usually would’ve went extra slow with Cameron in the car, but all I could think about was how Ricky betrayed me. He lied to me. He never loved me. You don’t cheat on someone you love. My vision started to bluer with tears as I pictured Ricky fucking some slut. She was probably pretty; way prettier than me. I was flying past stop signs I should’ve stopped at. The sound of my sniffling and heavy breathing filled the small car. I was crying so hard by that time that I didn’t see another car coming until it was too late. I slammed on he brakes, but the other driver seemed to totally ignore my existence until the front of his car was colliding into the side of my car. The last thing I felt was broken glass slicing into my skin and my head banging into the top of the car before everything went black.

****************************************************************************************************

When I opened my eyes,  I was practically blinded by a bright white light. I could hear a steady beeping sound as my sense started to work again. “You’re awake,” someone noticed. I looked over to see a lady dressed in scrubs. She was holding a clipboard and giving me a sympathetic smile.

I was about to ask what happened when the memory of the car crashing into me flooded back into my mind. The intense pounding in my head seemed to remind me of the horrid incident. “Where’s my daughter?” I asked in a panic as Cameron popped into my mind. What if she was hurt?

“She’s fine, Ms. Davis. One of the other nurses is looking after her. We couldn’t find anyone to call, so if you need to call someone, we can get you your cell phone,” she respond. I blew out a sigh of relief when she said Cameron was ok. I could never forgive myself if something happened to her because of my reckless driving.

“Thank you. I can call my friend,” I told her. I knew Jeremy would be over here in the blink of an eye when he heard what happened. Since Ricky was the last person I wanted to see and I didn’t want a lecture from my mum and aunt, Jeremy was my only option.

After she retrieved my cell phone, I dialed Jeremy’s number. “Hey,” he greeted. He was probably thinking I was calling him to hang out or something.

“Hey. Can you come to the hospital?” I responded. I could feel a sheepish grin creep on my lips. I was a tad ashamed about my terrible behavior.

“What happened? Are you ok?” he asked, his voice going from calm to alarmed in a matter of seconds. Being the responsible, careful one out of out group, the rest of the band rarely had to worry about me. I guess our rolls were reversed for once.

“I got in a car accident, but I think I’m fine. I think the doctor’s coming into to talk to me soon,” I responded calmly. Jeremy could be quite the worrier. He was more like a protective older brother sometimes instead of my best friend.

“Ok, I’ll be there as soon as I can,” he promised before we hung up. As if on cue, a doctor opened the door with a wide smile.

“How’re you feeling, Ms. Davis?” he questioned. Everyone calling me ‘Ms. Davis’ made me a bit uncomfortable, but I guess it was just common courtesy.

“My head hurts,” I replied. I was sure it was just from hitting my head during the accident. I was almost worried about Cameron, even though the nurse told me she was fine. If I was hurt, I was afraid she was in pain, too.

“We’ll get you some pain medication then. You hit your head pretty hard. I was surprised it wasn't worse,” he told me, scribbling something down on the clipboard in his large hands. Before he could say anything else, the door burst open and Jeremy ran in.

“Midnight, are you ok?” he blurted when he saw me. The doctor let out a chuckle at Jeremy’s panicked expression. Even though he was overreacting, it was nice to have a friend who cared so much.

“She’s going to be fine. She just hit her head. Other than that, she’s just got some cuts and bruises,” he replied for me. Jeremy took a seat in one of the uncomfortable-looking black plastic chairs before letting out a sigh. He looked so stressed out that it made me feel back for putting him through this.

“Can I have my daughter now?” I questioned. She hadn’t left my mind this whole time and I needed to see her to believe she was ok. Call me an overprotective mother, but most women would do the same.

“I’ll have one of the nurses bring her in,” the doctor replied with a smile before leaving the room. As soon as he left, Jeremy turned to me with an upset face.

“What happened? I was so worried when you called me. Why didn’t you call Ricky?” he rambled. In our many years of friendship. I had never seen him so worked up.

“I had a fight with Ricky and I needed to get away from so I got in the car and was so angry and I was crying so my vision was all blurry and I ran a stop sign and another car ran into me,” I explained in a hurry. I felt like a such a bad person. I not only put myself in danger, but my daughter and everyone else on the road. Thinking about it just made it worse.

“Oh, Midnight,” he trailed off. Before he could scold me, a nurse came in carrying Cameron’s carrier. Seeing her made me feel ten times better. She always brought a smile to my face.

“Thank you,” I told the nurse gratefully as she set the carrier on the ground. I of course made Jeremy hand her to me. I gave her a big kiss on the forehead, noticing the few scratches her perfect face now held.

“What happened with Ricky?” Jeremy questioned curiously. It seemed that now that he knew Cameron was ok, he was ready to move away from the subject, which I was thankful for. Talking about it just made everything seem worse, but so did the question he just asked.

“He…uh…he…he cheated on,” I answered in a stammer. My voice was barely above a whisper and I had to blink to hold back tears. Just thinking about it made me feel used and foolish. He had lied to me; told me he loved me; and I believed him like a naive little girl. How could I have been so stupid?

“He cheated on you? Was it with Megan?” he exclaimed. He looked as shocked as I felt. I thought I would be with Ricky forever. Well, at least a really long time.

“I don’t think it was Megan. I’m pretty sure she went back home. He didn’t tell me who it was. I left before he had the chance,” I replied. I don’t think I could’ve stayed in the same flat with him any longer than I had. He betrayed me.

“I seriously don’t believe he would do that. I seriously thought he was a good guy,” he murmured. So, he had deceived everyone, not just me. “I think you need to call him,” he said suddenly.

“What?” I exclaimed in astonishment. I never wanted to talk to him again. Why the hell would I call the man who broke my heart? It felt like he had ripped it out of my chest and stomped its delicateness into a million tiny pieces.

“You said it yourself. It’s not just about you anymore. You have Cameron to worry about. Don’t you think you should at least try to sort things out? For Cameron’s sake?” he justified. As much as he did have a point, I had no desire to see or talk to Ricky.

“Not now. I need time to cool down. Maybe I’ll talk to him when I get out of the hospital,” I replied half-heartedly. The chance of me actually trying to mend things with Ricky was slim.

“Fine, but you two need to talk this out. Cameron deserves to have parents who love each other,” Jeremy pestered. Even though I didn’t want to, I knew I needed to make things better. He was right.

Suddenly, his phone rand and he jumped up from his seat before excusing himself. He came back not too long afterwards and sat back down. Fortunately, we were able to keep the conversation off of Ricky for a pretty long time. That is until the door opened. I looked up, thinking maybe Jeremy had called Blake or something when he went out to take his call. Instead of seeing one of my friends, though, I saw a man with long tangled black hair, blue eyes brimmed heavily with black eyeliner, and lips set in a frown. I saw the last person I wanted to see: Ricky.

AN: I just want to let you guys know that this story will be coming to a close shortly. There will most likely be one or two more chapters before an epilogue. Do you guys want a sequel? If so, what do you want the plot to be?
