My Bad Boy Roommate

Chapter Fifteen

"-when I said I was out, I meant it, you know that."

It was Ryder.

"Shut the hell up! Keep her out of this, she's not important to me anymore."

My breathing increased, was he talking about me? Did he have lover running around? 

"Stay out of my life and Shay's!" His voice came out in a growl, as he slammed something into the wall, so he was talking about me. I felt my mood drop, so that means I mean nothing to him?

I scooted away from the wall, before accidentally falling backward off the bed. 

"Shay?"

The pain started to grow as I rolled over, groaning.

"Shit."

When I opened my eyes, Ryder was leaning above me, worry in his eyes. 

"Oh my God, are you alright?"

I wanted him away from me, he said I was nothing, we kissed, and now I was nothing? I wanted away from him.

"Get away."  I whispered, Ryder flinched away, confusion in his eyes.

"Why?"

I pushed myself up, feeling the bruises that we bound to show up soon. 

"I can't take your mood swings anymore. I'm going to the barn."

Ryder was bewildered, "The barn? You're hurt! And my mood swings?"

"I fell off a damn bed," I rolled my eyes, "I wasn't shot or anything."

Ryder stood in front of the door, anger in his features.

"No, you never will accept me to worry about you and it kills me! I need to worry about you, I think about you all the time and I can't take this distance between us anymore! I can't take being nothing to you."

I looked for lies, or anything to show how much of a joke this looked like. Ryder didn't like me, nor would he respect me or my wishes. He's playing a deadly game, and I refuse to play in it with him.

"But you're wrong, Ryder, I'm nothing but a conquest, a game to you. You think I mean something but I don't, I'm only something that you want because it isn't running for you or begging for you. I won't be a girl you can toss around and decide when you want her or if you want her. I have feelings, and I refuse to let you trample on them."

Ryder bit his lip before stepping closer to my body, "What about me, huh? You think that I am all this bad stuff and I'm not! You don't know me well enough, but yet I've trusted you with some pretty dark secrets of mine, and you have told me a few stories about yourself. Yet, you tell me you have feelings and all this mess, well so do I!"

"I have never done anything that would show that I do not value your feelings." I bit back.

"What about your little boytoy you had over the other day, huh? The day after I trusted you then kissed you! Damn it, I really care about you, and you have no idea how selfish that is of me, but I do, and you throw me in the dirt like that?"

He thinks Ansel is my boytoy? Rude.

"Ansel is my friend! He was new and we hit it off, it does not mean I am going to go after him just because he's a boy with a beating heart. That night meant the world to me too, but you never asked me anything, you just assume!"

Ryder took a deep breath before walking past me to the bed that lied on the floor for him. He didn't look at me as he spoke.

"I care about you, and that's a danger to you, but I was willing to keep you safe then I walk in to see you holding hands with a new boy? Of course I jumped to conclusions. You're beautiful, Shay, guys must be fighting to get a minute of your time."

I blushed at his compliment before resting my body next to his on the navy blue sheets.

"That's sweet but no, and I wouldn't do that. How is it dangerous? Because of your gang?"

Before we could finish talking my bedroom door burst open, my mother bouncing in. 

"I have news! Get up both of you! Today, Ryder, you are going to school with Shay."

My jaw dropped in surprise as I heard Ryder muffle, "shit."
