My Best Friend's Brother { 9 }

Jessica

I storm straight into Ricky's room, slamming his door shut behind me. Ricky shouts up in his bed, the book he was reading falls to the ground.

"Jess, what's wrong?" He asks, sitting up on his knees.

I stand in front of his door with my feet planted. I throw an arm out and point angrily towards the door.

"I want him out," I grit out, tears beading in my eyes.

"Who?" Ricky looks at me confused.

"Ryan. I want him out of this house now."

"What? Why?"

I stomp my foot. "God dammit, Ricky. It's either him or me because I swear to god if he won't leave them I will." I go to turn around but suddenly Ricky is by my side, grabbing my wrist.

"Jess. Tell me what the hell is going on. I'm confused."

Shaking my head, I choke back a sob.
"I already told you. You wouldn't understand."

Ricky shakes his head. "Then make me."
He drags us to his bed. We sit facing each other on our knees.

I bring my hands up to my face, hiding. I shake my head 'no'.
Gently, Ricky pulls my wrists down and stares into my eyes.
Staring back, I find myself breaking.

"He broke me, Ricky. He broke me," I cry.

I fall into his chest as he rubs my back.
"We went to high school together. He made my life a living hell. He built me up and then destroyed me." I sit up on my knees and grasp Ricky's face between my palms. "You can't let Alex date him. He'll only hurt her."

He opens his mouth before closing it. This process repeats a couple of times before he settles on, "What?"

I stand up and run a hand through my hair. "I knew you wouldn't believe me." I chuckle weakly. "So fucking stupid."

Ricky goes to speak but I cut him off. "No. You don't understand. Ryan ruined me. I can't believe you. I was in a mental institution for 2 weeks because of him. I was suicide watch by my own parents for a year straight because of him! He killed the girl I was! He ripped out her heart and shattered it to dust right in front of me!"
I take a breath. "All this fucking time he has been terrorizing me and I can't it anymore!"

I throw my hands in the air.
"I'm done!"

Done with the whole situation, I go to turn but Ricky has other plans. He yanks on my wrist and next thing I knew, his pierced lips were planted on mine.
