A Touch of Saintwood (Wattpad Version)

Out of control

Ryker's POV

After that day in Ryder's room, things got bad between me and everyone. I didn't talk to anyone and when I did come into contact with anyone, we fought. Our fathers had to usually intervene.

It got so bad that a brawl broke out at granddad's house especially when Zackery showed up with others. Everything was a blur as my rage fueled me. I wanted to kill him.

It took granddad and dad to hold me down.

"Ryker! Look at me!" Dad barked. I turned and looked at him, "son you got to stop."

"I-I." I broke. I broke into a million pieces. I didn't know how to handle it. So many emotions were running over me and I felt like I was drowning.

"What's wrong with him," Chase asked.

Dad looked at me as I sobbed and said, "he has bi-polar."

Everyone went dead silent as my sobs filled the room. I just wanted it to stop. Everything. I couldn't handle it anymore. It was too much.

"Ryker, it's going to be okay," JJ said as he helped me up. Him and dad took me upstairs. I didn't understand anything. I don't even know what bi-polar was. I just knew my emotions were consuming me.

I sat on the bed as JJ took a seat in a chair.

"Talk to me Ryker."

The thing was I couldn't. I couldn't even think straight. We sat there all night as I stared in front of me. Every time someone spot, I felt like I was going to explode. I just wanted the emotions to stop.

I wanted to be left alone. I just wanted it all to stop.

Dad and JJ got up and left me there to just be alone. They went out into the hallway.

"JJ, can you help him?"

"Drew, he won't talk to me. I can't help if he doesn't talk."

"What am I going to do?"

"Give him time. Don't push. He has to talk in his own time. If it gets bad, get ahold of my dad."

"I just feel like I'm going to lose him," he said with worry.

"Drew, bi polar is a tricky thing. Until they seek help all you can do is support them. I've seen it to the point when the patients were really bad before they sought help. Just be patience," he advise before leaving.

Dad walked back into the room and took a seat next to me. We just sat there. I didn't want to see anyone.

*********
After that night, I closed myself off from everyone. Dad would sit with me as I stared out the window. I didn't want to talk. I just wanted to be alone but he refuse that to happen. So he sat with me.

It didn't matter because nothing was going to change. I was done.

Drew's POV

Every time Ryker tried to push me away, I pushed back. It was a tug of war with him. His emotions were all over the place.

I sat with him as he dealt with the isolation he created. I watched him shut down completely. My boy was battling and losing.

I sat with him as he stared out of the window. I didn't say anything but stayed. The nights were even worse. He would scream and cry as his emotions wrecked havoc with him. Liz was terrified and Ryanne and Ryder didn't know what to do but I stuck it out.

Finally I called Jordan. I wanted Ryker to have some relief. Jordan made me leave while he handled Ryker.

"Ryker?"

"Stop talking! God I can't stand it!"

"Ryker look at me."

He turned and looked at Jordan, "it's okay. They're just emotions but we are going to help you."

He blinked as Jordan pulled out a syringe and bottle. Then all hell broke loose. Ryker flew into a rage and it took me and Ryan to hold him down while Jordan administered the medicine to him.

He fought until the medicine kicked in and he fell asleep. We picked him up and put him into bed.

The three of us stood there, "how long has he not been sleeping," Jordan asked.

"A few hours here and there. The nights are worse. Liz is terrified and Ryder and Ryanne don't know what to do," I said to him.

"He should start feeling better after getting sleep. If it gets bad, call me," he said as he grabbed his supplies and left.

I sat down in a chair and watched him sleep. I was beyond exhausted.

"Drew, go get sleep. I'll stay with him," Ryan said.

"Thanks," I said as I got up.

I walked out of the room as the rest of my family looked at me. I grabbed them and hugged them. We all knew Ryker had a battle ahead of him but all we could do was be there for him.

I hated that girl for what she did. She destroyed my family. Everything was fine until she showed up. That day that Ryker almost beat her to death, Matt and RJ took her and dropped her off at the hospital. I prayed to god, we never saw her again. Maybe then we could get our life back. Maybe then we could find peace from the destruction he left in her path.

Whatever happened now, it didn't matter, things were greatly altered between the boys and never would be the same again.

Looks things have to get worse before they get better. Get ready because the lead in to the book Ryker is next.
