Chapter 22
Later...
Riker POV
"Rocky, wake up," I said, shaking him.
"What? I'm still asleep," Rocky groaned.
"You said wake you up if I need anything."
"Well what do you need?"
"I need to pee."
"So go."
"Come with me."
"Why?"
"I'm scared."
Rocky sighed.
"Ok, let's go," he said, sitting up.
Rocky walked me to the bathroom in the dark.
"Promise you'll wait right there until I'm done?" I asked.
"Yes, Riker..."
I shut the door and did my business. And Rocky was waiting for me, thank god. He walked me back to bed and I curled up beside him again.
"Rocky?"
"What?"
"Can we have the light on?"
"Riker, come on. Just go to bed. I'm right next to you. You're safe."
"But I'm scared."
"Rik, I'm right here. Don't worry."
I pulled the covers over my head and cuddled into Rocky's side.
"Are you sure we're safe?"
"Dude. It's just a movie. It's not real."
I grabbed onto his shirt and just held onto him for comfort. And I eventually fell back asleep.
Later...
Rocky POV
Riker's been on edge all day. It's the movie that's getting to him. He won't go near the living room, and he's practically glued to my side. He's becoming kind of needy, but... I guess it's ok. I just want him to feel better again.
"Rocky..."
"What, Rik?"
"My wrists are really sore..."
"We forgot to change your bandages last night. We should change them later and make sure nothing is infected. They're probably just sore because you did so much damage to them."
"They hurt..."
"You need to stop focusing on them. Let's do something to take your mind off of it, ok? What do you feel like doing?"
"I don't know..."
"Well what do you do when you're with Kelsey?"
"We just hang out and stuff. We don't do anything specific."
"Ok, well let's hang out then. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know... I'm cold."
"You're cold?"
"Yeah."
"How about you go change into something warmer, and I'll make us hot chocolate?"
"Ok."
Riker POV
I went up to our bedroom and changed into sweatpants and a hoodie. And when I went back downstairs, Rocky had made our hot chocolate.
