Roadtrip Oneshots (BxB)

Rack - Walls around me

Rye slammed his bedroom door, hands in his hair, pulling at it, trying to calm down.

He'd let him break his walls down. He'd let him earn his trust. And all fro what?

They were outside in the courtyard, sitting quietly and staring up at the stars. Jack had his arms wrapped around Rye's waist, pulling him close to his chest.

"Why won't you let me in Rye?" Jack sighed, kissing the top of his head.

"Because I can't afford to be hurt anymore Jack. I can't"

"I won't hurt you Ryan. But you need to stop pushing me away. You need to let me in. You need to let yourself go"

How could he have been so stupid. He promised himself that after what Harvey did to him, he wouldn't let anyone else in.

"Why don't you want to trust me? What are you so afraid of? and" Jack asked. Rye rolled over in his bed, facing his crush.

"I've been hurt before Jack. Everything you've told me I've heard before. I can't trust anymore"

"But why?" Jack pressed on.

"Because trusting someone means opening up. The more you open up the more the person has to use against you. The more you trust someone, the easier it is for them to break you"

That stupid Irish boy with his adorable smile, carefree attitude, soft brown hair, beautiful green eyes had wormed his way into his heart. Rooting himself there. Only to be ripped out.

"His name was David. The first guy I loved" Rye muttered, swirling the tea around in his cup. Jack hummed, leaning over so he could hear him better.

"His name was David. He made me believe I loved him. And that he loved me back. Turns out he had a vendetta against my brother and used me to get to him."

"Rye, you know I would never do that-"

"Then there was Harvey," Rye continued, ignoring Jack. "Harvey was amazing. I trusted him with my life. He was the only other person I told about David. He...left me. Without a bye or anything. I woke up and he was gone. I was shattered"

"I promised myself I wouldn't fall for anyone again. I built on these walls around me to stop people messing with my heart. Because I don't think I can take another break like that

He felt sick.
Physically sick to the point he was in his en-suite, heaving into the toilet bowl and sobbing and hiccuping.

"Jack?" Rye whispered, tears filling his eyes.

"Rye please. It's not what it looks like" Jack protested, moving away from her. She looked over at him, and all too smug smile on his face.

"You lied to me" Rye said, barely audible but Jack heard him.

"No rye please I didn't -" Jack moved to reach out for his arm. Rye quickly dodged his grip.

"Don't you touch me. Liar." Rye shook his eyes, trying to hold back his tears.

"Rye-"

"Shut up"

"Don't be like this"

"I SAID SHUT UP" Rye roared. He breathing sped up as he glared at Jack.

"You promised me you were different. You said you weren't like them. You said that you loved me" Rye ranted.

"I do Rye. I love you. Please"

"Liar. I don't want to see you again" Rye said, finally.

"No rye-"

"Goodbye Jack"

Rye sunk down on the bedroom floor, head in his knees as he sobbed. His walls around him building back up and he knew that this time, they would be impossible to break down.
