Trapped

Ryan? *Chapter 10*

***Real Quick! I have nothing against Ryan or any of the people I put in the story. It's just for the book. Ok, thank you, and enjoy!***

It has been about three months since Shane and I have heard from Ryan or Marielle. Shane and I have been spending a lot of time together once the boys put Unsolved on a break once nobody is getting along. I sigh and lean back on the couch. Shane went shopping a while ago and still hasn't come back. I wanted to call him, but I didn't want to sound clingy. I look over at the wall and see a perfect space. I sit up quickly with a glint of excitement in my eyes. I picture a white baby grand piano there. I loved the piano. It was beautiful and I learned to play it when I was really young. I was so focused on how a piano would fit in the room that I didn't hear Shane come in. "Babe?" he asks placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Bloody hell!" I scream, jumping from the couch. Shane starts to laugh a little bit while I hold my heart. 

"Are you alright?" he asks.

"Yes," I say, "I think so."

"Why were you staring over there?" Shane asks me.

"A piano would fit perfectly right there," I say.

"Babe, we live in an apartment building," Shane says sadly.

"Then we start saving up for a house," I say, looking at him.

"Just for a piano?" Shane starts laughing and I do too. I shrug.

"You'd be surprised at my talents," I say shrugging. Shane narrows his eyes at me skeptically.

"I'm scared," Shane says. We both bust out laughing and Shane sits up. "I like the idea actually. Let's start saving up then." I smile and hug Shane. He kisses the top of my head and we turn the TV on and start watching Netflix.

About an hour later, there's a knock on our door. I sit up from my position laying on Shane's lap. "Did you invite someone over?" Shane asks.

"Not that I remember," I mumble, "I'll get it." There's another knock. "Coming!" I call out. I walk over to the door and open it. In front of me stand Ryan, his beard has grown out a little bit, his hair is longer too. "Ryan," I whisper in disbelief.

"Babe!? Who's at the door?" Shane calls out. My hand shakes a little bit as I turn over my shoulder to call out.

"Please... I'm sorry, but, please. I need help," Ryan whimpers. 

"What about Marielle?" I grumble.

"She left me..." he whispers.

"Come in," I say.

"Babe!" Shane calls out worriedly.

"Yeah! I'm ok!" I call back, "Um... Can you come out here?" Shane jogs out and stops dead in his tracks. I walk over to Shane and stand next to him.

"What do you want?" Shane growls.

"Shane," I whisper, "Let him explain. just, relax." Ryan starts to shake and he breaks down crying.

"Sh-she left me! You guys were right. I should've listened to you guys. I'm so sorry. She took everything... She took the house and everything. I'm useless!" Ryan sobs, falling to the ground. Shane's face softens at the sight of his friend. I carefully walk over to Ryan and kneel down in front of him.

"Ryan?" I say softly. He looks up at me, "It's ok. We forgive you. Yes, what you did was wrong, but, you don't deserve to be treated like she treated you. It's better for you." Ryan nods slowly and Shane kneels next to me. He puts his hand out for Ryan to take. Ryan takes it and Shane pulls Ryan off the floor. Ryan stands in front of Shane, looking at him with a hint of fear.

"I've missed ya buddy," Shane says, pulling Ryan into a bro hug. I stand from my place on the floor and walk to the guest bedroom, where I was staying. I grab the few things that were extremely important out of the room and placed them in an empty drawer in Shane's room. I walk out of the rooms and go back out to the living room.

"I mean, not to seem rude, but the only place we have space is on-" I quickly cut Shane off.

"In the guest bedroom," I say.

"That's where you sleep though?" Ryan asks.

"Shane and I have shared a bed a few times due to nightmares and sleepless nights. I think we'll be fine," I say, smiling. Shane smiles back. 

"Welp," Shane says clapping his hands, "Let's get Riley's stuff out of the guest room and into mine." We all get to work and move everything from the guest bedroom to the master bedroom. About two hours later, we're all done.

"I think I'm going to go to bed guys, I'm pretty tired," Ryan yawns.

"Ok, sleep well," I say.

"Night," Shane says. Ryan goes into his room and Shane and I sit on his- our, bed. 

"I have an idea," I say.

"I do too," Shane chuckles. I laugh a little and turn to Shane. "On three?" he asks. 

"This is going to be complete chaos... On three," I agree. 

"One," Shane says.

"Two," I say.

"Three," we both say. 

"I think we should get a house and let Ryan have the apartment," Shane and I say. We look at each other and start laughing.

"Let's start looking then, yeah?" Shane asks. I nod and grab my laptop. We search up houses for sale in this area or around it. I smile and lean into Shane as we start scrolling through houses.
