Ryan -1:36 am-
i've been tossing and turning for hours now. everytime i do get comfortable, i replay the situation with the guy earlier. i know he's not here. but it feels like it. like he's close. skate and derek beat the shit out of him and then had a couple other guys escort him out. one of them drove him away but they didn't tell me where to. all i know is that it was handled. that's what derek told me at least.
"you still awake?" i glance towards the door and see Jack standing there.
"i can't sleep." i say softly. the tree that's outside my window sways and one of the branches hit the window. i jump. that's the fifth time it's happened.
"do you wanna switch rooms?" he asks. i stay quiet. i just don't wanna be alone.
"you can come lay in the bed. i'll sleep on the floor or something." he says. i nod. i grab my blanket and phone and we then walk to the guest room. i lay down in the bed and Jack sits down in the chair. he begins to scroll through his phone and i get comfy.

Jack -10 minutes later-
i look up and see that ryan is out. i turn my phone off and try and get comfortable. but just as i do, i hear ryan stirring and then she let's out a sigh.
"i can't get it out of my head." she sounds like she's crying. 
"ryan..." i trail.
"i should've had derek take it up or someone come with me because then it wouldn't had happened." she's crying at this point. hard. i sigh and get up walking over to the bed. i get under the covers and pull her to me. she immediately gets as close as she can. i play with her hair and rub her back as she cries
"none of it was your fault." i say. she sniffles
"i just shouldn't have gone alone. it could've been so much worse." she says.
"skate saw the guy follow you. nothing worse would've happened." i say. it's true. when ryan walked away, the guy followed after her. i didn't think twice about it but skate did, and after a couple minute it got the best of him and he took off upstairs. me and a couple of the guys followed. ryan was a mess when we got there and her dress was up. skate beat the shit out of the guys and then derek did too. i don't know what happened after that, but i know if skate had a say, the guys probably long gone by now. dead already or almost. at this point i realize ryan's asleep. she's still snuggled to me. i get comfortable without moving much. i missed nights like these.
