I walked into the bathroom where Leah and Liz were trying to get the blood out of her hair from the cuts in her head.

Rain sat in the tub look traumatized with her knees pulled up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs with her head laying on her knees; basically curled up into a little ball.

Leah and Liz looked at me and I said "Sorry, I-I'll come in l-later" then starting to back out.

"It's fine Ryker" Leah sighed "We were just rinsing her hair".

Rain didn't even bother to look up at me; and she just stared ahead.

We saw she cracked her head a bit; Liz told us he threw her up against a wall too so that caused it.

Let along all the cuts she has from the glass bottle that he smacked her over the head with.

"Ryker, can you give us your shirt? We don't have any extra clothes here" Liz said as she grabbed a towel.

I sighed and grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head and handed it to Liz.

Rain took a towel and wrapped it around her quickly before anyone saw anything.

"Alright, will let you get changed" Leah sighed, and then pushed us all out, of the bathroom and into the main room where everyone was sitting around waiting impatiently.

"Is she okay"? Neil, Vince, Peter, Will, Reece, and Craig all asked as they shot up and asked with concern.

"Yeah; she's getting changed" Liz informed them and they all sighed in relief and sat back down; on the furniture.

"I can't believe her dad, would do that..." Vince muttered.

"Yeah, what was it even about"? Neil asked and Liz tensed up and hesitated "S-she can tell you that, she'll get mad if I tell you".

"Liz, for Christ-sakes! I think you can tell us why her dad beat her to a bloody pulp!" I yelled.

There were footsteps coming and everyone became silent and I turned around and Rain walked in with her hair dry but a bit damp and my shirt with leggings.

She pressed her lips in a thin line and blinked a few times, as she averted her attention towards the floor and stared down at it and mumbled something along the lines of "You".

We all raised an eyebrow and she looked up and her eyes met mine "It was about you, Ryker" she said with her voice cold and you could tell she was holding back tears.

"I fucking stood up for you, because I'm a fucking idiot!" She exclaimed and rolled her eyes at herself in frustration.

I saw tears prick her eyes and she looked away from me and off to the side and ran a hand threw her brown long hair.

I walked closer to her and pulled her into a hug, and she sniffled into my chest as she began to cry, and I hugged her tightly and rested my chin on her shoulder "Rain-".

"Please don't-" She cried and stepped back and I wiped her tears with my thumb.

"Rain" Melanie asked as she held a stuffed-bear in one hand and tugged on the hem of Rain's shirt...well my shirt.

Rain looked down at her and Melanie asked "Why are you crying"? with innocence in her voice, and she gave a concerned look.

Rain wiped a few tears that escaped her eyes and picked Melanie up and smiled weakly "No reason".

Melanie hugged her tightly; and I looked at Leah, Reece, and Faith shocked. Melanie doesn't normally take to new people well; she's still getting use to Craig, but she's so comfortable around Rain and I have no idea why.

Melanie pulled back from the hug, and looked at me and asked "Ryker, do you love Rain"?

The guys held back there laughs as Faith, Leah, and Liz smacked them over the heads. Rain's eyes widened and she blushed, then looking down.

She was cute when she blushed...

I laughed and said sarcastically "Yes Melanie, I love Rain" then kissing Rain's forehead, and she was bright red and bit her lip as she looked nervous.

I rolled my eyes playfully at her reaction, and walked into the kitchen.

"We have to report her dad!" Peter exclaimed.

"Yeah, we're going to report the sheriff to the sheriff...don't thinks that's going to work, Peter"! Reece said and I smacked him upside the head.

"What the hell was that for"!? He asked and rubbed his head.

"Watch the attitude" I warned and he rolled his eyes and muttered "I don't have an attitude".

The guys and I were all standing around the kitchen as the girls were in the living room; trying to convince Rain not to go home.

"I'm starving" Will groaned and Craig nodded and clenched his jaw "We should probably grab something to eat".

"Ask the girls; before we order something they completely hate" Vince said rolling his eyes at the thought.

We walked out into the living room, and I saw Rain sitting on the ground; playing with Melanie as Melanie giggled and laughed; grinning ear to ear.

My lips tugged up into a smile at how Rain was so good with kids, and especially with Melanie, because most people weren't.

She tackled Rain into a hug, and Rain laughed.

Her laugh...I could listen to it all day.

Rain stopped and looked up at me and offered a small smile then Melanie took her attention back.

"Pizza's here"! Craig yelled as he walked in and set the pizza boxes on the counter, and the girls all ran in and everyone grabbed a plate.

I grabbed a beer from the fridge and someone bumped into my chest. Rain took a step back and said "Sorry", and grabbed a plate and walked over to the counter.

She grabbed slice and I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, and nuzzled my head into the crook of her neck.

Her back was pressed up against my chest, and she tensed up at my touch and her breath hitched, and I could tell she was getting nervous.

I took in her sent; which usually smelt like vanilla and roses with mint; but she smelt like cologne and peppermint.

"You smell like me" I mumbled into her neck.

"Maybe because this is your shirt" She stated, and I smirked against her neck and played with the hem of the shirt and slipped my hands under to her hips.

"R-ryker" She stuttered and her breath was shaky.

We were the only ones in the kitchen right now and I turned her around in my arms and pressed my forehead to hers and smirked.

I picked her up and placed her on the counter, and she placed her palms flat on my chest, and brushed her lips against mine.

I wanted to just smash my lips into her's and call her mine; and have no guy ever look at her again, and I wanted her.

I wanted her, badly.

Goddamn, this girl....

I tucked a piece of her brown hair behind her ear, and she stared down at the collar of my shirt and her breath faltered.

"Pass me a beer-" Will and Peter's voices said as they walked in, and Rain and I jumped away from each other.

Why does this fucking keep happening?! Damn it! Just let me fucking kiss her!

Will and Peter stood there with their arms crossed and cocky smirks stretched across there faces and gave knowing looks.

Rain cleared her throat then hopping off the counter and grabbed a plate and grabbing a slice of pizza and walking out to the living room.

"Look what you fucking did, cock-blockers"! I snapped at Peter and Will; then they put their hands in surrender.

Then running out and yelling "Rain and Ryker almost kissed!"

Rain Thompson

"Rain and Ryker almost kissed!" Peter and Will yelled as they ran in.

Everyone's heads snapped towards me and I glared at Peter and Will "Really? You just had to tell everyone"?

They smirked proudly and nodded "Yes".
