Chapter 2

I woke up to the pilot coming over the speakers.

"Fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing. Turn off all electronics." the pilot said

I turned off my phone and tightened my seat beat. I waited for the plane to land. Once the plane landed, we got off. We got our bags. We found Jc, Connor and Sam waiting for us. They hurried us into the car. Once we got in, I asked them.

"What is going on? Where's Ricky?" I asked

"Ricky is in the hospital. We haven't seen him and we thought that you would want to see him first since he's closer to you than anyone." Sam said

We drove to the hospital. Once we got there, I rushed into the hospital and into Ricky's room. He was in a full body cast with feeding tubes. I sat beside him.

"Hey." I said

"Hey." Ricky said

"What happened?" I asked

"Someone rammed into his car. Ricky knows who hit him." Jc said "he won't tell anyone. Says he wants you to be the first to know."

"Who was it Ricky?" I said

"James." Ricky said

"He's in Cali?" I said harshly

"Yea." Ricky said

I stormed out of the room. Kian ran after me.

"Mel!" Kian called

I ran to the beach. James was sitting on the sand. I pulled his head back with a fistful of hair and punched him in the face.

"Don't you ever hurt Ricky or anyone in my family again. Ya hear?" I said

"Ricky and them losers ain't your family." James said

I punched him again.

"They are all my family so you can shut up and get out of Cali." I said

I stormed back to the hospital. I went to Ricky's room and sat down next to him. I put my hand over his. he gasped when he saw my hands. There was blood all over them.

"It's fine Ricky." I said

"No it's not your hands are covered in blood." Jc said

"It's not hers." Kian said

"It's James' blood." I said

"You punched him?" Connor said

"He put Ricky in a full body cast with a feeding tube! What was I supposed to do?" I yelled

Everyone went silent. I walked out of the room. Kian came out after me. I stopped in the waiting room and put my hands on the sides of my head. Kian came up behind me and wrapped me in his arms. Tears ran down my face.

"It's okay Mel." Kian said

"This is all my fault." I said

"No it's not." Kian said

"If I had just stayed here, then none of this would've happened. James wouldn't be after me. Ricky wouldn't be in a full body cast." I said

"Some good things happened to you in North Carolina. I think it did you some good." Kian said

"But now James is after me and he's hurting everyone I love to get me."

"Mel, please stop. This is James' decision. I can't bear to see you like this anymore."
