In love with my best friend (A Riker Lynch Story)

Chapter 37: Surprise Surprise

*Alexs POV*

Once we got settled in I plopped down on the couch face down.

"Uggghhh... I'm so tired..." I groaned. Why does packing and unpacking boxes have to be so tiring?

"I see that. Well would you like to go to bed?" Riker wondered. I looked up and saw that dark bags underneath his bloodshot eyes. I gasped a little and walked up to him.

"Babe, how long has it been since you've slept?" I asked studying his face.

"Ummm.... 3 days?" I gasped and slapped his arm.

"Dude!"

"Don't 'dude' me!" He sasses.

"I will 'dude' you all I want! You haven't slept in three days, Riker! There days! 36 hours without sleep! You better have a good explanation for this." I admit, I was a bit ticked off. Why would he all of a sudden not sleep? Why haven't I noticed?

"I don't know. Just thinking I guess." He said. It sounded as if it came out as a question, like he was hiding something. I just rolled my eyes and pushed it to the back of my mind.

"Whatever... I'm going to bed..." I started walking to the room and then stopped. I turned to face him.

"Please sleep tonight. It'll be okay. I promise." He nodded and promised. I turned around and walked to our bed and plopped face down again.

As I was about to fall asleep I heard the door bell ring.

"UGHHHHHHH!!!!" I groaned extra loud.

I got up and walked to the door. I was about to ask why Riker didn't get it but he was passed out on the couch. I smiled and walked to the door.

I opened it and my eyes went wide.

"Patrick?" I was very surprised to see him. One because I didn't expect him to be at my door and two because I have no idea how he knows where I live.

"Flesh and blood." He smiled and I gestured for him to come inside.

I explained to him how Riker was asleep on the couch so I took him into Riker and I's room.

"So you might be wondering why I am here." He said.

I nodded for him to go on.

"Well I just recently found out something..." He stopped.

"Well...." I trailed.

"You're my... Sister."

"WHAT?!" I yelled. I must of woken Riker up because he darted into our room. Panic written across his face.

"What happened? What did you do? Why are you in here?" Millions of questions exploded out of his mouth. His eyes targeted Patrick and I immediately stopped him from doing something he'd regret.

"Riker stop." I pushed him back a little to try and calm him down.

"What's he doing here?" He blurted with a tone set in his voice.

"Riker... He's... He's my brother."

"HES YOUR WHAT??!!" He yelled.

"Exactly. I don't know." I turned to Patrick. "Explain please."

"Okay..." Patrick started. "I literally just found out an hour ago. But anyways, my mother... Is Claire. Clair Laughton(a/n yes I know that that is not Patrick Kane's mothers real name. I was making it up for the sake of the story). And I didn't know that she had a daughter, and I didn't know she was married to Scott. She always kept Kane as her last name. But earlier, she paid me a visit. Explained the whole story about rehab and everything. Well, she said that she married your father a little after you were born." I put my hand up to stop him.

"Wait... What happened to my biological mother since Claire isn't?"

*Patricks POV*

Damnit. I was hoping she wouldn't ask this.

"She um... She died a week after you were born. She had cancer, Alex." I explained. I saw tears brim her eyes but they didn't fall.

"Continue..." She breathed.

"She explained that she had a daughter. For some reason, I wasn't thinking and I didn't know you were Scott Laughton's daughter. She said that her daughters name was Alex. I thought about you and asked if it was you. And it was. Your mother, well our mother, said that even though I am your step brother, she wants me to protect you. To keep you safe from everyone. I know that Riker does that but I'm your brother and I should be in just as much as that as him." I finished.

*Alexs POV*

Wow... I can't believe this.

Riker rubbed my back as I stood there in shock at what I just heard.

My only response was to give Pat a hug.

"I will do everything I can to be the best big brother anyone could ask for. I really do love you, sisterly wise." He mumbled into my shoulder.

"I hope because I'll be the best damn sister to you." I stopped. Eyes wide as I pulled away.

"Patrick... You have other sisters. You have 3 more sisters. Fucking 4 damn siblings!!! And you live in Chicago for crying out loud!! How am I supposed to see you??!!" He cursed under his breathe and looked up at me.

"Yeah... I was kinda getting to that. And about the Chicago thing, the season is over and as you can see, we didn't win the cup. But I have a house down here that I'm going to be staying at for the off-season so I get to see you. Also, my sisters are in Canada bothered with work so we won't see them as much. Don't worry... Everything will be okay." He gave me a reassuring hug which I returned.

"Umm... I kinda wanna go to bed..." Riker interrupted. I totally forgot he was there. Whoops.

"Yeah sorry babe." I gave him a quick peck on the lips. He obviously wanted more but I didn't let him.

Before Patrick was about to leave, I stopped him for one last question.

"How in gods name do you know where I live? I just moved here today."

He smirked. "I asked Rikers brother, Ross I think it is. I saw him on the boardwalk by my house. Don't worry I'm not a stalker." I laughed and waved bye to him.

I walked to our bedroom and saw Riker passed out on our bed with all his clothes on.

I stripped him down to just his underwear and placed a blanket over him while I got into bed next to him. I snuggled close to his side and fell asleep with one thing on my mind.

Patrick Kane is my brother.
