THE BOY NEXT DOOR

RIKER & SECRETS

Aimee's POV
It's been a day since everything went down and I regret everything I did but I deserve the consequences. I have to. I don't have a choice. I talked to my mom about it and shes upset with me but she's at the Lynch's right now talking to Stormie.

The doorbell rang and I wiped my dried tears away. I take a deep breath and opened the door to see the person that I least expected to see. Riker. He quickly hugs me and I hugged back confused.

"I missed you Aimee!" He says. I pulled away backing up. "You can't be here Riker. I can't go near you or your family. I don't want you to get in trouble!" I say. He walks in not listening to a word I say.

"Aimee, I don't give a fuck what my parents say. Not like they could tell me what to do. I'm fucking 24 and I'm not scared of them. They can't ground me and if I'm going to hang with you than I'm going to hang you!" He smiled. I couldn't help but smile.

"My mom is trying to talk to your mom about letting me hang with you guys" I say. That's when I knew something happened by looking at Riker's face.

"I heard everything that went down. My mom and dad doesn't want you coming near us. There's a big fight going on!" He frowned.

I looked down letting tears slip. "But this could be our little secret and maybe your mom will allow it!" He smiled. I looked up at him. "Don't cry!" He says, hugging me.

I cried in his shoulder. "Y-Your f-family hates me"

"I don't. I could never hate you no matter what. If Ross hates you just because of that than he needs serious help Aimee!" He says, looking me straight in the eyes.

I couldn't help but smile. "There's that smile I like!" He says, wiping up my tears. "Where's Connor?" He asked, looking around as he walked in closing the door.

"He went somewhere with his friends" I say, grabbing Riker's hand and pulling him into the kitchen.

"Want anything to drink?" I asked, grabbing myself a bottle of water. "Sure. I'll have water!" He says. I grabbing him a water and threw it. He caught it and we just talked.
