To the moon and back

Chapter 3

I wake up to a door opening. I quickly sit up. The light turns on and Ryder is standing there. "Did I wake you?" He asks and I shake my head "i-it's fine. What time i-is it." Ryder walks over to the bed. "Almost 2 o'clock. I'm going to quickly shower. Go back to sleep." He says and kisses my forehead.

I nod and lay down. I roll on my side and close my eyes. I'm just about asleep when I feel the bed dip. I roll onto my other side and lay my head on Ryder's chest. "Goodnight Angel." I smile a small smile "good-goodnight baby." I quietly say and close my eyes.

The next week is just like yesterday Ryder goes to school and goes to work. He doesn't come home until like 1-2 o'clock. On the weekends he'd be hanging out with his friends. And I would like to hang out with them, but I barely leave the house and I'm sure they'll be at some like crowded restaurant or something.

I still haven't been eating or drinking. I would eat and drink, but I don't get hungry or thirsty. So i forget to eat and drink I know how can you forget you're at home all the time. Well I'm mostly in our room watching tv and reading. And if I'm not hungry or thirsty guess what I'm not eating. I'm pretty sure the last time I ate was like 3 days ago and I can't even remember the last time I drank water or any type of drink.

It's Saturday and Ryder said he'd be super busy today so he's going to be gone basically all day. And I miss him. The only time I see him is before we go to bed, but that's only for a few minutes and then I'm asleep.

I get changed out of my pjs and walk outside. I climb on my motorcycle and start driving to the warehouse. I know I probably shouldn't but I barely see Ryder and I miss him. Anyways i drive there and climb off my bike. I take a deep breath and walk inside. Everyone looks at me but I don't care. I walk around trying to find him.

Someone grabs my arm and pulls me. "What are you doing here." Brody says and I look at him. "I came t-to see Ryder." "He's busy." I nod "well I-I know but I mi-miss him." Brody sighs "Via." I shake my head "I-I want to see him." Brody sighs "he's in the meeting room." I smile "Thanks." I walk to the meeting room.

I hear people arguing well more like Ryder yelling and someone talking in a surprisingly calm voice. Ryder doesn't sound happy not at all. Oh boy he's going to be mad. I'm not supposed to be here he's told me multiple times that it's to dangerous. But I want to see him and I'm not leaving just because he is angry.

I decide staying outside of the room and waiting for him is better then ruining his meeting. I quietly stand there for a while. Finally the door opens. some guy walks out and Ryder is behind him. He says bye to the guy and whispers something to him. The guy leaves and he turns around. He sees me and I smile a small smile. He looks at me and he definitely isn't happy.

He walks over to me and I start to get scared and anxious. "Angel" Ryder says through clenched teeth. "I-I'm sorry it's j-just. Well you've b-been working a lot l-lately and I b-barely saw you a-all week." He glares at me. "Am I supposed to not work. Am I not supposed to be leading my gang." He asks and I shake my head.

"I get that you want to be with me, but I'm busy. Was following me around like a lost puppy last week not good enough for you." He practically screams and I flinch backing away from him a little.

"N-No but I n-never see y-you anymore." "And that's my fault. I have crap to do I can't just drop everything because you wanna hang out with me." He says and his eyes are dark green. "I-I know you're b-busy th-that's why I c-came here." I quietly say and he rolls his eyes.

"I've told you multiple times not to come here that it's to dangerous." "Any-Anywhere I go i-is dangerous. Anywhere I go c-could have some guy th-that wants to t-take me." He glares at me "ok there's simple solution. Leave." I look at him confused "Wh-What."

"Leave. It's obvious you're to fucking needy and I can't give you enough attention. And everywhere you go is dangerous. Then leave go find someone else to deal with you." He screams and his eyes are completely black. Deal with me. He has to deal with me. Tears well up in my eyes. "F-Fine you don't have t-to deal with m-me anymore." I say and a few tears roll down my cheeks. Ryder's eyes go back to normal their normal emerald green color and fill with guilt.

"Via I..." I don't even listen to him. I run out of the warehouse and climb on my motorcycle. I drive away and let the road guide me. Tears are rolling down my cheeks in a endless river. Luckily I can see where I'm going.

I drive to the first persons house that pops into my head. I pull in her driveway and knock on the door. Some guy answers the door. "I-Is Ruby th-there." I quietly say and the guy nods. "Ruby some chic is look for you." "Ok thank you." The guy leaves and Ruby walks over to the door. "Look if you're here about a night together it was a 1 time thing I have a boyfriend now so lea...." she sees me.

"Oh no tears. Who do I have to kill." I wrap my arms around her. "Ry-Ryder's grumpy and h-he yelled at me. And n-now we br-broke up." I say sobbing and Ruby wraps her arms around me. "Well what happened." I tell her everything and she doesn't look happy.

"Y-You don't deal w-with me r-right." I quietly say and she shakes her head. "No sweetie I don't." "Th-Then why did Ry-Ryder say to g-go find someone else t-to deal with m-me. Which means h-he has to d-deal with me." I say and start crying harder.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it like that." "That's what h-he said. He said t-to find someone e-else to d-deal with m-me. Why would h-he say that if h-he didn't mean i-it." I say sobbing and sniffling. "I'm sure he didn't mean it like that." Ruby says reassuring me.

"I-It doesn't matter. I-I said that he d-doesn't have t-to deal with m-me anymore. And I r-ran out of t-the building. I didn't mean t-to say that b-but he was so mad a-and I was s-sad. I-I don't want to l-leave him." I say crying harder "I-I don't want h-him getting w-with chics. I-I didn't mean t-to say that I/I just blurted it o/out." Ruby continues hugging me and rubbing my back. Trying to calm me down.
