My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 55

Everyone looked at Ryker, and he said "Busy with work, dealing with Callum and Arena."

That took me back for a second, as I've never heard Ryker address his parents by their first names before. "How about you Rain?" Craig asked; snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh," I gulped silently as I fidgeted with my fingers "I..I um..-.." Everyone's were on me as they all gave confused looks, waiting for me to continue.

Taking a deep breath "I'm going to college." Ryker's eyes snapped right up to mine as they went dark and everyone stated at me in shock.

"You what?" Leah asked, and I blinked slowly a few times before answering "Yeah..I got an acceptance letter from Columbia University."

"Oh my God," Celeste spoke out "Rain, that's amazing. Congrats." "Yeah, thanks," I nodded slightly before I looked at Ryker. He stood up from the couch, grabbing his keys, and storming out of the room.

I immediately stood up, starting to follow after him when Ally grabbed my hand "Just let him cool off a bit." "No," I shook my head. "Ryker!"

I ran out of the warehouse and he was walking towards his truck. "Ryker, wait!" I yelled and he whirled around to me before snapping "What?"

"Don't do this," I sighed "I already feel guilty about it." He looked back at me with dark eyes that sent daggers into me "You're not seriously going, are you?" He asked, staring at me with intensity. "I mean, I don't know" I shrugged "And I need to get out of the house for awhile."

I was really split in the middle about college. Sometimes I think it'd be a great idea then other times I think it's a nightmare in the making.

Ryker walked up to me and we were inches apart. "Rain, You have your brothers, the gang, me and so many other fucking things..plus Leah and Liz wouldn't have anyone to annoy if you left."

"Well getting an education is better than being someone for Liz and Leah to annoy." I stated, and he asked with a harsh tone "What field do you even want to go in?"

"I don't know yet..something with kids, maybe a therapist" I shrugged again, not knowing what field I wanted to go into.

"You shouldn't go" Ryker scoffed, shaking his head, going to walk back to his truck but I grabbed his hand before he left. "Well it's not really your decision" I said, as his back was towards me.

"It's a waste of time. You go to school for four more years, pay loans, take long-ass boring classes with annoying professors, then are in debt for the next 15 years," Ryker said with anger rising in his voice.

"I'm not worried about the student loans and if I want a good job besides exploiting myself from modeling I'm going to have to sit through those 'long-ass boring classes with annoying professors'," I said getting annoyed at how he was trying to push the idea down.

"Why the hell would you leave?!" He exclaimed as he turned around to face me "You have your family and friends! People who love you Rain! And you're just going to pack your bags, go to college, and leave everyone behind?!"

Running a hand through my hair, I exclaimed "It's not up to you!" "I know!" Ryker yelled "Because if it was you wouldn't be wasting your life away with frat parties and un-important information!"

"Just because you didn't go to college doesn't mean I don't have to!" I yelled, and Ryker glared at me "Fine. Go to CU, see what I care!"

My heart fell at his words and I blinked slowly a few times. "You knew I would go to college eventually!"

"No Rain! No I didn't! Because I never thought about you leaving!" He yelled "And don't come crying to me when you're stuck in some fucked-up situation! Cause that's what college does, it fucks things up!"

"Why are you so upset about this?!" I exclaimed with my voice softening from yelling and I stared at him, waiting for an answer.

"Because I love you!" He yelled "And I don't want you to leave!"

I froze and my body relaxed from being so tense. I took a deep breath and took in what he said. He shook his head as he looked off to the side "Rain," He sighed.

Ryker looked back at me, and came closer to me. "Ryk-" I began but was cut off by him "Move in."

"W-What?" I stuttered from being taken off guard. "Move in with me. You won't have get a dorm, you'll be out of your house-" He started.

"Ryker." I stopped him "This is a lot to think about." "Rain, you're practically at my place 24/7 anyways," He continued "It just makes sense."

"Ryk..." I trailed off "What happens if we get into a fight? Plus you already have Melanie and Faith that come over..There's Just not enough space."

* * * * *

"Moving?!" They all exclaimed, shooting up from their seats. "Yes, okay." I sighed "I didn't want to get into another fight, and maybe this will actually work out."

"Oh my gosh!" Ally and Liz gushed "Congrats! We're looking for apartments now." "What? No!" Leah and Juliet disagreed.

"Rain is way to young to be moving in with her boyfriend," Leah shook her head as she rested her hands on her hips "ESPECIALLY my brother."

I buried my face in my hands as they all broke out into an argument. "She is not Leah! This is a good thing for them!" Liz exclaimed.

"It is not," Juliet popped in "They are moving way too fast. They just got back together, plus she needs to focus on college." "Oh hush!" Ally rolled her eyes "They'll be married in the next few months."

My head snapped up and I shot up "Whoa! Whoa! I never said anything about marriage." "Exactly!" Leah exclaimed "You're suppose to do the moving in part after the marriage part."

"And you're suppose to be with someone, married before getting pregnant," Liz snapped and Leah sent her a glare. "Incase you all haven't noticed, none of us are traditional." Ally rolled her eyes at everyone.

"Rain," Leah sighed, turning to face me "You're making a huge mistake." "No you're not," Liz cut in "Don't listen to Leah."

"He's my brother! I know him, and I know what is going to happen," Leah continued stern. "Well he's my best friend," Ally crossed her arms "And I know just as much as you."

Leah; his older sister is telling me no. Ally; his best friend is telling me yes. Not conflicting at all...

"Oh puh-lease," Leah rolled her eyes "Don't even pull that card. You know that Rain is making a huge mistake by agreeing to this. She's too young." "She's 18! She's a legal adult! She can vote; not that anyone would want to in this election."

"Guys!" I yelled over all of them, making them become silent and look at me. "It's my decision, not yours," I breathed "And whether you support it or not, I don't want you all arguing about it."

It was the morning, and I was getting ready to go to school but stopped by the warehouse. The doors then opened and the guys walked in.

"Rain, let's go." Ryker said grabbing his keys "I have to drop you off then go to work." I quickly slipped my Convereses on and slung my backpack over my shoulder. I took his hand and he intertwined our fingers as we walked out of the warehouse.

"I just want school to be over," I sighed and let go of his hand to get in the passenger seat. "You have one more week," He rolled his eyes at me and I threw my head back against the seat.

"Rain," He broke away for a second and managed between kisses "You have school." "That can wait," I whispered before pressing my lips back to his.

I straddled his lay, and he rested his hands on my hips and they pushed my uniform skirt further and further up. My tongued slid across his teeth, and my hand slid down his chest as I started to tug at the bottom of the old stained muscle tee he had on for work.

I came to the last button, and his hands pushed my skirt up completely. The bell then went off, and Ryker pulled back from me "You're going to be late." I caught my breath and pouted at him.

I crawled out of lap, grabbing my backpack, and getting out of the car. "Love you," I said squeezing his hand.

"Love you too," He replied and let go of my hand.

The second bell went off and I jogged into school before Mrs. Grave; the principal writes me up for being a second late

"Wow Rain, Wow," Shae rolled her eyes at me. "I forgot alright," I said as I forged my dad's signature onto the paper "Plus it's stupid that I need a signature anyways, I'm 18."
