My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 38

Ryker Anderson

It's already been 1 day in Italy, and Rain already seemed to get sick with a stomach ache, fever, and headache and Liz said she woke up all through the night and didn't sleep.

I honestly think she made herself sick from stressing herself out so much, which she does a lot.

I walked down the hallway of the hotel, and to Rain and Liz's room, where they were sharing. I raised my fist and knocked on the door that had been locked.

"Rain, babe. It's me" I said "Let me in". A few moments later Liz opened the door "Well it's about time you got here, your girlfriend had been throwing up for the past 2 hours".

"I was trying find an English doctor" I pointed out as I rolled my eyes at her, "Where is she"?

"In the bathroom" Liz nodded her head towards the closed door "She's brushing her teeth I think".

The door then flung open and Rain out looking like a mess but still managed to look cute at the same time.

Her hair was thrown up into a messy bun, she was in joggers and a t-shirt; that I believed was mine..."Hi" She mumbled, and I walked over to her and kissed her forehead "Hey princess".

And I could feel her head burning up, and she gave a tired look and Liz hovered over her like a mother to go back in bed.

She huffed and walked back to the King Size bed and climbed in. Liz asked "What times the doctor appointment again"?

"12" I answered and Rain laid on her side, facing me. I placed the back of my hand on her forehead "Ah, Rain you're burning up. Have you taken any medicine"?

Liz sighed and narrowed her eyes at Rain. "Fine" Rain muttered and pointed to her suitcase that was laying on the ground "Ryk can you grab the Ibuprofen out of my bag? It's on the side".

I went over to her suitcase and grabbed the bottle of Ibuprofen and handed it to her.

She took 3 out, and swallowed them whole. "I'm going to go grab something to eat in the cafeteria, want anything Rain"? Liz asked.

Rain shook her head "No", and Liz pointed at me "Keep an eye on her", then grabbing her jacket and walking out of the hotel room.

I climbed into bed next to her, and she immediately moved closer to me as she cuddled into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her as I kissed the top of her head "I'm sorry you got sick".

She coughed into her clutched fist and I rubbed circles on her back. "Oh God, Rain" I said feeling bad for her and pulling her into a tight hug.

She tangled her legs with mine, and laid her head on my chest, and I half smiled/smirk at how she wanted to be close to me.

The door opened, and Leah walked in "Hey" She greeted with a small smile.

Rain sat up, and I felt her tense up, which I didn't know why. "How you feeling"? Leah asked her.

"Like hell" Rain mumbled and plopped back on the bed and my chest.

Leah sighed "Well sorry you got sick. Blame Neil".

Rain let put a small laugh under her breath, and rolled her eyes. Leah turned to me and stood up straight "Where's Liz"?

"RAIN"! Liz's voice yelled as she ran through the door, making Rain flinch at the loudness because of her headache as she took her hair out of the bun it was in.

"Liz! Shhh"! I scowled at her, and her mouth formed an 'O' shape.

"Found her" I said to Leah, and Leah rolled her eyes. Liz said to Rain "You're pregnant".

I choked on air in my throat and broke out to a coughing fit. As Rain gave her an Are-You-Serious look as she narrowed her eyes.

"You better not be. Because I didn't do anything" I defended and Rain rolled her eyes "I'm not pregnant. I haven't had sex in 2 years..."

Liz frowned "But your kids would be blessed". Leah smacked her arm and grabbed Liz's hand "Let's leave them alone, Liz".

Leah dragged Liz out of the room, and shut the door behind them. "I question Liz's thinking process sometimes" Rain mumbled.

"Sometimes?" I scoffed "More like all the time".

She chuckled, and I turned to face her and pressed my lips to her, and she kissed back right away.

Then she pulled back right away "Ryk..No, you'll get sick".

"I don't care" I muttered and pressed my lips back to hers, and pulled on her bottom lip.

"Well I do" She said as she pulled back from me "You don't need to get sick, because I already screwed up the plains".

"Rain" I stopped her "Don't say that. It's not your fault you got sick, it's just an extra day to figure things out".

She sighed, and I went to kiss her but she put a hand up between us "I'm still sick, and I feel and look gross".

I rolled my eyes at her, and she bit her lip, as her eyes caught mine. I always loved her eyes..they were such a suddel piercing gentle blue, that you could stare at for ours.

They matched her too...they were just as unique and beautiful as she was herself.

Rain quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Rain" I said and walked towards the bathroom "Rain, you okay"?

She was sitting on the cold tiled ground, and hunched over the toilet seat. I sighed and pulled her hair back out of her face "God Rain..I'm sorry" I said as if it was my fault.

She took a towel and wiped her mouth and shrugged "It's fine" She mumbled.

* * * * * * * *

"Craig, just shut the hell up" I snapped "I'm not dealing with this shit right now" as I picked up Melanie and set her on the chair and kneeling down. I helped her get her shoes on then tying them.

"No Ryker! You shut up!" He yelled then gritting "Because this is dangerous ground were on, and I don't want it being screwed up. Especially with Rain".

I rolled my eyes and stood back up "Let go of the fucking grudge you have against her. And Just because you can't get a girlfriend doesn't mean you have to hate mine" I gritted through my teeth.

Craig shook his head in disgrace as he looked down "You know, you'd think you'd have more respect for me, considering I raised you".

Craig look back up at me "Because when your parents left you, I was there! I'm the one that took care of you"!

"And everyone wonders why I turned out the way I did"! I yelled out of anger. Craig became silent and he clenched his jaw.

"I slept with Leah" He muttered, and Rain came down dressed in a white t-shirt, jeans, and a black leather jacket.

I immediately grabbed him by the shirt and gritted "You what"?!

"I slept with her a month ago, when we came back from the bar and she was drunk" Craig stated stern.

My muscles became tense, I slammed Craig up against the wall and through a punch at his gut. "Ryker"! Rain yelled and grabbed my arm.

I kept a glare at Craig and I wanted nothing more then to pummel him to a bloody pulp. "You fucking slept with my sister"?! I yelled.

Craig didn't do anything. He kept and emotionless face. "You fucking whore, go burn in hell"! I yelled.

I ripped my arm out of Rain's grip and sent a punch flying to his jaw, and Craig stumbled back and fell. "Ryker!" Rain yelled, and stood in front of me and Craig was behind her. "Go" She ordered.

"Go"? I questioned. "Go!" She yelled "Go, because you can't be beating up people! Craig's basically your family! Now Go, I don't want to see you"!

"Rain, he slept with my sister-" I started to deafened. "I don't care! Now go"! She shouted "And don't come back until you get your head on straight and stop being a fucking asshole"!

"You know, what? Fine" I muttered and walked out and slammed the door behind me.

Rain Thompson

I sighed, as Ryker slammed the door one his way out. I knelt down to Craig, and he was clutching his gut, and hunched over with his back against the door.

I called Vince, and explained everything to him. Craig's lip was busted, a black eye would be sure to form, and his jaw was unset.

The door opened and the rest of the gang came. "Well that was quick.." I trailed off, Vince and Neil nodded as they came up to Craig.

"Great..Just great" Neil muttered. Vince asked "Where is Ryker"? "I don't know, I told him to leave, and he's somewhere on the streets now".

I stood up, and clutched my head in pain as there was a pang in it. "Rain, go lie down. You're still sick" Liz said.

Leah was staring at Craig with worry as she bit her lip, picked at her fingernails nervously and seemed to be daydreaming..in a not so good way.

I followed Liz's order and walked out of the room and down to my hotel room. I picked up my phone off my nightstand once I came to my room, and saw I had no messages.

Great....Just Great..

My boyfriend is somewhere in Italy, Our Gang Leader was beaten up, One of our gang members aka my boyfriend's sister is pregnant. And Oh yeah...we're only up against the biggest gangs in the nation.

I plopped back onto my bed, and rubbed my temples as I stared up at the ceiling.

* * * * * *

I was sitting in the lounge, as I bit my fingernails and sat in a chair. The guys should be back any minute, with Ryker.

They texted me and said he was at some bar; but wasn't drunk or with girls. He was just sitting at the counter of the bar alone.

The door opened, and I shot up as I saw Reece, Peter, and Will walk in followed by Ryker. I felt bad that I told him to leave, but he didn't handle the whole Craig and Leah thing the way he should have.

Craig was in his room on bed rest for now, and I went to the doctors appointment an a hour ago; and they gave me antibiotics.

I fidgeted with my fingers, and walked up slowly to him, and my mind started to go about confronting him, but I couldn't.

I felt guilty for the things that I said, and even the way I handled it. Ryker's eyes were dark, yet tired and weary. "I-I'm s-sorry" I stuttered, and his eyes met mine.

Ryker had a glare holding in his blue eyes that I loved. Ryker clenched his jaw "Well it doesn't sound like you mean it", then walking past me with his shoulder brushing against mine, then heading towards the elevator.

"Ryker" I called out in a sigh, but Ryker ignored me and walked into the elevator

"You coming"? Liz asked as she came out of the bathroom and snapped her earrings in. "Nah" I shook my head as I hugged a pillow to my chest "I'm staying back tonight".

She placed her hands on her hips "Oh come on, it'll be fun. Plus it's our last day before we get evolved into all the gang stuff". I sighed and picked at the edges of the pillow case.

"You and Ryker still not talking to each other"? She asked, and I shook my head in response as I pressed my lips in a thin line.

It's been 5 hours since Ryker came back, and he hasn't talked to me. Apparently him and Craig got into another fight. So the guys decided it'd be good to get out, and get something for dinner at some pizza restaurant.

Liz sighed "Well Vince is forcing him to go, so you're coming too. And it's normal for couples to fight; it's a fact of life". I shrugged, and Liz walked up then grabbing my hand and pulling me up off the queen sized bed "Come on. It'll be fun".

"Fine" I mumbled and grabbed my keys off the dresser "Let me go grab my jacket", then walking out into the hallway to go to Peter and Ryker's room where I left my jacket from earlier. I passed Peter in the hall and stopped him "Hey, can you grab my jacket? I left it your room".

"Ryker's in there, and the door's unlocked" Peter stated, and I bit my lip "Can't you just get it"? Peter rolled his eyes "Really Thompson? He's your boyfriend for God sakes! Just because you two aren't talking to each other, doesn't mean you don't have to breath the same air. Now go into the room and grow a pair".

I rested my hands on my hips and narrowed my eyes at him "Then why don't you grow a pair and ask out Liz"? His eyes widened, and I nodded "Yeah, I know about that whole chaos between you two". "Get your jacket" He snapped and rolled his eyes then walking away.

"Can't take the heat, Smith"?! I called after him earning the middle finger from Peter. I let out a small laugh, and walked to the Ryker's and Peter's room. I knocked, but there was no answer.

I knocked again. No answer. I sighed, then reaching for the door handle and pushing it down to open the door. I walked in, and the room was dark and quiet. A sound of a door closing shut approached, and I saw Ryker walk out of the bathroom with his hair damp.

He was shirtless with a pair of joggers and he was drying his hair with a towel quickly. He threw the towel on the bed, and his head snapped to meet me. I pressed my lips in a thin line "I..I forgot my jacket".

He nodded and clenched his jaw, then his phone began to vibrate on the nightstand. I walked to the other side of the room and searched for my jacket, and Ryker answered the phone, putting it up to his ear.

"What"? He asked, and there was a few moments of silence. I just continued to search for my jacket so it wouldn't be obvious that I was ease-dropping on his conversation. He let out a small laugh of air, and I glanced at him to see a small smile tug at his lips.

"Yeah, got it. See you there" He said, then hanging up. I tensed up and felt a feeling of jealous come over me, and wanted to ask him who he was talking to.

What if it was a girl?

My mind began to race with thoughts, and I wanted to take his phone and call whoever that was back to find out who it was. "Ryker"! A voice yelled, and Melanie ran in "Can I have a hat"? Ryker took one of his black snap-back that was set on the dresser, and placed it on Melanie's head. She giggled as she secured the hat that was to big for her on her head.

I went back to looking for my jacket, and I felt a tug at my hand. I looked down to see Melanie and she beckoned me down to her with her hand. I knelt down to her height "Yes"? She placed another one of Ryker's black snap-back's on my head and giggled "Now we can match".

I looked up to Ryker, who was staring at me as he was watching Melanie with me. "Right, Ryker"? Melanie asked, and Ryker tore his stare away from mine and nodded "Yeah, right" He muttered, not saying anything else; to go along with Melanie.

Ryker then grabbed my jacket from the closet, and tossed it to me. I caught it, and blinked slowly a couple times "Thank you" I mumbled and started to walk out. "Rain"! Melanie yelled after me, and I stopped, turning around to look at her "Can I ride with you"?

"Oh, I'm going with Craig and Vince. I'll see you at the restaurant though" I offered a small smile to her. Ryker's face went cold at the sound of Craig's name, and I tensed up then Melanie ran up to me. She hugged me tightly, and I sighed, because I could tell she knew Ryker and I were fighting. She was young, but she was smart for her age.

"Please make up with Ryker" She whispered into my ear as she hugged me tightly "Because I don't like any of his other girlfriends". I chuckled a bit and pulled back to look at her. I placed my forehead to hers and nodded "We will", and she pecked my lips with a small kiss. I smiled and stood up "Bye Kiddo", then heading out the door.

* * * * * * * * * *

I got out of the black matte black Ferrari, and slammed the door shut. Craig got out of the backseat, and Vince got out of the driver's side as I got out of the passenger seat. I ran a hand through my hair, and Vince came beside me, slinging an arm over my shoulders, coming up to the some-what fancy bar restaurant.

I was in black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt that had a v-neck cut, black high-top Converses, and the snap-back the Melanie wanted me to wear that was Ryker's. All the guys were in white t-shirts, leather jackets, and jeans as so were Leah and Liz.

"Reservation for.." Vince trailed off as we went up to the front podium, where a waitress was standing. Vince looked at Craig and asked "What's is under"? "Reece called, so I think Anderson" Craig stated, and Vince turned back to the girl "Anderson". She nodded then leading us back through the restaurant.

Liz smiled "Hey", and I sat down next to her. "Hey" I offered a small smile. The guys took their seats, and Vince asked "Where's Reece and Ryker"? "On their way" Faith answered "They got caught up in something". I tensed up and my phone vibrated, and I saw a text from my dad.

I gulped as my eyes flickered, and it said 'Call Me.' "I'll be right back" I said, then standing up and walking out of the restaurant. I called my dad, and put up to my ear nervously. I bit my lip as my heartbeat began to race.

He answered on the 3rd ring, and I bit my lip "Hey dad".

"Don't 'Hey Dad' me, Rain. But you will get your ass on the first flight home back to New York City. I already hate that boyfriend of yours, and to run off to Italy with him is absurd" He gritted "You're lucky I didn't just fly their myself, and smack the shit out of you."

"Dad listen-" I started, but he cut me off "No. Don't fucking talk. I want you to get on a plane right now, or I'm calling the Police Department in Italy and they'll get you on a plane, and when you get home you're in so much shit".

I gulped silent as I swallowed a lump that built up in my throat. "If you ever pull this again, I will fucking shoot you in the head".

That hurt..

That comment made a pang in my chest, and tears pricked my eyes. I hung the phone up on him, and I heard a car door shut. I looked up to see Reece, Ryker, Leah; who was carrying Faith walk up, and Reece jogged up to me concerned "Hey, have you been crying"?

I wiped the tears away and shook my head "No, someone was just chopping onions". Ryker's face was taken over by concern, and I could see that he was worried about me. "Let's just go inside" I said wiping my hands on my jeans, and turning around to walk inside.

"Rain" Ryker's voice spoke, making me stop "What did your dad say"?

I closed my eyes as my back was still facing towards him, and my heart sunk. It was scary, how well he knew me. He always seems to know whats going on with me and why I'm upset. "Nothing" I breathed then walking inside the restaurant.
