Chapter 84
Ryder’s point of view:
It was obvious that Jake will not be coming any time soon when Lea called him. I could hear the slur in his voice when he answered the call and with the music playing in the background, he was at a party and already too drunk to understand what Lea was trying to tell him.
Even though I wanted to maintain some distance from Lea like I have been doing for a few days now, I knew that I would have to let her tend to my wounds.
I understood why being so close to her felt so wrong but at the same time, felt so right. I immediately realized that I needed to get away before it got too late.
I just can’t get too close to Lea. Last time I got this close to a girl, I was fucked up. That girl was my first and last girlfriend. She fucking cheated on me and screwed me over for good. I loved her but I guess, she never really had the same feelings for me because if she did, she would have never cheated on me. I was neve

Ryder’s point of view: My mood promptly turned sour when I saw Tom along with two other guys whom I recognized seeing at the racetracks waiting outside. How stupid can Tom be that he decided to try his luck again tonight? Wasn’t that fight from earlier enough? Maybe he fell for my punches? I tried my best to forget the pain shooting up my leg when I walked towards him. I stopped when I reached him and stood with my back straight to face him. Another lightning ripped heaven apart before another roll of thunders fiercer than the one before tore the ghostly silence into pieces. The storm was finally here. Large, heavy, ragged black clouds hung over our heads. The storm pierced through the growing tension and thrummed with the desire to say aloud whatever hung in the air between Tom and me. “Please, be nice.” Lea begged as she held onto my forearms, preventing me from advancing towards T

Ryder’s point of view:Lea’s eyes shifted to something behind me. Her eyes widened. Her entire body went paralyzed with fear. Before I could ask her what was wrong, she quickly turned me around.“Ryder, watch out!” Lea shouted.My own eyes widened in utter disbelief when a baseball bat was hurled at me.Seeing how fast it was coming my way, I swiftly turned back around, covered Lea’s head and shielded her.I winced and squeezed my eyes tightly shut when the baseball bat hit the back of my left arm.It broke in half before splintering into fragments.I swiftly turned back around to check who threw that bat.I clenched my jaw when I saw no one in sight.“Ryder, l-let’s get inside.” Lea tried to pull me inside but I stayed put.“I know you’re hiding. Come out.” I shouted.I kept my eyes on the nearby bush to check for any

Ryder’s point of view:Despite the rain which was pouring down on us, I felt like I was suddenly splashed with cold yet hot water. My hold on the man loosened. I let go of him completely before standing up but before I could stand up, I was forcefully hit at the back of my head with something hard. I flinched.I quickly wrapped my hands around the back of my head and cried out in pain when I felt my ears ring. Everything turned deaf for a split second before I started hearing the rain and the man’s uncontrollable laughter.“Ryder…” I heard Lea screaming my name.I turned to glance in the direction of her voice to find a man pulling her out of the house by the back of her hair.The sudden fear that overtook her was starkly visible on her face.Streams of tears flowed faster than my heartbeat from her eyes.Tears of pain and fear ran down her cheeks.Feeling disoriented and dizzy, I

Ryder’s point of view: When I woke up, I found myself lying on the floor. The moment I moved, my head pinched with pain. I stopped moving. I closed my eyes tightly shut and waited till the pain dissipated. I tried to sit up only to realize that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I felt something trail down the back of my neck and the side of my head. I instantly knew that it was blood. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was. I shook my head slightly to prevent the blood from getting into my eyes. I did not want to be blinded any further than I was already. I coughed and winced slightly when I tasted the metallic taste in my mouth. The side of my lips stung. I gulped to try and get rid of that taste but to no avail. I held my breath when

Ryder’s point of view:“The fuck is wrong with you, man. That’s your daughter.” I said through gritted teeth.I felt disgusted to look at his shitty face.He was not worthy of being called a father.“She is not my fucking daughter.” Thomas retaliated furiously.Lea calmed down slightly when Thomas placed the chair back in place.“Y-You can’t be my f-father.” Lea mumbled quietly.Thomas stilled entirely. I watched his expression change on the spot. His face went pale in astonishment. The face that was red with anger just a while ago was suddenly as white as a sheet.He slowly turned around to look at Lea.Unlike earlier, Lea did not flinch in fear when her father glanced at her.She stared right back into his eyes with confidence.It was dreading to watch him approach Lea as a predator would his prey. Lea gulped back the tears that had fi

Ryder’s point of view:“What the actual fuck are you -”His head jerked backwards when the piece of glass slit and penetrated his throat halfway with a sickening crack.The next few words he was trying to say got stuck in his throat.He did not have time to react.He could not step away on time.His eyes widened in disbelief before watering in pain.Blood gushed out as rapidly as water exploding out a broken dam.He instinctively caught his throat with his hands.Blood seeped through his trembling fingers.He appeared troubled when he pulled his hands away from his throat.As much as I wanted to stare at him while he suffocated in tremor and pain, I searched for another piece of glass lying around on the ground behind me. When I found another one, I sliced through the rope tied up around my ankles before standing up. I held the glass in my right hand.Thomas’s

Lea’s point of view: My heart dropped to my stomach when I heard his demand. Ryder’s body went rigid. I heard a deep rumble reverberated in his chest as he tightened his grip around me and held me close. I felt safe being in his arms like this. I would not want to ever let go of him. “Dare you dare even try that!” Ryder’s voice was tight when he spoke. “I don’t think you are in a position to refuse me, kid.” The man’s voice raised an octave before I heard his half-suppressed snigger. “I don’t remember giving you the right to judge me.” Ryder refuted. “Huh, you don’t look right in the head, kid.” “You’re right but with bastards like you, this is exactly how I should be.” “I dare you to say that again.” “Why? Are you deaf now?” “You piece of shit -” I felt a gush of air hitting my back and a loud swoosh of air was heard before I heard a thud. I tightened my arms around the back of

Lea’s point of view: The tension filling up the entire space within the room was overpowering than before. Everyone could feel it. The other men surrounding us within a circle shifted awkwardly on their feet while glancing at their companions standing beside them but remained quiet. It was clear that they were scared for their leader. Ryder’s fists balled at his sides, the veins in his arms protruding and throbbing from the rising tension. The tiny hairs on my body raised, goose bumps littering my skin. A strange feeling of anticipation flooded my system. I knew that Ryder was not a guy who would just go down without a fight but I was worried for him. My heart swelled when I realized that despite being badly injured, he was determined to fight for me. I gasped when the man threw a fist directly at Ryder’s face. Ryder’s head jerked to the right with the punch. He held his chin before clenching his jaw in anger.
