Rain (ChaoticMonki fanfiction)

Chapter 3:

Alice's P.O.V:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to Ryan's warm breath against my shoulder. Painfully, I tried to hold back a sneeze that will probably make me sound like a puppy. I looked around the room in panic, unaware of where I was. I wasn't with Christa... Shit!

I managed to wriggle out of Cry's arms and slip out of the room, slipping on my shoes and attempting to slide out of the door inaudible, but to no avail. As I was about to open the front door, Cry started to walk down the stairs. I instantly panicked.

Wait... Why am I panicking?

I instantly leapt behind the couch, hoping to be unseen. He didn't seem to notice. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I spotted something in the shadows. It was just... lurking there. It gave me a creepy smile before hobbling off into darkness.

"What is it?" Ryan asked, giving me a glare that made me feel a tad childish. "I... Saw something over there... It just stared at me..." I whimpered, finally letting out the sneeze that did make me sound like a cute little flu infected kitten. Ry just laughed. He took my hand and pulled me up from behind the couch, frowning when he saw my face. He probably thinks I'm crazy now.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you run away from us last night?" Ryan asked, propping me on his lap like a child. I don't really want to tell him...

"Well, my sister... Loved Felix so much. She loved Felix and had a short relationship with him. When she got cancer, they broke up. Felix was never there for Lacey and she warned me to keep away from him. I fear I'll end up like her..." I explained, tears threatening to spill. I managed to hold them back as Cry wrapped his arms around me sympathetically. I rested my head on his broad shoulder, inhaling his vanilla scent.

"I-I'm sorry. I should've known... I'll keep you safe." Ryan whispered soothingly into my ear. I held my breath for a slight moment. I placed a light kiss on his cheek before pulling away from the hug. I really don't like being hugged. After my sister died with me tightly in her arms, I refused to be held by anyone ever again. It's a hard promise to keep, but for Lacey, I'll do it.

Anything for Lacey. I remember those tearful green eyes that closed as I tightly hugged her, begging for her not to go. But it didn't work. Her life string snapped and there was nothing I could do but mourn her every day for 16 years. I sometimes left flowers, sometimes I just spoke to her. I knew that she could hear me, wherever she was. It made me feel happy knowing I could talk to her when I was down. I eventually slipped into depression when I was 15, but managed to pull myself out of it by the time I was 18. Everything was too hard within those long 3 years.

Ryan lifted me up and got up, placing me down on the couch and walking into the kitchen. After what seemed like a few minutes, Ryan walked out with 2 bowls of ice cream. I smiled warmly as he handed me a bowl and sat next to me. After a long minute of channel surfing, we found Adventure Time. Cry started to sing along to the tuned as I just laughed.

After a long 30 minutes of getting dug deep into cartoons and eating ice cream, it was 12:30. "I should get back now. Christa is probably wondering where I am." I suddenly exclaimed, picking up my handbag. I quickly kissed Ryan lightly on his soft lips before saying goodbye and walking out the door. As I walked down the road, I realized that... I have feelings for Cry.

Once I arrived back at home, I headed straight to my room to grab my laptop. As I walked out, I realized that someone just locked it. I'm fucking trapped! What the heck?! Did Christa do it? Luckily, U had my mobile with me and I sent a quick text to Cry. Why would Christa so this? Is... Is she jealous?
