One Night Stand With The Bad Boy

One Night Stand With The Bad Boy (11)

Maybe I shouldn't like Reece so much? But he was so protective when Kiera came back. What am I going to do now?

"Hey," I greeted, he grumbled and sat down.

"Rough night?" I asked, pouring his coffee.

"What?" He snapped, looking me dead in the eye. Woah dude, chill.

"Jesus, what got up your hole this morning?" I was pushing his buttons, I could tell from the way he was scowling at me.

"What's wrong with me?" He suddenly blurted out, after a few seconds in silence.

"What do you mean?" I asked, sitting down opposite him.

"I went out last night, I didn't have s*x with anyone, because of you." He pointed at me.

"How is it my fault you didn't have s*x?" I couldn't help but feel relived though, he didn't have s*x because of me. River 1, Reece 0.

"Because, you stopped me, and your stupid dimple." He muttered, looking down.

"So because of me and my dimple, you didn't have s*x?" I was going to burst out laughing any second, is he serious?

"Yeah, just don't talk to me, or smile, or move, everything you do has a stupid effect on me." He got up, pacing around the room.

"Yeah let me just become a vege-." Before I could finish, a knock came from the door.

"Open up, it's me Kylie. You called me to come, Reece?" She kept banging the door until he opened it. I was hurt, after everything she's done, that's who he calls.

"Have fun Reece." I stood up and went to storm into my bedroom, how could he? I was stopped half way.

"River I wasn't thinking, I needed a distrac-."

"We'll you better hurry along then," I cut him off, "you don't want to keep your distraction waiting." How could he do such a thing? Stupid prick.

"GET OUT KYLIE!" He screamed.

"But baby you calle-."

"Yeah and it was a freaking mistake, f**k OFF!" I heard the door slam again, is she gone? I tiptoed out, hoping she was.

"River?" I looked to my left, the direction the small voice was coming from.

"I'm sorry okay, please forgive me." How couldn't I? He looked too cute.

"You hurt me Reece." He nodded knowingly. "Don't ever do it again." I went straight back to my room, getting changed into my clothes for the day.

I put on a big woolly jumper with a pair of jeans, I wasn't going anywhere today.

"River?" Reece called. I loved when he said my name, it sounded so sweet rolling off his tongue.

"Yes sweety pie?" I called out sweetly. Their was silence for a few minutes, then a sigh. I giggled silently to myself.

"For your sake, I'm choosing to ignore the name. Change into something comfy, we're going ice skating." Ohhhh, I jumped up and down in excitement, changing into my comfier jeans as fast as I could, running to the door.

"I'm ready." I smiled broadly, causing him to chuckle. What? I love ice skating.

"Excited?" He asked. "Do you have any classes today?"

"Literature, but that's not until this evening." I smiled again, I loved ice skating. "Who's coming." I jumped up and down.

"All the guys, and Kiera," he said smiling.

"Yes!! When are we going?!" I couldn't contain the excitement.

"River, can we talk about one thing first? It'll only take a second." His expression changed from amused at my silly behaviour to serious within a few seconds.

"Sure thing, is everything okay?" I chuckled nervously.

"If Kiera, or anyone for that matter, tries to hurt you again, come straight to me, please." His eyes looked so serious and sincere, all I could do was nod. Why is he caring so much?

"Why though? Why are you trying to protect me? I thought I was bad for your image?" I asked looking down at my now, very interesting floor.

"Because," he tilted my head up towards him. "No one hurts my girl." With that he placed a soft gentle kiss on my cheek. I hated possessiveness, but coming from Reece, I loved it.

"And don't worry River, f**k my reputation."

•~•~•

"You okay sweetheart?" He was helping a pretty girl up that fell. So much for being your girl. Don't get jealous River, he just helped her. That's all, don't show your true colours just yet.

"Come on River." Trevor grabbed my hand, making me go super fast in my skates. I was a pro skater, we'll in my mind I was.

"I'll race ye," I looked at them, to see if they were all here. Everyone was, except Reece. "From one end to the other." I half shouted.

"ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!" Trevor screamed. We all booted off, I was coming first, of course. Keira was right behind me. I looked back too see where everyone else was, biggest mistake ever. I came in contact with this hard chest, flying backwards. I screamed in pain.

"RIVER!" Reece came running over, oh so now you stop eating the slut to help. I tried to move, but I couldn't.

"I-I can't m-move." I was scared, I couldn't feel anything in my body from my legs down.

"River come on, move your leg for me." I couldn't feel it, I looked down at my lifeless legs, and stared at the ceiling.

"I-I'm p-paralyzed," I stuttered. It was numb, I couldn't feel a single muscle below my hips.

"This is all my fault, I shouldn't ha-." I cut him off before he could say anymore.

"It's not your fault," I heard the sirens from the ambulance as I was lifted in.

"Only one person can come," the guy said to my friends.

"I'm coming." Reece immediately said. "This is completely my fault." I didn't care who came if I'm honest.

"I'll drive the guys, mum has a seven seater. I'll call your dad," Kiera said. She smiled at both Reece and myself, then took off with the lads on toe.

•~•~•

"I-I'm w-what?" I looked at the doctor in disbelief. This can't be happening, why is it always me that this s**t happens to?

"You hit a nerve in your back Ms. Wild, mean-."

"River." I corrected him.

"Sorry, River, you hit a nerve in your back, and your head. You may never be able to walk again, unless a miracle happened." I looked at him in disbelief. Way to be blunt about it.

"Will she be able to have s*x?" Trevor asked, looking at my legs in disbelief as well. The doctor laughed at his comment, and so did I if I'm honest.

"Of course, she still has feeling in, that area." I blushed deeply. It doesn't matter if I can or can't have s*x. Who the hell is ever going to want to be with me anymore? How do I introduce myself now? Hi I'm River, but you can call me wheels or wheels almighty, whichever you prefer.

"We can get you a carer, and a perma-."

"NO," Reece stomped his foot like a ten year old boy who didn't get the action figure he wanted. I couldn't help but giggle at his immatureness.

"I'm going to look after her, she is my girl after all," he winked at me. Yeah, your girl.

"That's why you were over eating that girls face." I looked down quitely.

I never saw him kiss her, but I'm pretty sure that's what he went to do. They were out of site for quite awhile.

"You mean the girl that fell? She liked Cian? I didn't touch off her, nor would I ever. If you didn't witness it with your own eyes, don't automatically make assumptions." I turned bright bright red, jealousy is horrible, and I felt it an awful lot with Reece.

"Aw was little River jealous," he patted my head. I scowled.

"NO!" YES! OF COURSE IM FREAKING JEALOUS YOU BABOON!

*cough* "I hate to interrupt but seriously Ms. Wi-, River, would you like a carer?" He asked. "Sometimes people prefer a professional carer who knows the right things to do, and the wrong things not do." He said, eyeing up all of my friends.

"Why would I? With these bunch of professional goofs taking care of me, I'm paralyzed, not dead." Everyone laughed at this, even I cracked a smile. I was paralyzed, and it would be a miracle if I ever walked again. I honestly don't know what to think or say. But what I do know is, I've amazing friends, who are going to be their throughout this entire process.

"You're a strong girl River, most people would be doubled over crying by now, you're special." The doctor smiled at me. I'm just waiting for one of the guys to make a smart comment.

"Yeah she's special alright," Reece said. Smart bastard. Before I could think of anything to say, in came my dad with Sandy.

"My beautiful princess, what happened?" He gave Sandy over to Trevor, and grabbed both of my cheeks, kissing my forehead. Poor Trevor held her out as if she was diseased. I did the exact same the first time I met her, but I love her to bits now. Reece went over and she immediately held out her arms for Reece to hold her. The first time he ever met Sandy, he was a nervous wreck, now he absolutely adores her.

"Long story short, I fell on the ice, damaged some nerves, now I'm paralysed from the hips down, it'll be a miracle if I ever walk again." I said all at once.

"My poor baby girl," he kissed my head again. "We'll have to get you home straight away an-."

"No dad, I'm staying here, I want to beat this." I'd anything I was determined to prove everyone wrong.

Do I believe in miracles?

No.

But if anything, I believe I would be able to walk again, with determination and focus.

Bring it.
