Sequel cover to the side: also made by Angielicixus

Baylor's POV

His hands were everywhere, running down my spine, grasping at my waist and pulling at my hair. I grabbed his waist with one hand and guided him so he could straddle me. Taking my right arm I gripped the nape of his neck and crashed his lips onto mine. Our bodies were moving in sinc and I arched my back towards him which made him groan.

Finally we pulled apart and I just looked at him. "Say it out loud," I finally muttered.

"Say what?" He asked confused.

"Tell me that you love me," I spoke feeling more confident.

He looked at me with so much passion then that it was like my heart would burst. I loved this man, I loved how whenever I was upset he was there, I loved how he never cared if anyone saw me with him, I loved how he treated me as if I was his princess. I. loved. him.

"I love you so much," he claimed.

His lips were on mine, giving me a long closed mouth kiss but I smiled because of it. He was showing me that he loved me.

"Would you like to-"

Reid scrambled off of me and looked at the rest of my family standing there. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Never mind that- Ryder's out of surgery," Lance claimed.

I shot from my spot and grabbed my sling, then marched down the corridor with people running after me. When I got to see the doctor there we all looked at him with anticipation. "Well," he smiled sadly, "He's got a couple of broken ribs and the bullet just missed anything major, so he will live."

We all sighed in relief and I saw my grandma hugging my dad and Wiley hugging Lance because she was crying. I went over to her and poked her shoulder.

"Hey, long time no see," I stated softly.

She grabbed me and hugged me so tight on my left side that I think I might explode. "Don't ever do that to me again! I was worried sick... And I had to take care of this one because he was on a freaking tirade!" She wailed and pointed to Reid.

Laughing a bit I hugged her and then looked at Reid pointy. He held his hands up in a surrender motion to which I chuckled at. Ryder. "Can we go see him?" I asked the doctor suddenly.

He nodded, "He asked to see and I quote 'sugarplum'"

Reid tensed up a bit and I laughed at him. I kissed him briskly on the cheek and then walked to where the doctor was standing with a disapproving look on his face- oh. He thought I was cheating on Ryder with Reid. Wow, that was new. "He's gay," I explained.

"Then why was he all over you in your room?" The doctor questioned.

"No not Reid! Ryder is gay," I explained.

A look of understanding crossed over the doctors face and he simply nodded while continuing to guide me down the corridor. I swear that a bit of red coated his cheeks but I didn't press on it. "He's in here," he stated to a cherry wood door.

Nodding I grabbed the door handle and slowly turned it open and pressed on it with my good shoulder. "Hey Ryder," I said as I sat on his bed gingerly.

"Hey sugarplum," he cracked a smile.

I looked at him in sorrow, "If I didn't get captured you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

He finally opened his eyes, "Hey, don't blame yourself, I stepping in front of you, and your lucky by it because if I didn't it would have gone through your neck."

I gulped, "Thanks Ry."

He looked at me sadly, "You know I didn't mean any of that stuff that I said before right?"

I nodded and then looked around the room, my eyes wandering on every object in the room. "Where's Adele?" Ryder asked expectantly.

At the look of hope in his eyes I let my eyes water and I slowly shook my head. Ryder looked at me in shock. "She--sh-e's de-e-ad?" He asked.

Nodding my head I came over to him and hugged him to be careful of my arm and his stomach. Tears were pouring down his face and I stroked his hair every so often. He needed me at the moment and I would be there for him. He took a bullet for me.

"In the end your forget how much it hurts," I looked at him sadly.

He nodded shakily, "I want to bury her."

Smiling weakly I grabbed his hand and squeezed it in reassurance. "Of course," I said.

Silence enveloped the room and I then brushed the backs of my hands against my jeans. I silently kissing his forehead and then walked out of the room. "Reid?" I questioned when I got to the waiting room.

They all looked pretty broken and down and I needed to know why the change, Ryder was fine. "C'mere," Reid managed.

I nodded and walked over cautiously to where he was situated. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Hello," a voice sounded to my left.

My head turned over quickly and darted to the middle aged woman in worn down clothes that looked like she hadn't slept in weeks. "Hi?" I asked unsure of what else to say.

"I'm Xavier's mom," she sounded out.

My breath was knocked from my lungs and I didn't know how to respond. My lips kept trying to form words but I was left speechless.

She sighed, "You see Xavier is a sociopath, with schizophrenia. He hadn't been taking his medication for a while but I had no idea about it. I'm so sorry for the damage he has caused."

Shaking my head back and forth I looked at her unable to think of anything else, "I'm sorry for your loss."

She nodded curtly and exited the hospital doors before anyone else could say a single word. "So that's how he manipulated Adele? He was a sociopath," Ryder asked.

All of our heads whipped to where Ryder was rolling in on his wheelchair. "Ryder!" Wiley cried and practically tackled him.

"Don't ever do that again!" She exclaimed as fresh tears rolled down her eyes.

Lance looked a little peeved off about this and I rolled my eyes. Now there was two guys who were jealous of a gay guy.

"Hey," a voice said just as a head rested on my shoulder.

"Hi," I whispered and turned to face him.

Reid gripped my waist and pulled me closer to him while smiling. "So does this mean we are back together?" I asked.

He smiled and kissed my lips and smiled into them, "Baby I'm yours. Your going to be sick of how much I'm going to be around."

"Highly doubted," I smiled.

He shook his head and we just connected our lips for a fraction of a second.

"Ew stop the PDA that women is looking at us weird," Reid stopped me.

Looking over to where an elderly woman was seated she had a scowl on her face. Maybe I should pair her up with crazy frank. They would be old grumps together.

"Wow she seems tense," I muttered.

Reid snickered, "She should masturbate with a knife."

I gasped and pushed his shoulder, "Your disgusting."

"You love it."

"Sadly I do."

SO I WILL BE SPLITTING THE EPILOGUE INTO TWO PARTS! IT WILL BE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE END AND BEFORE THE SEQUEL. THANKS LOVELIES.
