Ryker Thompson
"I don't want to remember the bad when I'm with you baby..."
Her lips, the feel and taste, how sweet and light they were stayed on his lips long after they left. Ryker listened to her speak quietly, a small grin on his lips and a laugh following her comment about keeping her hoes happy. It made him think, his mind went rolling for a moment to imagine something more with Tatum, what would it be like to wake up beside her and too never part ways. Come home to her at night after a long night of work, but another voice shut the door on that image roughly with a slam. He was Ryker Thompson, son of a bastard who never stayed and a mom who stopped caring, a black sheep who wasn't fit for the slaughter, it almost soured him before she spoke to him.
"I missed you Tatum," Ryker spoke softly and squeezed her hand, bringing the tips of her finger to his lips, "I'm glad you're here, it's always nice to have someone as beautiful as you in my corner." He sighed quietly, knowing it'd be wise to get through this story right now so they could talk about other things, fun things.
"I was out riding my bike, it was… Early in the morning on December first apparently, I didn't know because of how hard I crashed. I was speeding pretty fast when I hit a patch of black ice, my back wheel went out underneath me and I started sliding…" Ryker could feel his chest tighten, but holding Tatum's hand kept the panic at bay while the images and sounds of that night came flying by like a bad movie. The bike and I smashed into a retaining wall, thank god I was wearing my leathers or I'd have no skin left, but my arm got snapped in the crash in two places. I woke up in the hospital for a second, but I immediately went back under because of the morphine they had me on." He shifted in the seat, glancing briefly at the sleeve that covered his surgery scars. "Had surgery, got better, went to rehab but…" The frown darkened his face, made his eyes darker with pain and a twinge of fear, "Something felt wrong in rehab, I kept getting hotter and hotter like I was gonna melt, couldn't keep food down or anything else, I was getting sicker but no one listened to me. I was on a video call with grandpa and he realized how bad I was, so he started calling the hospital. Nothing makes people listen better than an angry Australian man calling everyone a raging I'm uncultured cause they're not taking good enough care of his grandson." The grin came back, but it wasn't happy, it was mirthless before the frown came back. "A doctor came to see me finally, my surgical sutures were infected and stinking like death when they took the bandage off then I just...coded, my heart stopped and that's what I remembered." His shoulders shrugged, "When I came too, it was in the ICU and it had been seven days. On a vent, in a medically induced coma, still in raging pain but alive. They released me to rehab, then I went home in February. I still do physical therapy and like you know...I have a counselor cause I get these crippling panic attacks just looking at my bikes sometimes…" He sighed tiredly and smiled a little, looking over at Tatum made him feel a little brighter and warmer. "So...that's my near death story, what's yours?"
