I watched as they took Ross away in handcuffs.

Calum got rushed to the hospital.

"This is all my fault!" I cried into Gabby's shoulder.

"What? No it's not! Calum started all of this!" She said rubbing my back.

"But I'm the one who told him the wrong thing!" I cried harder.

"Ugh. Now I have to call Stormie and tell her that her son is in jail and it is MY fault." I said wiping my tears.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number.

"Hello? May?" A soft voice said.

"Um yea." I said.

"Oh hello sweetheart." She said.

"Hi. I have something to tell you." I said, on the verge of crying.

"Yes. What is it?" She says sounding worried now.

"Ross is in jail for hitting Calum with a metal stick. He was trying to help me and Gabby, but it wasn't self defense, so he went to jail. It's all my fault!" I said, now fully crying.

"What? Okay I will be right there. Where are you?" She said and I heard yelling in the background.

"I'm at Calum's house. Do you know where it's at?" I asked.

"Yea I took Ryland there before. I will be right there." She said franticly.

"Okay. Bye." I said and hung up.

I go outside and curl up on the porch, taking in sunlight.

Then a thought ran into my mind.

Well since Ross and his family have a pretty decent amount of money, maybe we can bail him out.

Wow. I am so freaking stupid for not thinking of that.

Within minutes, Riker pulls in the driveway.

"Hey where is everyone else?" I ask curiously.

"They went to go figure this out. Maybe bail him out." He said the last part quietly.

"We can split it you know. The money." I offer.

"I mean we don't have to split it... but you can help if you want." He suggests.

"Okay." I say.

Riker and I just talk about life.

I comfort him.

He comforts me.

He's the best big brother I never had.

About three hours later, someone is here.

Stormie, Mark, Rydel, Rocky, Ellington, and Ross step out of the van.

"Ross!" I yell with excitement.

He runs up to me and pulls me into a tight hug.

"I love you so much." I whisper in his ear.

"I love you more." He whispers back.
