Ratliff's POV
I hear Rydel crying and it breaks my heart. I cant stand it anymore. I bang on the door.
"Delly, Let me in now! Im worried about you! Did something happen at the park? Please answer me... Mark needs you. He shouldnt have to see you like this Delly. He needs you, you're his mom. He keeps asking for you. C'mon Delly, open up...please?"-Ratliff
"G-Go away! I dont wanna see anybody right now!"-Rydel
"I love you Delly, I need you to talk to me! I cant stand to see you so upset! Please tell me whats wrong? Is it the baby? Did you hurt yourself? Was it me? Delly please..."-Ratliff
I cant hold back any longer. The tears that had been pricking my eyes finally fell. I sniffled, wiping away the tears.
My voice cracks as I try calling out to her.
"D-Delly..."-Ratliff
I just break down. I start full on crying. I hear Rydel shuffling on the other side of the door and she opens it.
As soon as I see her tear stained face I automatically cry more. I run into her arms and she hugs me tightly. I cry into her neck and she cries into mine.
We finally pull apart and she pulls me inside the room, locking it behind us.
"Delly, whats wrong?"-Ratliff
"Ell, I'm fine, honestly..."-Rydel
"Rydel! I've known you for years... You're lying!"-Ratliff
"Ellington! I can't tell you! I'm dying to tell you but I cant! It's breaking me apart. I don't know what to do... Ell, I'm sorry but I have to do this... Its-"-Rydel
Just then theres banging on the door, interrupting Rydel.
"Who is it?"-Rydel
"Riker"-Riker
"One Sec..."-Rydel
She wipes the tears away and stands up. She unlocks the door and there's Riker standing there with Mark on his hip.
"He kept asking for you guys..."-Riker
"Thanks bro."-Ratliff
"Have you been crying?"-Riker
"No...It's Allergies..."-Ratliff
"Sureee... Anyway, Dad wants band rehearsal in 5 minutes so you better come quick!"-Riker
"Sure Thing...Be there in a sec!"-Ratliff
He walks away and I turn back to Rydel.
"Continue..."-Ratliff
"It's fine, It's nothing to worry about... Lets go!"-Rydel
"Delly-"-Ratliff
"I said it's fine, now just drop it!"-Rydel
She walked straight past me.
I walked out with Mark in my arms and went to join the rest of the guys.
During the rehearsal, Rydel kept zoning out, messing up and letting tears fall. There's something she's not telling me...
After a couple hours band rehearsal finished and we were free to do whatever we want.
Rydel walked into the living room, turned on the TV and put 'Tangled' on.
The only time she ever watches that film is when she is upset or scared.
