Ryleigh's POV
"We've been getting a lot of hate lately" Rydel said to me as she was putting the final touches on my hair in her bedroom "this girl WeHateYouR5 keeps hating on everything we do and a couple more hate accounts too. A lot of people are seeing it. I think that it's really getting to Ross' head. I'm a little scared for him I don't want things to get serious. Plus it's bad for our publicity"
"Do you want me to talk to him? I think I can help him out" I said. I had no idea what she meant by serious but I didn't want to find out.
"No don't this can be our little secret ok? I don't want anyone to know I told you. Even though I know he'll listen to you it's better off if you don't say a word I think he wants to try and handle it himself. If he knew I told you..." she didn't need to finish. I already knew what would happen.
"Alright" I agreed even though I was still a bit worried about Ross. They didn't usually get upset over hate hense the fact that Ross was always saying 'haters gonna hate,potatoes gonna potate' so this must have been pretty bad. For the rest of the night we just did girly things like painting our nails and talking. My thoughts kept getting interuppted by the thought of hate. I decided I would check out the accounts later. Finally it was time to go to bed (we weren't really people to stay up past 12:00 at our sleepovers plus R5 has a tour coming up which meant lots of late nights) but I decided I would say goodnight to Ross , and everyone else,first. I looked in his room and he wasn't there he wasn't in Riker and Rocky's room either. "Come on I think they're downstairs" Rydel whispered. As she spoke I could here the bickering coming from the living room. When I got downstairs it was dead silent until Riker spoke up.
"Hey Rydel did you know that Ryleigh is dating Ross?" For a minute she had a shocked look on her face but it was quickly replaced by happiness
"Well I think they are very cute together" and she smiled at Ross and then me. "Why didn't you tell me?" She whispered to me 'sorry' I mouthed.
"Seriously? That's all that you have to say about this?" Riker said
"Ya that's all I don't understand what your getting so upset about" Riker sat back down feeling defeated
"I guess..." he said
"there's no reason to be upset ...people do grow up"
Ross' POV
I decided to tell my family and Ratliff that I was dating Ryleigh but it didn't go so well. My mom and dad were upset because they didn't want to see me hurt like I was with Laura or to see Ryleigh hurt because she was practically family. I explained to them that Ryleigh was different but they weren't convinced. Riker was upset for some reason Rocky and Ratliff were on Rikers side (again I didn't know what was going on) I asked them why they were mad but they wouldn't even talk to me and Ryland was totally ok with it (which helped the situation a lot) . We stopped talking when Ryleigh came down because we didn't want her to know what we were saying about her (some pretty bad stuff even though she was our best friend when people in this family got mad which was rare they got MAD)
"Well goodnight Ross" she said and she kissed me on the cheek totally ignoring the looks from my family members. She hugged me and a couple seconds later she pulled away and as soon as she went upstairs the bickering continued. I wish it would stop I wish I could just tell my family things without them getting so protective. Most people probably wished they had a family like mine but all I wanted was that they would be more supportive and less protective. If I felt better about it I could tell them what has been bothering me. Maybe I wouldn't be doing what I was about to do.
Ryleigh's POV
When I woke up Rydel wasn't in the room she was probably eating breakfast I decided. She was always awake before me. I was not a morning person. I got dressed quickly in jean shorts and a flowery crop top and a leather jacket and black converse (my usual) and slowly made my way downstairs. What I saw suprised me. Big time. The Lynch's and Ell were gathered around the table looking at something. I noticed Ross was missing. Weird. Rydel and Stormie looked like they were crying and the boys looked pretty upset. I had never seen them like this before they were some of the happiest people I knew "Where's Ross" I asked no answer. Louder sobs. And Rocky bursted into tears. "Where's Ross?" I said a little louder. Everyone was crying now when I mentioned Ross a second time
A/N I cut the original chapter so I could leave it off at a sort of cliff hanger. So the next chapter will be super long. What do you think happened to Ross? 40 views for next chapter.
