Riker's P.O.V
We're now back at the hotel, walking into the lobby when Selena calls me. "Herro, beautiful," I laugh.
"Riker, Ella locked her door but she just got into the shower five minutes ago and I'm so scared!" She yells in my ear.
I run to the elevator. "I'm on my way," I say as I repeatably press the button.
"Bro, chill. What's going on?" Rocky asks as we walk into the elevator.
"I can't chill because my daughter won't answer her phone and she locked Selena out of her (Ella's) room!" I growl. I run to Ella's room, Ross at my side. We both pound on the door. Ross slides his key in and it opens. We look at each other before running in. "Ella?" I call.
Ross runs to the bathroom. "She's in here," he whispers.
I walk over. "Daddy, help me!" She cries out. I slightly open the door, looking at my bloody daughter. "Daddy," she sobs.
I run over to her, lifting her off the floor. "Get me towels," I say to Ross. He nods as I set her on the counter. "Baby, calm down," I whisper as she sobs harder and harder.
She shakes her head. "I'm sorry!" She says about 6 or 7 times. Ross helps me wash off her arms and wrap them. "I'm sorry," she whispers.
Ross leans against the wall near the door. "Ell, please stop doing this to yourself," I beg.
"You don't understand," she whines.
I hug her tightly. "Then make me," i whisper.
"I wasn't there to support you, I've put so much stress on everyone.. I'm sick of being the reason for everyone's stress and feeling like the lost cause," she mumbles against my shoulder. "I'm sick of being this fucking teenager who isn't worth shit."
I shake my head, holding her tighter. "You're my world, Ella. Please don't ever think you aren't anything because you're worth way more than I can explain."
"And you're beautiful," Ross says behind me.
We pull apart to see him show her a small smile. I kiss her forehead. "Get some sleep tonight,please?" She nods in response. "Okay, love you."
"Love you too," she says as I walk to the door.
"Stay with her tonight," I whisper to Ross.
He nods as I exit the room.
Ella's P.O.V
After Riker walks out, Ross walks over to me. I put my hands on his shoulders as he wraps his arms around my waist. "Wrap your legs around my waist. I'll carry you to bed to watch movies and cuddle." I do as I'm told. He lays me on the bed and I release him from my grasp. He turns on the tv before grabbing the remote and crawling in bed with me. I scoot away from him a little bit, keeping my distance.
I have this weird feeling and I'm not sure what it is. I just need a little space for now. That's okay right? Wrong.
"What's wrong?" He asks as he props himself on his elbows.
I fold my hands and rest them on my stomach. "Nothing, just uncomfortable," I shrug. He looks at me weird before getting up. He takes a piss before coming back. "Can I lay on you?" I ask, innocently.
He nods. "Yeah, you don't have to ask," he sighs as he lifts his arm. I lay my head on his chest, wrapping my arm around him. "okay, I understand that you're upset and all, but why're you acting so different?" He asks after about twenty minutes. I shrug as I wipe away a tear. He pulls me onto his waist. "Tell me what's wrong, baby. I'm here to listen," he says with a gentle smile.
He gently rubs my sides under my shirt. "Everything," I mumble as I play with the bottom of my shirt.
"Can you be more specific for me? Remember, everything that happens between us, stays between us."
I nod, putting my hands on his abs. "I feel like I'm never good enough, ya know? Like, God only knows how much hate we're going to get because I'm your brothers daughter and everything. I've already been getting shit about being adopted by him and it just keeps growing every time someone sees us together," I whisper.
"Yes, life is tough. But we do this together, okay? Me and you, together. We don't give up, no matter how hard things get." He says sternly. I nod as I lay on top of him. He twirls my hair with one hand as the other holds my butt. "I love you, babe," he whispers before kissing my cheek.
I look up and kiss his lips. "I love you too," I say as I lay my head back down.
