Can't We Go Back (sequel to Life With The Lynches)

Breakups And Best Friends

Chris came into the room and wanted to talk to me in private. Everyone left, even Reghan. "Why do you want to talk to me?" I asked. "Umm, Riley, this isn't about today, don't think it is, it's just, um, I think we should break up". "Why?" I ask with tears threatening to escape. "I just feel like we have drifted apart these past 4 years. Here, I'll make it up to you". "How?!" I snapped.

"Riley, there's something I haven't told you when we met. And it's only because I wanted you to like me for who I am. I'm a famous youtuber and my cousin is Connor franta". "We can make a video today on my channel to make it up to you. I just want you to be happy". I mean I was really happy but I'm still sad.

We went home with Reghan in her wheelchair. We got home and Chris set up her tripod. "Okay, so today were gonna answer a few questions from my twitter, is that okay?" She asked. I nodded my head. "How are you doing today my little kittens?" She said into the camera.

"This is my girlfriend I told you guys about. But we have some news. Things are changing. We're going in a new direction". "We broke up" I clarified. I just looked at the ground the entire time. "But, nothing bad happened, it's just, we grew apart. And I want nothing but for her to be happy" she said. "So hopefully after this we can be best friends"Really? If you really wanted me to be happy you would have stayed with me.

We ended the video after about ten minutes and when we stopped recording I just about lost it.

"Really?! You really think we can be best friends after this?! I thought you wanted for me to be happy?!" I yelled. "Does this look like I'm happy?!" She looked like she was gonna yell back but she just started crying. "Riles, this is for the best" she teared up. "Christina! This isn't for the best! I'm still in love with you!" "Don't you dare call me by my damn full name! It's Chris!" She started to lose her temper.

"I'm doing what's best for me" she stated. "What about me?" "I'm sorry Riley but this is my final decision". She packed up the stuff in my room and put it into a bag. "A-are you leaving?" I cried. "I have no place to go, I'll be living in the basement" she said and left.

Everyone was outside the door when she opened it. She went through them and I cried into Rockys arm. I can't believe this was all happening before tour. First Reghan tries to commit suicide now she's mentally retarted and Chris breaks up with me. Great.

Michael and Ellie walk up to me. "Awe you okay auntie Wiwey?" Michael asks. I dry up a few tears. "Yeah, I'm fine". I can't tell them the truth. I take a nap and fall asleep.

"Wake up Riley" Rydel wakes me up. "Did I stay asleep?" I asked. She nodded her head. I looked out the window and it was definitely morning. Then Reghan rolled in. "Hey Wiwey" she said. I waved. I really didnt feel like talking. "Riley, can you play with her this morning? She didn't want to go to sleep last night she just wanted to play so me and Ell stayed up all night" she exclaimed.

"Yeah sure" I said and hopped out of bed. We went into the living room and let me tell you, it's a lot harder to get a 20 year old out of a wheelchair than you might think. I got some race cars and she started playing with them. "Zoom zoom" she drooled.

It was breakfast time for her and I had to feed her. I sat her up in her high chair and fed her some Cheerios. But she didnt want them so I tried a mushed up muffin. Nope. "Reghan, you have to eat" I said. That made her really angry. She started flailing her arms and her face turned red. Then she started screaming and crying. I tried to force some Cheerios into her mouth while she was screaming but she grabbed my arm and twisted it.

"Feed me again and I'll break your arm" she threatened. And honestly I didn't want to take that chance. Before Rydel could come down, she pinched me and her nails dug in and ripped off part of my skin. "Ow!" I yelled. Rydel ran down the stairs and put her on time out. "Rydel, can you get me a band-aid?" I asked. It was bleeding like crazy.

"Reghan! Look what you did to your aunt!" Rydel yelled showing her the bleeding spot on my arm before putting a band-aid on it. She looked at it for a second before spitting on it. "Ow!" I cried out in pain. It burned like hell.

She put the band-aid on my arm and took Reghan, Ell and Ellie back home. "See you on tour. And sorry about Reghan. She will be getting a punishment" she said before wheeling Reghan out the door.

I watched one of my favourite shows- the next step- for a couple of minutes before the bell rang. I went to go get it and saw Emily, Stephanie, Tiffany and Giselle (we call her Ellie). They are my friends from dance. I went to alot of dance rehearsals but the drama got a bit too much so I haven't went the past week.

Emily has short blonde hair down to her shoulders and she's usually wearing blue and she likes to wear headbands. Stephanie is really ran and she has long black hair and she likes to wear pink. Tiffany is black and she has black Afro hair. She's a hip hop dancer. Giselle has curly red hair. She's really flexible. (Picture at the beginning of the chapter) We call ourselves the E-Girls. Riley, Emily, Stephanie, Tiffany and Ellie. We have alot of rules for E-Girls.

E-Girl rule #1- an E-Girl always has another E-Girls back

E-Girl rule #2- to be an E-Girl you must be in A-Troupe

E-Girl Rule #3- what an E-Girl wants, an E-Girl gets

There's about 57 more rules. We have it written down in a book. We also have this secret handshake that we do you make an E and then you pair it up with another E-Girl to make a G. It feels so awesome to be apart of their friendship because 1- you're never left out 2- you feel like you're a part of something and you're never excluded and 3- you get in on all the crazy pranks and gossip and drama.

Emily is kind of like the leader of E-Girls. We follow her around but we're also all apart of a team. Right now Emily is dating some guy named Hunter who is a hip hop dancer but she's cheating on him with someone named West.

We have this special place where we hang out at a juice bar in the building where our A-troupe, B-troupe and J-troupe are. It's called Squeezed. We have this special spot reserved for us with an assigned seat for everybody. Emily sits next to Stephanie, who sits next to Tiffany who sits next to Giselle who sits next to me and I sit next to Emily. Kind of confusing.

"Hey, how come you and the others weren't at dance rehearsal this week?" Giselle asked. "Oh you know, family drama and stuff. I'll be back once more before your though" I promised. Giselle was really caring. She cared about everybody and wanted to make sure everyone was happy. Tiffany was a rebel child. She loved to party and stay up late. Stephanie and Emily were the friends who would stick to your side no matter if you're wrong or right.

"Can we come in?" Emily asked. I nodded my head and they made their way into the living room. Chris came up from downstairs but she didn't want it to be awkward between me and her so she avoided the E-Girls. We talked for a while and caught up.

"Yeah and here's a picture of my cat when he was younger" I said showing them pictures on my phone. Hunter is really old now and he just sleeps around the house. He's no longer cute and energetic. Just lazy. "And here's some pictures of my cousins, nieces and nephews".

The left after an hour or two and I found this old photo of me and Rydel posing with our suitcases before we got on the bus. It made me cry. Them another picture of me and Riker smiling it brang back memories of the joys and difficulties of tour. This was going to be a long tour.
