Ross and I walk around for a while. We look back over to where everyone else was and we notice that the guys are starting to build a fire.

"We should head back." I say to Ross.

"Can we just stay right here for a couple minutes?" He says as he stands in front of me and his eyes move from my eyes, to my lips, back to my eyes.

I bite my lip and smile.

He leans in and kisses me.

He deepens the kiss as he grabs my hips making me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck and smile into the kiss.

Ross pulls away for a second.

"Jump." He whispers against my lips.

As I jump up, Ross loses balance and falls back into the sand with me landing on top of him.

I reposition myself so my legs are on either side of him, and he grabs onto my thighs.

"I like this better." He says smirking.

I smile and roll my eyes and I lean down and kiss him again.

"Would you two like to join us, or are you too busy making out?" Rocky yells at us.

We pull away and start laughing.

I stand up and hold my hand out to help Ross up.

We walk back to everyone else holding hands.

"You two looked like you were having fun." Riker says smirking.

"Shut up Riker." Ross says jokingly.

We sit around the fire. Next to us is Ryland and Savannah, then Riker and Chloe, my mom, Justin, Dallas, Rydel and Ellington are across from us, Mark and Stormie, Adam and Nick, Brandon, and Rocky and Alexa are on the other side of Ross and I.

Rocky nudges me.

"Look at Rydel and Ellington." He says quietly so only Alexa, Ross and I can hear.

I look over the fire at them and they're holding hands.

"Oh my gosh!" I yell, then I quickly cover my mouth with my hands.

Everyone, except Rydel and Ellington look at me confused.

Savannah follows where I'm looking at and she squeals.

"What's going on?" Riker asks us.

"We have to tell them now. We've been caught." Rydel says looking at Ellington.

"Guys, Rydel and I have been together for the last couple weeks." Ellington announces.

"I knew it!" Rocky yells.

"No way!" Ross says excitedly.

"Yes way!" Rydel confirms.

Ross jumps up and runs down the beach.

"Rydellington is real!!" He yells as he's running.

Riker walks over to Ellington and gives him a side hug thing that guys do.

"If you hurt her Ell-" Riker threatens.

"I know Riker, she's got four brothers who'll beat the crap out of me." Ell continues Riker's statement.

Riker laughs.

"Just remember that."

Savannah and I run over to Rydel and hug her.

"We're so happy for you!" We both tell her.

"But why did you have to keep it from us?" I ask pretending to be a little hurt.

"I was planning on telling you guys soon, I just didn't want to rush into telling anyone in case it wasn't going to work." She says.

"But three weeks later, and here we are." Ell continues and kisses her cheek.

"Aww!" Us girls cried.

Stormie and Mark were the only two who weren't phased by this.

"Wait, did you two know?" Ross asks his parents.

"They told us last week. They wanted to surprise you all." Stormie says.

"So this was planned for some announcement!" Riker yells. "I was right!"

"Gosh Riker, calm down a little." I say laughing.

We all sit back down where we were sitting before.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Rocky pull the whole "yawn/stretch" and put his arm around Alexa thing.

I smile.

Everything's starting to fall into place and we're all happy.

Ross gets up to grab his guitar a few minutes later.

"Chelsea, you're phone's ringing." Ross yells over at me.

"It's in the front pocket of my bag." I yell back.

I look at him confused. Anyone who would call me is right here.

"Yeah, hold on a sec." Ross says as he's walking back. "I don't know who it is, but they asked for you." He hands me my phone.

"Well obviously, it's my phone." I joke.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Is this Chelsea Edwards?" The lady on the phone asks me.

"Yes. Who's this?" I ask.

And in those couple seconds, all the happiness from the day goes away.

Tears rush to my eyes and I cover my mouth.

"What's wrong?" Mom asks me.

"Thanks for calling and letting me know." I tell the lady as my voice cracks.

I hang up the phone and process what I was just told as a tear falls down my face.

"It's dad. He got into a really bad car accident and is in the hospital. He's in critical condition and they don't know if he's going to make it." I cry.

Ross pulls me into a hug.

In the short time of two minutes, the whole day went from good to bad.

A/N

Hope you liked!!

I would've updated sooner, but like I said at the end of the last chapter of my 'Life as a Lynch' story, my great grandma passed away this week and I've been busy with that stuff and haven't had time to write.

The next chapter might be a little sad (I honestly don't know how I want it to go, I haven't written it yet.) so just a heads up.

Why is it that every time I start to get bored with writing, I get a bunch of ideas for stories?

I seriously have like 3 stories planned, but I don't know if I want to write them. :/

Thanks for reading!! :)
