Family Before Fame

Chapter 1

Rylee POV

The house was quiet except for the TV on or the cries of Raelynn. Romeo's funeral was two days ago and that was torture. Ross has been distant since then. Reese isn't old enough to understand the whole thing.

"Mommy." Reese sits on my lap.

"Yea buddy." I look at him.

"Why is dada crying?" He looks sad.

"I don't know I will go check. Go play with you're cars or something." I usher him off.

Raelynn is down for a nap thank goodness. I have to go upstairs to find Ross. I look in our bedroom he is not there. I look in the bathroom he isn't there either. I search the whole top floor not finding him.

Where the heck is he? I look in the kitchen, the backyard, and even the living room again, but no Ross to be seen.

The office I haven't checked that yet. I walk in and see Ross sitting by the window holding a stuffed animal. I can hear Ross sniffle and see him wipe away his tears.

"Its all my fault." Ross whispers to himself.

"Ross its not your fault." I speak up.

"Jesus Christ you scared me." Ross jumps.

When he turns around I see his eyes are bloodshot and his cheeks red from crying. I go and sit doen next to him.

"I found this in the box of Romeo's stuff." Ross holds a stuff monkey up.

"I remember when you got that " I look back upon that day.

Flashback

"Rylee look what I got." Ross runs into the house.

"What now?" I roll my eyes. I finish putting the cake in the oven for a family dinner to tonight.

"I got two stuffed animals for the twins. Since there coming in less than two months." Ross pulls out two stuffed animals. One is a blue monkey and the other one is a pink bunny.

"Oh Ross that's amazing." I gush at him.

"I am so excited for the twins." Ross hugs me.

"Me to Ross, me to."

Flashback ends

"Rylee?" Ross snaps his fingers in front of my face.

"Huh, I'm sorry I zoned out." I turn my attention back to him.

"Do you think in the next year or so maybe we can try for a kid again?" Ross sadly asks.

"Of course I wouldn't mind." I lift his chin to look into my eyes.

"I love you and what's done is done we can't change it." I look for an answer in his eyes.

"I know I just wish this whole Sarah thing didn't happen." Ross shrugs.

"I do to." I tell him and lean against his chest.

"I love you more than anything. You know that right." Ross kisses my forehead.

"I love you too." I snuggle closer.

Ross POV

Two days pass since Rylee and I's talk in the office. Raelynn sleeps a lot lately which is good for me and Rylee. We get sleep and so does Reese.

"Dada where mommy?" Reese plays with Raelynn's fingers as she slept in a rocker.

"Work buddy." I tell him.

I watch my kids closely as Reese plays with Raelynn. The phone snaps we out of my staring state.

Ryland's name flashes on the screnn.

"What's up Ry?" I answer.

"Lynn is back by the way. Riker is going to met her." Ryland sounds panicked.

"Where at?" I slip my shoes on and grab my keys.

"This bar downtown." Ryland tells me. "I'm pulling into your drive right now."

"Ok." I hang up the phone.

Ryland comes in the door quickly. I thank him before leaving.

I know which bar Ryland is talking about. That is the most dangerous bar in town. Most murders happen there.

When I pull onto the street the bar is on where tons of cars are parking. The bar is alive with people already partying at two o clock in the afternoon.

I see Riker getting out of his car. He is not dressed like usually. I see Lynn come around the side of the car. Her hair is no longer brown instead it's dark purple. She wears dark eye shadow and black lipstick. This is not the Lynn I remember. She used to hate wearing makeup and disliked the idea of dying hair.

Then I notice something out of the corner of my eye. Lynn is holding a gun to Riker's back. I always knew Riker would get himself in trouble with this.

"Riker!" I yell trying to catch his attention.

He looks at me sadly as if he is being forced.

"Lynn what happened to you?" I look at her.

"I grew up asshole." Lynn points her gun at me. "Take another step and Riker gets it." Lynn looks around at her surroundings.

"Lynn we miss the old you." I plead.

"Well I don't and I'm not going back." Lynn tightens her grip on Riker.

"Lynn please let me go." Riker cries.

"Shut the hell up!" She yells and slaps he with the back of her gun. "I killed you're baby Ross and now I will kill Riker." Lynn threatens.

"How could you have killed my sweet little Romeo?" I shrink to my knees tears falling over.

"Because I work with Sarah and she wants the whole Lynch family to die now." Lynn evily smirks.

"It's all my fault!" I yell to the sky. Tears roll down my cheeks.

"Ross?" I feel shaken.

"Please leave me alone."

"Ross!"

And I fall into darkness.
