I'm pregnant with my best friend's baby

Chapter 2: Riker founds out

I wake up and get dressed then head downstairs to see everybody besides Rydel sitting at the table eating pancakes. Hmm, that's weird. "Where's Rydel? She's usually the first one up." I say to mom and she shrugs "I haven't checked to see what she's doing. She's probably still sleeping. She stayed up late last night." She says and I head upstairs and knock on her door "Rydel! Time to get up!" I say. No answer. I open her door and see her bed neatly made, her closet empty, and a note laying on her cleared off dresser "What the heck?" I mutter under my breath and walks over and pick up the note. I open it and read it out loud "Dear family, I'm running away so don't try and find me. It's for the best. Trust me. I'll miss you all very dearly but I want you guys to know that I'll always remember you. Riker, Rocky, Ross, Ryland and Ratliff, I want you all to keep doing our R5 shows and touring even though I'm not there. If you don't I kinda would understand but I want you to keep doing it for the fans. Mom and Dad, I want both of you to know that I will be safe. You guys are the best parents a girl could ever want and I'm very grateful for all you've done for me and the boys. Your sister and daughter, Rydel. Hugs and kisses." I read. Rydel is gone. She left us. "Boys! Mom! Dad! Get up here!" I yell as tears come to my eyes. Everybody runs in and looks at me worriedly "What's wrong, Riker?" Mom says am so hand her the letter and she starts reading it out loud again. My baby sister left me. She's all alone out in that big harsh world. Scared and afraid no doubt. I'm such a horrible big brother for not talking to her when I noticed something was wrong a couple days ago. By the time mom gets done reading the letter she's sobbing and dad tries to comfort her while my brothers and Ratliff all look out the window as tears fall down their cheeks. How are we supposed to still play shows without Rydel? It will never be the same. Our family will never be the same without her
