Secret Relationships (Sequel to The Real Rydellington) {Discontinued}

Chapter 5: We Really Shouldn't Have Done This

"I can't believe we actually went through with this." Ellington whispers to Rydel as they continue walking through the streets of LA, their hands linked. They were told to go in public and hold hands, and asked to kiss if they were comfortable. After the whole argument they were still having, they both declined, Rydel claiming that it would be too uncomfortable to kiss her best friend. Though, only they knew the real reason.

"I didn't feel like it was the day to get dropped from our label." Rydel growls at Ellington, holding his hand as tightly as possible in attempt to hurt him. She was still really angry; this forced interaction wasn't helping anything.

"Rydel, can we at least talk about what happened?" Ellington says, abruptly stopping and turning towards her.

"We can talk. But that doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you. I was obviously wrong to do it so quickly the first time." Rydel says, sending a menacing glare in his direction. Anger was something he wasn't used to seeing Rydel put off; it was a foreign place. Rydel wasn't one to hold a grudge unless it was necessary. By this, Ellington knew that he had really messed up.

Though he knew it wasn't the time to be thinking this, Ellington couldn't deny it; Rydel was hot when she was angry. Her brown eyes narrowed, her lips in a straight line. Her blonde hair tousled by the wind, her body stiff with rage. Ellington couldn't deny the fact that she was gorgeous in almost any circumstance.

"Quit staring at me." Rydel growls, showing him her middle finger. Rydel was obviously in defensive mode, though Ellington wasn't completely sure why.

"Sorry..." He mumbles in response, looking at his feet with a red tint in his cheeks. He wasn't usually the one blushing, so why was he now? How had Rydel put her guard up so high?

"What did you want to say?" Rydel asks him, pulling him out of the way of people walking by.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for hating you in the first place. I'm sorry for believing Kelly over my best friend. I'm sorry for reading your journal. Basically, I've done a lot wrong, and I'm sorry for all of it." Ellington says quietly, hoping she'll forgive him.

"Ellington, sorry isn't going to cut it. I'm not forgiving you as easily as I did last time. You're going to have to prove yourself."

"Riker, I don't even know what to do anymore. She's never going to forgive me!" Ellington moans out, putting his face into his pillow.

"You have to take Rydel's side into consideration, Ell. I see her point. You broke her trust. In my opinion, she forgave you way too easily the first time. It was six years of hate forgiven in five minutes and one gesture. She was love drunk (Song references from R5TV I'm doing great today)." Riker says, patting Ellington on the back awkwardly. Riker had figured out that Ellington didn't remember what he had told Riker when he was drunk, so Riker was still awkward about it, though Ellington didn't understand why.

"I understand her side of the story, but what did I do wrong? The Kelly thing was in the past. We got past that gradually. But what she's angry at me for right now is so little and stupid." Ellington says, sitting up and looking at Riker.

"Ellington, Rydel isn't usually one to overreact. It's obviously something bad if she's this angry at you. What did you do, anyway?" Riker asks curiously.

"I'm not sure she'd be comfortable with me sharing that information with you." Ellington replies.

"Are you not seeing this? Ellington, if she's not comfortable with it being shared, then guess what? She's probably not overreacting, and you're probably not seeing her point, which is obviously clear. I swear, if you had sëx with my sister..."

"Riker, come on! I didn't do that with your sister, I'm almost positive she's a virgin." Ellington says, covering his face with his hands as he blushes.

"You better hope she is, otherwise you'll never hear the end of it." Riker replies, glaring at nothing.

"You shouldn't be worried, your sister hasn't found anyone yet."

As Rydel listened to the conversation between Riker and Ellington through the wall, she could only think about one thing;

I have found the one, Ellington. It's you. But how am I supposed to trust you when all you do is bring me down?
