Hope you enjoy! Write any ideas in the comments and let me know if you have any tips. Constructive criticism is great!

Baye!

Cc's POV:

I thought I knew just how much Riker liked me, but I guess I was wrong. Deep down, I really liked him too, but I was taken back when he leaned in to kiss me. " Riker, um well, im sorry but I can't do this" I stood up and tried to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist and cornered me. " you deserve so much better than Ross, and I need to show you how much I care about you." he held my hand and tried to kiss me. I knew this was a bad idea so I pushed him away and ran out of his room. I felt tears rolling down my cheek, so I ran down the stairs and ran towards the door. " hey, where are you going?" I knew it was Ross and knew I couldn't let him see me upset because he would ask me what happened. " oh I'm just need to ring my mom" I opened the door and walked off down the street. What just happened? What am I going to do about it? I started crying and sat down on their front lawn.

"are you ok?" a voice said from behind me. I turned around hoping hoping it wouldn't be Ross or Riker. I turned round and saw Rydel sitting down in front of me. " uh I don't know!" I said quietly with yet more tears running down my face. " it's ok, you can talk to me" Rydel said in a comforting voice. " well you see, Riker made a pass at me twice, and now I've upset him because I refused to kiss him because I love Ross" I looked at Rydel who looked half shocked and half annoyed. " wow, now I see your problem." I felt more tears build up in my eyes so I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. Rydel put her arms arround me and pulled me into a hug. " I'm gonna kill Riker and Ross will too!" I looked up at Rydel worriedly. " NO! Ross can't know! Ive already caused enough stress and problems, I don't want to tear your family apart as well!" I looked up to Rydel who said " fine, but you need to tell him eventually" she looked at me with a sad smile. " ok, I will." I said as I got up.

As we got up and walked through the Lynch's front door and into the middle of the living room, Riker walked in. " what do you think you're playing at? She is going out with our brother Riker!" Rydel shouted. Riker stood there with his mouth wide open staring at me. " you told her?" he said to me. I started to feel guilty and felt another tear build up in my eyes. " well yeah, I Wasn't just going to keep it quiet was I?" just then I felt two hands wrap themselves around my waist. " keep what quiet?" as soon as the person spoke, I knew it was Ross. " Oh Um nothing, just that Riker made a move on a girl." Riker stared at me and Ross smiled at all of us and said " nice one bro!" then walked out. At that time, I'm pretty sure we were all thinking ' you wouldn't be saying that if you knew who the girl was' which showed in our faces.

Rydel took me up to her room and Riker followed. It felt like Rydel was a councillor and was talking through the situation. " well, I'm sorry, but Ross is my boyfriend and I can't keep any secrets from him." Riker looked into my eyes with anger. " so you're going to tell him?" I looked at Rydel who gave me a sympathetic smile. " yeah, he needs to know." Riker got up and walked towards me. I felt really scared and intimidated, so I walked backwards to the wall. When my back was to the wall, Riker pulled his hand up to my neck and pushed it against the wall. " NO RIKER!" Rydel screamed trying to pull him back. He also grabbed one of my wrists and squeezed it so tight I think I lost the blood flow. " YOU WILL NOT TELL ROSS!" He screamed in my face. Ross walked into view of the door and ran in. " GET OF HER!" Ross screamed. Just as Riker was aware that Ross was in the room, he tightened his grip on both my neck so I could barely breathe, and my wrist so I could no longer feel it. The room started spinning, and the last thing I saw was Ross hitting Riker in the face. Then it all went black.
