C Minor // R5

Epilogue

I recommend listening to Smile  throughout this, but it's not as crucial as listening to One Last Dance Last chapter.

Enjoy ~E<3

**********************************************************************************

So, you're probably wondering

What happened to Rina?

Ross sang me that song and we waited. That's it.

It's two years later now, and I'm 17. And Ross? Well I don't really know what's going on with him. Or any of R5, that is.

It's not that I don't support them, I do. I voted for Riker on DWTS, but I never watched the dances. I bought Sometime Last Night, But I haven't opened it. The only song I've heard is Smile because it's popular. I just don't have the heart.

And yeah, I think of Ross everyday, but that's okay. They're all happy thoughts of what we did. Not what we couldn't do. It's one of those things were you have to be happy it happened, not cry cause it's over.

I'm sure that I'll never see or hear from any of R5 again, but that's okay, because I think of them everyday, and I think that they think of me too.

The crazy thing is, I still have their numbers, so I totally could text or call any of them, but I'm not gonna. It kinda feels like the forbidden fruit, or whatever.

Today I am walking with Poppy, my one friend I have Who used to attend Joffrey with me, before I quit. Anyways, we're walking in the park.

One thing I love about Poppy s that she loves my stories about me and Ross. Most people don't believe I even know him, since he's pretty famous, but Poppy believes me.

"That's so sweet!" Poppy says, after I finish telling her about Ross and my "not date" that we had two years ago. I smile.

"Yeah. It was. It was...magical." I say. Suddenly, Poppy and I come upon a big crowd that we can't see over.

"Wanna go check that out?" Poppy asks. I shrug and we begain to walk over but the music starts blaring.

The song is bubbly, with symbols and a keyboard. It sounds really familar, but when the guitar starts, I know what's going on.

This is SMILE.

I hear Riker begin to sing and my jaw drops open. This is actually R5! I look at Poppy, and she is looking at me with the same face.

"Poppy! That's Riker!" I say.

"yuh hu!" Poppy says.

"What do I do?" I ask her. I don't know if I'll ruin the surprise or if this is a good I dea, but I have no time to think before Poppy pushes me.

"Go!" She yells, pushing my closer to the stage.  I stand there for a second, my life with Ross flashing before me. The love of my life, in front of my eyes again.

This is it.

I try and wedge myself in between people and around, but it's hard to get around the huge crowd. I'm pushing people, and they're getting mad.

I've grown, but I'm still very small, making it even harder to get through.

Ross has come for me. He has come to New York so we can be together. So we aren't star crossed. Ross has come, and all of our dreams together will come true.

When I fainally get to the front of the stage, I expect Ross to be happy to see me.

But that's not exactly whats going on.

Ross is singing to a girl who is staring at him and crying with joy. But when I get to the front, Ross looks at me and freezes.

The smile fades off his face, and so does mine, but he keeps singing, with a blank face looking at me. And then I get it.

The girl is crying tears of joy, there is a banner in the back that reads something that hurts me everywhere.

I LOVE YOU COURTNEY

But I think the part that hurts the most is that the girl is Courtney.

I know that I have to get Ross to keep going, so when Ratliff counts to three I flash my happiest grin at Ross. His smile comes back and he proceeds with Courtney. But My smile hurts.

Once he's done noticing me,I just walk away and sit in the grass praying for the end of this stupid song.

The End

For now...
