The Lights (A Rocky Lynch Story)

Chapter 14

Rayne's POV

It was Friday, we had today off from school since everybody was helping set up the city hall for the dance. R5 had gone to do a sound check so I had the house to my self, right now I was down in the basement practicing the three songs Rydel said I should sing. We had the music on a CD so it's like karaoke. I was practicing my second song as I danced to it, I was comfortable sing in front of Kelly and Rydel now and they were going to be my back up singers tonight. We even had dance routines to the last two, the first one was a slow song.

I finished and went up to the kitchen, it was 6. The dance started at 8 and the Lynches should be getting home soon, Kelly was suppose to be hear around 6:30. I heard knocking at the door, I went to answer it. I opened the door expecting to see Kelly, she liked to be early. But no, it was Sam.

"Hey babe, are you going to the dance tonight?" he said in a smug tone.

"Why are you here? And don't call me babe, I'm not your girlfriend." I spat at him

"Oh, don't worry. I'm not here to annoy you. I have a message, from your dad."

My heart stopped, "What message." I tried to keep my voice steady.

"Next Saturday, meet him at the park. Come alone, he wants you go away with him. If you don't he'll kill all your friends. Starting with pretty boy and the girl. Oh, yeah and don't tell anyone, or they die anyway." he turned around to leave.

"What time Sunday." I said, my voice cracked. Sam didn't turn around. "Noon." was all he said. I shut the door and put my back on it and slid down. I had no choice, I had to go. I couldn't let him kill Rocky, or any of them. I started to cry, and I never cried. After a few moments, I got up and went to get a shower. I got in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My long crazy curly hair was as brown as ever, my green/blue eyes were red and puffy. On my cheek was a small white line from the stiches that I had gotten out this morning. I got in the shower and washed my body, thinking about what Sam had said. Why would my father want me now? Where was my mother? What about Rocky? I couldn't just leave him, but then again I couldn't tell him.

I got out of the shower and wrapped my towel around myself. I heard the door shut downstairs and knew that everybody was home. I went into Rydel's room and she and Kelly were siting on her bed. I pushed all the thoughts of Sam and what he said out of my head, I was going to have a good time tonight. Rydel went to get a shower Kelly already got one.

"So, where's your dress Kel?" I asked she hasn't let us see hers yet, so Rydel and I haven't shown anybody either.

"You'll see it tonight." she said.

"Okay." I said, I got dressed in sweats for now. I would change into my dress later. I went downstairs and saw Ryland trying to tie a bow tie. I went over and helped him, "There." I said when I finished.

"Thanks."

"When's Lexi getting here?" I asked.

"She should be here soon, is Kelly and Rydel upstairs?"

"Yep, they're getting ready."

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?"

"It doesn't take me long to get ready, plus knowing me. I'd probably ruin the dress before the dance."

"That's true, you always hated dressing up."

The door bell rang, and I went to answer it.

"Hey Lexi." I said and hugged her, she was already dressed in a beautiful soft red dress that went to the floor.

"Hey, where are the others?"

"Upstairs. C'mon." I took her hand and took her upstairs to Rydel's room. It was now 7, I walked in and Rydel and Kelly were already dressed. Kelly had a dark green dress on that was similar to mine.

"Wow, I love your dress Kelly." I said.

"Thanks, where's yours?"

"I'm going to change now." I grabbed my dress and went to change.

I went back into the room after I was done and Lexi ran over and hugged me.

"You look beautiful, purple really is your color."

"Thanks."

"Now, let's do hair." Rydel said. Lexi did Kelly's hair in a curly ponytail and I did Rydel's in a bun with her bangs clipped up. Kelly did Lexi's hair in a side ponytail and Rydel straighten mine then fine curled it so it wasn't crazy any more.

By the time we were done with hair it was time to leave. I grabbed my shoes and went downstairs, I peeked into the living room.

The boys were siting on the couches. They all wore a white short sleeved button up dress shirt with blue jeans. They only differences were that Riker had his black tie on, Rocky had his black vest, Ross just wore the shirt plain with his necklaces, Ryland had on the bow tie, and Ell had a dark green bow tie.

I turned around and saw Rydel coming down the stairs, she had put on a black sash around her waist that tie in the back in a bow.

Its amazing how they dress so similar but have their own unique things.

Kelly came down after her then Lexi, we walked into the living room and the guys turned their attention to us. I tried not to smirk at Ell's face when he saw Kelly, or Ryland's when he saw Lexi.

I looked over to Rocky, he had a smile on his face and there was something different in his eyes.

"Ell, Ry shut your mouths before you catch flies." Riker said. We all laughed and Rocky walked over to me, took my hand and pulled me outside.

"You look beautiful." He said once we stopped walking.

"You look great yourself." I said.

"Rayne, I have to tell you something." He put his hands in his pockets nervously.

"You can tell me anything." I said, we sat down on the steps.

"I-" he was cut off by the door opening, we stood up quickly as the others came out of the house. Riker and Rydel the brother/sister duo, Ryland and Lexi the new couple, Ell and Kellt the cutest couple ever, Rocky and I going as friends. Then there's Ross who's date cancelled to go with some jock. He look sad and I felt bad for him.

I heard Rocky huff behind me, every time he wants to tell me something we get interrupted. I took his hand, "You can tell me at the dance." I leaned up and kissed his cheek. He blushed and smiled, we got into Riker's car. Riker was in the drivers seat, Rydel in the passenger seat, Rocky, Ross, and I were in the back seat. Ell, Kelly, Ryland, and Lexi took Kelly's car.

We pulled out of the drive way and left.
