The Lights (A Rocky Lynch Story)

Chapter 16

Rayne's POV

My breath hitched in my throat and my heart felt like it was going to explode. He just said that he loved me, Rocky just said that he loved me. I couldn't believe it, it was like a dream.

"I-I" I tried to speak but I couldn't find words.

"I'm- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything, I was stupid. Ross convinced me too and now-" I cut off his rambling but kissing him, on the lips. My hands found their way to his cheeks, he seemed surprised by my actions because he didn't move. I was about to pull away when his hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me to him. We pulled away, and I swear I was smiling like an idiot.

"I love you too." I said quietly, he pulled me into a tight hug and I buried my face in his chest. We pulled away and I couldn't stop smiling.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

"I thought you'd never ask." I kissed him again, and I have to say he is a great kisser.

"We should probably go back in before the others get suspicious." he said. Reluctantly, I pulled away from him and he took my hand. Our hands fit perfectly together, no matter how cliché that sounds it's true.

"Aren't they always?" I asked sarcastically.

He chuckled, his smile was so perfect. It was like I was seeing him in a different light now, all those years I yearned for the feel of his hand in mine, his arms wrapped around me, the feel of his lips on mine and now that it's happened it feels like a dream. A dream I never want to wake up from.

We got inside still hand in hand, Ross saw us first he looked at us, then at our intertwined hands, then back up in disbelief. I couldn't help but smirk, I guess he didn't think his brother would do it. Rydel saw next, she got over the shock quicker than Ross and started jumping up and down with Lexi who looked like she was going to faint.

I lead Rocky over to them, I still had to go on stage and now I was thinking it was a bad idea. What if I embarrassed myself? What if Rocky thinks I'm a horrid singer? Rydel, Lexi and Kelly didn't tell anybody since they wanted it to be a surprise.

"Ready?" Rydel asks me still eyeing Rocky and I's hands.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I sighed, I let go of Rocky's hand. He had a confused look on his face but didn't say anything. After a while you just get use to Rydel doing crazy things.

Rydel and Lexi led me backstage and Rocky tried to follow.

"No, Rocky you cant' go. This is a girl thing." Rydel said sternly. Rocky went to protest but she put a finger to his lips silencing him. The girls pulled me backstage and into a small dressing room were Kelly was. I got dressed in to the outfit Rydel and I bought a few days ago the only difference was that there was a white vest to it now. The twin to Rocky's black one.

"We stole it from Rocky's closet but he doesn't wear it so I don't think he'll miss it much." Rydel said helping me to get it on. My already curled hair was pulled into a ponytail and the white vest completed the look. Now to survive the night.

Rydel handed me a mic and the music to Ed Sheeran's Lego House started. Rydel wanted to start me out soft before we got to the heavier music. I was still behind the curtain, I took a deep breathe. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my hands were sweaty. I stepped out from behind the curtain and started to sing:

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,

And build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down
