Playlists {A Rydellington Story}

・Chapter 9・

・Ell・

I open the front door to yelling and crying. Does this mean what I think it means? Probably. I stay quiet as I try to surpass without getting attention from my mom and step dad. That would be a disaster in action. I get to my room and quickly swing the door shut accidentally making it entirely noticeable that I got home.

Way to go Ellington.

I look around to find my vinyls and grin. Rydel's perfume scent is on my record player. It smells like cotton candy. I put on my Stevie Wonder vinyl I got the day I met her.

I messed up everything with her though. We kissed. It was a great kiss. By great, I mean great. It can't happen again though. If we become more than friends, it'll ruin our friendship. I like our friendship.

"Ellington turn that shit off!" I hear my step dad, Trent yell. It made me just want to turn it up more than he's said something. I don't change the volume. He can deal with it.

I guess I should go into my background.

A couple years ago, my dad died. It hurt my mom's happiness pretty bad. I mostly moped around every day at that time.

Until one strange day, I heard it.

My mom's laugh. I haven't heard her laugh in forever which made me happy knowing she just laughed. I didn't know who was here at the time so I come into the living room to see him.

Trent.

When my eyes landed on him, I just had a bad gut feeling about him. He was tall and tan. Had a smirk on his face as he knew my mom would like him. It took her three months to recover from my dad's sudden death. Three.

Meanwhile me on the other hand, I'll never be over it.

Trent abuses my mom. I can't help her though. When I ask her where she got bruises, she claims they were from falling. I let her lie.

I hear walking in the hall, probably to my door. I lay back onto the bed before my mom walks in. "Any supper?" She was wondering what I want. I don't want anything so I stay silent. My mom bites her lip then shuts the door behind her. "Move over."

I scoot over for her to lay beside me on my bed. We both watch the ceiling silent. "Have you talked to Rydel lately?" She whispers. I shake my head.

I haven't seen her since we kissed.

"Are you okay?" I ask quietly making her look at me. Her fingers play with my hair slightly as she's in a deep thought. I already know what she's going to say.

She's fine.

I let her lie.

  I woke up in the middle of the night to banging on my window. What the hell? It's two in the morning. I sit up and slowly walk over and look out to see a blonde looking straight back at me. I lift up my window to let a unicorn-wearing-pajamas Rydel. "It's two in the morning." I whine and get back in my bed.

"I can't sleep." She explains sitting on my bed looking at me. I shrug and turn over. I don't feel like talking at two in the freaking morning. Rydel grabs a pillow and hits me with it making me sit up.

"What's wrong with you?" I say a little louder than I meant to be. Rydel gets tears in her eyes. Oh my god, this is serious. I pull her into a hug and let her stay in my arms.

"I'm having suicidal thoughts." Rydel admits making me look at her. She avoids my eye contact. "Rocky wishes it was me who died instead of Maegan. I know he's right." She starts crying and I wipe her tears from her cheeks.

"Rydel, there is a reason why you're alive, you know that?" I start trying to comfort her. She looks at me finally. "There's no one else like you in this world. You're a good person. There needs to be good people like you in this world. There's only one Rydel Mary Lynch." She stares at me for a long time before responding.

"You mean that?"

"Every word." I smile and she hugs me tighter. I lean back onto my bed accidentally pulling her on top of me. Our eyes met and I could feel the heat rise to my face. She's blushing as well. "Um.." I start saying and she moves away.

"I'm sorry I came, I just didn't feel like sleeping in my own house. I'm also worried about my brother Riker." She apologizes and I nod. Rydel starts getting up and I grab her hand making her look at me.

"Stay with me."
