Rydel's POV:
"Ahh, feels good to be back on stage," I thought to myself. We'd just gotten offstage at Chicago, and let me tell you, best. show. EVER! Every show rocks, of course but tonight was special and I'm not really sure why, to be honest.
The band just finished cleaning up and Ry and Andre loaded the truck with the carry-able instruments and mics. Mom and Dad got into the tour bus but the boys decided they'd play football for a little bit.
"Hey Del, wanna join!?" Rocky asked.
"I guess, let me just change out of my concert stuff!" I shouted back, jogging to the bus.
I changed my concert outfit to a loose white crop top and spandex shorts. I slipped on my low black converse and tied my hair up in a messy, high pony tail. I jogged back out to the boys.
"Okay let's split into teams," Ross commanded.
"I want Rydel on my team!" Ell shouted, pulling my arm and embracing me into a hug from behind. I was mentally squealing.
"Okay pick one more person!" Ross said.
"Uhhh Rocky!" I smiled.
"Okay that leaves Riker, Ryland and I on a team," Ross said, I already knew that he thought his team was gonna win. Ross is very competitive.
We played for 40 minutes and the teams were then tied. Mom only allowed us 10 more minutes then we have to leave so this is our last chance to win.
"Annnnnnnnd... GO!" Ross said chucking the ball through his legs back at Riker. I ran towards Riker in an attempt to get the ball, but instead I ran right into, the one, the only, Ellington Ratliff.
"ouch.." I said rubbing my head, only to realize I was lying on Ellington's chest. My cheeks turned a bright pink and I got up so fast I almost fell. I could hear Ellington chuckling.
"Rydel there was no reason to get up so fast," he whispered in my ear. I felt his hot breath against my neck and the back of my ear. It sent shivers down my spine. He just walked into the bus, turning to wink at me. I finally walked into the bus myself.
I walked into the small bathroom and washed off my hands and and face. The boys did as well, and Ross and Ell wet their hair too. By the time everyone was done it was 10:30. Way too late to be up during a tour, even if it was a small one. I started walking to my bunk.
"Del, ya know we have the day off tomorrow, right?" Ell asked.
I mentally face palmed, "pfft, what, yeah, I totally knew that," I said, trying to play it off cool. He chuckled slightly.
"The boys went to sleep too, so want to come watch a scary movie with me?" he grinned.
"Duh!" I replied, he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. Once we got into the tiny area where there was a tv, he let me down but made sure I sat really close. That's weird.
He hummed as he skimmed through the scary movies on netflix.
"oooh! wanna watch The Bay?" he asked, reading the description of the movie to himself.
"Yeah, sure!" I smiled.
The first half of the movie I was fine with, then the movie started getting more intense.
"AHH!" I screamed, digging my face into Ellington's chest as a zombie popped up. He put his arm around my shoulder and squeezed me in closer; making me feel the warmth of his body.
