What do I have to do? (A Riker Lynch/ R5 love story)

Christmas is coming (part one)

Riker's POV:

"Rydel! Could you come here for a sec?" I ask from the living room door. She gets up and joins me and I take her to my room. Lucy had gone out with Darcy and Maria so I knew she wouldn't walk in on us. "What is it?" She asks as she sits on my bed. "Oh you may not want to sit there" I joke wiggling my eyebrows. "Riker that is disgusting!" she squeals. "Oh I'm just messing with you Delly" I answer as I pull a box out of my draw. "I need your opinion on this" I explain moving to her and handing the box to her. She opens it and gasps. "Oh..My...God... Riker! Is this for...?" "Yeah. Do you think she'll like it?" I ask. It was a locket in the shape of a heart which I had had the words 'love is patient, love is kind, love is you' inscribed onto it. If you couldn't guess it was for Lucy. I wanted it to be special. "Well... I am convinced that she will like it. And if she doesn't I'll take it" She says. I smile and shake my head slightly. She hands the box back to me and I put it back in its original place. "So how are you and Ell?" I ask as I sit next to her. She smiles and then begins gushing about him. I hold up my hand "Okay, okay. Just as long as he is treating you right. Cause if he's not then Rocky, Ross and myself will make him regret it" I say. "What do you mean by that? You don't think that he is the one for me?"She asks. Shoot. "No... Ry what I meant was..." "No. I know exactly what you meant. You dislike seeing us together!" she exclaims. "No... You're my younger sister. I get protective of you" I retort. "Well, newsflash Riker. I'm eighteen same age as you! I can do what I want with who I want and if you don't like my choice of guys then you can just fuck off!" she explodes before running out of my room and slamming my door. I punch my wall before flopping head first onto my bed and sobbing into my pillow.

Lucy's POV

"Alright girls. I'll see you soon. Thanks for helping me with Rike's present!" I say as I open the door and enter the house. "See you soon Luce" the chorus back. I shut the door and make my way upstairs. When I get upstairs I quickly see Stormie. "Where is everyone?" I ask "they're in the basement Lucy" she answers. I smile before heading back downstairs... Right into the middle of a heated argument between Rydel and... Riker? "Well if you would stop thinking about your girlfriend so much Riker we might actually be able to put on a half descent show!" She exclaims. I hear Riker scoff. "Really? It's my fault if our shows may not be at the usual standard? Why would you think that?" he asks. I couldn't believe this... These two NEVER fight. What the heck did I miss? "You are the oldest, the one who we wanted to be our leader." She answers bluntly. "What the heck did I miss?" I ask before anything gets worse. "Lucy, thank God you're here. These two have been at each other's throats all practice" Ross says as he comes over to be and burying his face in my shirt. Ross is still the youngest band member but he is the lead vocalist so he has difficulties dealing with stress or people fighting. He always comes to me for help. I hug him gently. "Here's an idea... Why don't you postpone the practice till people have had a chance to calm down?" I say a warm almost motherly tone in my voice. "Calm down!? Oh that's rich coming from a girl who doesn't have to deal with any members of her unsupportive family!" Rydel says. I raise my eyebrows. "Ry, I don't know what has happened but I think that you and Riker should take some time away from each other. Sshh, don't worry Ross, you head upstairs I'll come up in a while" Ross nods and leaves. Riker looks at me and follows Ross out. Rocky and Ellington quickly follows suit. When I know that they have gone I look Rydel straight in the eye. "What happened?" I ask. "Riker and I had a fall out" "About?" "Ellington" my eyes widen. "Really?" "Yeah. I don't think Riker likes us dating" "What? Rydel, you can't be serious. Riker is just protective so he was probably checking up on your relationship" I reason. I turn and leave her to think about everything so I headed up to Ross's room.

Ross's POV

Even when I left the basement I could still hear the yelling between everyone. I made my wa quickly upstairs and buried myself in my bed and waited for Lucy to come up. She is basically a second sister to me and she is always there for me and looks out for me. I hear the door open and poke my head up far enough to see that it was Lucy at my door. She smiled at me before coming in and wrapping her arms around me and gently stroking my hair. I turn and hide my face in her shirt and tears start to fall. "Ssshhh... Don't worry Ross. I'm here. I got you." She whispers into my hair. She starts to gently sing 'Don't You Worry Child'. I let my eyes flicker shut and I just listen to her voice.

Don't you worry

Don't you worry child

See heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry

Don't you worry now

Yeah

She stops and I open my eyes. "You sing really well Luce" I comment. She smiles slightly "Thanks. So do you" she replies. I could have sworn that my face became slightly warmer. What? Ross Shor Lynch NEVER blushes... I think as she pulls me closer to her body and we lie back on the bed. "What do you want to do?" She asks as I think a I decide to tell her something. "Luce?" "Yeah?" "I need to tell you something" "sure, go a head" "basically I have an audition for a film" "ROSS! OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING!" She exclaims. I laugh slightly. "You took it even better than I did" I comment. "I was wondering if you would help me practice and then come with me on the day?" I ask. I want her to be there. "R-really? Ross, of course I will" she stammers slightly but regains composure. Smile at her and she smiles back. Riker is lucky to have her... "When are you telling the family?" she asks, bringing me back down to Earth. "I don't really know... Tonight... I guess..." I reply uncertainly. I then settle back into her arms and we spend the rest of the afternoon talking.

Two weeks later...

Ross's POV

I'm so nervous about today... what if it all goes wrong? But what if it all goes right? I sit and rub my hands together while Lucy places her arm around my shoulders and squeezes it in a way of reassurance. "You're going to nail it Ross" she says kindly. I look at her and our eyes meet. Huh... I never realised how pretty they were. Riker sure is lucky... I thought as I started to lean in closer to her. Then I jump as the words "Ross Lynch?"  Come through the door. I stand and so does she. "Break a leg" she says as she gives me one last hug before I leave.

The room was fairly well lit and I could easily see the director and the producer of the film. "Hello my name is Ross Lynch and I am auditioning for the part of Brady" I say as confidently as I could even though I was pissing myself on the inside. A girl walks onto the stage and is introduced as the girl who has auditioned for the role of Mack. As we start to run the scene, disaster happens. Nothing that I had rehearsed was working for me. "I'm sorry" I say to the two men analysing me. Then a thought hits me. Lucy. "Listen, there is a girl who I have been rehearsing with and I feel more comfortable with her so could I do the scene and the song again with her?" I ask. They nod curtly and I make my way to the door. "Luce?" I ask as I poke my head out. She comes over "yeah?" "I need you to audition with me. I have tried with some girl and it didn't work" she looks at me in shock. "Please?" I ask she nods and enters behind me. The scene went so well and so did the song. I left feeling confident about my own ability.

Lucy's POV

"Okay Riker here is my present to you" I say as I pull out a huge box fro under the tree. I see his eyes widen. "What the...?" he asks as he unwraps it to reveal a brand new bass guitar with the initials RL+LT inside the R5 symbol. "Oh wow Luce this is incredible. Thank you" he says before quickly kissing me I smile at him. "Let's see how it sounds then" Ross says. Riker places the strap around his shoulders and starts playing. Everyone takes an intake of breath over how damn good it sounded and how well he played it. "So we all know that this baby is going to rock it on stage" Rocky says. Riker then garbs a long and thin box "This is for you Lucy" he says as he passes it to me. I open it and open the velvet box under the paper and gasp. For there in the box was a necklace with a heart locket which said 'love is patient, love is kind, love is you'  I look at him and pull him in for a passionate kiss to say thank you because the gift had rendered me speechless. We continue giving and receiving presents until the phone rings. Stormie gets it. "Yes... Oh... Oh my... Hold on I'll pass you on" she hands the phone to Ross. I see him move into the kitchen and follow him. I watch his face very carefully. "Really? Of course. Thank you for your time. Yeah... She's here, I'll pass you on" he gestures to me to take the phone. "Hello? Yes this is her. How can I help you?"
