My new family

Chapter 8

I woke up to to everyone laughing really hard around Riker and Rydel. Guess what they were doing! They were doing the Everybody Talks dance! I of course joined in with them and everyone laughed even harder. The song wasn't even playing they were just singing it! So I decided to sing too. When we were done Riker gestured for me to keep singing something. I nodded.
"Your eyes
Crashin' into my eyes
Was I accidentally falling in love?
Your words
Didn't mean to heal the hurt
Were coincidentally more than enough

All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you

You're scared, I'm nervous
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it
Cause I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose

My dreams running into your dreams
It's as if we wished on the same star
And my time changing all of your time
It's a butterfly effect on my heart

All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you
Oh woah

Your eyes
Crashin' into my eyes
Was I accidentally falling in love?
Your words
Didn't mean to heal the hurt
Were coincidentally more than enough

All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you

You're scared, I'm nervous
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it
Cause I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose

My dreams running into your dreams
It's as if we wished on the same star
And my time changing all of your time
It's a butterfly effect on my heart

All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you
Oh, woah

You're scared, I'm nervous
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose." I faded off in the middle of the song. I didn't feel like singing anymore. Something was distracting me. More like someone. Not understanding what I was doing I ran to the couch area in the back of the bus. I plopped down on it and buried my head in a random pillow sitting there.
Why. Why. What's happening? Do I have feelings for him? No, no. I can't he's like twice my age. It's impossible. He is the oldest. Not to mention my brother- my thoughts were cut off by someone walking in. But I still kept my face hidden in the pillow. I knew who it was. The only person I know to be able to comfort me to the point where I forget everything and all my thoughts disappear at night and I can finally fall asleep.
"Aubs?" He asked stroking my hair gently. Soothingly.
"Yes?" I mumbled into the pillow.
"Can I see your face?" He asked.
"Look, Rike. I don't want to talk. Okay?"
"Aubrey, I need to know what's up you have never acted like this in the time you have been with us. I need my littlest sister." Aww. Riker is so sweet. I think I do have feelings for him. I need to discuss it with him. I trust him. Should I? I should because lying hurts.
"Look, Rike, there is something I need to discuss. Okay? Please don't judge. It's really confusing and scary enough and-" he interrupted me.
"Aubrey, you can talk to me about anything. I will never judge you."
"Okay, well, here it goes. Riker, I think I may have some feelings for you. I honestly don't know why. At first you were my brother, then brother and friend, now this and I don't know....I just....it just...happened. I'm sorry if this is kind of weird and awkward I just figured it out today and I guess it started last night. I'm sorry it's such an awkward thing. I'm such an awkward thing."
"No, Aubrey. You aren't an awkward thing. This happens. I mean you can't control it. I'm not saying this in a egotistical way. You are an amazing, beautiful, sweet, kind girl inside and out. I love you but, not in that way. You will forever be my friend and no matter what, my sister."
"I know, Riker. Yes, there is an age difference. Yes, you are my brother, not by blood but still. I love you I just don't know how, and these feelings should die off soon. I hope." I was kind of crying a little so Riker, being the sweet guy he is, pulled me into a long hug and also carried me to my bunk and, I once again, fell asleep. I swear every time I'm with him to calm me down I fall asleep. But, I need it. I'm glad I ended up here but why did my family give me up? Why am I not dead if I had a funeral? These thoughts ran through my head as I fell into an even deeper sleep but not before I felt Riker kiss my forehead and whisper
"Good night, baby Lynch."after he said that a smile was plastered on my face even though most of my thoughts were about sad-ish things. I think I like him better as my brother than anything more. I couldn't ask for anything better right now.
