Riker's POV
"Hey Lilly you almost ready?" I said as I knocked on Lilly's bedroom door. We were going on a date for her article.
"Yeah hold on. Let me grab my bag," she said.
Then she stepped out of her room.
"Well you look nice," I said with a smile.
"Thanks so do you," she replied.
"Shall we," I said offering my arm out to her. She grabbed my arm and we went out to the car. We were driving to a restaurant in downtown L.A for dinner.Lilly's POV
After about a 10 minute drive, Riker and I pulled up to this nice restaurant.
"This is beautiful," I said in awe.
"Just wait till you taste the food," he said with a smile.
We were greeted at the door by a waiter and he showed us to our table and took our order.
"I'll have the steak and potato dinner. And for you Lilly?" Riker said.
"I'll have the pasta please," I said.
After the waiter took our order I started asking Riker questions.
"So Riker lets get to work. First question, what is it like being the oldest of the band?" I ask.
"Well it puts me in charge. It also forces me to be semi-responsible," he said with a smirk.
I scribbled notes down and my note pad.
"What's is the most important thing to you?" I ask.
"My family. I would not be out here living my dream if it wasn't for my family. But our fans are a close second," he said.
I asked him a few more questions then our food came."What a dinner," Riker said as he opened the car door for me.
"Yes it was. And thank you," I replied.
"So who's next on your date list," he asked as he started the car.
"I was thinking Rydel and Ellington. I'm gonna take the both out so I can get a point of view on their relationship," I said.
"You've got this all planned out don't you," he said with a smirk.
"Well it's my job," I said chuckling.
We then pulled into the drive way and Riker opened the door for me and walked me to my room.
"I had fun tonight," Riker said smiling.
"Me too," I replied.
"God your beautiful," he said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
I blushed.
"Well I'm going to go change and I think we're gonna watch a movie. Meet us downstairs in 5?" He asked.
I nodded.
God how can someone as sweet as him even exist.I changed out of my dress and put on black basketball shorts and a gray t-shirt that said "NYC" on it. I grabbed my phone and then walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and Ross was sitting at the counter on his phone. I walked up and sat beside him. He looked up from his phone.
"Hey Lilly," he said with a smile.
"Hey Ross. What's up?" I ask.
"Not much. So when do I get the pleasure of taking you beautiful lady out on a date?" He said with a smirk.
I blushed.
"You go after Rydel, Ellington, and rocky," I said.
He frowned.
"Why do I have to go last?" He said whining.
"Cuz your the youngest. Now stop pouting you ass and let's go watch a movie," I said punching him lightly in the arm.
"Damn you're mean....I like that," he said smiling.
He then suddenly threw me over his shoulder and brought me into the living room. He sat me down next to him.
"Guys where are you?" Ross yelled.
I laughed and he put his arm around me.
"Were coming!" Rydel yelled back.
Then Ryland, Rocky, Riker, Rydel and Ellington came down all in there pajamas.
"What movie should we watch," Riker asked as he sat down on the other side of me.
"Grease!" Rydel said with a huge smile on her face.
We all agreed and Rocky put in the movie and we all got comfortable.About half way into the movie Rocky gets up and says, "I'm bored."
"What do you want to do then?" I ask.
"Let's play truth or dare!!!" Rocky screamed.
"Okay whatever," Ellington said.
"I'll go first. Um Lilly, truth or dare?" Rydel asked.
"Um I'll do truth," I replied.
"Who is the hottest out of my brothers?" She said with a smirk.
I am a fan of R5 so obviously I know who. But it switched. Right now I know who it is but I'm not gonna say.
"None of them," I said smiling.
All the guys then looked hurt.
"I mean I would tell you but that's not why I'm here," I said.
"Now Rocky, truth or dare," I asked.
"Dare," he said.
"I dare you to jump off the roof into the pool," I said.
"Okayyyy!" He said the running upstairs.
We all the went outside by the pool.
"I'm gonna jump!" He yelled.
Then he jumped and created a huge splash.
"Nice," I said laughing to Rydel.
All of a sudden I felt two strong, wet arms pick me up.
"You wouldn't," I said.
"Oh I would," Rocky said then jumping into the pool.
"Rocky I can't swim," I said grabbing onto his arms.
"Oh my god. Lilly I didn't- wait why are you laughing?" He said.
"Rocky I can swim fine. I just wanted to scare you," I said laughing.
"You little bitch," he said splashing me.
We both got out of the pool and we all gave up on truth or dare.
"I think I'm gonna go upstairs into my room," Riker said.
We all agreed that we should go into our rooms.
I showered and changed into different pajamas and then went to bed.I woke up to my phone buzzing. 2:45 am? Really? I looked and it was Jake face timing me. I answered.
"Hey Jake," I said tiredly.
"Hey Lil how's Cali?" He asked.
"Good. The bands great. But why are you calling? It's almost 3 am here," I said.
"Oh sorry. I just wanted to talk to my best friend. I miss you so much already," he said.
"Awe I miss you too," I said.
"Well get some sleep and text me when you wake up," he said.
"Okay night Jake," I said.
"Night Lil. I LALA LOVEEE YA!" He sang into the phone.
"I LALA LOVEEE YA too! Night," I said ending the call.
All of a sudden there was a knock at my door. I got up to open it.
"Oh hey Ross. What are you doing up?" I asked.
"I couldn't sleep," he said sniffing.
"Wait we're you crying? What's going on?" I asked.
Then he broke down crying into my arms. I walked him over to my bed and sat down. Laying his head on my chest.
"It's Courtney," he said quietly.
"Your girlfriend?" I said.
"Well, ex-girlfriend now. I found out she was cheating on me," he said sobbing onto my chest, soaking my shirt with tears.
"I'm so sorry Ross," I said patting his back.
"I just don't get it. Was I not good enough?" He asks.
"Ross I'm sure you did everything you could. Some girls just make stupid decisions," I said.
"Guys too," he mumbled.
"What to you mean?" I said.
"Well I was going to cut myself," he said quietly.
I sat him up to look him in the eyes.
"You are not going to cut over a god damn girl okay? I've lost a friend to suicide and it ain't pretty. Don't leave your family, your fans. You mean something to them," I said.
"Do I mean something to you?" He asked.
"You have no idea. You probably haven't noticed but I am a fan of you guys. You guys mean a lot to me," I said.
"I like you so I won't cut myself," he said smiling slightly.
I hugged him back to my chest and laid down.
"Thank you," I said.
Then I dosed off.Ross's POV
She just held me.
No one has ever just held me and let me cry. How can someone be so caring, so loving?
I looked at her face and she was sleeping.
She's so beautiful.
I shifted so she was laying on my chest.
God I might be falling in love.
