Riker's POV

We Were In the Car And Pulled Up To The Hotel Where We Were Staying . "Why Would You say That?" Ross Asked Me Referring To What I Said To Vanessa . "Because It's True." I Lied .

"Riker I Know You, It's Not True." He Argued . My Siblings See Right Through Me , I Love V- Talia! I Do love Her .. After Vanessa Left Talia Showed Up . She Said What she Did Was An act Of Jealousy And She Still loved Me . She Even said If She Had The Chance She'd Apologize To Vanessa . It Was Really Genuine No Matter What My Siblings Tried To say.

"Give Me One Good Reason why I Should Care About Vanessa?" I asked As We Got Out The Car . "Because She Loves you ." Rydel stated . "Why Are You On her Side? You Saw The Way She Acted Towards You , The Way they both Did." I Pointed Out. "They feel Forgotten!" Ross Jumped In .

"No They're Stubborn ." I Corrected . "Okay Tell Me , If Vanessa Started Dating That Joshua Guy And Never Texted You Back or Made an attempt To contact You .. You'd Be All Happy To See Her?" Rydel Asked Staring Me Down .

"If I Really Loved Her Then yes ." I Said. She Rolled Her Eyes At Me. "I Dont Know About You Riker, But I'm Not Gonna sit Here And Leave Without Being On good Terms With Them.'' She Said Annoyed . "Why do you Care So Much about Them? It's Not Like You Were In a Relationship With Them!" I Shouted . She Gasped And Narrowed Her Eyes at Me .

"They were My Bestfriends! The Only Girls I Could relate To! Or Maybe You've Forgotten that too . I Thought You Seeing Vanessa Would Possibly Knock Some Sense Into You But .. Talia's Got Her Hooks In You so deep That there's No Going Back ." She Said Avoiding Eye Contact .

Guilt Fled Over Me . What am I Doing? Why Am I Taking This Out On Rydel? Or Any of My Siblings . I Even Feel Bad For Yelling At Vanessa . Yes She Had Every right To Be Upset With Us But .. I Guess Her Making It Seem as If She Didn't Care For Me At All Anymore Angered Me . Yet I Dont Know Why , I Told Her I Still Loved Talia So Why Do i Care So Much?

"Because You Dont Love Talia ." Rydel whispered . What? Must've Been thinking Out Loud . "Y-Yes I do ." I Stuttered . She Shook her Head . "If You Love Talia So Much , Why'd You End Things With Her In The First Place?" She Asked Leaving Me With something To Think about .

It's A Simple question, I Didn't Love Talia Back then .. Or I Wasn't In love With her But It's Different Now! And My Feelings For Talia .. Are Stronger Than They E-Ever Were W-With V-Vanessa .
