Rydel's POV

I wrap my arms around Ell, hoping this moment will never end.   I hold him close to me as our lips begin to move in sync.  The longer the kiss goes on, the more I fall in love with him.  I now know where I am truly meant to be.  In Ell's arms for eternity.  

"Um, I think the dare was kiss, not make out," Rocky giggles awkwardly.  I feel Ell scoot away from me as I slowly open my eyes and stare at him.  His hair looks so smooth and soft, falling just the right way.  He turns towards me and his puppy dog brown eyes stare into my soul as he leans forward again.  Right as our lips are about to touch once more, he pulls back.  

"I'm sorry," he blushes.  "For a moment, I thought you were Kelly so I kinda got carried away."  

"It's fine," I sigh, trying to hide how badly that hurt.  "I guess that's what friends are for."  We sit in awkward silence for a few minutes, and the pain in my heart gets stronger every time I glance over at Ellington.  I try to look down, but I can't help but steal another look at Ell.  I quickly turn my head, and for a split second, his eyes meet mine before I look back at the floor.   Tears fill my eyes as my heart bleeds from all the pain it has been through in the last ten minutes.  I fell in love, and then I got my heart broken.  

"Delly, what's wrong?" Riker asks with concern.  

"My ankle hurts," I lie as my tears spill over.  I fall into Riker's arms as he strokes my back.  

"Do you want me to get you some medicine?" he asks.  

"No," I sob.  "Can you take me to my room?" 

"Sure," he soothes.  He picks me up and carries me up the stairs, to my room as I bawl in his arms.  

"Rydel, I'm getting you some medicine," Riker insists.  

"No, I'll be fine," I whimper.  

"Delly, you're sobbing, you need medicine," Riker urges.  

"No I don't!  Now go away and let me sleep!" I cry.  

"Ok," he sighs, leaving the room, only to come back with my medicine a minute later.  

"Come on, Del, you have to take it anyways. Stop being so stubborn," he whines.  

"Fine," I give in, gulping down the medicine with a drink of water.  

"Sorry I have to be so pushy, but I want to look out for my baby sister," Riker apologizes.  

"It's ok," I whisper, softly crying.  

"Goodnight Delly," he coos, giving me a hug and leaving the room.  I shut off the light and cry myself to sleep, thinking of the guy who was my brother this morning, but is now the one breaking my heart.  

Ellington's POV

I stare at the weeping Rydel as Riker carries her out of my vision.  I hurt her, and it was the last thing I meant to do.  I've loved her since day one.  I finally got a chance with her and I blew it all because of damn Kelly.  I never loved her.  I just dated her to throw the Lynches off my track and I just had to bring her up, didn't I?  Gosh I hate myself.  

"Well, she's in a little pain, but she's ok," Riker sighs, coming down the stairs.  

"Ok, well I want to check on her," I announce, getting up off the floor.  

"I don't think she's in the mood right now, Ell," Riker panics, trying to stop me.  I can't fight him, then they'll know something is up.  If Rydel and I end up together, no one can know.  

"Ok, I'll try again tomorrow," I sigh.  We play some video games, and I suck at them because all I can do is think about Rydel.  All of the pictures of her around the room don't really help.  

"Are you ok?" Ross asks.

"No.  I am not ok," I groan.  

"Dude, I think it's time for you to try to get Kelly back," Ross states.

"She wouldn't take me back, even if I wanted her to," I sigh.  

"What? Why not?" Rocky asks.  Oh, maybe because she found out I'm madly in love with your sister. That could be it.  I've heard girls don't like it when you're in love with someone else while you're dating them.  

"Because, we mutually agreed to break up.  I don't want her back, I just want some time," I groan.  

"Dude, you've been upset about this all night, I think you need her," Riker urges.  

"Get off my case!" I snap.  And with that, everyone heads to bed.  I set up the couch and I lay on top of the blankets, because after what I did to Rydel, I won't be sleeping tonight.  I wish I could go back to a couple hours ago, when Rydel and I were kissing like it was nobody' business.  Her lips were so much softer and sweeter than I have ever imagined.  The feeling of her hand on my cheek made electricity run throughout my entire body.  

I get off of the couch and I absentmindedly walk up to Rydel's room.  I slowly peek through the door to find a snoring Rydel, sleeping like a baby.  I tip toe closer to her and I slowly sit down on the bed beside her.  She sleeps so peacefully, but her cheeks are still stained with tears.  I brush her beautiful blonde hair out of her face before leaning down and giving her a light kiss on the cheek.  Rydel's lips curve into a smile in her sleep, and I know I've only begun to fix my mistake.  Tomorrow is going to be a big day for us.  We've got a lot to talk about.  I can't help but lightly brush her lips, before scurrying out of the room, hoping that didn't wake her up.  I jump onto the couch and bury myself under the blankets, hoping tomorrow will be a good day for Rydellington.
