A Year With R5

Falling Out Of Love

Ross's POV

We were heading to an interview and Lucy had to be with us of course. To be honest I wasn't that keen on it but I didn't show it (thanks to A&A). Don't get me wrong I like her a lot as a friend but ever since the fans found out about her and Riker when ever we were interviewed it would mostly focus on the new teen 'it' couple. "Ross, you okay?" I hear Lucy ask from the front seat. "Huh? Yeah I'm fine" I answer. The rest of the journey is spent in a kind of awkward silence.

When we arrive we are taken to make-up but I manage to get hold of Lucy. "Luce?" "Yeah Ross?" "Could I ask you something?" "Ross, can it wait? I need to get to make-up" she says. Then I lose it completely "NO IT CAN'T BECAUSE EVER SINCE YOU SHOWED UP R5 DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BAND BECAUSE IT IS ALL FOCUSED ON YOU AND MY BROTHER!" I shout. She staggers back, eyes wide. "Awww.... Is the little insignificant girl upset because someone doesn't think she is perfect?" As soon as I said it I regretted it cause she turned and sprinted away. She would obviously tell Riker about this. So basically... I am in some deep shit.

Lucy's POV

I left Ross in tears. How could he say that? He is such a hypocrite I mean most interviews do focus on him! Sharing a screen with him is going to be hard... Suddenly I make contact with someone. "Sorry" I mutter. "Luce? What's up?" Asks Ell. I stare up at him and the engulf him in a hug crying into his shirt. He places his arms round me and holds me until I calm down. "So what happened?" I decide to tell him everything that happened with Ross. "Shit" he mummers as we walk to make-up. As I sat in the chair I thought about what Ross had said... He is right though ever since I showed up it has been less about the band and more about me... I'm going to have to do it...

When my make-up is complete I make my way to everyone else and wait to go on. Riker smiles and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. I smile slightly at him as we walk on stage and take our seats. Wait till the end and then do it.

Aww he looks so happy...

I love that smile he looks so perfect...

And you are going to ruin it...

I won't we'll still be friends...

He has given you so much and this is how you repay him...

It's for the good of the band...

"So Riker have you got anything special planned for Valentines day with Lucy?" "Well... Ummm I don't really know yet" Riker admits "That might not be such a bad thing" I say "Why?" "Well I've been thinking lately Riker and... I think we rushed into this way to quickly... So I think that we should spend some time apart" I say sadly I see his eyes glaze over slightly "W-what?" he breaths "I'm sorry Rike but I think we should break up" I say before standing and leaving the set. As I take one last look at them I see Ellington giving Ross a look which says 'this is your fault'. I sigh and make my way outside.

Riker's POV

Did that really just happen? I've lost her... We said that this would never happen... What happened? I think as we drive back home in complete silence. I was silently crying to myself. She means so much to me... I have to win her back. We arrive home and I go up to her room and tentatively knock "C-come in" Lucy says thickly. I open the door and look at her. "Did I do something wrong?" I ask quietly. She looks at me her face tear-stained "no..." "then why did you fall out of love with me?" "Oh... Riker... I never fell out of love with you but it was for the good of the band" she explains "really?" I ask moving closer to her and moving my hand to her cheek. She moves her head out of my reach. I understand what that meant. I slowly leave and go to my room before sliding down the door onto the floor.

Lucy's POV

When Riker left I collapsed onto my bed. How could I let this happen? I think. I still love him... with all my heart... This was a mistake... But he won't want me back now... I have to move on. I sigh as I pull out one of Riker's hoodies from my wardrobe (yes I may or may not have taken it from him) I wrap it round my shoulders and take in the sent of him. This was the worst decision I had made in my lifetime.

A/N Sorry that this is so short but I have had some writter's block about it and this was all I came up with. Please comment and vote
