Love Me Like That - A Rydellington/R5 Fanfiction [Completed]

4. The diary

Ratliff's POV

I get into the first room I can find and lock the door. I turn around with my back leaning on the door and look around. It's Rydel's room, perfect! I sigh and sit on her bed. I don't know what happened, one minute I was about to kiss Rydel and the next I saw Kelly in front of me. And when Rydel spoke, she sounded like Kelly. I guess I'm not over her yet. I lay down in Rydel's bed and wince when my head hits something hard. I look at the bed and realize there's just the pillow. How can it be so hard? I push the pillow away and find a little book under it. I carefully take it in my hands and look at it. The front has a text written in pink letters. Diary. This was Rydel's diary! I know I shouldn't read it, but I just can't help myself. I open the book on the firdst page. The handwriting is not the perfect and beautiful handwriting I knew as Rydel's. This handwriting is edgy and careless. I notice some nunbers in the corner. 10/8 - 07. It's before they moved to LA. I start reading it.

Dear Diary
I'm officaly a year older, but I don't feel older, if something I feel younger. We're apparently moving to LA. I don't know when, but I don't feel like moving. What's going to happen with me and Thea? Am I ever going to see her again if I move?

I stop there. It feels like I'm reading all her secrets, which I probably am. I know it's terribly wrong of me to read this, but still, I want to. I can't help myself when I flip forward a few pages and end up 2009. I look at the date and it's the day they met me. Oh, I really have  to read this!

Dear Diary
Today we went to a dance studio. We met a guy there, he's my age. His name is Ellington, Ellington Ratliff. He's beautiful, and I think I'm in love! But what can I know? I've only known him for like a day... Yet when we danced together I felt sparks! Isn't that love?

She fell in love with me? I remember that day and that dance! We were dancing couple dances like Waltz. I danced with Rydel and I think I felt them to... I flip a few more pages until I end up at the last thing written. It's dated a few days ago, the day Kelly and I broke up! I start reading it.

Dear Diary
Kelly and Ellington broke up today. I know I should feel sad for him, but honestly, I love it! Words can't describe how happy I am!! I may have a-

Suddenly someone knocks on the door. I look up from the book.

"Ellington? Are you okay?" it's Rydel. I quickly close the book and put it back under her pillow. I then make her bed a little considering I messed it up. When I'm happy with my job, I go and open the door. Rydel goes into the room and I close the door after her. She sits on the bed and I sit beside her. 

"Why did you run?" she asks after a while. I look at her and she looks at me, right into my eyes. I don't know what to say. I brake the gaze and look down at my feet. 

"I don't know! I really don't! I just, I don't think I'm ready to let her go yet!" I say. Rydel takes my hand and with her free hand she moves my head so I look into her beautiful hazel eyes. 

"I know Ell. I'm not going to preassure you! When you're ready, I'll be here, but until then, our dating is just for the fans! Friends?" she says and let go of my hand. I shake her hand and nod. 

"Friends!" I say as she pulls me into a big hug. They say that friends hug for like 2 seconds, but this hug lasted for way longer. None of us wanted to let go. I smelled her perfume and schampoo as long as I could. 

"Ell?"

"Yeah?"

"Can't we just stay here forever?" I smile.

"I wish we could! We don't have to go down yet though!" I say without letting her go. I feel her nod.

"So you won't let go yet?" she says and her voice isn't more than a whisper.
