Forbidden Love, a Ross Lynch fanfiction

Chapter 18

Emma's Pov

This is such a beautiful ring, and Riker is such a good kisser ... today has been so perfect. But I'm dreading tomorrow though.

I'm really excited to see my family again, I miss them so much.

We left the shopping center and drove back to Ellen's house. I decided to ask Ellen if it was okay if Riker left her and Ross back to her house and then we went to my house to see my family. So we left Ellen and Ross back to her house and Riker and I drove to mine.

It's a surprise for my parents to see me again after a month and a few weeks. I knocked on the door and my mom greeted me with the most happy smile expressed on her face. Then my Dad came to the front door and his eyes completely lit up when he saw me.

I introduce them to Riker and we all go and sit in the living room. We all sit and chat for hours, until my Mom notices my blue ring shining from my right hand. She asks where it is from and I turn to face Riker.

My Mom already knows the gossip about Riker and I because Ellen tells her Mom everything and her Mom tells my Mom everything. So there's no keeping secrets between our families.

So Mom knew exactly where the ring came from, and she didn't look too disgusted that I was in love with someone so much older than me. If she sees him the way I do then she'd know that he's such a genuine guy who would never treat me badly.

We sat and talked until it was time to leave to go back to Ellen's house. I could tell that they were both dreading tomorrow just as much as I was, because I knew that it wasn't going to be easy.

But I've got Ellen and Riker by my side through it all, and that's two great shoulders to cry on.

Ellen's Pov

Emma and Riker came back to my house after a few hours and we had hot cocoa waiting for them on the island at the side of my kitchen.

My dog Lexi had taken a particular liking to Ross, I'm not surprised though, who wouldn't?

We finish drinking our hot cocoa and then we sit by the fire and watch some Christmas movies. I know it's only the end of November and we're really early, but I couldn't wait any longer.

I think the 3 of us have done quite a good job of distracting Emma for today. I'm quite proud of us for being a rock for her and extremely proud of Emma for being so brave.

Riker and Ross went upstairs to my room to get their pyjamas on and write a few new songs for their new album, even though sometime last night was only out a few months ago.

They are such a talented family. I love singing so much, but my stage fright gets the better of me every time, I'm also that person that cares way too much what other people think of them. Like, if someone looks at me weirdly my insecurity just breaks through the roof.

Emma and I say goodnight to my Mom and head upstairs to join the boys. Ross sleeps shirtless, which I don't complain about at all because his perfect six pack beside me and his muscles holding me when I sleep isn't such a bad thing.

We walk into my room and find Riker and Ross on my guitar and keyboard putting together different chords and thinking of lyrics they could use.

Ross has this perfect voice that gives me chills every single time I hear it, and his instrument skills are incredible. He plays the drums, guitar and keyboard. But I'm sure that he'd pick up any instrument and be able to play it.

When Ross and I sing together it feels amazing. He wants me to sing with him on one of their new songs but I don't think I can.

But the thing about the Lynch's is that they are all musical, Ryland is even a DJ.  They can also all dance and act, which is pretty amazing.

I can't believe a family like that accept me into their home. But despite being famous, they are the most down to earth people I've ever met in my life.

I get into my bed beside Ross and cuddle into him. Riker and Emma are on their airbeds on the floor and Riker snores so loudly that it makes Lexi bark for most of the night, but of course Riker doesn't wake up so he just keeps snoring and Lexi keeps barking.

I had an amazing day with 3 people that mean the absolute world to me. I just hope that tomorrow that we can all be there for Emma and support her in such a tough time.
