R5 : The Best Years of my Life

Chapter 2

Riker POV:

Hey I'm Riker Lynch and I'm 31 years old.

I'm dating my good friend's sister, Vanessa. She's a really nice girl and I'm thinking of asking her to marrying me soon. I might ask her when we go out later, I haven't figured everything out yet. All I know is that I have a ring and a beautiful girl, but not an idea. 

I was in a band called R5, notice I say was. We broke up because I was stuck in traffic, coming from my mom's hotel to check on her, since she wasn't really feeling well. I ended up being late for the concert and all my siblings flipped out on me. It was the last concert of our 8th world tour, so I understand why they were upset, but they all quit the band.  Everyone thought I was out with some girl that I met, but I was still with Vanessa, so why would I be with another girl. 

I'm still in a band because I never quit the music business. We're called Riker because I'm the lead and there is 3 guys and 2 girls. Riker, Isabella, Issac, Kyle, Erica, and Ryan. They thought if we went my name because it had our initials we would have a lot of fans, which we do. I'm lead singer and bass player which is really cool. I don't believe there is any band with the lead singer playing bass.

End of POV

Riker called Vanessa to make sure she was ready.

Riker- Hey Vanessa are you ready for me to pick you up?

Vanessa- Yeah, go ahead and come over.

Riker drove over to Vanessa's house and knocked on the front door.

Vanessa answered the door.

Vanessa- Hey babe

Vanessa gave Riker a quick kiss on the lips and then remembered her sister was over at her house getting ready for a date with Ross.

Vanessa- Oh, let me just go let Laura know I'm leaving. She came over and we helped each other get ready for our dates.

Riker- Okay. Do you remember when Laura and Ross were madly in love?

Vanessa- You know they still are right? Plus, I think Ross is going to ask Laura to marry him. They've been together since what 2016? On and off.

Riker- Maybe, but don't be too certain.

Riker took Vanessa's hand and lead her to his car.

Rocky's POV:

Sup, I'm Rocky Lynch and I am 28. I happen to be in a wonderful relationship with this girl, Taylor. Sure she is 5 years older than be, but who cares about age any more? We've been dating for 3 months and she is always trying to get me to do a duet with her. I would love to but I have told her, after the last R5 concert where everyone quit, and I was the last one, I haven't wrote down any lyrics or played a guitar. 3 years it's been and I still can't pull myself to make a career for myself. I'm a hockey player now and I'm not mad about it.

End of POV

Rocky walks into Taylor's room and hugs her.

Rocky- Hey babe. What you listening to?

Taylor- Your old band, R5.

Taylor takes out her earbuds and hugs Rocky back.

Rocky- Really, I told you our music wasn't the greatest, you are way more popular. I still don't know why I put years of my life into the stupid band.

Rocky's Thoughts- How about because you loved it. About 90% of the songs you put out you produced and wrote the music too. And one more thing...YOU STARTED THE BAND!

Taylor- Oh, come on, you are a great singer and musician and I want to hear you sing live. Please for me. I want to hear how far now you have come from Louder and all the other albums.

Taylor kisses Rocky on the lips to try and convince him to sing for her.

Rocky- I don't think so babe. I'm a hockey player not a musician.

Rocky's Thoughts- Oh don't lie, you know you'd rather be jamming with your family. You were the one who started this and you were the one to end it.

Taylor- Please!

Taylor kisses Rocky's lips, neck, along his collar bone, and back up to his lips and pulls away to try to convince him. She honestly wanted him too but she had a deep thought of doing the song then music video, than another music video and song when they break up. Even with that thought in the back of her mind, she knew she loved him enough to not do it.

Taylor- Now will you sing for and with me?

Rocky- I'll think about it. I still don't know, you know but you don't know.

Taylor continues to make out with Rocky, trying to convince him to do a song.

Rocky- Okay, I guess I really don't have a choice. I'll do one song with you.

Taylor- Yes, I love you, hotty.

Taylor jumps into Rocky's arms and kisses him again. She gets out of his arms and pulls Rocky onto her bed and gets on top of him while kissing him.

Rocky- You're not getting more out of me even if you try, one song. It's your career.

Taylor smiles at him saying that he'll do one song with her and continues to kiss Rocky.
