Rydel's POV

"What the hell is going on here?" dad yells as Ellington sits up. Ell looks at me with scared eyes as my heart pounds. We both awkwardly look at our parents and at each other a few times before I take a deep breath. I try to speak, but I just end up in Ellington's arms, softly crying.

"Ok fine! I love her" Ellington states fearlessly. "You can tear us apart all you want, but that's never going to change the way I feel about her." My parents stand there speechlessly, while I shake and cry in Ellington's arms.

"Mark, you deal with this" mom instructs sleepily. I give her a saddened look as she storms off into her and dad's bedroom.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't an option" dad announces. "You can't be a couple, it'll mess up the band."

"Mark, Rydel is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I need her. Nothing anyone could ever say or do would make me stop loving her. There has to be a way we can be together" Ellington says gravely. My heart flutters as it breaks painfully.

"No. I'm sorry, but it's best for everyone. You have fans that count on this band and if you two break up, it'll ruin everything" he exclaims.

"I won't take no for an answer!" Ellington yells. "I would never break up with her in a million years. She is the one for me and I'm completely sure about it!"

"Ok, well Rydel is an adult and I'm not in the band, so you need to take this up with the boys. We'll have a band meeting tomorrow morning and we can work this out then" he sighs. "Just try to stay away from each other for the rest of the night and don't get your hopes up." Dad walks off to his bedroom, leaving Ellington and I alone once again.

"Thanks" I smile weakly as I wipe the tears off of my face.

"No problem, my love" he whispers before he lightly brushes my lips. I pull him closer, deepening the kiss until we're in the middle of another hot make out session.

"Your dad was right" Ellington moans into the kiss, "we probably should stay away from each other for the rest of the night."

"I don't wanna" I smirk, pulling away from him.

"Your brothers are going to get home at any moment" he laughs.

"Fine, take me up to my room" I groan. He carries me upstairs and gently lays me down on my bed. I snuggle into my blankets as he leaves the room. The door closes after him and I lay still. I apply some lip gloss for when he comes back in a few minutes. I sit up and twiddle my thumbs, awaiting his return. As I expected, the door cracks open ten minutes later.

"I missed you" I smile, batting my eyes.

"Um...I missed you too?" Ross says awkwardly as he picks me up. Oops.

"Anyways, dinner is ready. I'll give you twenty bucks if you say mine and Ryland's is better" he offers.

"Oh goodness" I sigh. Ross carries me into the kitchen and sets me down in the chair next to Ellington, who greets me with a happy tone. He slowly grabs my hand and holds it tightly, sending sparks throughout my entire body.

"Ok, first off Ryland and I made some delicious lemonade just as a bonus" Ross smirks proudly. My eyes wander over to Ryland, who is in the back of the kitchen, tasting the lemonade. A disgusted look washes over Ryland's face as he quickly tries to hide it.

"It's so good I have to drink it all myself" Ryland coughs, before beginning to drink the entire pitcher. He quickly gulps down the giant pitcher of lemonade before stuffing a scoop of Mac and cheese into his mouth to get rid of the taste. He gives us a thumbs up before swallowing the Mac and cheese.

"If you thought you could win my vote by making Mac and cheese, you are dead wrong" Rocky laughs.

"Oh we'll see about that" Ross smirks. We "enjoy" a dinner of Mac and cheese, made by Ross and Ryland, and shrimp tacos, made by Riker and Rocky. Over all...I survived. For now...

"So, who won?" Rocky asks, turning to Ellington and I.

"Umm...can I say nobody?" Ellington laughs.

"I think that means we won" Riker whispers to Ross and Ryland.

"No, there's still Rydel" Ross shouts. "So Rydel, who won?" Ross stealthily lifts twenty dollars out of his pocket and begins fiddling with it in his hands.

"I agree with Ellington" I stammer.

"Oh come on! You're both such cop outs!" Rocky exclaims. All of the boys do the dishes, while still arguing over who won and lost the competition. I admire the way Ellington's hair floats due to the open window in the kitchen. Ah Ellington, he's so amazing. So sweet, so funny, such an amazing kisser. I'd love to be kissing him right now.

What if the boys don't allow us to be together though? Why wouldn't they? It would be the same accept we'd kiss a little. And maybe flirt. And go on a few dates. We haven't even had out first date. We should have our first date. I'm broken out of my thought by Ellington leaning close to my ear.

"Say you have to go to the bathroom" he whispers.

"I have to go to the bathroom" I repeat out loud.

"I'll take you" Ellington smiles, picking me up and taking me away. He carries me into the bathroom and sets me down on the counter, locking the door behind him.

"What's up?" I giggle.

"The ceiling" he laughs. "But I was thinking since we didn't eat much dinner, we should go to In and Out once all of your brothers are asleep." It's like he read my mind! He asked me out!

"Ok" I giggle happily.

"But in the meantime, since we're alone..." he trails off. He comes closer to me and we wrap our arms around each other tightly. His lips gently move against mine as my hands work their way into his soft dark hair. I wrap my legs around him and he lifts me off of the counter so that he is carrying me. He lays me down gently on the floor and he continues kissing me passionately. One thing leads to another and soon, we're both in our underwear.

Just then, I hear someone trying to open the door. Ellington jumps off of me and looks into my eyes with fear.

"Who's in there?" Ryland stammers.

"It's Rydel" I say nervously.

"Rydel, can you get out? I really need to pee" he says shakily.

"Just go upstairs" I direct.

"I can't hold it!" he snaps.

"Should we get dressed?" I whisper to Ellington.

"Probably" he whispers back. With that we scramble to put our clothes on while Ryland's yelling and pounding in the door gets louder and louder. When out clothes are barely on, Ellington unlocks the door and an angry Ryland storms in. He pushes us both out into the hallway Ellington catches me before I fall on my face. I turn my head slightly to see my entire family, including my parents, staring at us with wide eyes. Only then do I realize that both of our hair is messed up, Ell's pants are not zipped, nor is his belt buckled. His face is also covered in my pale pink lip gloss.

"Rydel, are these yours?" Ryland asks, holding my pajama pants as he comes out of the bathroom. Oh crap!
