Ain't No Way We're Goin' Home (a Rydellington/R5 Fan Fic)

Chapter 6

Rydel's POV

"It's not what it looks like!" Ell screams.

"How is it not what it looks like, it looks like you screwed my sister!" Ross exclaims.

"That's exactly how it's not what it looks like, I almost screwed your sister" Ellington states confidently.

"How is that better?" I whisper.

"Well they're gonna kill me anyway, so why not be honest?" he shrugs.

"You have two options, Ellington. Put Rydel down and get out, or stay and get the life beaten out of you" Riker growls.

"Now hold on a second, let's give them a chance to explain themselves" mom demands.

"What is there to explain?" Rocky sighs.

"They deserve a change to explain why they should be together" she snaps.

"Why should they, it'll ruin- ok" Ross sighs when mom gives him a glare. Ellington snatches my pants from Ryland before mom leads everyone into the living room. Ell helps me put on my pants before he stands me up and takes my hand.

"We're adults, you know" he whispers. "We don't need to do what they tell us to. The decision is yours. Rydel, will you be my girlfriend?" I nod as a few tears of joy trickle down my cheeks. His lips meet mine for a few brief seconds before we are dragged off to the living room by Ryland and Riker. They sit us down on the couch and they stare at us like we're on trial.

"So what are you? Friends with benefits? Lovers? What?" Riker questions. Ellington takes into my eyes and takes my hand.

"We're boyfriend and girlfriend" he states, staring into my eyes.

"You can't do this" Ross says gravely. "It'll ruin R5, it'll ruin everything we've ever worked for."

"No it won't!" Ellington exclaims. "I'd never break up with her! I've loved her for five years and none of her shenanigans have ever affected that."

"But what if she gets pregnant? Then what? You and Rydel will have to take care of a baby and it'll be R3" Ross yells. "We've just made our dream come true, and now it's in jeopardy. Please don't be so selfish as to take it away from Riker, Rocky, and I."

"She's not gonna get pregnant!" Ellington urges.

"How do you know? It was a pretty close call earlier" Ross sneers.

"No it wasn't! We would have stopped!" Ellington screams before making his way over to Ross.

"Ellington, can I talk to you?" I interject.

"Sure" he breaths, trying to cool himself down. He carries me down the hall to the spare room and closes the door.

"We have to tell them we're not going to be together" I announce.

"Why?" he questions.

"Because there's no way they're going to treat us the way they used to if we're dating" I sigh. "Ross is right, this is our dream and we can't jeopardize it."

"Ok, whatever you want, my love" he coos. He carries me back into the living room, where the boys are sitting with their arms crossed.

"Rydel, Ellington, you can't date. We forbid it" Riker states.

"Ok" I sigh. "Ell and I agreed that you are right. We're not going to date."

"Well that went better than I thought" Rocky laughs.

"I'm tired, can someone take me up to my room?" I ask.

"I will" Riker volunteers, even before Ellington can. He carries me up to my room before placing me in my bed. He slams the door behind him, leaving me without a goodnight kiss from Ellington. I lay in bed, wide awake, for a few hours before my door cracks open.

"Hey" a sweet voice whispers.

"Hi Ellie" I whisper. Ell comes in and sits on my bed beside me.

"Will you stay?" I ask.

"Of course, my love" he smiles, laying down beside me. Being in his arms, I quickly drift off into a peaceful sleep.

I wake up to a cloudy morning, but at least it stopped raining. More importantly, Ellington is no where to be found. I grab my crutches, that finally ended up in my room, and I head downstairs.

"Where's El-" I spit out before I'm cut of my mom.

"Rydel, there's someone I'd like you to meet" mom announces.

"What?" I question as mom leads me into the kitchen. I find my brothers there, casually chatting with a guy that's about as tall as Rocky, who is standing next to him.

"Hey Rydel, this is Taylor" Rocky smiles, referring to the guy. He has spiky light brown hair and piercing green eyes. He's somewhat attractive, but not nearly as attractive as my Ellington.

"Hi Taylor" I sigh unenthusiastically.

"Hi there" he laughs. I can't help but notice he has a bit of an accent. In a blink of an eye, all of my brothers and my mom seem to have disappeared. Now it's just me and Taylor.

"So...um...what exactly are you doing in my house?" I question, trying not to sound rude.

"I'm your mom's friend's son. Our moms just got back from lunch and they thought I might want to meet you" he answers casually.

"Oh" I say blankly. After a few minutes of awkward silence, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to run my hand through his hair. It sure looks soft. He flips his hair casually, and then looks back at me with a smirk.

"Do you want to touch it?" he laughs. I nod before running my fingers through his soft hair as he giggles a little bit. Just then, the lights dim and some romantic music starts to play.

"Your brothers are really good about being subtle, aren't they?" he smiles.

"Amazing" I groan.

"So anyway, I heard you just had a really bad break up, and I was wondering if you'd let me take you out for ice cream" he offers.

"You really don't have to do that" I sigh.

"It would be my pleasure" he smiles, showing me his dimples and his shining white teeth. His charming accent plus that smile makes it impossible to say no, but I don't have any feelings for him.

"Alright" I smile weakly.

"Shall we go?" he smirks.

"We shall" I sigh.

"Hey, where are you kids going?" mom, who is sitting on the couch chatting with another woman who I'm guessing his Taylor's mom, asks eagerly as we walk through the living room.

"We're going out for ice cream" I answer, hoping she'll stop me.

"Have fun!" she chirps. Taylor and I walk out the door, and I second guess not telling my brothers about Ell and I.
