THE BOY NEXT DOOR

TALKING & CRUSH

Ryland's POV
Me and the boys are downstairs just talking about things. Rydel and Aimee are upstairs. I looked over to see Ross thinking.

"Hey bro. What's wrong?" I asked, getting everyone's attention. Ross didn't answer. He was just sitting in the same position.

"Ross?" Riker asked. He glanced at us. "Oh uh yea?" He asked, snapping out of whatever he was thinking.

"You okay? What are you thinking about?" Rocky asked.

He just shrugged. "Aimee"

"What about her? Do you like her?" I smirked. We all ship Raimee, including the fans. "Well, yea I like her. She's beautiful. She's funny. She's weird. She's not afraid to be herself. She's perfect. Everything about her is perfect but" He says, but paused.

"But she'll never like me back. She even said that" He frowned.

"Ross, she'll come around at some point. She'll start liking you. She might not think she likes you right now because maybe something happened in her past that she's afraid to start dating. I don't know. But any girl would be lucky enough to go out with a guy like you. You're a great brother and you'll be an awesome boyfriend to Aimee someday" Riker says, making Ross smile a little.

"We also heard what happened before. Ross, you need to stop eavesdropping on Aimee's conversation. She's getting annoyed with that and if you keep doing that then she'll definitely not like you" Rocky added.

"I guess you're right. I just really like her"

"Doesn't mean to eavesdrop on every conversation she has Ross. Just give her space than she'll probably realize how much she likes you" I said.

He smiled. "You know? I'm really happy I'm falling for someone who isn't even a fan. I'm happy I fell for someone who's not a fan. Don't get me wrong. I love my fans but it's nice to have someone who isn't a fan"

We all agreed with him. It is nice. We love our fans more than anything but it's a lot of work and it's hard to find someone who doesn't know you're in a band.
