Ellington's POV
"Ellington, wake up!" I heard Riker yelling as I opened my eyes. "Come on!"
"I'm up, I'm up." I replied. I rolled out of my bunk on the tour bus and stood up.
"Come eat, hon." Stormie said. She gestured for me to come towards the front of the bus. The small table in the living area was covered with KIND bars and other weird Lynch-y snacks. They were kind of health freaks. I grabbed a granola bar and sat on the bench next to Ross. Rydel was across the bus brushing her long blonde hair. I flashed her a closed mouth smile, my cheeks filled with granola. She giggled.
"Where are we anyways?" Ross asked.
"Somewhere in Ohio, I think." Rocky replied. I wouldn't totally rely on him for our location.
"We should be in Chicago soon." Stormie added as she began putting the food back into her organized boxes.
The boys and I all headed to the back of the bus to play around with their recording equipment. Rydel decided to stay with her mom and help get the outfits ready for the show tomorrow. We always liked having our little makeshift studio with us all the time. Whenever we got a cool idea for a song, we just recorded it for later. It's how we got the ideas for most of the songs on our album, plus a lot more. I sat on the bench between Ross and Rocky.
"The fans are loving the instagram pictures from last night, there's like a million notifications on the officialr5 account." Ross commented as he scrolled through the instagram feed. "Damn, mom posted so many."
"Haven't you seen her during the shows, I swear she watches us through her phone's camera." Riker laughed.
"She took some after the show? I didn't even see her." Rocky added, looking at his phone.
Ross sat back in his seat. Suddenly, his face went white and his eyes opened wide. He looked like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Ellington?" He barely managed to croak out.
"What?" I asked, slightly confused. Before I could comment on the expression on his face, he shoved his phone in front of my face. My face went white, just like Ross'. The picture was of Ross and Rocky standing next to the stage door talking, but what I saw in the back was the shocking part. It was Rydel and I, standing against the wall. My hands were on her waist, and my lips were presses against hers. "Shit." I whispered.
Rocky scrolled through his phone until he saw what I was so shooken up about. His jaw dropped. "Dude." He whispered.
I began reading through the comments on the picture.
OMG! RYDELLINGTON!
FINALLY A RYDELLINGTON KISS!
GET IT ELL
As horrified as I was, that last one made me laugh.
"What's with you guys?" Riker asked. He didn't know about Rydel and I, and she begged me not to tell him.
"Uh, nothing." Ross replied, grabbing his phone from my hand and shoving it into his pocket. Riker looked suspicious, but eventually brushed it off.
This was a mess. Not only did the fans know, but so did all of our friends and family. This would take forever to explain. Now I had to tell Rydel, and that would be the worst part.
