Do i know you too well? (An Ellington Lee Ratliff fic) (complete)

Chapter 31

Eliza POV-

"wow that show was amazing!" I said to Rocky as we walked off to the changing rooms. Ross was with Ell and Lottie so I walked back with the others. "Rocky?" I nudged him because he seemed in a different place

"Uh...What?" He mumbled keeping his head down

"Whats wrong? I dont like seeing you sad!" He was one of my best friends and I always worried too much about him, he might be the joker but he was quite sensitive

"Just, um, someone, dont worry about it" He patted my back then went to walk off but his phone rang. He had different ringtones set for certain people and I knew that this was Clara. But instead of picking it up he declined it. I ran up to him and grabbed his phone, putting it in my pocket.

"Right, spill!" I sat him down on one of the sofas and a tear splashed onto his cheek. That was something I never thought I would see.

"Well, as you'd probably noticed, Clara isn't here" He looked up at me.

"Yeah, Stormie just said she was sick?"

"Sick of me more like..." He trailed off then started playing with his hands.

"Whats happened Rock?"

"Well, before we started packing for the tour, Lottie rang me and of course, I have her picture on there. Clara looked over and questioned me about it like who she was and stuff, but I didnt really know how to react. I hesitated then said she was just a friend which made Clara jump to the conclusion that I was cheating on her. I tried to explain but she ran out back to her moms." His voice started to crack so I leant over and gave him a hug

"Has she said anything since then?" I said softly

"Well, she rang me up apologising for her outburst but then went back onto 'who is she' and 'how long have you known her' so I said that if she didnt trust me then we had nothing and she hung up" Ross walked in just as another tear left Rocky's eye

"Whats up man?" He ran over and gave him a massive hug. He pulled himself together and just said "Girls" with a laugh.

"Oh yeah, dont know how I handle this one to be honest" He sighed winking at me so I pushed him onto Rocky.

*Later that evening*

"Rocky, we need to speak to you" I ran over to grab him before he went to bed

"What guys? Im tired and I just want to go to bed!" He snapped

"Woah, step back!" Ross laughed "C'mon man!"

"Right, we've spoken to Stormie and she really doesnt see a reason why Lottie cant stay on the bus? So why are you adamant that she doesnt?" I said putting a hand on his shoulder

"It's just, well, I miss Clara and seeing you guys all together makes me um...." he looked down

"Jealous? Oh Rocky, you and clara will make up but dont you want Ratliff to be happy?" I said

"I guess" he mumbled back

"There we go! Right go to bed then moody!" I poked him and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. I gave him a hug then Ross took my hand and we walked to our "Room" (Bunk bed...)

"Night sweetie" He kissed my forehead then got in bed.

Then the curtain opened opposite and Rydel leaned over

"Aww, its so cute isnt it?" She whispered

"Ell and Lottie?" I whispered back

"Yeah. Maybe we should have a girly time tomorrow in Paris?"

"If we can separate them and get Ross to take Ell somewhere!" I laughed trying to keep quiet

"Okay, talk to you tomorrow" She shut her curtain, and the snoring began- first from Rocky, Then Riker, then Ell then some mumbling from Ross. Oh, the fun of being on a tour bus with the guys!
