Chapter 21: Finally!

Ratliff's pov:

I watch as Ryland sets Peyton down underneath the covers. Ryland slips down next to her, and then I do the same. "Dude..... in less than 2 days until, you turn 21. Are you going to at least try and impress Rydel?" Ryland asks. " I've thought about it, but I don't know. I mean I think she likes Louis way more than she likes me." I say. "Well, let's say I got my girlfriend to have a sleepover with you crush, and they're gonna talk about boys, what would you think of that?" Ryland asks, clearly taunting me. "Dude did you?!?!" I ask. "Yes. Kenna and Delly planned a sleepover tonight with Kylie, and Madelyn. Kenna promised me she'd tell me who Rydel said she liked. And Ell trust me, its you." Ryland says, patting my shoulder. He rolls over, to face sleep the pillow tonight. "Night, Ell." He says. "Night, Ry." I say, placing a protective arm around Peyton. Eventually I fall sleep, dreaming about no other than Rydel.

(A/N: And if you haven't found out yet I'm a huge Rydellington shipper!)

Rydel's pov:

"Hey, the girls should be here any minute. I'll see you guys in the morning. Oh, and if any of you try to esdrop, you won't be able to hear for a month." I say. I hear Ross gulp, and I smile. I hear the bell downstairs ring. "They're here!!" I say, taking off for the stairs. I open the door, and I see Makenna, Kylie, and Madelyn waiting for me. "Hey, can I go and see my boyfriend?" Callie asks. "Callie! You got the invite." I say, wrapping her in a hug. "Yeah. Now I'm going to go see Rockstar, real quick. " She says squeezing me back.

I watch as she races up the stairs, and to Rocky's room. "And if you excuse me for a second, I'm going to go and see Ryland, and I'll be back before she does." "Meet us in my room." I say, before Makenna runs upstairs.

Makenna's pov:

(A/N: Warning, extremely cute scene coming up. Don't read if you can't handle the cuteness.)

I run upstairs, and I nearly run into Ross. I fall down, and he helps me up. "Sorry, Kenna." He says. "Its okay. Rydel wants you to know, esdropers will have to deal with me." I say. He rolls his eyes, and runs down the stairs. I walk to Ryland's room, and I slowly open the door. And I'm nearly awing out loud. Why? Because I see the cutest sight in the world.

Ryland is laying face down sleeping, in his favorite black tank top. Not only that. Peyton; who had probably was under Ell's arm, was now laying face down on Ry's back. I giggle, and snap a picture.

I walk in, and lightly plant a kiss on his cheek. He stirs slightly, but then clams down, and sleeps. I tip-toe out of his room, and enter Rydel's room. 'Don't forget your job.' I think. I sit down in the little circle that Rydel had made.

Rydel's pov:

"Okay! Lets play, who's your crush? Starting with Kenna." I say picking our first victim.  "My boyfriend." She says, glancing at her background of her phone. "Okay, Callie!" I say, grabbing some popcorn. "I have a small crush on Riker, but not as big as the one I have on my baby." She says. "Weird. Um... Kylie?" "Riker." "Madelyn." "Riker." She says. "Ok! Lets cut to you Delly. Who do you like?" Makenna asks. Did she really just ask me that question? "Umm...." "I mean you and Ell have kissed several times. Is it Ellybear?" Kylie asks, teasing me. "I... um..." Tears start streaming down my face. Was it that obvious that I like Ell? "Tutu?" Makenna asks, before I run out of my room.

I avoid my brothers, who pretend not to have been esdropping. The tears blur my eyes, and I slide down a wall. I put my face into my knees, and I cry my eyes out. After 5 minutes I feel a small hand fall on my shoulder. I look up, and see Peyton. "Pey.... what are you doing?" I ask sniffling. "Elly brought me out here. I had to go to the bathroom. But that's not important,  what's wrong with mommy?" Peyton asks, sitting in my lap. "Honey, mommy's just confused. She's worried about something." "Is mommy worried that she's gonna pick the wrong guy?" Peyton ask. "Pey... how'd you know what was going on?" "I was with Daddy. You didn't see me though." She says smiling.

"I wanna pick Ell, but then there's Louis. Who do you think Peyton?" I ask. "I say," Peyton says moving my hair away from my chest,"Mommy should follow her heart." Peyton says pointing to it. "Baby, you're right. And my heart says Ellington. Wow, that was more easier than I thought it was." I say, hugging Peyton. "It took you long enough." Ratliff says, coming around the corner. "Elly!" Peyton says giggling. He snatches Peyton away from me. "What do you mean?" I ask. "It took you long enough to find out, that following your heart will help you decide." Ratliff says, laying his forehead against, mine. I hear someone join us, but I don't break the contact with Ratliff. Slowly, but surely Ellington places his lips on mine. The kiss was a blast of love.

When we break the kiss, I look up. It turns out my whole family, and my friends were there. Makenna, was all wrapped up in Ry's arms, and Callie with Rocky. Riker had his arms around both Kylie, and Madelyn. "Its about time!" Peyton says, from Callie's arms. "For what?" I ask, laying my head on Ell's shoulder. "Rydellington." She says, smiling. "God dang, Pey." Ratliff says. She smiles, and Callie sets her down. Peyton runs over to us, and hugs us. As our hug breaks, the door bell goes off. "I'll get it." I say. "Mommy!" Peyton says, from Ratliff's arms. I pick her up and carry her downstairs.

The person rings the bell again. "I'll be there in a second!" I say, approaching the door. The person lays off the bell for a second. I unlock the door, and I swing it open. "Hey is Ellington here?" A familiar voice says. I nearly drop Peyton. My mouth drops. How did she find us? Where did she get our address? Why would she want Ellington? And why would she show up randomly 2 days before his birthday? This night just got a bit crazier.

So........ a cliffy!!! Its been forever since I had one of those. So I decided to put one in this chapter. So......... who do you think she is????? I'd tell you, but its a BIG secret,  just like who Peyton's older brother is! And only 3 or 4 more chapters until you don't find out. Cause Its gonna be in the next book, maybe...

So anyway, I was wondering do you guys think I should do a info book called 'Everything R5'? And put bio info in it, R5er's who, R5er problems, imagines, and a bunch of other stuff like ; songs? I've been thinking about it, and I was wondering what you guys think about that idea.

So please comment in the comment section what you think, and I'll tell you when and if I'll be doing one.

And just a quick note on the imagines in that book, no bad ones, only sweet ones. And you can request anyone.

So that was the longest author's note I've ever done, so if you enjoyed this chapter, comment, vote, add it to your library,  or do whatever you want with it.

Until the next chapter, stay hyper! And love R5!!!!! ~ Ratliff, and Ryland's Angel ~
