Chapter 23: YOLO

Peyton's pov:

*One Day Until Ell's Birthday*

I wake up in my own room, with Chubby the bear in my arms. "Cubbs who brought us up last night?" I ask, holding him out in front of me. He stays silent for a moment. "Ryland did." He says. "You can talk?!?!" I ask in surprise.  "No baby girl he can't, but I can." Riker says, opening my bedroom door fully. "But... how in the ...... Oh bother! " I say. "Hey the guys' and I are going to go shopping, and Rydel was wondering if you would like to go to the spa with her. For some Mommy and Peyton time. And we'd meet up for lunch, and afterwards we'll go to the beach. How does that sound?" Riker says. "Mommy's gonna take me to a spa?!?! Yeah!! It sounds like fun." I say, jumping into Riker's arms. He chuckles, and Ry enters the room. "Did you tell her?" He asks. "Yeah. Go and get Rydel for me." Riker says. Ryland walks out into the hallway. "RYDEL!!!!! PEYTON WANTS TO GO!!" Ryland yells. I wrap my arms around Riker's neck. "Hey Ry. I could've done that." Riker says. "Hey Riker. Guess what?" "What?" "Shut it." Ry says. I giggle, and reach for Ry.

Ryland takes me from Riker, and he sits on my bed. He sets me beside him, and he wraps a protective arm around me. I snuggle up to his side, and he looks at me. "Don't get to comfortable. Rydel texted me, and she tolled me that she's on her way up here." Ry says. I sigh, and hug his arm. Rydel enters the room, and shoos the boys out. "Okay, what to wear?" I ask. Rydel walks into my closet, and she pulls out a black wavy skirt, and a pink shirt that says, "Ellington Lee Ratliff." I smile, and go into the bathroom to change. I walk out, and Rydel is on her phone. My guess is that she is playing 'Candy Crush.' I come out and twirl in front of her. "Hey, baby. Well, don't you look cute." She says. "Thanks momma." I say, walking over to my vanity, and brushing my hair. She pulls my hair up into to pigtails. "All done." She says. "You're getting a lot better at not crying." Rydel says, wrapping her arms around me. "I know. Elly!" "Wanna go and see Ell?" Rydel asks rising an eyebrow. "Can I????" I ask. "Sure, but be done in about.... 10 minutes.Cause thats when we're leaving."She says. I nod my head, and run over to the stairs.

"Daddy!! Daddy?" I say. "Hmm... Where's daddy at?" I wonder out loud. I hear someone come up behind me, but I don't move. Suddenly, I'm scooped up into someone's arms. "Boo." They says. "You don't scare me." I say. "Boo!" someone else says. "Nope still not scared." I say. "Ok. Suit yourself then." The same person says. I feel the first person, loosen their grip on me. "What are you doing, may I ask?" I ask. "Oh nothing." With this the person drops me. I scream, but someone catches me. "And you said you weren't scared." Ellington says. I glance over at Rocky, and Ryland who are currently laughing their heads off. "Hey guys. Guess what?" "What?" "I hate you." I say, before pouting into Ell's chest. "I heard someone scream, what's wrong?!?!" Riker asks, coming in with a beanie, or two in his hands. "Those jerks, were being mean to Peyton. They wanted to scare her, and so Ry dropped her." "But you caught her, right?" "Yeah, Elly did." I say. "She said nothing scared her. We both said boo, a couple of times, and none of it worked. So I dropped her." Ry explains. "Dude! I thought you scared her! Not drop her!" Rocky says, approaching us. "I'm sorry, baby girl. Ry's a demon." Rocky says. "You got that right." I say, holding my arms out to him. He takes me from Ell, and sets me on his hip. "And I'm sorry.." I say, placing  my head on Rocky's shoulder. "Its okay Boo." He says. "Quite it!" Riker says. "I'm thinking that should be Peyton's new nickname. "I like it!" I say, hugging him. He smiles, and kisses my head. "Rockstar, set Peyton down, for a second." Riker says. Rocky sets me down, and Riker walks over to me.  He takes one of the Beanies out of his hands, and he sets it on my head. He adjusts it, until it looks good to him. "Peyton time to go!" Rydel yells. "I have your Ipod touch, and headphones! Say goodbye to the boys, and lets go!!" Rydel yells. "Bye guys." I say. Ross, Riker, Ryland, Rocky, and Ellington wrap me in a hug. We break the hug, and they each take turns kissing my head. "Love the shirt." Ell says, before kissing my head a second time. I smile, and run to Rydel. She hands me my stuff. "Bye boys! Be good." Rydel yells, as we head out the door.
