Ain't No Way We're Goin' Home (a Rydellington/R5 Fan Fic)

Chapter 8

Rydel's POV

"Run away with you? Are you crazy?" I snap.

"Yes, but that is beside the point" Ellington smirks. "Come on, Delly. Once your ankle heals we can just go. In the middle of the night. We can finally love each other in peace!"

"But...what about the band?" I breath in dismay.

"I don't care about the band! All I care about is us!" he states firmly.

"Ell, we can't just..." I trail off.

"Sure we can! We're adults" he states. He picks me up and pulls me onto his lap before wrapping his arms around me tightly. "Picture this; you and me getting a house together, getting married, having children." I take a deep breath before closing my eyes. I imagine Ellington being the first thing I see when I wake up, and the last thing I see when I go to bed, I imagine a sparkling diamond ring on my finger, I imagine our kids, Riley and Emma playing in the backyard as we watch them run around with proud smiles on our faces. I'm broken out of my thought by soft delicious lips pressed against mine.

"See how amazing that would be?" Ell whispers dreamily.

"Ok, let's do it!" I exclaim happily before I press my lips back on to his. Our lips move in slow passionate sync as I run my hands through his soft hair.

"Ok, thats enough" Riker growls before pulling me off of Ellington.

"Ellington!" I shriek while Riker carries me away. Ell tries to get up, but the rest of my brothers just push him back down on the couch.

"Riker, put me down!" I demand.

"Rydel, relax! I just need to talk to you" Riker snaps as he carries me into my room. He sets me down on my bed and I immediately struggle off of it.

"What do you have to say? That you're tearing me away from the love of my life?" I shout.

"Rydel, I'm sorry but this is the way it's going to have to be for now" Riker sighs.

"But I love him!" I exclaim.

"I know you do. Once R5 winds down you can be together, but we're just getting famous now! You don't want a break up or a pregnancy to tear the band apart do you?" Riker questions.

"The only thing that's gonna tear this band apart is you not allowing Ellington and I to be together!" I insist.

"It's not like you're never going to be able to see each other! You can see each other any time! Just no romantic gestures" Riker states.

"Fine!" I grunt.

"I'm sorry Rydel" Riker frowns.

"I don't care, just take me back downstairs!" I demand. Riker obediently picks me up and carries me down the stairs into a room full of my brothers.

"Where is Ellington?" Is the first thing I ask.

"He decided to take a walk so he could think" Ryland answers. I stare at him horrified, my heart pounding at the thought that they could be lying and could have done something horrible to him.

"What? I promise we didn't hurt him!" Ryland exclaims defensively.

"Well if Ellington isn't here, take me back upstairs" I order to Riker. He lets out an annoyed groan before carrying me back upstairs and placing me on my bed. I get under the blankets and stare at the ceiling which is blank and boring, just like my life without Ellington. Why can't my ankle heal sooner?

"Delly?" Mom coos as she peeks her head through the door.

"What do you want?" I snap.

"I just came to tell you that you're going over to Taylor's for dinner tomorrow night" she informs me.

"Mom, I'm twenty years old. I can make my own plans" I growl.

"I know, but you're still going to Taylor's for dinner tomorrow night" she sighs.

"I don't want to though" I yell.

"Well that's just a part of life, sweetie" she soothes.

"Get out of my room!" I yell. Mom slowly closes the door behind her and I drift off to sleep.

I wake up a few hours later, coated in cold sweat and shaking in fear from a nightmare I had. I try as hard as I possibly can, but I can't remember it! I hear a tap on my window and begin shaking. My room is on the second floor...

I grab my crutches as hobble over to the window to see a shadowy Ellington on the front lawn with a hand full of small rocks. I give him a smile before rushing down the stairs, as fast as I can go on crutches. When I get outside, I toss my crutches to the ground and jump into Ellington's arms. I press my lips against his and he spins me around as I smile into the kiss. He sits me down on the grass before sitting down next to me himself.

I stare at his adorable face, and I can barely see that the skin around his eye is darker than the rest of his face. I gently touch it and he flinches a little bit.

"Ell, what happened?" I whisper nervously.

"Ah, nothing" he smiles. "I just...um...crashed into a pole."

"Did my brothers do that to you?" I gasp in disbelief.

"No no, of course not. I was just mugged" he blushes.

"Why didn't you start with that?" I ask nervously.

"I didn't want to worry you. Plus, I didn't want you to pay attention to my eye since I have something important for you" he sighs.

"What happened? Did they take anything from you? I'll go get some makeup to cover that up for you" I urge, ignoring his last statement. I rush into the house and grab some cover up before returning and gently dabbing it onto Ellington's eye.

"Delly, I'm fine" he laughs as I finish up the makeup.

"Now, for what I really wanted to tell you. I got you a gift" he announces.

"Aw" I smirk before giving him a quick kiss. "What is it?"

"It's something" he smiles. "If you answer this question correctly you can have it." Ell reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little box. He opens it and presents it to me and I let out a gasp.

"Rydel, will you marry me?"
