QueenOfRylandiaHOPE U LOVE IT! hayli's POV i have known ellington since the first grade when we were partners for an art project. he wanted to paint a drum set, but i wanted to paint a sun flower. surprisingly, all of our arguing brought us closer together and we ended up combining the two. after we turned our project in, we were very happy with the idea we came up with and began to grow inseparable. 10 years later, i am 16 and he is 17. i haven't seen my best friend in a whole year because he has been touring with his new band, r5. i have met them all numerous times and they are extremely nice people, but i get glares and mean expressions from rydel and i really wish i knew why. i wanted the people who ellington was going to spend most of his time with to like his best friend. (DISCLAIMER: NO HATE I LOVE RYDEL!) r5 was coming home from tour tomorrow and that meant that i would get to see ell in person again. i was so excited. we had a full day planned on what to do after he got back. __________________ todays the day. the day my brown haired, bestest friend would come home. finally. i changed into my outfit for the day, keeping everything casual because we were going to be doing a lot of driving and walking.

his tour bus pulled up to the lot and i was beyond thrilled. i basically had to stop myself from jumping up and down with excitement. i watched as ross, rocky, riker, and rydel stepped out. then i saw erat. "ERAT!" i screeched, running over to him and uncontrollably hugging him. my legs were wrapped around his waist and he laughed. "i missed you soooo much hayli." i smiled, glad to know that he missed me just as much as i missed him. as he put me down, i saw rydel snicker out of the corner of her eye. "are you ready for our day o' fun?" ell said, raising up his eyebrows and nudging me in the shoulder. "duh!" i practicaly screamed in his ear. right about when we were going to leave, rydel stopped us.
"ell? aren't you tired? do you want me to drive you home so you can rest?" i looked at her funny. this was my day with my best friend and i knew now that she was trying to ruin it. "no delly, i'm okay. i'll see you later." she rolled her eyes and kept following us, making comments on how ellington shouldn't be hanging out with me. as we drove away, i couldn't help but bring up rydel's actions.
"what was that all about?" i chuckled softly. "i'm not really sure to be honest." he replied, tapping on the steering wheel.
he was lying. i knew he was. i could tell.
" don't lie to me erat!" i said pushing his arm a little and extending my vowels. "i'm not." "you are." "how would you know?" he asks, looking at me. "cmon' ell! we've been best pals since the first grade. i can just tell!" "pals?" he laughed and it made me laugh too. "stop trying to change the subject. i really want rydel to like me and i have no idea why she doesn't." "you really don't know?" he said. "not a damn clue, ell." "well," he bagan. "while we were on tour i may or may not have led rydel on a little bit, but! i didn't mean too." he said nervously. "but why would she hate me for that?" i questioned. "damnit hayli! because all i do is talk about you and say how much i miss you all the time." "oh." was all i could say. he looked at me sympathetically. "i'm sorry for yelling." "can you just take me home ell?" he nodded and no other words were spoken until he stopped in my driveway. before i shut the door, i just had to ask, "is it all my fault?" "is what all your fault?" "that rydel hates me and that you won't date her?" "of coarse not." "then whats stopping you?" he took a deep breath and broke our eye contact. "you." he said and i got back in the car. "ellington? what do you mean? you can't let me stop you from having the girl you like!" "i don't like her like i like you though." he siged and i was very confused. but then, it all snapped into place. ell likes me. like, like me likes me. "hey." i said, for him to face me. "i like you too." out of the blue, ell kissed me passionately. it was one of the best kisses i had ever had. scratch that. the best kiss i had ever had. we pulled apart due to an incoming call from rydel. "shit hayli. i'm sorry." "don't worry bout it." i bit my lip and smiled. "should i answer it?" he asked. "i guess so." he put the phone on speaker. phone call- r- rydel e- ellington
r- hey can we talk? e- i'm kind of busy with hayli. r- ew why are you always talking about her? shes such a bitch. e- what? why would you say something like that? you know she's my closest and best friend? r- yeah maybe too close ell! e- you don't own me. we kissed twice! r- but i love you. e- you don't know what love is. r- you know what? i am done! choose. hayli or me. e- hayli. ___________ i have to admit. when he said he kissed her twice, i felt hurt but he kind of made up for it when he chose me with no hesitation. "thanks ell." i smiled. "but, can you do me a favor?" "anything." "can we even out that kissing score?" he didn't dare to say another word. a/n- i really hope you liked it!! sorry if its not how you wanted it!! 💞
