Tough Love: A Rydellington love story

Chapter 5

RYDEL'S POV

I woke up and Ratliff wasn't beside me, i didn't panic or anything because i knew he is okay. I quickly took the time to write in my journal.

***Journal***

So it has been awhile since i wrote but i am here to catch you up so.... Ratliff and Kelly broke up. We have done a few interviews and of course they have been talking about Rydellington now that Kellington is over. I don't mind but the guys sometimes do, expecially Riker. Every time they ask Riker and Ross are the first to say no and Rocky just goes with the flow because I know he is a huge Rydellington shipper. I never put in a comment, but every time Ratliff says something he looks at me i guess to see how i react. On the way back home from an interview i fell asleep on Ratliff's shoulder and had a bad dream basically Kelly held a gun to Ratliff's head and tries to shoot him but before the bullet it his head. I guess I started crying or something b/c Ratliff woke me up and calmed me down and kissed me forehead and then he spent the night and slept with me.

I told him i loved him and he said he loved me then he kissed my forehead again and we fell asleep, but I also think he meant i love you as a friend thing b/c he would never like me. and plus he never asked me out, So i acting like nothing happened, which i hope is the right thing to do. I just don't want to date then us break up and it ruin the best friendship i ever have had and even worse mess up the band. Well i got to go bye!!

I quickly slipped it under my pillow and ran down stairs. Everyone but Ell was sitting around the table.

"Where is Ell?" I asked

"His mom called him home." My mom answered.

That's strange, he has been to our house thousands of times but his mom has NEVER called him home. Something is wrong.

"Is he okay?" I asked her

"Yes he is fine." She answered.

I knew she was lieing. I ran up stairs to grab my phone, i checked my messages no new ones. That's strange. I decided to text him

**Conversation***

R: Hey! Where are you?

E: Hey. I am sorry i didn't tell you i left. My mom called me home.

R: Its fine! Is everything ok?

"MOM I NEED YOUR HELP!!" I yell

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She says panting

"Are you serious?? I thought something happened!" She says sounding relieved

"And yes i will help you!"
