Falling Backwards

There's more to discover

Month: Mid-June

The alarm beeped loudly, "Ughhhh." Rocky rolled over and hit the button hard. "We're awake..." He whined. "Babe?" He rolled back over, feeling her side of the bed. "Alyson?" "ALYSON?!" He jumped up. "Rydel, Riker?" He yelled, questioning the darkness in the room. "Guys?" He got up and walked to their door. Rydel was fast asleep next to Riker, also fast asleep.

"Rike! Where's Alyson?" Riker stirred, "Whaaa?" He sat up a little, "Is it time to get up?" He yawned and put his glasses on. "Yeah. It is. Where's Alyson?" Rydel rubbed her eyes, "I don't know... When did you last see her?" She asked, sitting up and putting on her slippers. "I don't know, we went to sleep?"He frowned. "I'm gonna go to Mom and Dad's room..." He stood up.

They were in Charlotte, North Carolina for their second to last show of the US east coast tour. The hotel was paid for by a news station there, otherwise they would have stayed in the bus.

He knocked on his parent's door and got a small, "Who is it?" Rocky leaned to the door, "Mom, it's me, Rocky." She opened the door, "Shh..." She mouthed to him, "Alyson's asleep." He walked over to her. She sat there fast asleep. "Where's Dad? What happened?"

She motioned for him to come outside with her. "Alyson started feeling sick about an hour ago and knew you needed your sleep so she came here. Dad's in Ross' room sleeping." Rocky ran his fingers through his hair, "It worried me mom. You could have at least texted me!" She nodded, "I did." He checked his pajama pockets, Stormie spoke, "Seeing as you didn't even have time to put on a shirt, I'm sure you didn't check your phone."

He nodded, "Yeah... Can I at least kiss her good morning? Is she okay?" Stormie nodded, "Yes. She got up like usual she said, she walked down stairs to use the treadmill and be up to fix your breakfast but she felt bad after running for a bit and figured she ate something weird." He frowned, "But we ate the same thing?" She shook her head, "Maybe it's just the lack of sleep and everything catching up? I don't know Rocky."

They went back inside, "I thought I heard you..." Alyson was up, lying on the bed. "Hey babe... How are you doing?" She smiled a little, "I'm just fine now. I'm sorry I left..." He shook his head and grabbed her hand, "Don't worry about it Cutie. As long as you feel okay?" She nodded. "It's what, 6 am Mom?" "Yep!" "So do you feel up to going to the room and showering?" Alyson nodded, "Yeah that sounds great. Maybe I'll eat a little something."

They said good morning and thanks to Stormie and walked back down the hall, seeing Riker. "Oh you found her, well I'm gonna go get Ryland up, Ross says he won't get outta bed. Ratliff is in our room waiting for you." "Me?" Rocky questioned. "Yeah... Later guys." He walked down to the other room. Alyson and Rocky walked hand in hand to the room, and opened the door. "They just be in the other room." Alyson said, hoping Rocky wouldn't want to investigate. She was sure they were doing something Rocky wouldn't approve of.

They sat on their bed talking. "I'm..." Alyson said to him staring at the floor. "What? You look pale are you okay babe?" She shook her head, "I'm gonna be sick." She got up and ran into the bathroom with Rocky on her tail. "Damn it." She said, flushing the toilet. He held her hair, "I'm so sorry baby..." She smiled, "It's okay... Thank you baby." She got up and brushed her teeth, "I bet it was just the stupid smoothie I had at the hotel bar this morning. I'll be fine." He nodded, "Why don't you go sit at least. I'll go see what's keeping Ratliff and Rydel."

"No wait!" She called to him, grabbing his arm tightly, "I love you," he smiled, kissing her cheek. "I love you too Alyson..." She sat down and pulled him down next to her, "So why don't we wait in here?" He shook his head, "We have to leave soon, I'll be right back." He got up, "But baby!" She said to him, "What?" He said opening the door, "Hey guys, are you, RATLIFF?!" Alyson stood up, "Umm. Rocky... Let's go outside."

"NO. WHAT THE FUCK MAN. THATS MY SISTER." Rydel and Ratliff were plastered to a chair. Rydel got up and went over to Rocky, "Hey man, it's cool.. That wasn't what it looks like I promise!" Rocky was fuming, Alyson was scared, holding him back "Rocky, come on sweetie breathe Baby." He closed his eyes, "It looks like you were fucking making out with Ratliff?" Rydel walked into the big room. Rocky went towards Ratliff, Alyson still had his hand, it was a tighter grip than ever on both sides.

"You! You can't control your urges! You know Rydel has always had a crush on you! You had to go after her?! Do you realize what you've done to us? The other boys, THE BAND?!" Ratliff stayed red. Alyson pulled at him, "Baby, please calm down... They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't think anything would come of it." Rocky turned to her, "Did you know about this?" She stood before him, a good foot shorted than him, still clutching his hand, "Yes..." She looked down. "And you kept something like this from me?! I'm your boyfriend! Your best friend! You kept this huge thing from me. What else would you lie to cover up?"

Alyson looked shocked, "Don't yell at me please, don't get angry with them. They weren't trying to hurt anyone." He let go of her hand, "Why would you find out about this and not tell me? How long have you known?" She stepped back, "A little over a month.." He paced back and forth, "I can't believe this." He walked back and forth again, "I can't believe this. You two." He pointed to Ratliff and Rydel, "You screwed us over!"

Alyson gasped, "Don't say that baby, you need to calm down." He turned to Alyson. "No, you need to go. I don't want to talk to you if you're going to keep secrets from me." She stood against the wall, tears in her eyes. "Fine." She stormed out.

"Wait- Alyson." He said, but the door had shut. "Damn it..." He said. He leaned up against the wall and slid down. "Fuck." Rydel came and sat down next to him. "I, sorry..." She whispered. "I'm the one who started things with Ratliff. I caused this today."

Ratliff came and sat down next to Rydel, "Rocky..." He said, looking at him, he still had his head in his hands. "I fucking screwed up guys... You didn't screw us over what am I thinking." He rested his head on Rydel's shoulder.

"I'm sorry..." He said quietly. Rydel took Ratliff's hand, "It's okay, Rocky." He breathed heavily. "I'm not going to tell anyone." Ratliff looked shocked, "Why, why not?" Rocky shrugged, "Our sound has been better than ever the past few months... I guess I know why. Hah!" He joked, smiling. "I've always thought you guys would be cute, but I guess when it actually happened I couldn't get it. I don't want the band to, you know..." Ratliff and Rydel nodded, "I know Rock..." She said.

"Aw shit." Rocky said, staring at the wall. "I need to go apologize to Alyson. I screwed up so bad." Rydel scoffed, "You got that right." Rocky got up, "Ell? Bros?" He held out his hand, "Yeah..." Ratliff said, shaking his hand and hugging him. "Let's go find Alyson."
