Brianna's POV

"Hey!" I exclaimed as I walked through the Lynches door. Riker took my bag for me and hugged me.

"Hey," he said and took my bag to the guest room while everyone came in to greet me.

Rydel, Rocky, Ryland, Stormie and Mark hugged me and then Rydel led me to Ross's room.

I walked in the door and Ross was lying in his bed on his phone.

"Hey my princess," He smiled and I walked over to him.

"I missed you," I said and kissed him.

"Too bad it's only a weekend," He said sadly.

"Be positive. At least I'm here," I told him. Ross shuffled over and patted his bed. I lied down next to him and we talked.

"How are you?" I asked.

"Sloppy. My head hurts and I always get headaches. Sometimes I can't walk. I get dizzy. It's a pain," He sighed and pulled me closer.

"I'm sorry. How'd it happen anyway?" I asked. That question had been on my mind for a while.

"Not sure. I remember falling but I don't remember what hit me in the head," Ross told me.

"You'll be okay. If I could stay here I would," I replied.

"How's the job?" Ross asked.

"It's alright," I admitted. It wasn't my favourite job but I could survive it. It was actually kind of fun.

We talked more about everything. I missed him so much. It hadn't even been very long, but being in his arms just felt right, it felt perfect.

"Want a drink?" I asked.

"Sure," Ross answered and I kissed him before making my way to the kitchen. Chris called me.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi," He said, and I could feel him smiling.

"How are you?" I asked.

"Good. What's going on in LA?" He asked.

"Uh.. A family emergency," I said.

"I hope everything's okay," he replied.

"It'll be fine. I'll see you on Monday," I said.

"Okay," He responded. We talked for like 30 seconds and then hung up. I ran back up to Ross.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Someone called me," I said.

"Who?" He never runs out of questions.

"A friend," I told him and we went back to cuddling.

Ally's POV

"Hey Ryland," I said as I opened my door to see a smiling Ryland holding a skateboard.

"Hey," He replied. "Can I come in?"

"Anytime," I said and he entered.

"I just need to escape the drama back home. Riker won't stop stressing, but at least Brianna is there because she calms Ross and Riker down," Ryland explained.

"Huh. Brianna's a life saver then," I laughed.

"So want to go skating?" Ry asked. I nodded and followed him outside, grabbing my Santa Cruz board.

Ryland and I skated together down the street, and when he reached for my hand I didn't resist. So we skated down the street, hand in hand. It was really windy so see both had to squint did to the wind blowing in our faces.

We skated for about 5 minutes until we arrived at a boardwalk.

"A boardwalk?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's not too crowded. Come on," Ryland urged, so I followed him down the boardwalk.

We ended up sitting down on our boards at the very end with ice cream and napkins.

Ice Cream marks were on my face, as per usual when I eat anything. Ryland wiped it for me with a napkin and I laughed.

"Only a month until Mexico," I reminded him.

"I'm so freaking excited," Ryland smiled.

"I'm most excited for the fireworks," I told him.

"Me too, they're always a surprise," He said and giggled as if he was thinking about something.

We sat for a few more minutes until we left. We skated back to my house.

"That was fun, thanks for the getaway," Ryland said.

"No problem. I hope Ross is okay, and keep Riker relaxed," I told him. We said goodbye and then I went back inside.

Ryland's POV

When I got home, Emma and Riker were on the couch cuddling, Eilish and Rocky were in the basement doing stuff on the guitars, Ross and Brianna were in Ross's room and mom and dad were cooking.

"Hey," I said to Riker and Emma.

"Hey," Bri said.

"Are you better?" I asked Riker.

"Sort of," Riker said emotionlessly.

"Why are you so emotional?" I asked. Emma shot me a glare as if to say, 'don't you dare ask that question'.

Riker didn't answer so I walked upstairs.

The next day we decided to get Ross outside. Me, Brianna, Rocky and Ross walked to KFC to get lunch. KFC is love, KFC is life. I think Ross liked the fresh air and he felt good. He didn't need that much help to walk so I think he was getting better. When we entered the store he got a headache.

"Who knew that hitting your heard on a rock could be such a big injury," I said to Rocky because Brianna and Ross were waiting outside while we stood in line.

"Yeah, it's pretty bad," Rocky said and we picked up the food.

I carried it as we walked back while Rocky and Ross talked about football.

When we got home I helped dish up chicken for everyone being the kind youngest sibling I am *ding*.

Ross's POV

Brianna and I were sitting on my bed eating chicken while we talked.

"Who was the friend who called you the other day?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Nobody," Brianna said.

"Tell me," I told her, slapping her arm.

"A guy named Chris. He's the doorman at the hotel I stay at. He's nice," Brianna answered.

"Oh, you mentioned him before. What's his last name?" I questioned.

"Okay, Mr Nosy, too far?"

"Sorry," I apologised and put on a frowny face.

"His last name is Milburn," Brianna smiled.

My face dropped.

Not him. Not Chris Milburn.

"Oh..." I trailed off.

"What?" Bri asked.

"Nothing," I lied. "I've just.. His name sounds familiar. I'm sure it's nothing."

His name wasn't familiar. I hated him since high school. Brianna doesn't know about that because she left before Chris came to the school.

But I have to keep Brianna and Chris away from each other.

A/N

Wow it has been a while and sorry I haven't been uploading but it's okay bc I'll use school as an excuse.

But I swear this whole chapter has been about chicken.
