A/N : I know these one shots are typically involving R5 being sick. But I'm expanding this book to incorporate things like getting hurt and similar topics.
9 - A fall down the stairs
Ryland
Ryland was about to go on tour with R5. He was leaving tomorrow, so he was packing today. You went over to help him.
He was mostly done when you got there. But he needed help bringing some stuff out to the tour bus, which was parked in his driveway at the moment.
The rest of R5 was here too, getting the bus ready for tour.
You helped everyone bring their luggage out to the bus.
You walked back inside to go grab something else when you heard a loud crash.
You run towards the sound, and find Ryland sprawled out at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ry! Are you ok!?"
You kneel down on the floor, helping him sit up.
"Yeah. I'm ok. I just missed the last step, that's all."
Luckily he wasn't carrying anything important or breakable. It was just a suitcase of clothes.
You made sure he was definitely ok, and continued helping him and his family get ready for tour.
Ross
"Ross! We're on in 10 minutes!" Mark yells.
You're at a concert with Ross. R5 is supposed to go on in 10 minutes now. And Ross has been having a very off day. He was all over the place, forgetting stuff.
And right now, he couldn't find his guitar. You had absolutely no idea how he could misplace something like this.
"Wait! I think it's in my car! I'll be right back!"
You go with Ross to go get his guitar. You have to climb a bunch of staircases to get out of the venue.
Thankfully, his guitar is in his car. You carry it for him because he has to button up his shirt.
You guys are literally running back into the venue, trying not to make R5 go on late.
Ross is focused on buttoning his shirt. And when you get to the first set of stairs, he doesn't realize, and goes tumbling all the way down.
"Ross! Are you alright!?"
You go running down after him.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
You're almost sure he's going to have some bruises later, but you figure he's probably got so much adrenaline in his body that he doesn't notice any pain right now.
You get back to the rest of R5, and Ross manages to make it out onstage on time.
Rocky
You're staying over Rocky's house for the night. He wanted to have a movie night, so that's exactly what you're doing.
"Rocky."
"What?"
"I'm getting really cold."
"Ok. Let me just run upstairs and go get some blankets."
You pause the movie you're currently watching. Rocky runs upstairs to his bedroom for some blankets.
You're patiently waiting for him when all of a sudden, you hear weird footsteps and a crash.
"Rocky?"
You don't hear a response. You jump up and run to the stairs. Rocky is laying at the bottom, rubbing his head.
"What happened!? Are you ok?"
"I tripped over the corner of the blanket."
You sit down beside him and hug him.
"You ok?" You ask.
"Yeah, I'm alright," he says, hugging you back.
You both head back to the couch. Rocky spreads the blanket over both of you, and you continue your movie night together.
Ellington
You were on tour with Ellington. He missed you, so you came to one of his shows, and agreed to stay on the bus for a few more shows.
The only downside was that R5 had to get up early most mornings.
"Come on guys! Hurry up! We have to grab breakfast at the diner down the road, and then go to soundcheck!" Riker called.
You'd just gotten dressed. You were ready to go, but you were waiting for Ellington.
He was currently brushing his teeth.
"Ellington! Come on!" Riker called, sounding annoyed.
You walked towards the front of the bus, not wanting to get yelled at by Riker.
You got off the bus, and waited with the rest of R5.
"We're going to leave without you!" Riker yelled.
Ellington came running out. He hadn't tied his shoes, and he ended up tripping and falling down the bus steps, and landing hard on the pavement.
You immediately help him up, and shoot Riker an annoyed look. If he hadn't been nagging your boyfriend to hurry up, he wouldn't have ran and fallen.
But you guys go to breakfast, and R5 ends up having a great show.
Riker
You were over Riker's house, taking care of him. He was sick, so you brought him some cold medicine.
It made him extremely sleepy. But he was adorable when he was sleepy, so you didn't mind.
You kept needing to yell at him to stay in bed because he didn't want to bother you when he needed something. He'd try to get it himself.
A little while ago, he'd managed to spill half a bottle of cold medicine all over you. You knew he felt so bad about it.
He said you could borrow some of his clothes, and you went to take a shower.
You finished your shower quickly because you wanted to keep an eye on your boyfriend. Just as you were walking back to his bedroom, you heard a crash downstairs.
You run down the stairs, worried. Riker is sprawled out at the bottom of the stairs.
"Rik, what happened? I told you to stay in bed."
"I got thirsty..."
You realize he's crying a little bit.
"Does something hurt, Rik?"
"My head."
"Did you bang it?"
"Yeah."
You pull him into a tight hug. His cold medicine makes him sleepy, which makes him emotional. So you understand why he's crying.
You get him a glass of water, and then bring him back upstairs to bed. You wipe away his tears, and cuddle with him to make him feel better.
