Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Ellington

Rydel has been at the mall all day. Rocky is on the phone with Alexa again. Ross is sitting next to me poking me. Riker won't come out of his room for god knows why. And Ryland is on a date with Savannah so Brandon is on the other side of me poking my other shoulder.

"Would you please stop?" I said.

"No thanks!" Brandon said. I sighed and they continued to annoy me. Riker walked into the living room.

"Hey there you are!" I said. I looked at me and glared. "I'm sorry did you get replaced with Grumpy one of the seven dwarfs?" I laughed at my comment.

"Shut it OK!" Riker walked into the kitchen. I heard soft sobs in there.

“Maybe one of us should go talk to him?” I said. Both the boys got up and walked away to Ross’s room to play video games. I sighed. “I was thinking maybe the other brother!” I yelled to Ross. I got up and walked into the kitchen. Riker was leaned up against the counter drinking coffee. I walked up behind him.

“Ellington why are you bothering me?” Riker asked.

“First of all you don’t need to be rude because I just want to know what’s up. That’s it.” I said. Riker turned towards me.

“Lily cheated on me. I saw her in the park with another guy. He kissed her. I punched him. He called the police on me and I have to do 5 hours of community service.” Riker said. He got angrier by the second.

“Riker you know that it’s a bad idea to punch someone for no reason.” I said.

“There was a reason. Lily.” Riker started to tear up.

“Are you sure? Like sure she wasn’t dating him before she started dating you?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Ok Riker. I’m sorry.”

“Thanks. I think it’s time to move on.” Riker said. With that he walked away.

I walked back into the living room. Rocky was still on the phone with Alexa. She left on tour about 2 weeks ago and they talk none stop.

I checked my phone and there was 3 texts from Rydel.

~Texts~

Rydel: Hey

Rydel: Hello?”

Rydel: We need to talk.

Ellington: Hey! Is everything ok?

Rydel: Some guy came up to me at the mall.

Ellington: And?

Rydel: He asked who I was. And of course I didn’t say to much. He left me alone but a little bit later he came back and he started following me. So I left. But then he followed me home. So I drove into a different parking lot. He’s gone but I don’t want to leave by myself. Can you come get me at the target parking lot?

Ellington: I’m on my way sweetie. Hang in there.

~End of texts~

“Hey Riker! We are going to get Rydel!” I yelled to him. I heard someone fall over. Riker came running in.

“Where? Is she ok?” Riker asked.

“She is fine. Just a little scared. She is in the target parking lot.” I said.

Riker walked up to the door and ran out. When I got outside he was sitting in the car waiting for me. I started laughing when I saw him. He started waving his hands telling me to get in the car. I got in the car.

“Finally! Do you always take this long?” Riker asked.

“No. I had to grab something.” I said.

“Like?”

“My phone.” I started the car and drove off.

The car ride was awkward. Riker was playing with his fingers.

“Lily was a good person you know.” Riker said.

“I know. She just made a mistake.” I said.

“I know. Every 5 minutes I look at my phone to see if she texted. She never has. I feel like an idiot. I didn’t give her a chance to explain.” Riker started crying.

“Hey don’t cry ok.” I said.

“There is Rydel’s car.” Riker said.

“That’s weird it’s at the side of the road. She said she was at target.” I said. I pulled over by her car and got out.

We both walked over to her car. Her phone was on the ground. Everything that was in her purse was scattered around the car. Her window was broken and the locks were jammed. I looked back at Riker.

“Where’s Rydel?” I said.

“I have no idea.” Riker said. I heard quiet crying in the bushes next to the road.

“Over there.” I said.

Riker and I walked into the bushes and trees. I looked around and hidden in a dark corner I saw a pink scarf. I walked towards is and the sobs got louder. I pushed the bush out of the way and there she was. Her head had cuts all over it. She was rocking back and forth.

“Riker over here! Rydel are you ok?” I asked.

“H-He hurt m-me E-Ell. H-Help me.” Rydel said. I pulled her into my arms as she cried.
