Falling Backwards

Truth

ALYSON'S POV

Rydel was helping me unpack things in the new house. "Wait," I said to her. "Ross still isn't really talking to you guys? You have that festival tour in like a week. How are you supposed to be a band when he hates y'all?" "I don't know. He's doing better, he's just really disappointed in us, he says. But enough about me now. What are you going to do while we're gone?"

I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know for sure, but I know a couple of my brothers are gonna come stay with me. Grayson and Paige are house hunting so they're gonna stay while you guys are away. They have to get out of the hotel at some point." She nodded, "that's good, and how are youuuu?" She cooed, looking at my belly.

"We're good! It's so precious. She's moving all the time, but I am starting to get tired a lot. We're gonna buy some more nursery stuff when you all get back in a week." I smiled, "At some point my baby shower is gonna happen." "Yes it is!!" Rydel screamed and clapped excitedly. "It's gonna be so much fun."

Rocky came in carrying a box with Ellington. "Babe, crib." I smiled, "Upstairs second room on the right." He winked and walked up with Ratliff, who blew a kiss and Rydel smiled happily, even though some of the family wasn't very happy, I knew Rydel and Ellington were.

"Last box done!" Rocky said, throwing himself down next to me. He put his arm around me. "Yay!" I kissed his cheek, "My big strong man," I smiled into his shoulder.

Rydel and Ell had gone back to our old apartment where Riker was going to live. Unlike the other brothers, Riker loved the whole Rydellington thing. He asked the two of them to move into the apartment and they happily obliged.

Rydel wanted to get out of the house. Ross and Ryland hadn't taken the news too well, and weren't very supportive of the relationship. It was good for Rydel and Ellington to live with Riker also. They weren't alone, but they weren't in a huge house with a bunch of people. Rocky and I discussed the situation a lot, but there wasn't really anything we could do to change the way things happened.

I leaned my head down on Rocky's shoulder and sighed, "I love you," he kissed my forehead, "I love you more," he smiled. He turned on the tv and started watching a football game. I sat quietly reading a magazine. It was so nice to have a house all to ourselves for right now. It was just us and the furniture. "Rocky," I said to him, closing my magazine. "Hm?" He said, not taking his eyes off of the tv screen.

"We're alone." I whispered into his ear. His body stiffened, "Yeah," he smiled down at me, "We are." He leaned over to me and kissed me roughly on the lips. I got up, helping him toss his shirt to the side and climbing on top of him as he kissed down my neck and laughed lightly. "Damn guys, get a room!" Ross came in through the garage. "Ross what the hell man? This is our house get out!"

"Well I came over to see the finished product, I don't expect to see you two going at it on the couch." I sighed, handing Rocky his shirt, I guess we'd have to get used to being interrupted. "What do you want Ross?" I said, annoyed. I loved Ross, but he was being unfair to Rydel and Ell, and now he's walked into our home unannounced. "Well," he said slowly. "Mom and Dad think it's time that I move out of the house."

Rocky shook his head, "No, no, absolutely no. We just got this house to ourselves. I can't fucking deal with a child such as your self here," Ross sat down, looking hurt. He looked at me, "I didn't necessarily ask to move in! Alyson, please?" I shook my head, "I think it's something we have to discuss together, later," I squeezed Rocky's thigh and he looked to me seriously, "Ross, you need to be responsible, not living off of me"

Ross nodded, "I know, I mean, I'm on Austin and Ally, we have the Band, I can pay rent for y'all. I'll have my own room and you'll never know I'm here except for meals. I promise not to bring too many girls here." I looked at Rocky, whose face stood firm at no. "We'll talk it over, Ross,"

Rocky stood up, "If you even want us to consider this, tell me something, Why are you being so damn hard on Rydel and Ellington?" Ross gave him dagger eyes, "It's not what's best for the band," he said quietly. "Is that really what it's about? Or is this a personal thing, Ross. I love you man, but you and Ryland are being ridiculous. We have shows starting in a week and you need to get your shit together."

Ross spoke through gritted teeth, "Im doing what I think is best. It's immature and I'm not in the mood." "No no." Rocky continued, "Really, what's the issue here? If you want to live here I don't want tension. Anywhere." Rocky sat back down next to me and put his arm around me, "Because I don't want what happened to you guys to happen to them!"

Rocky looked dumbfounded, "Well then, the truth comes out." "Well excuse me for having an opinion." I looked at Ross, "Ross!" I said sternly. "What? You guys were careful and now look! You're moving so fast Alyson and you two know it. I don't want them to have to do what you two are doing. It's scary. I don't want to see Alyson walk out of our lives and I don't want Rocky to be without you!" Rocky sighed, "Ross, you're worried they'll be like us? You're worried the band will go away because of this baby and you don't want anymore risks." Ross looked at the ground, "Maybe,"

Rocky looked at me, "I can't believe this," I leaned into his shoulder, "Rocky, he has a point. This baby is going to change things." "But how will this effect him? So what if we do a few less tour dates. I want to be with you and her and he has his tv show and his fame outside of us." "I still care about you guys." Ross mumbled, "I'm not entirely selfish." He stood up, " Please consider letting me live here. I need some freedom at least. Mom and Dad are going to drive me mad." I nodded, getting up "Bye Ross, love you." He hugged me, "Love you too Al. Bye Rock." He waved to Rocky and walked out.

"Don't you think you're being a little hard on him?" I snapped around. "Maybe, but he still has no reason to treat them that way-" "Rocky, I meant with moving in with us. Maybe he could be a help with the baby." Rocky sighed, "I don't know how much help my 18 year old brother would be." "He's still one of my best friends Rocky. He was there when you weren't," I muttered. "I'm sorry," he said kissing my cheek. "I'm so so sorry,"

He turned to me and I smiled. "I already forgave you," I said. "But I am sorry," he grazed his lips closer to me. "Oh just kiss me," I moaned and he got up. "Your wish is my command," then he kissed my lips.
