Ellington's POV
"Mom, Mom! Listen!...Yes I know but...That's ok...Yes, yes I'll be there...Love you too, bye." I ended the call and put my phone in my pocket. I shuffled my chair back around the round table we were sitting at.
"What was that about?" Rocky asked.
"My mom wants to go to dinner with me, but she's stuck in traffic. She hates being late."
"Mama Rat's coming to town!" Ross jumped in. I rolled my eyes and mimicked his excitement.
"Are you gonna bring Rydel?" Riker asked. I spun my head around to look at him. He hadn't spoken to any of us all day, so naturally, I was kind of shocked.
"I don't think so." I replied. "We're kind of...over."
"You're not seriously giving up that easy, are you?" Riker looked me dead in the eyes. Rocky and Ross didn't say a word.
"I, um-" I started.
"Let me tell you something about my sister, sometimes she gets overwhelmed and does stupid things, don't let her go yet." Riker half smiled.
"I'm sorry, about all of it, seriously Riker I wanted to-" I tried to apologize, but he stopped me.
"Don't, it's forgotten. I'm just sorry you felt like you had to hide it from me."
"Never again." I promised.
