Chapter 3:
A FEW DAYS AFTER ROSS AND RYDEL TALK!

Ross POV

Riker, Rydel, and I are walking to the grocery store for my mom. She's needs stuff for supper.

Me and Rydel are arguing to see who's going to do the dishes after we eat tonight. It's suppose to be me but me and Riker are going to the movies.

"Please Delly! I'm going to the movies with Rik." I say trying to convince my older sister. "No Ross. I'm sick of always doing your job just so you can hang out with your little stupid crush!" She says angry.

Tears brim my eyes and I look at her then to Riker. His yawn is down to the ground. "Ross I'm sorry I didn't mean it." Rydel says and walks over to me. She puts her arm around me but I push it off. I turn around and run home. I rip the door open the run upstairs to my room. I lock the door once it's closed. I fall on my bed crying my eyes out.

How could she do that to me? She promised me! I hate her so much right now. I'm never talking to her again!

I hear a knock on my door. "G-go a-away." I stutter and cry more. "Ross please open up. I didn't mean it. Please." It was Rydel. She sounded as if she was going to cry. I slowly crawl over to the door to unlock it. She opens the door as soon as she hears the click. She wraps her arms around me as soon as she opens the door. "I'm so sorry Ross. It just slipped. I'm sorry. Please don't hate me." She cries. "I-I don't hate you." "I love you Rossy." "I love you to Delly." I say and kiss her forehead.

"Where did Riker go?" "He's in his room." "He's never going to talk to me again!" I say trying my damnedest not to cry. "Yes he will Ross. I got to go get moms groceries. I'll be back." She says and hugs me one last time then slips out the door.

I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling. Thinking. I get interrupted by a knock on the door. "C-come I-in." I say already knowing its Riker. Everybody else is out.

He slowly walks over to my bed and sits next to me. No where near me. He sits down by my feet on the edge. He looks down not doing anything. "S-so you have a crush on me? Your older brother?" He asks and I look down. "Y-yeah." I say in a whisper but he hears. "Ross I don't know if I feel the same. I don't think I can even look at you the same anymore. You're not just my little brother that I use to hang out with. You're my little brother that's gotta a crush on me. That can't be Ross. That's nasty." He says and my heart breaks at every word that comes out of his mouth. "Then if you can't act the same around me, then don't even talk to me." I say tears overflowing like a river on a rainy day. "I don't need you! I dot need a best friend! I don't need a reason to live!" "Ross-" "No Riker. Just.. Just leave." I stutter crying my eyes out. I feel the bed dip back up and the door soon open then close. I break even more.

Tears roll off my cheeks like there's not tomorrow. I scream things like 'why am I a freak?' 'Why am I not normal? 'Why does everybody hate me?'

I need someone. I need Rydel to cuddle with me. Make me feel better something to get my mind off of him.

I hear the front door open then Rydel's feet coming upstairs. "Rydel?" I ask in my normal voice knowing I can't go any louder due to my yelling. She opens the door, closes it, then locks it. She runs over to me and lays down next to me. "Rydel.." I cry. "Shh what happened." She asks quietly. I try to calm myself and I do a bit.

"He came in and we talked. He said he can't even look at me the same anymore. He said me likely him is nasty and can't happen." I say and start crying again. "Shh." She says and runs my cheek still holding me. "What did you say when he told you that?" "I told him that if he can't look at me the same then to just leave me alone." I explain. "I'm sorry Rossy. I'm sure he will realize he needs you in his life just like you need him in yours." "Okay." "Alright now how about we watch some TV to get your mid of things." She says and I nod my head.
