Home (Rockliff) #2 of broken series.

Chapter Seven

Ellington Lee Ratliff.

We met at the rage. He was the drummer to our band, R5. I ended up liking him, then I broke up with Alexa because of it. I wrote my feelings down on a picture, and I remembered exactly how embarrassed I felt when he read it. But he loved me. Then I told him to forget it, but neither of us did. Then he dated Rydel and I got jealous. She broke up with him, then I tried to help him through the break up but he yelled at me. Rydel caught him cutting and forced us to talk, then she told me that he loved me.

And I kissed him, after asking him to kiss me. Then just now, he killed himself on my account.

I sprung up and looked around the house, where it suddenly felt like I'd always known. I ran to his room and sure enough, there was the picture.

It had tear stains and some drops of blood, but I could still read it. I could feel Riker and Ross behind me, reading it. "Wow. . ." Was all Ross could say.

"Rocky, I didn't know. . ." Riker rubbed my back in sympathy.

I felt sick. I'm so stupid! Why couldn't I have just remembered?!

"I'm so stupid," I muttered. "Why did I even care they didn't like us?" I felt like I was trapped in a sick fanfiction and this fourteen year old girl controlled my life.

But that's not it.

I killed him.

Wow. . . I was so selfish. All I cared about was fame, beer, and sex. That's it. Everything for the past year, five months, and one day.

Where do I even stand? Do I like him? Do I love him? Am I just friends with him? Will he live? Does he ever even want to see me again?

Now I know what girls go through. It sucks soooo badly.

I screwed everything up.

I screwed up a life that I forgot about.

"I'm a monster." I whispered. Neither Riker or Ross objected. "I'm a stupid, selfish, monster."

Riker turned me around and looked deeply into my eyes. "Do you like him?" He asked.

I stared at him helplessly. "I don't know. Even if I did, he probably wouldn't li-"

Riker cut me off. "Shut up. And no, he won't like you, he'll love you. He loves you Rocky. And you love him."

Riker got up and left. Ross was following him like always before I stopped him. "Hey Ross?"

He turned around reluctantly. "What? I can't do relationship adv-"

"No," I cut him off. "Trust me I know that, remember Kaity?" He blushed. I took her on the worst date ever and she threw a spoon at my head.

"Then why?"

I looked at my younger brother. "Can you ask out Alexa?" Ross' eyes widened. "She needs some dependable, who'll watch the notebook with her, and who'd put her before everyone else. I couldn't do that. Please?" I was begging now.

He hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone. "Alexa?" He said into it. I did a little happy dance and Ross stared at me, jaw dropped. "Two things. First, Rocky's definitely fixed. Second, he wants me to ask you out."

Ross paused for a moment before smiling widely. "Alright, see you then!" He kept smiling.

"What'd she say?! What'd she say?!" I bounced up and down like a crazy man on the blondes shoulder.

He laughed. "It's good to have you back bro, and she said yes. I'm meeting her for breakfast tomorrow."

"YES!!" I squealed and did a super happy dance. Ross awkwardly walked away from me, but I was still dancing.

I finally did something right. Finally.
