After filming Riker and I stopped by a pizza place and picked up a bunch of pizzas. On the way home we stopped a few times to put up posters for the concert, Riker almost got mauled. But don't worry I pulled him back into the car and locked the door before they could get him. "Thanks." Riker breathed as we drive away from the mob of girls.
I shrugged, Riker seemed disappointed that I still wasn't going to talk to him. I have to keep it this way, I have too.
The next day was crazy trying to get ready for the concert. I stayed out of the way (which I usually was) Unless asked to help with something. I helped out packing the instruments into the vans (plural since we had rented more for transport).
Since I was..To be honest bored of driving, I had Riker drive us to the venue. Riker and I didn't speak much but I could feel his gaze on me the entire time. We arrived at the venue and I could see the fangirls beginning to line up at the entrance, we unloaded and carried the stuff in and through the back of the building.
After carrying in the mics (which was all I could really carry anyways, don't look at me like that! That stuff is heavy!) I went and helped out ry with the merch booth. "You know you've messed up my brother." He said as he took the necklace and bracelet display from the box. I opened my mouth to ask which one but ry cut me off.
"Don't go asking which one, I mean.. Look at him!" Ry said, turning towards the stage. Riker had been tuning the same string on a guitar, he wasn't looking at it though since he was looking over at us with a glazed sad expression. He didn't even notice it wasn't the right cord or his instrument. Ross snatched back his guitar and mumbled as he began to correctly tune it. Riker shook his head and went over to his bass to tune it.
"Well it's not MY fault! He sabotaged your bus so he could stay here with me! He made me the reason you guys disappointed thousands of fans! I have full right to be mad!" I semi shouted at Ryland. "I know I know but... Just go talk to him, okay?" He asked, Ryland sent me a puppy dog pout and i couldn't help but say yes.
After we set up the merch booth i went towards the stage, i was intercepted by Rydel for outfit advice before i got to it. Every time i tried to talk to Riker someone or something popped up and i couldn't! Finally a split second before they went on I went back stage and snagged Riker.
"Tell me, the full and utmost truth about why you stayed. And don't give me the 'cause I like you' garbage. It won't work, I can tell it was a lie." I said to him, crossing my arms over my chest. Riker sighed, he reached out and unfolded my hands and arms with a gentle touch.
"Well if you want the truth I can't give you anything different then what I've already said. It wasn't garbage, or a lie. But it has changed yes. I don't like you Emily. I love you." He said, his beautiful hazel eyes boring I to mine. "Riker.." Before I could finish my thought my body had moved first. I was running away from him. I do that you see, I run from problems I'm not ready for. I ran but I only made it to the back of the center of the building. The room was packed and everyone was ready to play.
Riker came running on stage and to his siblings, whispering to them before taking his mic. Stay with me, began to play and since it was my favorite song I thought I'd stay.
They sang the first lines before it came to my favorite part.
"Tell me, have you moved on?
Am I just a sad song
Playing every night and day?" The crowd began to shift, making an aisle form from me to the stage, Riker hopped off the stage and walked towards me.
"Say, can you read between the lines I'm singing?
Threw away the only chance I had with you
Maybe you'll always be the one I, missing
All I got left are the words that you said." He reached me.
"Emily, I know you've been mad at me for a while, I had good intentions for my actions I did. But you're right, I was stupid and selfish. You're my costar, my fan, my friend. I love you, will you be my girlfriend? Please?" He asked, pulling a white Rose from his pocket. The entire building was silent, no one breathed until I gave my response.
"Riker.. I..
