Riker's P.O.V.
The publicity stunt. Let's do it. Rydel's voice had been echoing in my head for the past few minutes. She just agreed to do it! I know, I know, you're all wondering why am I so happy with a simple agreement, but this isn't just any agreement. This little simple agreement can get R5 to the top, baby! I grinned just by thinking about it. The fans thrilled with the news, all over the celebrity gossip magazines, on all gossip websites... R5 will be huge! New fans, more photoshoots, interviews, a new album before we were planning one... Wow.
Rydel's P.O.V.
After I agreed to do the publicity stunt thingy, Riker looked at me and just froze. It's been six minutes since I've told him and he's a human statue! I bet he's thinking about R5 and all the good things that are about to happen to us thanks to the publicity stunt thingy... But, he only thinks about the good things that can happen. Like, he thinks of us getting more popular and bigger, and I think about breaking the fans' hearts when we tell them all about our not so little scam. I can't not be scared about the results of this thing. I'm scared.
"Riker. Hellooo?" I shaked him to wake him up from his daydream. "Earth to Riker, hello?"
"Oh, hi. How long have I been standing here?"
"I stopped counting after the eighth minute."
"Oh. Sorry I zoned out. I was just so shocked and happy at the same time. Rydel, we're gonna be huge!"
"Riker, we are gonna get more media attention, but what about the consequences? What about the fans?"
"What about the fans?"
"Well, we are gonna have to tell them once. I'm not planning on having Ratliff as my 'boyfriend' for my entire life."
"But whyyyy?" Riker said in a rather dramatical tone.
"Riker." I give him a glare. "Dude, when we tell them, lots of crap will happen. I'm just scared."
"Don't be. Nothing bad is going to happen. And if something bad did happen, I'd take the blame for it."
And that didn't make me feel better. Just because this whole thing was Riker's idea, doesn't mean I want him to take the consequences. I mean, all of us are gonna participate in this. Even though a big part of me still doesn't want to. I brush off my thoughts and just thank him.
"Thank you." I hug him. "Thank you so much. For everything." I say in a rather sad tone.
"It's okay. I'm your big brother. Besides hurting the guys who hurt you and constantly mocking you, protecting you is my duty."
I chuckled. Riker always knew what to say.
Author's Note
Hiii. So, so, SO sorry for not updating for so long! :s I started this fanfic when school ended (June) and I haven't even written the second chapter yet. I'm so very sorry. I've been really busy with applications and mentally preparing for the freshman year in high school. And I had something like an admission test for high school, so I've been revising too. This was something like a filler chapter because I had no idea what to write, LOL. Sorry about that. xD Hope you guys can understand that I've had a pretty busy summer. And school starts in two weeks. :( I'll try to update as much as I can, but I can't promise you anything. :/ I can promise you one thing though, you won't have to wait two months for an update! x) I'll try to update more often. 'Till the next chapter...
There's the comment section below. You know what to do. ;) :P
