Rydel's P.O.V.

Now that I've agreed to do the publicity stunt thingy, I'm more worried about what Ratliff's gonna say than about the fans thing... I'm literally frightened. What if he laughs at the idea and declines? Or worse, what if he agrees? I must be sounding ridiculous right now. But I have no idea what to do.

I plopped down on my bed, grabbing my pillows. That's something I always do when I'm sad/upset/angry/confused. Basically, when I'm not happy.

I have no idea what to do. A fan once tweeted me 'Have you ever had a crush on Ratliff?' and i tweeted back saying 'I've had a crush on him when we first met, but now he's just a brother!', but lately I've been feeling... feelings. I don't know, I just get this tingly feeling whenever I see Ratliff and I don't know how I feel about that. Oh wait, I do. BAD. I shouldn't be developing feelings for a person that's like one of the brothers. It feels so wrong. I don't even know what to do. I feel like everything I do can be very wrong and have bad consequences, like ruining our friendship forever. We're best friends and things can get very awkward. I don't want that to happen. So I'm not sure what to do. Should I tell him we need to talk and tell him about the publicity stunt thingy? Or should I crawl in my bed, don't go out for days and tell Riker to talk to him about it? I'm feeling conflicted. Very conflicted. You know what? I should just tell Ratliff we need to talk, tell him all about the publicity stunt and explain to him that I won't let it make things between us awkward, and that it's all gonna be okay. Ok, I'm gonna go for it.

I walk out of my room and go down the stairs.

"Riker?" I shout. "Do you know where Ratliff is? I really need to talk to him about it."

"Talk to me about what?" Ratliff suddenly appears from the kitchen with a concerned look on his face. 

Shit. Maybe I didn't think this through...

Author's Note:

So, two chapters in one night. Not bad, huh? :P This is just one little way to tell me how sorry I am for not updating for so long. I also want to thank you all for over 200 reads on the first chapter only! :D Thank you all so much for your support. This chapter is another filler actually, the next chapter is the main thing. x) I think I'll be able to update tomorrow, or the day after. I'll try my best. :)
