Ross P.O.V
I sat out back on our chairs with Ryland. Good thing its rarely cold in L.A. "I just dont understand." Ryland said as he put his head in his hands. "I know." I said with no emotion. I want to cry, but I can't. Im totally mentally frozen.
Ashley walked outside and slowly closed the sliding door. She sat next to Ryland. "Hey.." She began. "Hey? Hey?!" Ryland yelled. "Your marrying my brother and all you can say is 'Hey'!" He was screaming really loud now. "Calm down." I snapped at Ryland. "No. This is stupid. Your too young and. And..." He looked at the ground. Ashley walked up to him and cupped his face. "We are just planning for the future. It's years away." She tried to soothe him. "Yeah but then ill actually have to see you every day with another guy, slowly ripping my heart out." Ashley let go of Ryland's face and he began walking out of the yard. "Maybe thats what you want. To slowly kill the people that love you." He was halfway out the door and never looked back.
Ashley stood where she was and began to cry. Why should I comfort her? I dont care.
I looked up and felt a pang of guilt and walked up to her. "Hey. Shh. Dont worry about him. He'll be back." I hugged her. She released herself and wiped her dripping makeup. "Im sorry, I just didn't expect things to go this way." She paused. "Can I talk to you without a dramatic exit?" She asked. "Yeah, only if I can get one last dance with you."
Ashley P.O.V
We were dancing for a while before I decided to start the conversation. " We are the only people who can slow dance to the sound of cars." I laughed. Nothing. "So h-." I tried again when Ross interrupted me. "Can we just talk seriously right now. So I can get over the pain earlier." "Im not gonna talk to you if your gonna be a sassy pants. Your supposed to be my teen idol." I finally got him to smirk. I took a deep breath and began my 'speech'. "I know this whole riker marriage thing is kinda forced and I'd be so jealous if you got engaged to some other girl but I'm just not good to you. You deserve so much better." I looked down as we continued to dance. "But I dont want better." "But I want you to have better." "Ashley!" He let go of me and stared me in the eye. "Why wont you listen to me? I don't care what's good for me. I
Just. Want. You. These feelings will never leave. You see how it didn't work with Amy. I have my heart made up on you." He turned around and punched the wall to the shed.
"I knew I wouldn't be able to talk to you." I sighed, expecting him to reject. He walked up to me. "Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore. It'll be disgusting if I'm in love with my sister-in-law.. I think we need our distance." "What?" My eyes began to water. "I need to find Ryland." He said, not making eye contact. He ran out the back yard as I ran in the house. "Riker!" I yelled. I couldn't stop crying. "Well you know how they feel." I heard Stormie say through the phone as I walked through the kitchen. "Well if I knew this was gonna happen, I wouldn't have planned to move back next to everyone." I could hear my mom say through the phone. I paused. "It was planned to move back next to you guys?" I asked as Stormie flinched and looked behind her self to see me. "Uhh honey I didn't see you there uh." She stared at her phone. "Babe?" Riker ran downstairs. "Did you yell for me?"
*later that night*
Its about 10 o' clock now. When Riker came downstairs earlier, Stormie forced us to go in the living room and yelled for the gang to come downstairs too. What is she hiding? I needed to find out.
Ross and Ryland walked through the door as we were watching a scary movie. "Ahh!" We all screamed and Ratliff through his popcorn up. "Relax guys its just us." Ross laughed. "Well now I need to get more popcorn!" Ellington snapped his fingers and we all laughed. "Hey , me and Ross made a new song. Wanna go downstairs and hear it?" Ryland asked. "Sure." Riker said suspiciously.
We all walked downstairs. I know that they we working on an EP, but they never write songs with out the whole group together. They went into the booth down stairs and Ross sang while Ryland played the key board.
"Got my heart made up on you
Oooh, oooh, oooh
You said what you said
When words are knives it's hard not to forget
But something in my head wouldn't reset
Can't give up on us yet
No, whoa
Your love was so real
It pulled me in just like a magnetic field
I'd let you go but something's taking the wheel
Yeah, it's taking the wheel
Oh, whoa
My mind says, no you're no good for me
You're no good but my heart's made up on you
My body can't take what you give to me
What you give, got my heart made up on you
Got my heart made up on you"
Everyone turned to me as Ross continued singing. The song was about me. How am I supposed to react? Riker tightened his grip on me again, his face red. "Im sure its about Amy." I assured Riker. "What did you say to him when you when out side?" Riker almost growled. "I said that he deserves better because im no good for him and needs to get over me and that I cant trust him anymore and he said his heart made up on me and yeah.."
Riker looked me in the eye. "Heart made up on you is the name of the song." I turned away from Riker and looked into the booth to see Ross glaring at me as he strummed the guitar.
And I got a sick feeling in my stomach, because I knew I want that song to be about me.
(A/N: I wanted to name this chapter one last dance but i already had a chapter with that name. Just to explain the reference. And the song lyrics are from 'Heart Made Up On You' by R5. I take no credit for that song and I have no idea whom it was really written about.)
