My Half Brother - A Ross Lynch/R5 Fanfic

Chapter 30 - Sometimes, You Just Have To Keep Your Mouth Shut

Chapter 30

Ashley-

"You didn't answer my question," I repeat to Rocky as he stays silent.

"I really don't know," he whispers. "I should've just kept my feelings alone."

I sigh, running a hand through my hair. How am I supposed to deal with this? I love Ross with all my heart, and Rocky just totally put his heart out on the line for me, and now I'm stuck in the middle.

"Um," I start. "Can Ross and I have a minute alone?"

Rocky nods, walking out of the dressing room, closing the door softly. I turn to Ross, to see his stressed expression.

"What am I supposed to do?" I say softly, making him wrap me in a hug. "Talk to him." He says, kissing my hair, making me nod, and he walks out, and Rocky comes back in, staring at me.

"Rock," I start with his nickname. "I'm really sorry I don't feel the same way, but I really hope we can still have a bro-sis relationship." I look up at him, and he nods sadly.

"Yeah, okay," he smiles a tight-lipped smile. "I shouldn't have done anything." I sigh. "No, don't say that. You... I guess should've just talked to me about your feelings and I could've helped you through it."

"Thanks Ash," he says after a silence, wrapping his arms around me in a hug. We pull away just as Ross comes back in with Carter and Annabelle. "See you guys on the bus." Rocky walks out.

"How'd it go?" Ross asks, standing in front of me, Annabelle in between us in his arms. "Good, I guess. But I think he's still a little shaken, y'know?"

He nods. "Mmhmm. But you're mine, and only mine." His eyes meet mine, and I chuckle. "I'm all yours. Let's head back to the bus."

"That wasn't even a good joke!" I laugh, as Ellington chuckles. "I have one for you," Ross whispers in my ear.

I turn to him. "And what's that?" He smirks. "It's more of a pick-up line but-"

"Oh, just get on with it!" I laugh, making him chuckle, but his smirk stays engraved on his lips. "Okay okay," he pauses. "If you were an orphanage, I'd give you kids."

I fake a gasp, and he chuckles again. "You naughty boy! But I like." I whisper, trailing my hand up and down his thigh, making him take in a sharp breath. "Stop. Stop, Ash."

"Why?" I purr in his ear. I know full well why. He takes a deep breath. "Ash," he says in a warning tone. "I can't do anything in the front of the kids, and you know that."

I giggle, walking out of the lounge, and I hear him mumble something under his breath, and I sit in the front lounge next to Rydel.

"Hey," Rydel smiles. "Where's Ross?" I giggle again. "He's in the back. I was teasing him."

She laughs. "Oh I see. We better put the kids down, then head to bed."

I nod, standing with her, putting the kids down.

"This isn't fair," Ross whispers. "You're a meanie. You teased me and now I can't do anything about it."

I giggle. "Goodnight, Ross."

"Night, babe."
