If I can't be with you

Shout about it

Ross Point of View

It had been three days since the kiss and Sophie wasn't talking to me at all. I wondered if I got to far with this. But what else was I supposed to do, she didn't want to be with me, so there was no reason to be mad at me. But she was still refusing to talk to me. I didn't know what to do, so the only thing left, I had to ask Rydel, what I could do to get her talk to me again.

"Ross, I think she just needs a little bit time and space. Give this to her and she will be fine and everything between the two of you will be fine. She has some struggles, that she needs to figure out on her own, but you will notice it, when she is ready for you." Rydel said to me.

"So you expect me, to leave it to her and don't do anything to change the situation?" I asked back confused. That was definitely not the advice I expected from my sister. She was the helpless romantic one in our family and now she was telling me to wait?

"What do you know?" I asked next. "And don't tell me, you don't know anything, because I know you and this advice from you, definitely wasn't you."

"Mmhh, Ross, I don't know what you're talking about." she said nervously.

"Are you sure about that or do I have to force you to tell?" I said with a evil smile on my face. She tried to run away from me, but I tackeld her down to the floor and started to tingle her sides.

"Don't Ross, please stop it, please, please!" she screamed laughing.

"Tell me what you know and I will stop."

"I can't tell you, I promised." She laughed so hard, that she had problems to say these few words. I stopped tingling her sides.

"You promised? So, you know something, but Sophie doesn't want me to know?" I asked. I stand up from the ground and helped Rydel up. "Did she want you to tell me this?" She only nodded. "But why?"

"Look Ross, I can't break my promise and tell you what is going on in her mind. But if you want a real Rydel advice, don't give up your hopes yet. She looks pretty strong, but she is a broken girl, that needs time and love to put herself together again. She was really bad hurt and she doesn't believe in love anymore. Show her that she can believe in it again. Be the weird romantic brother I love so much. She will fall for you. I know that for sure." I hugged my big sister.

"Thanks, Delly. I love you too. You're the best." After that I got back to my favourite spot in this bus with my guitar and my notebook and started to write a song. During the writing process Sophie was constantly in my mind. What did Rydel mean with broken? Who did this to her? I have to show her that she can trust me and that there is more to life than just work. But for the moment maybe it would be best, if I try to be her friend instead of trying to be with her.

And then the perfect idea came into my mind. I just needed a little help from my family, but tonight would be perfect.

Sophies Point of View

Tonight R5 was playing in Denver and I knew, that some of their family would be there too. I avoided Ross for three days in a row now, but I knew that I couldn't do it any longer. I mean, I was supposed to work with him. Andre was already asking what was going on between the two of us. I couldn't tell him, that I was mad at Ross because he kissed another girl. I had to forget this and go back to normal.

I hadn't seen anyone of the band so far today, what was weird, because I grew pretty close to them, especially Rydel, who was one of my best friends now. She was so understanding after what I told her. I never thought that anyone would understand. I mean even my family had problems to understand that. I had to look now for everyone, because the show was supposed to start in two hours. I went to their room and saw them with their whole family. As I entered the room, they became instantly silent. What was going on here.
