Living Next To R5 (R5 Fanfic)

I'm Not The Only One

Ashley P.O.V (continued)

I officially chose Riker and for the past three weeks, the group wouldn't speak to me besides Cat, Rocky, Riker, and Ross (annoyingly). Especially Rydel blocked me out.

I haven't opened the box Ratliff gave me yet. The day that I found out the house was mine Ross, Riker, Cat, and Rocky stayed in my room so I knew it wasn't a good time to open it. And I've just been too busy this week considering Riker hasn't left my side for one second. Also, I was upset about splitting the band up because I heard that they aren't even doing gigs anymore. They are totally giving music up as a family and I cant help but feel its my fault. 

Riker wants to go solo, so does Ross. So thats what they are gonna do. Rocky isn't sure yet. The rest of the group won't talk to me so I don't even know.

I walk up from the Lynchs basement holding the last box of Riker's stuff. He's upset that he decorated the basement and now has to leave it, so we are bringing some stuff with us. Such as the tv, trampoline, pool table, etc. "Ready?" Riker yelled walking down from upstairs. "Ready!" Me and Cat said in unison. Rocky was next door helping my mom.

My mom found a cute little house outside of the city about half an hour away. We were putting Rocky and Riker's stuff into the house while she was taking her stuff out. I didn't want to see the house empty. And woah, did they boys have alot of stuff. Rocky put a box into the moving truck then patted the side of the truck. My mom walked out of the house and saw us walking in. I dropped my box and ran into my mother's arms. I'm still a teenager and I'm nervous living in this big house all by myself, well you know what I mean.

Ashley began crying and so did her mother. Then we all joined the group hug and cried and smiled. When we let go her mom said she was gonna go next door to say goodbye. We went inside and put the boxes down. Ashley was the last to enter with her box. "It's all ours." I said looking around. I called for a break and we all went upstairs. We all went into the spare room and sat down on the chairs. A horn bleeped outside and we waved out the window as Ashley's mom drove away.

"I'm gonna go lay down." Ashley announced. Riker grabbed her hand and followed her to her room. He hasn't left her alone at all this week.

We bought some new furniture this weekend, with the help and funds of our parents, so me and Cat went downstairs to sit on our couch which got here yesterday. "I don't understand why everybody is so mad at Ashley. She's in love. She cant help it." Cat said. She was laying down in my lap. I stroked my fingers through her hair. "I know. She seems torn apart. It's bad enough that Ross keeps texting her." "How do you know?" She questioned. I sighed. "Just keep it a secret okay?" She shook her head in understanding. "Riker checks Ashleys phone and Ross texts her all day saying that he loves her and hes gonna sneak into her room and stuff. He's obsessed..."

Cat P.O.V

I know I shouldn't care whether Ross likes me or not. I know he used to, and he hits on me every now and then. But, I cant wrap my finger around why he's so obsessed with Ashley. Its getting really unhealthy.

I thought this was a phase, but I guess not. And as Ashley's best friend,  it was my right to talk him out of it.

"Does she say anything back?" I asked. "Nope." Rocky answered. I stood up. I'm gonna talk to Ashley before I make any drastic decisions. I kissed Rocky's cheek. "I got some stuff to do, but we can decorate our house when I get back." Then I headed up to Ashley's room.

I knocked on her door but there was no answer. I took my chances and just walked in. Riker and Ashley were sleeping. I hate waking up Ashley because her first reaction is to punch but I learned how to avoid that. I leaned over Riker and yelled Ashley and she turned around to punch Riker in the arm. "Ow!" Riker screamed. "I am so sorry! Catherine!" She yelled. "I need to talk to you." I ordered.  She saw the look on my face and gave the same one to Riker. "Babe..?" "Yeah yeah." Riker said while walking out. He kept rubbing where Ash punched him.

I sat on her bed. "Whats up?" She asked. "Do you love Ross." I asked. "Whattt." Ashley's voice got higher so I could tell she was avoiding my question. She sighed then answered seriously. "Yeah but no. He keeps texting me, and I refuse to answer. I love Riker, but Ross isn't helping at all.." "I can talk to him for you. " I offered. "Where is this coming from?" "I dont know.." "Okay... but yeah, I'd appreciate if you talked to him. But be gental." She begged. "'Go away, stalker' isn't gental?" I joked. She laughed. "Common, you know he can't help his feelings." She said seriously. I nodded and got up to walk out.

"Wait!" She yelled. I turned around. "What?" She pulled open her bureau and took out a box. "Ratliff gave this to me. And I want someone to be here while I open it."
