Ross' Point of View:
“Hey Ross, you wanna come with me?” Rocky asked almost a week later as he grabbed his jacket off the couch, heading for the front door.
I looked at him, sitting on the couch, wearing my pajamas. “Where you going?”
“Going to get Sunny and Liam from the airport.” My older brother smiled. “They're coming home for the weekend.”
I jumped from my spot and walked over to the from door. Man, I can't wait to see Sunny again! Every since we started working on the show together, se have become really good friends. Haha, we became such good friends that Riker thought I had a crush on her. Of course I said no, I knew that Rocky and Avery were meant to be together and there was no way I was going to get in the way of that!
Rocky and I hopped into his jeep and headed for the airport.
“Ready to see you girlfriend?” I teased my older brother in a sing song voice. He gave me a shove, but that smile on his face didn't go away. I gave him a serious look, and with a soft heart I asked. “You really love her don't you?”
“I do.”
~~~
“Sunny!” I yelled through the airport when I say my friend. She speed walked over to where Rocky and I stood in front of the airport.
“What am I? Chop liver?” Liam, Avery's uncle, asked when they made their way over.
“Hey man.” I gave my sister's boyfriend a man hug. Than I turned to my co star and wrapped my arms around her like she was my sister, which, she kinda is... “I missed you Sunny!”
“I missed you too Ross.” She unwrapped herself from my arms and messed up my blond hair.
“Hey, not cool!” I pouted, fixing my hair back to place. They all laughed as we walked back to the jeep.
“Man, it's good to be home.” Avery said, a glowing smile on her face. Rocky wrapped his arm over Avery's shoulder and they walked in front of us, whispering into each other's ears.
Liam held me back. “Ross, check this out.”
I looked to him and he's holding a tiffany blue box. “Uh, whoa man. You're dating my sister...” I joked around.
He hit me, a smirk on his face. “No, it's for your sister.” He opened the box. It was a silver chain bracelet with a heart charm. “It's for our six months this weekend.”
“Aw, is he showing you the bracelet?” Sunny chimed in from her place as she climbed into the passenger's seat. “I love it!”
“When are you going to give it to her?” Rocky asked as we pulled out of the parking lot.
“Tomorrow night.” Liam went into detail how he was going to surprise Rydel by taking her out to dinner for their anniversary and giving her the bracelet.
Avery held my brother's hand and gave him a soft smile. “I missed you.”
~~~
“So, where's this mystery girl?” Avery asked me when it was just the two of us. We sat in the car while Rocky and Liam went into the gas station. I couldn't hide my blushing face.
“Roxy is with her family tonight. Her little brother had a school play that her mom is making her go to.” I explained. Avery reached over the seat and held my hand.
“I can't wait to meet her.” She smiled. “Rocky says you really like her.”
“I really do.” The doors opened and the two guys slid into the seats.
“Ready to see the family?” Rocky asked, and we were off!
~~~
“They're here!” Mom exclaimed when we pulled into the restaurant parking lot. Liam jump out of the car like it was on fire and ran towards my sister who threw her arms around him.
We all turned our attention to Avery, giving the reunited couple a few minutes of privacy.
“We missed you so much sweetie.” Mom cried into Avery's arms. It took me a minute to remember nobody has seen Avery since they found out the truth about the break up.
“I'm so sorry everything went down the way it did.” She wiped a tear from her eye.
“Oh, Sunny, you don't need to apologize. You were protecting your family and it's all in the pass now.” My mom held out her hands and pulled dad into the hug. “We're just glad to have you back in our lives.”
Avery gave my mom one more hug before saying hi to the rest of the family, including Ratliff.
“We missed you Sunny.” Ryland hugged her.
“Missed you little sis.” Ratliff messed up her hair like he always did.
When she came to Riker, at first they didn't say anything. I knew there were somethings said, and people were upset. But Riker looked her straight in the eyes and said, “I'm sorry. The things I said to you were rude and uncalled for. Please forgive me?”
Avery shook her her head. “Riker, I was never mad at you.” They gave each other a hug. She made peace with each one of them. And the best part is, they all welcomed her back with open arms.
“I think the table's ready.” My dad said as he tried to wipe his eyes without anybody seeing.
We all walked into the restaurant, and when I looked back, I saw Rocky and Avery walking in together with their arms wrapped around each other, I looked the other way to see Rydel and Liam kissing. I quickly looked away. I never wanna see that again! Eww!
But I was glad that two of my siblings were happily in relationships. Hopefully, I can add myself to that list soon...
~~~
"So, let's hear all about this movie." Mom said as we all sat down at the table.
We all looked at Sunny, waiting for her to start talking. "It's amazing, i really love it. The cast and crew are really great." For a good twenty minutes she just talked about how great the movie is.
"And the best part is." Avery tapped the table for a drum roll. "R5 is invited to the movie premiere." She looked to my younger brother with a smile. "And that includes you Ryland."
YES! The whole table looked at me. "Did i say that out loud?" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah...." Rydel said, and the whole table busted out laughing. My older sister turned to her right, facing Avery. "Let me see the ring Rocky got you." She had a beaming smile on her face. Avery held out her left hand to show off the promise ring Rocky gave to her. It was a silver band with a simple green gem.
"Aww." Both my mom and sister cooed as the looked at the ring. Seriously, how long can women look at a simple ring? I mean, come on, fifteen minutes is long enough, and I'm sure they would have gone on longer if the waitress hadn't come to take our order. But i have to admit, if a simple ring could make Avery glow like that, maybe i should be taking advice from Rocky, cause he seems to know what he's doing...
~~~
"Bye guys." I said to the two couples as they dove away in Rocky's jeep, while I got moved over to the white van. A buzz from my iPhone made me smile. It was Roxy. Hey, just got done with the play. It's finally over! :)
I smiled even brighter as went back and forth the rest of the night, just talking.
"Go to bed Ross!" Ryland threw a pillow at my head as we both laid in our beds. But i must have been keeping him up with the glow of my phone, so i sent one last text to Roxy before i went to bed, with a giant smile on my face. Wanna have lunch with my family Sunday?
