Riker was exited for today. It's his first day being a warbler on glee. He still couldn't believe he made it. "Bye mom, bye dad. I'll be back after work" Riker smiled walking out the door. "bye sweetie, have fun" Stormie smiled as he left.

Riker walked in the rehearsal space and smiled. "hey, what's your name?" a brunette asked Riker. "Riker, and yours?" "I'm Curt, you're a warbler too?" the brunette asked "yup, I still can't believe I'm here" Riker smiled "me neither, I love acting" Curt smiled. "me too. I'm also in a band though so I'm mostly committed to that" Riker smiled "wait you're in a band?" A blonde asked "yeah, it's called R5. you may know it because my brother is on Austin and Ally and we just released our first album" Riker explained "oh you're a Lynch" The blonde smiled "and you are?" Riker asked "John" The blonde smiled. "ok everyone, welcome to the set of glee. you all are now our warblers. so let's get rehearsing!" The director shouted so everyone walked to a rehearsal space.

Riker knew he would be good friends with Curt. Well, he thought he might end up being more than friends with him. Riker hasn't really told anyone but he's gay, and extremely gay too. He has a stash of magazines full of hot guys in his room and he watches gay porn every night.

Rehearsals ended and Curt approached Riker. "hey you wanna hang out, maybe grab a beer?" Curt asked "I'm nineteen, I can't drink" Riker pointed out. "oh yeah, sorry" Curt chuckled "I have to go rehearse with my band anyways, see you tomorrow I guess" Riker sighed and left.

Curt really wanted to be friends with Riker. He noticed Riker seems shy. He couldn't help but notice when he first saw Riker how perfectly his blonde hair flowed over his face and how his eyes were not quite brown but more of a hazel color that made him smile. Curt shook his thoughts and went home.

Curt sat on the couch and studied his lyrics to the songs he had to know.

After a couple hours Curt dropped the paper of lyrics on the table and sighed. He turned on the tv. He went through the channels and stopped when he heard something interesting. He saw it was disney playing one of R5's songs. He picked up his laptop and googled R5. He watched some of their music videos and could only focus on Riker.

Riker laid in bed and sighed. He couldn't believe how much fun he had. Everyone says he's shy and he needs to sing louder and he tries but he really is shy. He doesn't really go out much and the only place he inst shy is singing on stage with his family. It might sound ridiculous for a singer to be shy but it's possible. Riker pulled out his magazine from under his mattress and smirked. He moved his hand down his pants and started to stroke him self as he stared at the hot men in the magazine.

Riker heard footsteps so he hid the magazine and covered himself up. "Hey Riker are you sleeping?" Rydel asked "no" Riker replied quietly. "awesome. I need your help" Rydel smiled flipping the light on. "so I need you to help me figure out which hairstyle looks better" Rydel said "I'm kinda tired can I help you tomorrow?" Riker asked still really quiet. "I'll just ask mom" Rydel sighed and left the room.

Riker continued what he was doing before Rydel walked in.

The next day Riker got up and went to rehearsals. "hey Riker so you wanna hang out after rehearsals and maybe go to the park or chill at one of our houses?" Curt asked "um sure" Riker replied then they started to rehearse.

At lunch Riker was hoping nobody would talk to him. "hey so why are you so shy?" Titus asked "I don't know" Riker replied quietly "so you're telling me you're in a band but you're really shy?" John asked so Riker nodded. "you're kidding. that's hilarious. you can't be a singer if you're shy, you can't even be an actor if you can't say three words loud enough for anyone to hear" Alex laughed so Riker looked down at his food not saying anything. "you're lucky you only have to say one word, I hope you say it loud enough for the people next to you to hear" John laughed "Guys leave him alone" Curt said "what are you, his protector or something?" John asked "no, but if he doesn't want to talk we shouldn't force him to or make fun of him" Curt replied "oh boo hoo he doesn't talk. he shouldn't be an actor or singer if he won't say anything to even defend him self" John said "leave him alone John" Titus commanded "yeah you should shut up, stop teasing the poor kid about being shy" Darren commanded "fine, I will for now" John huffed.

Rehearsals ended and Curt walked over to Riker. "so where do you wanna hang out. "um we could go to my house" Riker replied quietly. "ok, I'll follow you" Curt smiled and followed the blonde out.

Riker pulled into the driveway and got out of his car. Curt followed him into the house and smiled at Mark and Stormie. "Hey Riker" Mark smiled "hi dad" Riker sighed "Curt and I are gonna hang out in my room" Riker told his parents quietly. "ok" Stormie smiled.

Riker sat on his bed and took his shoes off. He put everything in it's place then sat back down. "you're very organized" Curt chuckled "yeah" Riker whispered. Curt sat on the bed and spotted the spine of a magazine or something. "what do you like to read?" Curt asked reaching for the magazine under the pillow. "oh uh nothing" Riker said trying to get the magazine but it was too late. Curt opened the magazine and made a funny face. "dude why do you have gay porn?" Curt asked "I'm gay. but you can't tell anyone else because you're the first person to know" Riker explained quieter than normal. "oh, um ok. I won't tell anyone because I'm not a jerk and I respect people" Curt sighed "you should go" Riker whispered "ok. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then" Curt sighed so Riker nodded.

Riker sat down at the table and ate his dinner. "Riker how was work?" Stormie asked "good" Riker replied not looking up. "what's up sweetie? you look like something is distracting you" Stormie asked "I have to tell you something important" Riker sighed "what's that?" Stormie asked "I'm gay" Riker said really quietly. "speak up Riker we can't hear you" Mark said "I'm gay" Riker said a little louder. "What the hell is wrong with you? I didn't raise you like that!" Mark yelled so Riker got scared. Nobody ever yelled at Riker because he was so shy. "I'm sorry" Riker mumbled "speak up you stupid faggot!" Mark shouted slapping him. "I-I'm Sorry" Riker stuttered and Mark started beating Riker up.

Riker was on the floor sobbing and covered in blood as his own father continued to beat him up. "Mark stop!" Stormie yelled trying to pull him away from Riker. "Ross help me" Stormie said so Ross held his father back while Rocky and Rydel took Riker to his room.

Riker laid on his bed and sobbed. "it's ok Riker, we'll get you cleaned up and won't let dad hurt you anymore" Rocky said while Rydel got a wet wash cloth. Riker winced as Rydel cleaned his cuts and looked at his bruises. Riker wiped away his tears and laid down in his bed. "you ok?" Rydel asked so Riker nodded "yeah, I just wanna be left alone" Riker told them so the two nodded and left the room.

Riker laid there and sobbed. He eventually fell asleep while crying in pain.
