"Ross, you can't keep going on like this."
The blond rolled his eyes for the millionth time that day. He had one earbud in his left ear after having the other rudely ripped out by his sister. Everything they were saying he had heard countless times before, and frankly, he still didn't care.
"I don't care," he muttered blandly.
Rydel screamed out in frustration, her hands tangled in her hair. "Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall; pointless and stupid!"
"Then don't talk to me!" Ross spit out venomously, jumping out of his chair. "I've heard this all a million times before; I don't need to hear it again!"
Riker ran a hand through his hair, sighing heavily. "Then why can't you just listen?"
"Because this is all stupid," Ross replied harshly. "I don't need to change; this is who I am."
Rocky snorted. "No Ross, obviously you're not or else we wouldn't be having this conversation."
"Whatever," Ross scoffs. "I don't need to be here," he replied coldly, already halfway out of his seat.
"Ross," Ratliff placed a hand on his shoulder, and pushed him back down gently. The blond scowled in return but waited quietly anyways. "I think we've come up with a decision."
Ross smirked. "Oh yeah? And what's that?"
"You either clean up your act, or you're out of the band."
The words that tumble out of Rydel's mouth wiped the conceited smirk right off Ross's face.
"You can't kick me out!" He yelled shakily. "I'm the lead! You'll be nothing without me!"
Rocky frowned. "That's where you're wrong. Our fans love all of us, not just you."
"We don't want to do it," Riker gently explained. "But if you keep this up, we have no choice."
"Please, don't make us do it," Rydel pleaded. "You're our little brother. We're only doing what's best for you."
Ross stayed silent; he didn't know what to say.
"If you're interested in cleaning up your act, we might have a plan," Ratliff suggested, eyeing the other three siblings. Ross nodded for him to continue so he did. "We thought that maybe if we hire you a fake girlfriend and you guys get into the tabloids enough, they'll slowly forget about all the scandals you've pulled. They'll believe that this girl is good for you, and somehow made you change your old ways."
"That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard," he replied harshly. A look of hurt flashed through Ratliff's eyes, and the pang in Ross's chest spoke much louder than his attitude. "I'm sorry Ratliff, that was rude."
To say the least, they were surprised he even apologized.
"I know I'm out of options so if this is my last resort, I'll take it," he sighed.
A large grin slowly spread across Rocky's face. "You will!?" He instantly enveloped his little brother in a hug. "Ah, it's good to have you back bro."
And as much as Ross tried to keep up his bad boy image, he couldn't help but smile and hug the older boy back.
"There's one condition though!" He yelled, pulling away from Rocky. "Riker gets to choose the girl."
Riker raised an eyebrow. "Really? You're trusting me?"
"I rather trust you than the rest."
"Hey!" Rydel smacked his shoulder. "I would find you a great girl!"
Ross rolled his eyes. "No. You'd find a girl just like you who loves pink and sparkles."
"What's wrong with a girl like that?" She frowned.
"You're enough," he shook his head, stifling a laugh.
Rocky laughed as he wrapped an arm around Rydel who was pouting. "The good thing is he agreed to it."
"And now we just need to find the girl," Ratliff clicked his tongue. "How're you gonna do it Riker?"
Riker shrugged. "I actually don't know."
"My buddy has a sister who's Ross's age," Ratliff suggested. "She's not an R5 fan, so that helps."
Riker pondered this quietly. "Do you have her number?" Ratliff nodded. "Can I have it? I'll meet with her and see. What's her name?"
"Pretty sure it's Laura," he replied, scratching his head.
Riker nodded. "Cool, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"The sooner the better," Rydel reprimanded.
And this is when Ross realized just exactly what he was getting himself into.
"Can I come?"
"No."
"But why!"
"Because I said so."
"Well I don't care, I'm going anyways."
Riker rolled his eyes, clearly irritated.
"Fine," he gave in after a minute of staring at her puppy dog eyes. "But I ask all the questions, you just observe, understood?"
"Yes sir," Rydel mock saluted him. He shot her a look. "Don't worry! I just think that you need a girls perspective... trust me, I know how girls work."
Riker nodded; he secretly didn't want to go alone and he didn't even want to know what would happen if he brought Rocky along with him. But he wasn't going to tell Rydel that.
"Okay, let's go," he grabbed his car keys and headed for the door. Rydel squealed and ran out after him.
"And she strikes once again," Rocky roars with laughter from where he was playing basketball outside with Ross.
Riker rolled his eyes. "Shut up," Rydel muttered.
"I just don't understand how you can never say no to her," he shrugged, not realizing that they just want him to shut up.
Ross threw him the ball, sending him a knowing look. "Everyone has a soft spot for Rydel. She gave you the puppy dog eyes, didn't she?" He smirked.
"No!" Rydel screamed at the same time Riker replied with, "Yes!"
Rocky chuckled. "Anyways, go meet with the girl and let us know what happens after."
Riker nodded coolly. "See you later guys."
"Oh, that's her!" Rydel screamed, smacking Riker's bicep.
Riker rolled his eyes for the tenth time that minute. "No, that's not her. Rydel, I'm pretty sure we agreed you weren't supposed to speak."
"You said I couldn't ask questions," She pointed out smartly.
He narrowed his eyes. "Don't get smart with me."
"Ugh, why isn't she here?" Rydel groaned loudly.
"So ladylike," He snorted in response.
She glared coldly at him. "Shut up."
Riker looked up as the bell chimed, notifying that someone has entered the shot. "That's her!"
"Oh my god!" Rydel panicked, instantly going to fix her hair and look presentable. "Okay, okay, act cool. Be natural."
Riker laughed quietly. "I'm fine, you sure you'll be okay?"
She didn't reply; she just sent him a quick glare then turned with her blinding smile towards 'Laura'.
Laura was a fairly normal looking girl. She was considerably short, with beautiful chestnut curls cascading down past her shoulders. Her eyes were a dark brown, matching the light tips of her hair. As soon as she noticed Rydel and Riker sitting on one side of the booth, she smiled, revealing her pearly whites.
"I approve," Rydel whispered.
"You haven't even met her!"
"Doesn't matter!" She hissed back. "Hi there! I'm Rydel," she pointed over to Riker. "This is my brother Riker."
Laura smiled, shyly sliding into the booth across from them. "I know," she replied with a sheepish grin. "I did some research after Riker's call."
"Oh good then," Riker clapped his hand together. "Time to get down to business. So I'm not sure if in your research you figured out that our little brother, Ross, has been kind of off the rails lately."
Laura nodded, her brown eyes shimmering. "Actually yeah. I saw an article or two about it."
"Basically, we had no clue what to do about him anymore. He was getting too out of hand and we actually had to consider kicking him out of the band at one point," she gasped. "But Ratliff came up with a plan. I'm not sure if he shared that with you or not..?" It came out as a question.
She shook her head. "He just said you guys wanted to talk to me and it had to do with Ross."
"Alright well, we thought that maybe if we had someone to pose as Ross's girlfriend for a while, the media would get off his bad and he would slowly lose his badass reputation," he explained slowly, examining her facial features.
Her expression didn't change. "And er," Rydel butted in after she realized Laura didn't understand her role in this plan. "We wanted you to be the fake girlfriend."
Her eyes bugged out. "Me?" She exclaimed.
Riker cringed at the tone of her voice. "Yes..." he replied slowly.
"I, uh," She fiddled with her fingers, obviously caught off guard. "Do you actually think it'll work?"
Rydel sighed. "To be honest, we have absolutely no idea. But we're willing to give it a try; it's pretty much our only hope."
"So, what do you say?"
After a moment of letting Laura's conscience scream and argue in her head if it was a good idea, she sighed and agreed relentlessly.
"Okay, I agree. BUT, I have rules."
