~Rocky POV~

"Well I like..." I start. "I can't say." If she finds out...

"Dude, I love you-" She does?! That's great! "-since you're my little brother, but you can tell me anything." She finishes. I frown again. Oh...

"L-Look, i-it's r-really u-unexpected." I stutter.

"You can tell me." She says putting her arm around me. I can't take it! I run to my bunk and take out my phone. I hit new message and text Rydel.

To: Rydel - Look, I love you. More than what you think. I just can't tell you face to face.

I take a deep breath and hit send. I lay face down and cry onto my pillow. Rocky Lynch, crying? Doesn't happen often. I just can't help it. I love her so much it hurts.

~Rydel POV~

I get the text from Rocky. I don't know what to say. Riker comes up to me. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asks.

I sigh. "What would you do if someone likes you but it's really unexpected and kinda weird but you don't know if you like him or someone else?" I ask.

"Well, first go talk to the person who likes you, then try to figure out who you like." He replies.

"Thanks Riker." I say smiling.

"No problem. Just one question." He replies.

"Shoot."

~Riker POV~

"Who's this person who likes you?" I ask.

She looks uncertain but then tells me. "R-Rocky." She says.

"Oh... Look go talk to him and work things out." I say. She goes to his bunk and leaves me on the couch.

Rocky likes her?! Wait...? Rydel might like him back?! But... Maybe i like her... Yeah, I do. No one knows that. Who's that other person she might like? It is me? Ugh... I have so many questions and no answers...

~Rydel POV~

I take Riker's advice and walk over to Rocky. He was laying face down on his bed. "Is the Rocky Lynch crying?" I tease.

He looks up, tears coming down his face. I sit down on his bed and hug him. "I shouldn't have told you that i like you cuz now you probably think I'm weird and will hate me forever." He says between his sobs.

"I can never hate you." I say hugging him tighter. "I'll always love you, no matter who you're in love with." I say. He smiles slightly.

"T-Thanks. I love you Rydel." He says hugging me back.

~Riker POV~

I know. It's wrong. I shouldn't be doing this. After Rydel walks over to Rocky, I follow her and hide behind a curtain. I hear every word of their conversation. I can't believe this. Rocky does like Rydel. Which means Rydel might like him back. Ugh! But what if I wanna be with her forever?! I sigh and lay on the couch that I use as a bed.

"Hey Rike." Rydel says.

"Hey. How'd it go?" I ask, even though already knew.

"Pretty good. Step one, completed. Now, just to figure out who I like more." She says.

"Um... Ry, if Rocky's the one person you like, who's the other?" I ask hoping it's me.

"Well..."
