Chapter 8
1 Year & 164 Days
After spending days in London, messing around, going places, hanging back out with Brad, Tristan, James and Connor, it was finally time for R5, Laura, Maia and Titus to go home. Of course The Vamps were going to America too to do a couple shows on the West Coast as well as other things for the band, and funnily enough they were getting the same plane as them to Los Angeles.
Now anybody else would have said that was suspicious, but Rydel and Riker just say it's a really weird coincidence seen as though they're the only people in the band that know things the others don't.
They all waited together for around an hour before the plane had actually arrived and right now they were all boarding it and finding their seats. The numbers on the tickets were all mixed up, so there was a great chance that some of them might not sit together or might be at the other side of the plane. Hopefully if they aren't together by band, they'll just be mixed with each other.
Brad finished putting whatever else he had with him above the seats and went to go find his seat. He let his eyes wonder around the cabin for his seat, and he saw the back of where it was from where he was standing as well as part of a blonde head popping up at the top.
Well, that could only be one person with that blonde hair.
Brad quickly made his way over, trying not to knock into any other people in the process, and quickly jumped down in his seat "Hey Ro-Rydel." Brad said, smiling at first but it dropped when he saw it was Rydel. Not that he was disappointed that it was her, but because he wasn't expecting it to be her and it nearly gave him a heart attack.
Gosh, what was it with people and things giving him heart attacks lately?
You'd have thought the world wanted rid of him.
"What's wrong Brad?" Rydel asked, with a slight grin "you'd have thought you weren't happy to see me."
Brad shook his head, beginning to smile "No, I am. I'm relieved it's somebody that I know and not a stranger, I just thought you were somebody else..."
Rydel nodded "Yeah, well, look," Rydel said, leaning in close to Brad and pointing over to where Ross was and making Brad look "he's sat in between Tristan and Connor down there." She patted him on the shoulder as he looked over "But you know what, I'm feeling sick, so I don't particularly want to be sitting next to a window so I'll go swap with Ross," she smiled at Brad "he likes sitting next to windows. Especially ones that have a good view."
Brad shook his head slowly at Rydel, knowing what she was getting at. Rydel gave him a small shove before getting up and making her way down the aisle to where the three boys were sat. The chairs behind them weren't taken, so she knelt on them and popped her head between Ross and Tristan "Hey boys." She said, with a smile.
The three looked up and said 'hey' to her. She tapped Ross on the shoulder "So, listen, I'm feeling sick."
Ross shrugged, not knowing what it had to do with him "And? Get a sick bag or something."
Rydel rolled her eyes "I'm sitting next to a window. You're not. If I sit next to a window, I'll feel even more sick and eventually throw up. So will you swap with me?" Rydel asked, Ross had an unsure look on his face about it. Rydel sighed "I'm sitting with Brad, it isn't like you'll be sat with a stranger."
Ross shrugged, seeming more happier "Alright then."
As he got up, Rydel stood on the aisle waiting for him to get up and go sit with Brad. Luckily their seat was right at the back of the cabin, so if they ended up sharing a kiss or doing anything they wouldn't be seen by the people who know them. "Thought that would change your mind." Rydel said quietly as he passed by. Ross sent her a glare and continued on walking up the aisle.
Once Ross had gone and sat down next to Brad, Rydel turned and jumped in between Tristan and Connor. "So, are you really feeling sick or is that just an excuse to come sit next me?" Connor asked, joking.
Rydel smiled jokingly "You know I would do anything and make up any excuse just so I could sit next to you."
Tristan made an 'ugh' sound before turning on the music that was on his phone and sticking his headphones in. He knows that Rydel and Connor are joking, but he doesn't need to put up with the joking about love crap.
Rydel and Connor looked at Tristan as he done so before looking back at each other. "What's your verdict then? Are you pregnant?" Connor asked, quietly but loud enough so only Rydel could hear.
"Whoa, wait," Tristan said, taking out his headphones "your pregnant?" he asked, quietly.
"Didn't you have your headphones in a minute ago?" Rydel asked.
Tristan nodded "Yeah, but I had them on so I could still hear," he wrapped up his headphones and turned so he was facing both Rydel and Connor "have you two been fooling around together?"
Rydel almost choked on the saliva in her mouth whilst Connor nearly punched him in the face. Connor laughed sarcastically and nervously "You're so funny Tristan. Do me a favour? Shut up," he said, seeming harsh "she has a boyfriend."
"Who? You?"
"Oh my-"
"Connor," Rydel said, cutting him off before this all turned into something nasty and loud that the whole plane could hear including Titus. She turned and faced Tristan again and slapped him "No, you doof. I am not dating Connor. Do you honestly think if I dated Connor it would work out? I mean Ross and Brad are only just making their relationship work! God, Tristan. No, my boyfriend is Titus. I thought you knew that."
Tristan rubbed his head where Rydel had slapped him, being convinced she caught him by one of her nails and sliced the side of his head open. Connor laughed at Tristan's pain but both boys faces sobered and had the look of confusement on them when they realised something what Rydel had said during that sentence.
"Did you just say something about Ross and Brad?" Connor asked.
Rydel went to go say no, but replayed what she had said through her mind. Her face dropped and her eyes widened "Oh my god, I'm going to hell." She said, putting her head into her hands.
"Do you wanna repeat what you said?" Tristan asked, not being one hundred per cent sure on what she did say. Ross and Brad? They couldn't be... not them. Could they? "Did you just say that they're only just making their 'relationship' work?" Tristan asked.
Rydel lifted up her head, looking regretful with a mix of guilt and nodded. There was no point in trying to deny it or cover up for it, it wasn't going to work. Maybe Rydel is pregnant after all because before she was feeling sick and throwing up she was able to keep secrets without accidentally blurting them out to people.
Connor raised his eyebrows "And by 'relationship' you mean friendship or bromance, right?" Connor asked.
Rydel shook her head "No. They're dating. I found out before we came over here."
"You know that explains a lot..." Tristan said thoughtfully. And by a lot, he means a lot. The way Brads been acting for the past few months and the way he's been acting ever since R5 got to the London, and them making a disappearing act before they had to go on stage for the R5 concert and then them both deciding not to go out after the concert.
How did he not figure this out before?
Rydel looked at Connor and Tristan, both with different facial expressions. Tristan looked like he should have known it all along and that every single complication in life finally made sense to him but Connor looked almost horrified. "Do you both have a problem with it?" Rydel asked, sounding defensive of Ross and Brad.
Tristan shook his head "I don't. I mean, it explains a whole lot to me now with the way Brad's been acting. I'm happy as long as they're happy, but once Ross hurts Brad those bets are off."
Rydel nodded "And same goes for Brad if he hurts Ross." Rydel said, looking at Tristan with smiles on their faces like they understood one another. They even gave each other a fist bump, as if it was a deal they were making. If Ross hurts Brad, Tristan gets to punch him, and if Brad hurts Ross, Rydel gets to punch Brad.
Along with Rocky, Riker, Ryland and Ellington.
Tristan and Rydel turned their heads to Connor, waiting for his response on Ross and Brad's relationship. He didn't seem to say anything, he continued to wear the same shocked face. "Connor?" Tristan asked.
Connor snapped out of it, shaking his head and smiling a little "Yeah... shocking... but I'm fine with it. Same as what Tristan said."
Rydel nodded "Great," she smiled "glad we all have an understanding."
The three laughed at their little 'deal' they had. That was when the shadow of a human figure glanced over to them. They all looked up, still laughing, and saw Titus standing on the aisle next to them. Suddenly Connor and Tristan's laughter sobered up, but Rydel continued on giggling a little. Not realising how close she was leaning into Connor as she laughed.
When she did, seeing the look Connor was getting from Titus, she moved away and sat up straight in the chair. "What's so funny?" Titus asked.
Rydel shook her head "Oh, nothing. Inside joke." She said, not being able to hold in her smirk anymore than Tristan and Connor could.
Titus nodded, not being quite sure what to make of this "Um.. are you coming to sit with me?"
Rydel looked over to where Titus had came from, seeing he was originally sat with Riker and Ryland "You're sitting with my brothers..."
"I know, but I'm sure one of them will swap with you."
Rydel shook her head "No, I'm fine here," She smiled "these two will take care of me and make me laugh for the flight."
Titus nodded, casting his look over to Connor who immediately felt uncomfortable. Rydel saw this and rolled her eyes "Titus, get a grip. He's not interested in me," She said, taking a small pause where Titus still didn't look convinced "He's gay." Rydel added.
"Excuse me?" Connor asked, turning his head quickly to Rydel.
Tristan couldn't help but laugh at this. Rydel nodded "Yup, that's right," Rydel said, still seeing Titus didn't look too impressed or convinced. Rydel sighed "He's gay with Tristan."
Tristan laughed more, but realised what she said and sobered up his laughter "What?!"
Rydel nodded "They are. Don't worry about them. They're trying to keep it a secret. Only us two know now."
Titus nodded, still not quite believing Rydel but chose to believe it anyway so he could leave "Alright... I'll see you when we get off the plane..." Titus turned around and made his way back to Rydel's seat.
Rydel smiled, giving him a wave. Connor stared at Rydel in disbelief "Gay? With Tristan? Really?"
"Oh, it was either that or tell him you're transgender." Rydel snapped at him.
Tristan shook his head, trying to forget that actually happened. Connor rubbed his eyes with his hands, knowing that this flight wasn't going to be a fun one. Especially with Rydel telling people he's gay with his best friend just because her boyfriend seems to be threatened by Connor. That is the way it seems.
Connor turned his head to Rydel, seeming suspicious "Is he nice, Rydel?"
Rydel looked at Connor confused "What do you mean?"
"Well, he wasn't exactly acting very nice there, I'm not gonna lie," Connor said, getting that in quickly "I meant... is he nice to you? Like... physically."
Rydel nodded "Oh, yeah. He's totally fine, he's very sweet," She said smiling, thinking it was stupid of Connor to think Titus would hurt her like that when he wouldn't. She then let her smile drop "Its just... he can get a little bit protective. That's why I told him you were gay, other wise he might have said something or done something. Trust me, he's done it before."
Now Tristan became suspicious "Done what before?"
Rydel sighed, feeling a lot of weight on her shoulders. She was like little miss chamber of secrets today. "A while ago, he thought Ellington liked me but he couldn't understand that it was just friendship and we decided - stupidly - whined up the fans for a little while with 'Rydellington'. I admit, it might have been our fault a little bit, but Titus took it seriously and well... Ellington ended up with a bust lip and black eye."
"Jesus fucking Christ, Rydel," Connor said, seeming panicked by this. He was starting to get afraid of being near Rydel now, after hearing the stunt Titus did to Ellington. He slouched in his chair, worried, with his arms folded "I'm gonna end up with a fat lip. All because I'm being nice to you."
"No offense Rydel, I know I don't have a say on who you date and how you run your relationship," Tristan said, trying to ease Rydel into this "but... if he's doing that, especially to your best friend, why are you with him? Even if you do love him, because if I was a girl and I had a boyfriend and they did something like that to Brad, Connor or James I wouldn't think twice about staying with him."
Rydel let Tristan's words go through her mind, making her think for a moment before Connor spoke "And now you might be carrying his baby," Connor said "now you definitely have no escape from him if you were ever thinking about breaking up with him."
Rydel turned her head to Connor as he said that, looking him up and down, feeling the nervousness and worry coming to her, knowing that the both of them were right. And that scared her. She got up from where she stood "I think... I think I need to go to the bathroom." She said, quickly running up the aisle away from them.
Connor watched as she ran towards the toilet. Tristan shrugged, getting his headphones ready to put back in "Someone had to say it to her." Tristan said, putting them in and slouching in the seat incase he fell asleep between the UK and LA.
"Yeah..."
Okay, so this chapter was basically just to show the obvious impact Connor, and maybe Tristan, are going to have in Rydel's life for this story. I'm not so sure about Tristan because I was maybe thinking about getting him involved, in a sort of nice way, with the Rocky, Ratliff and Kelly situation. I don't know though, we'll see how that plays out. Maybe he'll dabble in both a little haha.
Also, I have another Vamps video for you to watch. It's not the whole video, even though it's like two minutes long, it's just Connor. It is so freaking hilarious. It's on their main YouTube channel & it's called "Harry Potter And The Manchester Lights". Seriously, go watch it, Connor will make you laugh so freaking hard.
Thanks for reading!
