Rydel's POV:
Carrie and I were having the best girl's night. It was actually my first girl's night having four brother's and being homeschooled the only girl time I get is when my mother and I go shopping and out to lunch so it was a relief having Carrie around. We were in the middle of watching The Notebook when we heard screaming. Carrie paused the movie and we listened. It was Ratliff and my brothers'. We jumped up and ran downstairs'.
"Just let me talk to her. I can explain everything!" Ellington said.
"We don't want to hear your excuses!" Rocky said.
"Wait! I do! I want to know why? Why he would say he likes me then ask out another girl? Why he would do that to me? Did I deserve it? Did I do something wrong?" Rydel asked walking up to him.
"No, Rydel, of course not." He said.
"Then what?" I asked.
"Look Rydel I do like you and I was going to ask you out but I was afraid of what your family would think." He said.
"My family? Why?" I asked.
"I was afraid they'd say we couldn't be together because it would ruin the band." He said.
"So you go and ask out another girl!" I asked, almost yelled.
"Yes Rydel and I'm sorry maybe I should've told you first but it's my love life. I asked out Kelly and we're going out on a second date this Thursday. I just don't want you to hate me and I don't want to ruin our friendship or the band." He said. I sighed and through my arms around him.
"Ratliff you know I could never hate anyone! And it won't ruin our friendship or the band. Thank you for being honest with me and I'm so sorry." I said. He hugged me back.
"Good because I can't risk losing a great friend like you." He told me. The tension in the room seemed to ease.
"Riker, Rocky, Ross, Ryland I'm so sorry for hurting your older little sister and I completely understand if you don't forgive me soon or ever." He told them.
"Come on dude we have one more level to finish." Riker said and they walked into the living room. Carrie smiled at me and we went back to our girl's night.
