Rydel looked up in shock. She looked at all of us before storming out of the room with tears in her eyes. Ellington called after her, but with no luck. He and Ross then walked out of the room to find Rydel. That left Ryland, Rocky, Maia, Riker, and I alone in the room.
I focused my glaze on Riker. His fists were clenched and his knuckles were white. I mentally sighed. What did I get myself into?
"So, when did this whole thing happen?" Ryland asked, breaking the silence. He waved to Rocky and I.
"A month ago." Rocky said and there was a loud crash. Riker had stood up so fast that his chair flew backwards. The next few things were a blur. Rocky was on the Floor clutching his face with Riker in front of him. Riker looked down at Rocky with disgust. Rocky glared up at Riker before getting up and pushing him.
"You knew that I loved her. Then you go behind my back, and take her. What kind of brother does that?" Riker asked through clenched teeth and I froze. He loved me?
"Well, you guys broke up and I liked her so I went for it. Now, one month later here we are and I wouldn't change a single thing." Rocky said and wrapped his arm around my waist. Riker then looked at me. His face softened, and I could see so many emotions going through him. Hurt. Love. Betrayal. I knew what it was like to be in his position too.
"Laura, tell me why..." Riker whispered and I looked up at him.
"He is so much better for me, and I love him..." I said. Riker looked as if someone had ran him over, and I'm pretty sure i was the driver. I bowed my head.
"That's all I needed to hear." He said and thn walked out of the room. My eyes followed him as he walked away. Rocky pulled me into his arms and cradled me. Ryland and Maia looked at eachother before walking out of the room.
"I love you." Rocky said and I wrapped my arms around him. He picked me up and carried me to the bed. He cradled me to his chest while I sobbed my heart out.
Why did this happen to me?

Ross
"Ross, what the hell are we going to do? Your sister just ran off and we have no freaking clue where she is?" Ellington said and paced around the hall way. I let out and frustrated groan and ran my hand through my hair. He was right. We had no clue where the hell she had went.
"We should try her room again..." I muttered and started off down the hall. Reaching her door, I slipped the card through the lock, and the door opened. Rydel was there on her bed, and she didn't look to good either.
"What do you need?" Rydel said, more like sobbed, to us.
"We need to know why you just stormed out of the room in the middle of the meeting." Ellington said and Rydel looked at him as if he were completely stupid.
"Isn't it obvious?" She asked and wiped a few tears from her face. Ellington looked at me and I sighed. I was going to have to give her the talk.
"Look Rydel, we just sort of happened..." I said and she threw her hands in the air.
"You should of at least known I liked Ellington." She said and hopped off her. She grabbed her keys and purse before walking towards the door.
"Woah, where do you think you're going?" Ellington asked as she opened the door. She rolled her eyes before walking out the door. Ellington and I followed close behind.
"Rydel Mary Lynch, you better not get in that elevator." Ellington shouted as Rydel ran down the hall way into the elevator. We were still halfway down the hall when the elevator closed with her in it.
"Damn. We need to take the stairs!" I said and rushed forward to the stairs next to the door. I stumbled down half the stairs at a time. I opened the door that was at the very bottom of the steps and ran put of it. I saw Rydel's flash of blonde hair through the door. I ran towards the front door and flung it open. Rydel was about to cross the street.
"Rydel! Don't do this!" I said and she looked back at me. She then ran across the street, but halfway there lights from a car came speeding down the highway and hit her. She collapsed to the ground in a heap as the car speed of into the night. I heard the door open from behind me but I didn't turn around. I simply pointed before sinking to the ground.
I watched as things happened in slow motion around me. Ellington was on the phone speaking to someone. Soon police lights filled the night sky. Soon after that an Ambulance came and picked Rydel up off of the cold wet ground. Laura, Rocky, Riker, Ryland, and Maia came barreling out of the front door. Laura rushed forward to look at her best friend as she was lifted into the ambulance. She started crying and Rocky wrapped his arms around her. Riker stood there with his mouth set in a grim line. Maia turned around and walked back into the hotel. As I looked closer I could see she was crying. Ryland walked off down the street with his head in his hands. Eventually, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and saw it was Ellington. He pulled me into his arms and I cried like a little child.

"Rydel Lynch?" A doctor called out into the silent room. Riker immediately stood up
walked through the doors the doctor had. It was serval minutesater before He came out. He didn't look very well. He sat back down where he sat before and sat motionless.
"Bro, what is wrong with her?" Ross asked and Riker turned his head to look at him.
"She has brain damage and may never remember any of us..." He said and I felt my eyes water before I started crying full on.
"Oh my god... this is my fault." Ross muttered before standing up and walking down the hall. Ellington looked after him before getting up and going to him.
"Are either of you hungry?" Rocky asked and I shook my head. Riker didn't say anything though.
"No thanks, babe." I said.
"Okay, well I'm gonna go get food. Call me if anything happens." He said and I nodded. He kissed my forehead before walking off down the hall. Silence filled waiting room. The only sound was the sound of the lights buzzing above us.
"You know we have to talk about it some time." I said and Looked at Riker. He turned his head towards me and raised his eyebrows.
"We really need to talk about this? Cause you sure as hell didn't talk to me when you hooked up with my brother and got pregnant." He said and I crossed my arms.
"Well, I'm sorry but I'm happy right now. If you aren't happy for me then I guess you aren't a friend of mine." I said and he laughed dryly.
"Once upon a time, there was a boy who was still in love with the girl, but that girl broke his heart. She fell in love with his brother and ended up getting pregnant. What that girl didn't notice was that the boy couldn't move on from the girl. He was stuck on her, but she was happily in love. So, now the boy has to sit on the sidelines and watch his brother take another girl from him. That boy then decided he had had enough. He decided he was going to get that girl back because you fight for what you love." He said and looked straight at me the whole time he said it. I gasped a little before closing my eyes.
"Do you mean it?" I asked.
"Every single fucking word." He said. I opened my eyes and looked at him. His face was dead serious.
