*an hour before dinner*
P.o.v Riker/Madison
So dinner is in an hour and I'm currently in Rydel's room with her as I freak out because I feel like I want to back out again from telling everyone and Rydel keeps assuring me that everything will be fine. my nerves are so bad right now that i honestly might throw up... After Rydel noticed that i went pale in the face she rubbed my back. "if you want, i'll go get you some gravol, but you are still telling them tonight... i can see what this is doing to you and i think you and i know that getting it off your chest would be what's best." with that i nodded and she left the room to go get some gravol and a glass of water. she was back after a couple of seconds. "here, take this." she said handing me a pill and a glass of water. "thanks" i mumbled before downing the pill with a sip of water. after that it didn't take long for the pills to take effect.
P.o.v Rydel
By this time there's about a half hour until dinner and all of a sudden there was a knock on my bedroom door. I got up to get the door and it was Ellington. "hey ell, what's up?" i asked. Nothing much, Rocky and I were just playing some video games and i was wondering if Riker wanted to join us... Rocky said he would be in here." Ellington replied. I looked back at Riker who was sitting on my bed quietly waiting for me to come back. "I'll be back in a second ell." i said and walked over to my bed to talk to Riker for a moment. "Rike, Ell was wondering of you wanted to play video games with him and Rocky for a bit before dinner." I stood there as he though for a moment. "sure, why not" He replied as he got up to go play some wide games with Rocky and Ell for a bit before dinner.

Im sitting in the living room with the game paused when all of a sudden Ellington came back With Riker following closely behind him. "Hey Rike, are you alright?" I asked with a concerned tone considering how quiet he has been lately. "yeah, i'm alright, i'm just nervous about dinner tonight" he said quietly. I was confused for a brief moment but then I remembered that he said that he was going to tell everyone his big secret tonight that Rydel, and Vanni already knows. All of a sudden Rydel walked into the room. "Riker, Mom said if you want you can invite Vanni over for dinner too even though it's short notice. "Okay!" he replied and with that he took his phone out of his pocket and walked off to go call Vanni to invite her over for dinner. Shortly after that, Riker came back and sat down with Ellington and I.
