Chapter 12
Me and Ratliff were both sat in the hospital waiting for a doctor to come out to tell us the news and if they had managed to revive Rydel. They said on the way to the hospital they might have a chance.. But it was very unlikely that she would be brought back to life. No matter how many times they shocked the life back into her or got the bullet out from where it had shot her. It probably wouldn't work.
I hadn't even bothered to call Riker, Rocky, Ryland or my parents to tell them about Rydel cause no doubt they'd come up here and make a scene. I am barely being able to keep it together now, imagine what I'd be like when they come down. That's why I am hoping like hell that they revived Rydel and I don't have to announce my sisters death to my family and the world. Though I am pretty sure the paparazzi got a picture of her bleeding to death on the floor next to me and Ratliff.
Oh crap.
They might of took pictures. Oh no. They could be up on the internet! The fans are gonna go crazy! Riker's gonna go on rage mode as well as Rocky! Mom and Dad are gonna loose it and I'm going to get my head cut off. This is not good.
Why didn't the paparazzi just take a video of the full thing happening?
Ratliff put his arm around me and brought me in closer to his body comfortingly. It's a good thing we were in a private waiting room otherwise people would be giving us funny looks. I snuggled myself into him for more comfort which he gladly gave me. "It's gonna be okay.." Ratliff said "she'll be fine."
"What if she doesn't live Ratliff?" I asked him like some lost child would. Gosh I must sound so pathetic right now.
Ratliff just stayed silent. He probably doesn't know what to say if Rydel does die. I mean, c'mon.. They've been bestfriends for absolute years. Since day one when they met. I'm pretty sure if me and Ratliff didn't start dating Rydellington - as the fans call them - would of happened if he and Kelly broke up. I'm 100% sure.
All of a sudden, Ratliff's phone buzzed in his pocket causing us both to jump. I pulled away from him as he dug into his pocket to get it out. When he looked down at his phone, I saw immediately that something was wrong. He frowned, his face turned to worry and the colour in his face drained. Now I began to panic.
"Ratliff.. What's wrong?" I asked.
Ratliff turned his phone screen to me where he had Twitter up. His mentions were flooding like a river about Rydel and earlier. I knew this would happen! I knew the paparazzi would of taken a photo! Shit. Shit. Fucking shit.

ratliffR5 IS SHE DEAD!
ratliffR5 PLEASE TELL ME SHE IS OKAY!

Well one thing is for sure, if that fan never tagged Riker and Rocky into that tweet then everything would of been okay. But now I have a feeling me or Ratliff are about to receive a text or a harsh phone call. IN...

*ring ring* What did I say?
I looked down to my phone and saw..
caller ID: Riker Lynch
"I don't really want to answer.." I said before clicking the reject button, sending it straight to voice mail.
"You lied to me.." Riker said "you said that your phone never had reception in the hospital so the call never came through. You lied!"
"Yeah, yeah, build a bridge and get over it Riker, it's in the past now." I said as if it was nothing. Which it wasn't nothing. I mean lying about getting a phone call or you sister being shot to her death.. Which ones worse? Exactly.
"Can he continue now cause I wanna hear the rest of this." Laura said looking up to Riker.
"You've heard it before though." Riker said.
"I don't care, I wanna hear it again," Laura said smiling to him "now sit down, shut up and listen. OR leave and go to the cafeteria where everyone else is."
Riker shrugged "I'm getting thirsty anyways I'm going for a drink," He said making his way to the door "coming Rocky?"
Rocky huffed "Ye- No.." He shook his head "I'm staying."
"Suit yourself." Riker said before leaving the room.
Rocky and Laura then turned their heads to me "What..?"
"Continue." Rocky said.
"Oh yeah right."
Five times in a row Riker had tried to call me and all those times I clicked the reject button leaving it all go straight to voice mail. Rocky, Ryland, Mom and Dad tried calling me also and I just clicked the reject button.
Rocky went to go say something "Don't bother Rocky." I cut in before he could say anything.
We waited for ages and none of the doctors had came out to tell us anything about Rydel. I was starting to think that maybe me and Ratliff should just take it as a sign that they got Rydel back alive and are trying to get the bullet out of her. Cause they wouldn't take this long to tell us? Would they? It would be some kind of miracle if they did.
As I sat back in my chair my phone began to ring, I went into my pocket and took it out.
Caller ID: Laura Marano
Why would she be calling me? No doubt her mentions probably blew up about Rydel being shot. God. I can't reject the call either because that will make her even more worried then she already is. I sighed before clicking the answer button. "H-hello?" I said, my voice sounding shaky.
"R-Ross.. I-is it true?" Laura asked, she sounded like she was crying "everyone on Twitter keeps on sending me photo's of her on the floor bleeding to death.. Is she alive? Is she okay?"
I took a deep breath "I don't know Laura.." I said as my voice came out a octave higher with sadness "nobody's came out to say anything... But she was.." I paused, as I began to feel a lump in my throat "she was dead before we got her too the hospital.. But the doctors said they'd try revive her.. It's been two hours now.."
"O-okay... Ross I'm gonna come down the-" She got cut off.
"Ross! Why didn't you call me when this happened!" Riker yelled down the phone as he snatched the phone off Laura.
Well shit. She could of pre-warned me she was with Riker. Now I have to answer to the boss man. Otherwise he will kick my ass.
"Cause.. I didn't know what to do.. I was in panic mode.." I said, trying not to cry. A doctor then came through the door "Listen Riker. I need to go a Doctor is here. Right. K. Bye." I said before hanging up.
Me and Ratliff looked towards the doctor. The doctor sighed before a frown came upon his face. He didn't need to go any further to tell us what's happened. Ratliff just put his arm around me and brought me in close to him again.
"I am so sorry.." The doctor said sadly "we got the bullet out after we managed to revive her," I looked at him, they revived her? "but then.. After the bullet got taken out her life line went flat again and that time there was no hope in reviving her. I am so sorry but.. She's dead."
That was it. That's all that needed to be said before tears came pouring down my face like Niagara Falls.
"I'll leave you alone for now.." The Doctor said before leaving the room.
Ratliff wrapped his other arm around me as I continued to cry, he even let a few tears come out of his eyes himself "It's okay Ross," Ratliff said, trying not to loose it with tears himself "everything will be fine. I promise."
Ratliff pulled up in the drive way to my house. I didn't want to go in there. Everyone's cars were on the drive way. The van, Riker's, Rocky's... Even Laura's was. The car me and Ratliff were in was Rydel's seen as though she'd drove it to where she unfortunately met her end. I didn't want to go in there and tell them all that their only daughter, baby sister, big sister, bestfriend was dead. I didn't want to have that responsibility.
"I think we should get out before they notice we're here.." Ratliff said as he put his hand on top of mine. I just nodded.
Both of us walked up the driveway slowly before we got to the door. I put my door on the handle ready to open it. I wasn't ready to go in there and tell them. I didn't want to. Ratliff rubbed my back and pushed the door handle down for me. "It's better to get it over and done with now rather than later.." Ratliff said. I nodded. Both of us walked into the house.
I shut the door and tried my best to be quiet as possible. But it didn't work because Riker, Rocky and Laura came out to the passage way. "Well? Where is she?" Riker asked.
"Is she okay?" Rocky asked "can we go see her at the hospital?"
"Sure," I said as tears came out of my eyes "sure you can. Unless you wanna go see her dead body.."
"W-w-w-what..?" Laura asked shocked as her voice and face grew with sadness.
"She's.. She's er.. Dead.. She died.." Ratliff said "doctor's said they tried everything but.. Nothing."
Riker ran his hands through his hair, by the looks of it tightly because of the way he winced a little bit. He then picked up his car keys before grabbing his jacket.
"Riker. What are you doing?" Rocky asked.
"I'm gonna go find the little bastard and kill the fuck whoever killed my sister!" He said angrily going to the door.
"Riker no!" Laura said jumping in front of him, her eyes were full of tears which came out very slowly and rolled down her cheeks one by one "p-please don't... You could do something you regret.. It'll cost you e-everything.."
"The guy who just shot Rydel dead just costed us R5.."
"Not necessarily!" Laura said "you guys can still go on as R5! Well... R4... But still R5! Please don't give up!"
Riker sighed before nodding "Fine.."
"Just take me home..Please?" She asked. Riker nodded before opening the door, both of them left.
Rocky sighed before wiping his eyes, he didn't want to cry in front of us. He's never cried in front of us "I-I'll go tell Mom, Dad and Ryland.." Rocky said before walking back into the livingroom, shutting the door behind him.
I sighed.
Why did I feel like my life was about to get even worse than it already is?
Yup. You all probably thought I was going to do a plot twist and make Rydel stay alive... NoPe. Sowwwy... I was.. But then I figured.. Maybe not. So.. Sorry!
Review please! :D More you review, the more faster the chapter comes!
