PLOT TWIST TIME :D HAHAHAHA
This will shock you all.. You'll never see it coming ;)
Riker was just sat in the corridor of the hospital looking at Ross, Rydel, Keely and... Oh wait he wasn't looking at Ratliff. He sighed at that. Ratliff should be here with them. Here with Ross. Being the happy couple that they are. But not anymore. Now they are just destroyed. Riker is starting to think he should just force Ross to go back to Ratliff or Ratliff to go back to Ross.
Either way he was going to force them back together, cause deep down Riker knows Ross and Ratliff still love eachother. Maybe he could talk some sense into both if them. One of them at least. Yes. It's going to be difficult talking sense into Ross... but Ratliff should he easy right? Ratliff can see sense pretty easily. Maybe he should try Ratliff first? no. He'll try Ross. Then if all else fails he'll go see Ratliff. (a/n: Haha Keely, Ally, Tony, Nikki & Alesia. Haha)
He got up off the floor and went over to Ross and sat by him "You okay?" Riker asked.
Ross sighed "Yeah.. I guess so.." Ross said.
"Maybe you should go after him." Riker said.
"Who?"
"Ratliff."
"No."
"Why?"
"Cause I don't want to.." Ross said leaning back in his chair a little bit.
"Ross," Riker said looking at him "he's your husband."
"In a few days he won't be.," Ross said "might as well start getting use to it.."
Riker sighed and looked away for a moment. There has to be some way he can talk sense into getting them both back together. "But.. You guys are so perfect for eachother," Riker said looking back at Ross "at the beginning and through your whole relationship.. I've never seen a couple as perfect and happy together as you too.." Riker said, even though it was the beginning of his talk with Ross about his and Ratliff's relationship.
Ross frowned a little bit as things as memories were staring to come back to him about himself and Ratliff.
"You've been through so, so much," Riker continued "managed to get through it.. Said mean things about eachother when you've been in arguments and forgave eachother realizing you were angry and upset.. This time you are both angry. I know you still love eachother. Don't let this destroy your marriage with Ratliff cause of this one thing.." He said, practically almost begging.
Ross sighed "What's done is done Riker..."
"Listen to him," Keely said "you two need to get back together.."
"I don't care.. It's over.. He made that official.." Ross said.
"Ever thought he might want you to fight for him?" Riker asked "I know I would."
Ross looked at Riker confused and a little concerned at what he said. "What do you mean.. by 'You would fight for Ratliff?..." Ross asked.
Riker then realized how that sounded "What?! No! Iw! Not like that! Ratliff's yours not mine!" Riker said a little creeped out by Ross thinking that.
"He's not mine though.. not anymore.." Ross said looking down "thanks for trying to change my mind about this but it's not gonna happen.."
"It is," Riker said "you need to see sense."
"I do see sense and I think this is for the best," Ross said.
"I bet Ratliff see's sense and is realizing right now that you two belong together." Keely piped in. They all looked at her. "Sorry.. I just want them two to get back together.."
Riker looked at Ross "She's right. Ratliff may see sense."
"You go try talking some sense into him then." Ross snapped.
"Maybe I will!" Riker said.
"Go on then!"
"Fine then I will!" Riker said standing up.
"Really? You're going to force us to get back together?" Ross asked in disbelief.
"Yes," Riker said "by the time I've been to see Ratliff, everything will be different." He said.
Riker then realized how much them last four words stuck out to him, but he just ignored it. Because he knows everything will of changed once he's talked to Ratliff. Cause Ross and Ratliff will be back as normal. He knows it.
But he just can't feel it.
He doesn't know why he can't feel it either.
Maybe Ross is right. Ross and Ratliff are basically destroyed now..
Riker shook his head and made his way to Ratliff's in the hope he could fix everything.
After Riker had left, Rydel decided she needed some fresh air too just to think a little. Ross and Ratliff. How could they just decide to end things together just like that. Were they thinking right? No they weren't.
At the start when Rydel found out about Ross and Ratliff's relationship she wasn't thrilled because she still loved Ratliff from when they had that little fling going on. But then Noah came along and he changed all that for her. Made her fall deep in love with him. But then he began to abuse her and rape her which changed everything.
Now that Noah was back.. Rydel didn't know whether to give him one last chance or not.
So she has.
Rydel and Noah are back to dating. She's happy. But.. She's just seeing how it's gonna go. Ryan's not exactly thrilled about it because of how he knows what Noah done to his Mom. He basically hates Noah. Riker, Ross, Ratliff, Rocky and Keely don't know yet. She has a feeling when they do they're not gonna like it.
Rocky could of basically killed Noah if he continued to beat the crap out of him that night.
Rydel was then pulled out of her thoughts when she heard a voice "Rydel?"
She turned around "Dominic?!" Rydel said surprised, yet smiling "what are you doing here?!" She asked before hugging him, pulling away and smiling.
"Visiting my Mom," Dominic said "she took badly. What are you doing here?"
"My brother Rocky," Rydel frowned as tears came to her eyes once more "He got shot and the doctor's don't think he's going to make it.." She then let the tears fall and began to sob.
Dominic's heart literally broke for Rydel right there and he took her into his arms to comfort her "I am so sorry Delly," Dominic said kissing her head "I'm sure he'll make it.. I know he will." Rydel wrapped her arms around Dominic's waist as she cried. She'd been waiting to long to let her emotions out to cry.
Noah knew where Rydel was since she had told him about Rocky and how she just wanted to focus on him and support Rocky so Noah understood that fully. But when he turned the corner to see Rydel with some other guy.. He felt angry a little bit. Then he realized Rydel would never do anything to cheat, he's probably a friend.
Then they hugged and Dominic kissed her head. Noah decided to let that go a little.. Until..
Dominic pulled from the hug and looked at Rydel "Dell.. I know it's been absolutely years since we were together," Dominic said as he cupped her face with one of his hands "but I haven't stopped thinking about you ever.."
Rydel smiled a little, but with tears still streaming down her face "That's sweet.." She said "but.. I have a boyfriend. Noah."
"The guy who raped you and attacked you?"
Rydel nodded sadly "Him." Her voice cracked.
"How could you be with someone like him?" Dominic asked looking at Rydel sadly. He was hurt at the fact somebody could do something like that to poor sweet Rydel and get away with it. Then date her all over again. It made him sick.
"C-cause.." Rydel said "I like giving people second chances.. This is his second and final chance.."
Dominic shook his head at Rydel "Y-you don't love him like that Rydel.." Dominic said.
"I do."
"You don't.."
"I do!" she raised her voice.
"Then tell me," Dominic said moving his hand to the back of her neck "that you love him after this." He then pulled Rydel in and kissed her on the lips.
Noah knows that Rydel won't accept this. She'll pull away and tell Dominic no. Boy was he wrong.
They pulled away. "Well?" Dominic asked.
Rydel then pulled his face down and crashed her lips onto his as Dominic slid his hands around Rydel's waist, she kept her arms around his neck.
Noah felt anger rise up inside of him. He wanted to go up there and punch the daylights out of Dominic and show Rydel that she was Noah's. Nobody else's. His. But he knew raping her or abusing her again wouldn't do anything. But what could he do to get back at her?
Then he figured something out. Something that would crush Rydel forever.
Go pull the plug on Rocky's life support machine and let him die.
Perfect plan.
Riker has never been so nervous trying to get a couple back together in his entire life. He's got couples back together before.. But this time it just seemed different.
He approached the front door of Ross and what use to be Ratliff's house. He knocked on the door. But no answer. Done it again. NO answer.
Riker sighed. He's gone... Riker thought.
As he turned around to walk away the door opened. He turned to see Ratliff stood there, the look on Ratliff's face. It was full of hurt, anger and sadness. Riker frowned at the sight of that "I was gonna ask if you were okay.." Riker said "but.. I know the answer now."
Ratliff nodded.
"Can I come in?" Riker asked. Ratliff nodded before letting Riker come into the house.
Riker entered the house, Ratliff shut the door. Both of them then walked into the livingroom.
"Do you wanna talk?" Riker asked.
Ratliff shook his head "No, I-I'm fine.." Ratliff said trying to fake smile, but Riker never bought it. He could see right through him.
Riker sighed "I know," Riker said with a small frown "its hard.. Loosing someone you love."
Ratliff nodded "it is.." Ratliff said as he sat down on the couch "but how would you know? You've never had a horrible break up like this.."
"No," Riker said as he sat beside Ratliff "but.. When Laura left when she was pregnant with Germaine and I didn't know about it.. It hurt. Two years later she came back. I was the happiest guy alive."
"Your not helping me Riker." Ratliff said.
"Sorry.." Riker said "but when Laura died.. Gosh.. I didn't know what to do with myself.. Its been three weeks Ratliff.. I still don't know what to do with myself.." He said beginning to feel himself choke up a little "I still don't.. I'm lost without her.." He said as he felt tears to his eyes. But he just wiped them away. "I haven't been thinking straight without her.. Your probably not gonna think straight without Ross.."
Ratliff sighed. He knew Riker was right. Just a tiny bit. But he also felt selfish at the fact he was acting like this when Riker is the one who is hurting the most and needs comfort and support more than Ratliff and Ross do. Everyone should be feeling sorry for Riker and trying to fix him.. Not feeling sorry for Ratliff and Ross. That's the least of everyone's worries.
Ratliff scooted over closer to Riker "I am so sorry Riker," Ratliff said as he put his hand on his shoulder "I shouldn't even be dragging attention towards me. This Laura situation has hit you like a tun of bricks," He said looking at Riker "everyone should be feeling sorry for you.. Not me. I mean.. Your wife died. I just split up with my husband. Dying is more important then splitting up. I'm sorry dude."
Riker smiled at Ratliff a little "Thanks.." Riker said as he turned his head to Ratliff also, not realizing Ratliff had scooted closer to Riker. Riker didn't even realize how close Ratliff had gotten to Riker, so when he turned his head to face Ratliff that's when he realized. Making their faces only inches apart.. Maybe even centimeters. Causing them to look at eachother in the eyes, closer and deeper than ever before in their whole time knowing eachother "I.. Er.. I um.." Riker stumbled for words.
"You don't have to.. Er. Thank me for anything.." Ratliff said almost stumbling for words too.
Riker nodded "T-thank you for at least trying to understand me in this Laura situation," Riker smiled just an inch or two "it means a lot."
Ratliff smiled too "Hey, what kind of a bestfriend would I be if I wasn't there for you?"
"You've always been there for me.."
Ratliff nodded "That's because I care about you."
"Well, I care about you too." Riker replied almost instantly.
Ratliff then moved his hand from Riker's shoulder up to his neck before pulling him in and kissing him on the lips. Not like he wanted to.. There was just something inside of him that told him to do it. Or forced him too. The way they were both looking at eachother and close. He just had to do it. It was the perfect time if he says so himself.
Riker was shocked Ratliff done that. Sure they were close together with faces inches apart, but did Ratliff have to take it that step further?
Ratliff pulled away when he realized what the fuck he just did "I am so sorry Riker!" Ratliff said beginning to apologize over and over. He cannot believe he just did that. Of everything in the world he's done.. This has to be the most idiotic thing ever.
Riker didn't even respond. He didn't have to. Riker just grabbed his face and pulled him in where he crashed his lips back onto Ratliff's.
Were they thinking straight? no.
Was Ross going to kill Riker for this? Yes.
Ratliff had no other intention but to deepen the kiss and wrap his arms around Riker and Riker done the same.
Riker was right after all.
Everything would be different after this.
Sorry Rosslington shippers. I was just on Twitter thinking about this story.. & I was thinking "I need to come up with a shocking plot twist or something cause this story is getting boring" then this hit me.
