Chapter 21

1 Year & 81 Days

Another month had gone by of practically the same thing happening over and over.

Rydel still not telling Connor about the baby, Ross missing Brad and vice versa, Rocky and Ellington continuing their little 'fling' behind Kelly's back and Laura recovering from her operation – even though she had pretty much fully recovered by now and was back to the same old Laura she was before. She'd started going out more with everybody else, but was still careful with everything that she did incase she put too much stress on herself.

The day that Ross had came into the living room bothering Ellington, Riker and Rocky about wanting a hug when they knew the real reason, Riker did what he said he was going to do. Make sure Ross bought a plane ticket to England and didn't come back for a very long while. But he couldn't get one for that day so he decided to buy him one that meant he had to leave today.

This was going to be great. Getting up at 5am to catch a flight between 6:30 and 7. not that Ross wasn't use to getting up at early hours like that. You know, with R5 and when he use to film Austin & Ally.

Ross was making sure that he had everything that he needed that he failed to notice Rydel standing in the doorway. He jumped out of his skin when he looked in the mirror and saw her reflection. "Jesus, Rydel, don't do that to me," He whispered, walking over to the door as Ryland was asleep in his bed "what do you want?" he asked.

Rydel shrugged "Just came to offer you a lift. Hence why I'm dressed."

Ross went to go protest but Rydel beat him to it "Actually, it's not an offer it's more of a I am giving you a lift whether you like it or not. We need to talk."

"What about?" he asked.

Rydel moved away from the door and didn't give him a response, because she knows if she talks to him about it now they'll wake up the whole house arguing about it as she knows Ross will not agree to it what so ever. "I'll be in the car." She called, walking downstairs.

Ross watched as Rydel left. He quickly threw the last remaining bits he needed in his suitcase and zipped it up quickly before leaving the room and following Rydel downstairs.

He threw the suitcase into the boot of the car and jumped in the front, expecting Rydel to talk to him then but no. The entire car journey to the airport consisted of mainly silence and Rydel asking questions like 'what are you going to do when you get there?' etc, etc, etc. At that point he started to get annoyed because it was like she was trying to avoid what she wanted to talk about.

Then they started pulling into the airport. "Alright, what did you want to talk to me about before in the bedroom?" Ross asked.

Rydel sighed, gripping tighter on the steering wheel as she suddenly became more unsure about this "Um.. I want you to do me a favour whilst you're in England."

"What is it?"

"You're going to see Brad, right? So therefore you're obviously going to see Connor-"

"Oh, no," Ross said, shaking his head "hell no. I'm not telling him for you Rydel, you got yourself into this mess and it's your job to tell him not me."

"But-"

"But nothing, Rydel," Ross cut her off, not wanting to have this conversation with her "it's your job not mine. If you didn't get yourself into this and had came to me, Riker, Rocky or Ellington first and not Connor you wouldn't be in this mess." he said, starting to raise his voice.

Rydel jumped as Ross's voice got louder and probably more audible for people walking by "A-alright, Ross. Lower your voice." she said, making her voice quieter.

Ross sighed, calming himself down "Alright, sorry. But if it makes it any easier, I'll get him to call you or something later on when I get there, okay?" he asked, Rydel nodded as she pulled into the entrance of the airport "great. Now, I'll see you in a month."

Rydel smiled a little "Have fun."

Ross waved at her as he got out the car "I will."

I know this chapter is really short, but I needed to give you all something without leaving it.

& I think I'm gonna do what I did with TLJ & do a huge time-skip to the next major thing that happens so the story moves along faster and that I don't get bored with this story & end up deleting it if you get me? Would you guys be okay with that? There's no real major things that happen between now & the next major thing anyway so yeah.

Okay, bc this chapter was so short I'm gonna 5 REVIEWS OR MORE IF YOU WANT THE NEXT ONE.
