21. Chapter 21

Hey everyone, I hope you like this, please review!

'That was three years ago. I loved her more than anybody and she just broke my heart. To be honest if I didn't know you well then I would worry that you would
do the same to Ross.' He said.
'What? NO… I'm sorry Riker. Do you ever think about her now?' I asked.
'Sometimes. But I think that she wasn't good for me anyway.' He said.
'Whats her name?' I asked and Ross replied
'Bridget.' He said. (did anyone think it was Mel?)
'I'm sorry Riker.' I said and hugged him. He hugged me back and when we let go I saw a shadow of jelously on Ross' face. I laughed in my head. Ross is jelous?
Everyone then sat down and I took out some sweets out of our picknic bag. We also had chips.
'I'm going to try and be happy for them.' Riker said and I smiled. We ate and I suddenly asked. I wanted to change the subject.
'How come not everyone of you signs posters for sale?' I asked.
'How do you know that Mel?' Ross asked teasing.
'Well I was looking at your website. So how come?' I asked.
'Ross and Ratliff are busy and not generous enough. We sign hundrets of copies every week. Sometimes months.' Riker said.
'Ross you should sign them.' I said.
'But I'm usually really busy.' He explained.
'I'm doing a favour to your fans. They asked me to arrange that. Ratliff and YOU.' I said and giggled.
'They want Ratliff and me to sing posters?' He asked.
'Yes! And it's not suprising. They were begging me Ross.' That made everyone laugh. 'This girl already had the other three posters. She wanted all five. And guess
what… She asked me if things with me will be avaible for sale!' I said really excited.
'Wow cool! We need to get you a website after the tour. For now we can put things on our one.' Ross said. As soon as he said that, we saw Ratliff and Rydel walking
over to us. We didn't say sat down and Rydel wispered into my ear.
'Hey. How come nobody is teasing? Did you not realise?' She asked.
'Did you want us to tease you? And yes we did see.' I said laughing.
'Well no. But in my mind I could see Riker being mad. He is very over protective. It's because of his past girlfriend.' She said.
'Not in your mind. He got angry but we stopped him. We had a talk and he told me about Bridget. And in the end said that he is happy for you.' I told her and she smiled.
'If you don't mind.. I'm going over to Ratliff. I feel so amazing. Before I still felt warm around him and it was so wonderfu but now that I know he feels the
same way… I am so happy!' She said. I smiled at her.
'So you know how I feel about Ross.' I said and she nodded happily, and went over to Ratliff. They were holding hands. I smiled at them.

Rydel's POV
I was with Ratliff but I saw Riker kind of down. I decided to talk to him.
'Hey Riker, can I talk to you?' I asked and he took my hand and stood up. We went over to the bench and sat down.

Ross' POV
Rydel and Riker went somewhere and we all stayed sitting down on the blanket. Melanie looked up at me and smiled, so I did too. Rydel came back quickly and Riker
seemed calm. We stayed at the lake until it was four and it was time to go to the restaurant we booked to celebrate Melanie's Birthday. We were going to have
quite small dinner and then a cake and other treats. We packed our things, and I gently, as always picked Melanie up. I carried her into the car and we sat together.
'Will you tell me where we are going?' She asked. I looked over at Rydel and she gave me a -youcantellhernow- look. I smiled and said.
'We booket a restaurant so we could celebrate your birthday.' I said and her eyes widened and her lips formed a smile.
'What? Thats great! But I'm paying for all of you.' She said. 'It's my bithday.' She said.
'Exacly. That's why we are paying.' Rydel said.
'No… that's not fair. You already gave me presents.' Melanie said.
'Are you kidding me?" I looked at her and she gave me the look. 'We payed. It's sorted. You can't do anything.' I said and chuckled.
'You didn't have to.' She said.
'Course we did.' Rydel said and Mel rolled her eyes. We talked a bit on the ride and when we reached the restaurant Melanie gasped.
'Awww! I know this place! Thanks so much!' She said. And then we saw them. Fans. A lot of them. How could be get through them?
'Oh gosh.' Rydel said. 'We can't sign that many autographs. And It's Melanie's birthday. She is more important. We need to get through them. But I don't want to
be mean.' She said.
'Give them meet and greet tickets so they can meet us later.' Riker said and Rydel took out tickets from their bag.
'They can hurt her.' Ratliff said. 'Put them somewhere, and tell them about it.'
'But then they will hurt themselves.' Riker said.
'Fine!' Rocky said. 'I'll give them the tickets and meet you inside.' He said. We nodded and tried to get out of the car. There were not only fans here.
Lots of paparazzi. I picked up Mel and she put her arms around my neck and put her head on my chest so she didn't have to be bothered by them. I put my arms
protectively around her and tried to get inside. Ratlif and Riker were protecting Rydel.
'Are you dating?!' Someone screamed into my ear. 'Why? She is so ugly!' A reporter said.
'Back off, you will hurt her leg! And do not call her ugly! In fact, she is the most beautiful girl I know!' I said and looked at Rydel -Love you- I mouthed
and she lauged. Melanie cuddled closer into my chest but the reporter kept talking
'You will get bored of her one day. She is a nobody!' She kept saying.
'Actually, she is my best friend, now let us go.' I said.
'When will you realise that she is way to stupid for you! Look how many beautiful, smart girls you can have. Look at them!' She said.
'Pick me pick me!' The fans shouted and I had to ignore them. I pushed through and managed to enter the restaurant. The doors were closed because we made sure
that there would be nobody apart from us. We had to pay extra but it was worth it. Melanie was still clinging onto me. We sat down by a table and she was on my lap.
She didn't look up.
'We'll be back.' I said and carried her into the bathroom. I sat her down or a desk by a sink so I could hug her tighter.
'Mel,' I started. 'It's your birthday. Don't get upset about them. Never get upset about them. They don't mean anything.' I said snd I could feel her shoulders
shake as she was crying. She didn't reply to me.
'Look, it doesn't matter what they say. They can't change anything.' I said and smoothed her hair.
'Don't cry Mel, look up at me.' I said, and let go off her slightly, but she was still holding onto me. I gave up and hugged her again.
'Mel..' I wispered into her ear. Gradually her shaking stopped and it seemed that she was better.

Rydel's POV
'I'm going to see what's wrong!' I said, but Riker stopped me.
'Don't go, wait until it's over. They need to figure it out by themselves this time. It was about them.' He said.
'You should stay here.' Ratlif said. I gave in, and we waited for them.

Melanie's POV
I managed to stop crying but I was still hugging Ross. He stopped talking and just hugged me back. I had my eyes closed and relaxed against him. Great, I bet my
make up is ruined and my eyes are red. My hair is probably messed up too. And it's all because of me crying. But I couldn't help it, the reporter just made me so upset.
It's not my fault I fell in love with Ross. Lots of girls did. But I didn't fall for the things that other girls might. I fell for the Ross I knew all along.
And Ross cares about me too, doesn't he? It's still hard to believe… Can't they just get on with their life? And not mess with ours?

Ross' POV
'Mel, are you okay?' I asked her and felt her nod against me. I slowly pulled away so I could see her propelly.
'I'm sorry Ross' She said and looked down.
'What? No I'm sorry! They would never say these things if it wasn't my fault.' I explained and she shook her head.
'I'm the one always making fuss about stupid things and I keep ruining everything. I'm really sorry.' She said and tears rolled down her cheeks. 'See?' She asked
me and I came closer to her. I wrapped my arm around her waist and wiped her tears away.
'Don't say that. You are just delicate, it's okay to cry. We are not blaming you for everything. And I feel responsible for what they say to you. Sorry. Just
try to ignore them, they don't know what they are saying.' I said and she smiled. Finally.
'Thanks for trying to protect me. And for your support.' She told me and I smiled and said
'Thats what I'm here for, isn't it?' And then we looked into eachothers eyes, and leaned in, but Rydel came in so I pulled her into a quick hug instead and we let
go blushing.
'Mel, what's wrong?' Rydel asked and ran up to hug her.
'I just.. got a little upset.' Melanie said and hugged her back.
'What happened?' She asked.
'People outside. It's easy to guess…' I inturrupted. 'But it's all okay now.' I said.

Melanie' POV
We explained everything to Rydel and then I fixed my hair, washed my face and make up and basicly made sure I looked tidy and like if nothing happened.
'Mel it's okay, you look beautiful, lets go. I'm hungry.' Ross said and I giggled.
'Thank you and fine, I'm done now.' He picked me up and walked over to the table. Everyone gave questioned looks.
'I'm sorry, I just..' I started and didn't know what to say so Ross finished for me.
'Melanie got upset because people outside were being very unsupportive and rude. And I mean very rude.' He said and Riker nodded.
'But it's all fine?' He asked and I nodded
'Yes' I said quietly.
'Come one Mel, it doesn't matter what they say, you know what and who you are and this is not how people should treat you. You deserve better.' Rydel said.
'It's your birthday, so try not to think about it. Lets order some food. We paid for a choice between these in this menu.' Riker said and gave me a meniu. I took
it and read though the foods in there.
'They are not main main foods, because a- there will be a cake and b- Ross is taking you somewhere for supper later.' Riker said. I looked up.
'You are?' I asked, and Ross smiled and then said
'It was supposed to be a SUPRISE Riker….' But Riker shrugged and went back to looking through the menu.
'You don't have to take me anywhere, Ross.' I said quietly.
'But I want to. Please?' He said and I giggled.
'Are you asking for permission?' I asked and he nodded and used his puppy dog eyes. 'Not the puppy Ross!' I said laughing. 'Yes, I say yes.' I told him, and he smiled.
I put me head on his shoulder and I saw people taking photos from outside. There were glass windows. It was on the other side of the restaurant but that didn't stop
them. Ross saw me looking and said
'Ignore them Mel. It's your day, not theirs. It will be fine. Whatever they say, it doesn't matter, okay?' He asked and I replied with a simple okay and
chose my food. We ordered some food and I finally relaxed.
'Haha! I remember that!' Rydel said.
'Remember what?' I asked and she replied quickly.
'Rocky reminded me of the time when Ratliff first met you. We were at a movie premiere with him and then we also invited you because we wanted you to meet eachother.
I was so nervous that you wont like each other! We all talked about the whole day before we invited you both.' She said.
'Really? Why were you nervous?' I asked her.
'Because you are my best friend and.. well I wanted you to like him because if you didn't then it would be strange.. plus I liked him.' She said and blushed.
'Awwww.' I said and everybody laughed. Then Rydel and Ratliff carried on talking and I talked with Riker and Ross.
'I can't wait to hear more of your songs Mel. How many do you have left? You showed us like thirteen already.' Riker said.
'A few.' I said and smiled. Ross looked over and smiled at me too.
'We need to think more about the shows soon. Preparation, rehelsals and work. But it's fun.' He said.
'And btw, when are we getting the cake? I already ate this and I am still hungry.' He added and I rolled my eyes. We all decided to have the cake and I was going
to blow candles. Rydel filmed a lot of things and took photos; she wanted to add them to R5 TV. I closed my eyes and wished hard. I wanted to wish for my leg,
but I decided that there was something more important. I thought of Ross and I instantly smiled. I knew what I cared about the most. Then I blew the candles out, and
everyone started singing happy birthday. Ratliff happily joined in, and Rydel giggled. I looked over at them and couldn't help but smile. Who I saw were
my best friends, people I could count on and most importantly my family. And I couldn't help but notice that close to heart best friend Rydel and that special
boy Ross, who makes me smile everyday. Well maybe Ross can't be compared to Rydel because he is special in a different way but.. well.. anyway…

Then we ate the cake. Oh and btw It said Happy 17th Birthday Mel (yes I am a bit older than Ross) on it. It was chocolately and the writing was in caramel! It also had to
have a lot of pink obviously.. And what made me smile even more was that it had a yellow rose on it. I knew Ross chose that. I just knew it. I looked up and he
smiled at me. It seemed like he was reading my thoughts. I hope not. The cake was delicious, the chocolate melted in my mouth and the fruits made it fresh and not
too sweet. I took of the rose and put it on a separate plate. It was too beautiful to just eat it now. I have to say, this looked like my best birthday ever, even thought
the incident before. We chatted, and really had so much fun. I even stopped to notice the people outside taking pictures. Whenever me and Ross or Rydel and Ratliff moved
closer (and I mean literally even when we were just sitting close and talking and smiling) I saw the camera flashes straight away. But it didn't bother me. Ross
told me to ignore them so I did, and it payed off. The only problem is that people are against our relationship that doesn't even exist. We never talked about this
propelly. I don't want to be in a relationship. I don't want to be in an akward 'Will you go out with me?' situation. I want us to be like we are now. Whatever
you call it.

Ross' POV
We had an awesome time together at Mel's Birthday, I was so happy that we booked this restaurant. The photographers, paparazzi and fans were slightly bothering me
because although I love my fans a lot, I love Melanie more. Damn, that sounded so cheesy. I guess love changes you. OMG! It really did change me… No worries
Ross.. just stay chilled…. But I can't! Not when the most beautiful girl is sitting right next to me.

Melanie's POV
I wonder what he was thinking about. And by he I mean Ross. He must have been daydreaming because he didn't answer Ryland's question.
'Ross?' Ryland said and Ross looked like he woke up from his dream.
'What?' He asked calmly.'What have you been daydreaming again Ross, and be honest…' Rikier asked laughing.
'What? Oh right nothing important.' He said.
'Wrong move.' Rydel said. 'Melanie is important.' She said and I started going red.
'Hey leave us alone Rydel and… keep your remarks to yourself… and Ratliff.' Ross answered rather rudely.
'Ross!' I said. But I couldn't help but giggle.
'Can we talk about something else?' He asked and we nodded.
'So now Melanie is older than you.' Riker said.
'Yes I am.' I added.
'What does that mean?' Ross asked worried.
'Nothing!' I said laughing. 'Riker is just messing around.' I said, and then added 'And will stop.' And gave him a look. He backed away.
'Why is everybody scared of me?' I asked and Ross chuckled.
'I'm not.' He said and I gave him a look.
'Well you should be.' I said and we started laughing. We all had an amazing time. To be honest whatever we were doing, they would still make me laugh and I loved it.

Did you notice the thing I did? I wanted to make people think Riker liked Mleanie but I don't think it worked.. OH Well..

ATTENTION

DRAMA IN THE NEXT CHAPTER

VVVVVV

And I just hoped that we could get through without people being hurt. But I was wrong.
Someone bashed right against my leg and I felt huge amount of pain. It was unberable. I don't know what happened exacly, but I could feel blood. Everything went black
'Ross..' I managed to say.

AND THIS

'Are they…. making you feel.. pressured?' He asked so I looked into his eyes, sitting up slightly.
'A bit… But that doesn't mean anything.' I told him and he relaxed. We looked into each others eyes again, and it felt like we both didn't want to look away.
Our gazez melted together, and we wouldn't stop if Ross didn't break the silence. His voice was quiet and unsteady.
'Will you cuddle with me?' He asked me and I lied down next to him, and he put his arm around me. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep against his chest.

SO WHOS EXCITED? ME ME ME

And btw I will probably write a sequel after this story. You can expect about 30 chapters in this one. Im not sure yet though.
