I don't own anything recognizable.

Ten months later...

"Riker, Rydel, Rocky, Ryland, Rachel, Riley, breakfast is ready!" Stormie called as she set the plates down.

"Mom, you don't have to call Riley. She doesn't even understand." Rydel said as she walked down the stairs, carrying Riley on one arm and holding Rachel's hand on the other.

Stormie chuckled. "Sorry honey, I forgot about that."

Rydel smiled and walked over to the table, sitting Riley down on the baby chair.

"Hey mom, hey del." Ryland yawned as he walked downstairs too. "What's for breakfast?"

"Waffles." Stormie answered.

"Yay, waffles!" Rachel cheered.

"Are Riker and Rocky up yet?" Rydel asked.

Ryland shrugged. "I don't know. They have their own room." Then he frowned. "My room still feels empty without Ross. I still can't believe he's dead now."

"He's not." A voice stated from behind Ryland. Everyone turned that way to see Riker.

"Rik, why are you still denying that? I mean, it's been almost a year." Rydel stated.

"Because it's the truth." Riker answered. "The police still haven't found his body, which means he might still be alive."

"'Might' doesn't mean he is, Riker. Get over it. You saw him die, you know it. I know you're blaming yourself and you're just denying it so that you feel better but dude, just stop." Ryland said.

"Look, I don't care what you guys think, but I know Ross is still alive and he's out there." Riker said. Then, he added in his thoughts, Alone, suffering, scared, crying for help.

"Hey del, are the girls coming over today?" Ryland asked randomly. They were watching TV as Rachel and Riley were asleep in Rydel's room and Riker was in his and Rocky's room and Rocky was taking a shower.

"Yup." Rydel nodded. "Well, if you mean Lily and Sky."

"How about Laura and Ally? And Maggie?" Ryland asked.

Rydel shook her head. "They're gonna go shopping, then they'll only come here for dinner."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Rydel got up to open it, but Rocky came bolting downstairs, with his hair still wet, meaning he just finished his shower and just got dressed.

"I'll open it!" Rocky said and Rydel sat back down.

"Someone can't wait to see his girlfriend." Rydel muttered to Ryland, who snickered.

Rocky opened the door and there stood Skylar and Lillian. "Hey!" They greeted.

"Hey." Rocky greeted back and let them in. He put his arm around Skylar's waist and pulled her close.

"Rocky, you're gonna get me wet!" Skylar whined.

Rocky chuckled. "I'm not that wet, babe."

Lillian rolled her eyes playfully as she watched the two, then turned towards Rydel and Ryland. "Hey guys, where's Riker?"

"Upstairs in his bedroom." Ryland answered.

"Let me guess, a conversation brought Ross up and he got upset?" Lillian asked.

"Something like that." Rydel answered. "I don't know why he won't get over it."

Lillian shrugged. "I don't blame him. I mean, he's the oldest sibling, so he felt like he had to protect you guys, and he failed. If anything happens to Sky or Ally, I'd blame myself and probably be like him." She smiled at them before walking up the stairs.

A figure in a hoodie stood a few yards away from the Lynch house, and held him telescope. The door was open, and it could see Rocky and Skylar being all cute together, and Rydel and Ryland still watching the TV. It took its camera, zoomed in, and then snapped the pictures of them for the third time that month. Yes, he took pictures of them every week, and right now was the third week of the month.

"Hey, what do you wanna eat?" Laura asked.

"Subway or Wendy's sounds good." Alyssa shrugged.

"Yeah, sounds good to me too." Maggie agreed. You see, for this past ten months, Maggie turned from bad girl to good girl, although her sass didn't disappear. Everyone figured that after learning how to control her personality change, she and Maddie turned into one.

"Okay, so we'll have Wendy's." Laura smiled as they walked towards the food court.

They went to order and then sat down at one corner, which was away from the other tables, just in case if someone recognized Laura. Although, it would be quite hard due to her beanie and glasses.

"Laura, can I ask you a question? Only if it doesn't seem too personal." Alyssa asked.

Laura nodded. "Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"Do you miss Ross and do you love him?" Alyssa asked.

Laura dropped the fry she was holding. "Um... yeah. I miss Ross, a lot. And yeah, I might of, kind of... love him."

Maggie gasped. "You love him? As in, love, love?"

Laura smiled. "Yeah. But he's dead now, so I have to move on."

"I know you're actually denying it on the inside." Alyssa stated. "Everybody is."

"What?" Laura asked.

"What she meant to say is, you, the Lynches, her, and her sisters are saying that Ross is dead, but you're all denying it on the inside." Maggie explained.

Laura shook her head. "No, we're not. We know he's dead and we're not denying it."

"Yes you guys are. I know it." Alyssa stated. "I mean, you know that Riker's blaming himself and denying it on both the inside and out, but you guys keep trying to tell him that Ross is really dead, just to make yourselves accept the fact. You're all denying it too. We all are."

Laura sighed. "Fine." She gave in. "I guess I was denying it. I just don't want this all to be real, you know?"

Alyssa smiled. "Trust me. None of us do. But hey, maybe there's gonna be a miracle somehow."

Laura nodded. "I hope so." Then, she saw two people out of the corner of her eyes. "Aren't those Calum and Raini?" She asked when she noticed the red-head and the long curly black hair.

"Oh yeah, it's them!" Alyssa exclaimed.

"You want me to call them over here?" Maggie offered.

"Yeah." Laura nodded.

"Just, don't make it obvious it's them." Alyssa warned.

Maggie nodded and walked over to Calum and Raini, then walked back together to the table.

"Hey." They said simultaneously.

"Hey guys." Laura smiled. "Take a seat."

"Laura, Ally, Maggie, when was the last time we saw you guys?" Raini asked.

"I think it was last month." Laura answered.

"Hey Ally, where are your sisters?" Calum asked.

Alyssa grinned. "In their boyfriends' house."

"Wait, when did they get together with Riker and Rocky again?" Raini asked.

"Lily and Riker got together ten months ago, but Sky and Rocky got together eight months ago." Alyssa answered.

"How about you and Maggie?" Calum raised his eyebrows and smirked. "Did you girls get boyfriends?"

"What? Pfft, no!" Alyssa and Maggie exclaimed in unison, then looked at each other. "Don't copy me! Jinx! Double jinx! Triple jinx! Ugh!"

"So you two have boyfriends?" Laura asked. "Aww."

"Well, IF I have a boyfriend - which I don't - it would be okay since I'm 17 now. But Ally's 13." Maggie answered.

"Oh please. Maggie, I've seen you sharing some goo-goo eyes with Ryland. I can tell you like him. And, he likes you too." Raini stated.

"That doesn't mean I have a boyfriend." Maggie muttered. "How about you, Ally?"

Alyssa blushed. "Can you not tell my sisters about this? They'll freak." When everyone nodded, she continued, "Well, I have a boyfriend. Since a year ago, but I never told them. His name is Luke, and he lives down the street to the Lynches. He's my age, and really nice."

"But you have to tell your sisters. At least one of them." Raini told her.

Alyssa sighed. "Fine. I'll tell Sky because she wouldn't freak out as much."

Later that night...

Knock..knock..knock...

"Hey, that must be Laura, Ally, and Maggie!" Rydel exclaimed.

"I'll open it!" Ryland volunteered, walking over to the door and opening it.

"Hey Ryland." The three girls said in unison.

"Hey Laura, Ally, Maggie." Ryland greeted. "Come on in."

Laura went inside and towards Rydel in Rydel's room, starting a small 'girl talk'.

Alyssa went inside and towards Rachel and Riley in their room which was the guest room, to play along with them.

Skylar and Rocky were in Rocky's room, jamming to a few songs.

Lillian and Riker were at the pool, just sitting on the edge and dipping their feet in it.

Stormie was preparing dinner and Mark was working on his laptop in his room.

That left Maggie and Ryland still at the door together.

"So..." Maggie trailed off.

"So..." Ryland followed. "Wanna go up to my room and chat?"

Maggie smiled. "Sure."

"Hey, I love your new hairstyle." Ryland observed.

Maggie touched her new curled hair which she just curled at the salon with Laura and Alyssa. "Thanks."

"So, what did you and the other girls do at the mal-"

Ryland was cut off when he heard a loud shriek. Rydel's shriek.

"...and then I got a call and they offered me a new role." Laura told Rydel.

"Well why won't you take it? I mean, Have A Crazy Summer seems like a good movie, right?" Rydel asked.

Laura shook her head. "It's dirty and I don't like it. How about you? Have you found a role or something?"

Rydel rolled her eyes. "Or something. The only role I got was months ago, in an interview, when the media found out about Riker, Rocky, Ryland, and I." She sighed. "They're still tweeting about finding Ross, though. They don't know he's dead."

"Why won't you tell them?" Laura asked.

"Well," Rydel started, "Riker was the one who was supposed to tell them, but he didn't want to because he doesn't believe it himself, Rocky and Ryland didn't wanna say anything about it, mom and da-"

"No." Laura cut Rydel off. "I meant, why won't you tell them."

Rydel stayed silent for a moment before saying, "Because like Riker, I don't believe it either. I act like I do, but I actually don't."

Laura's eyes went wide. "I don't believe it either. I-" she was cut off when the doorbell rang.

"Who do you think it is?" Rydel asked.

Laura shrugged. "I don't know. Oh, maybe Calum and Raini!"

Rydel smiled. "I'll just go get it. I don't know they were coming, though. Wait here." She got off her bed and walked downstairs towards the door. The doorbell rang again. "Coming!" She half-yelled.

When she finally reached the door, she put her hand on the knob and opened it. But when she opened it, her eyes went wide and she let out a loud shriek.

To be continued...
