It's All About The Girl (R5 fanfiction) Chapter 26, an austin & ally fanfic

Hey everyone!

Thanks for reading this, it means a lot to me. You need to excuse me (thats to people who spend their christmas on the laptop) because I'm afraid I wont be on the computer much during the two following weeks. I'll try my best to upload many chapters today, because I wrote a lot and they are ready, because it is possible I wont be on the laptop at all before school.

Melanie wanted me to stay. She wasn't showing it, but she needed me. And I'm able to take this risk. How could I have been so stupid?
I saw tears in her eyes as she saw me. My face fell, as I walked torwards them. I sat down and said.
'Rydel, could you leave us alone?' I asked, and she quietly left.
'Mel, I need to speak to you.' I said. She didn't lift up her head. She knew that I understood the song.
'I really didn't want that, what happened. I feel like we are just drifting away, and I don't get it. I can't deal with whats happening, and you know it's
hard for me. But I was being really selfish. It is a lot harder for you.' I said, and she looked up. She had tears running down her face. I carried on.
'I know that I wasn't making enough effort and I don't understand it. You are the best thing that happened to me. Without you.. I don't want to live without you
at all. ' I saw her flinch. 'I'm so sorry for being angry with you, I should have been more angry at myself.' I said. I didn't stop looking into her eyes as I was saying it all. But there
was more.
'I hate myself a lot for all of it. For stopping and thinking about everything, because it was perfect the way it was. I'm sorry. I'm not good at talking about
my feelings, but I wanted to have a break from… not you.. but kind of from the problems caused by the two men. I know it all started there, and I know it's not
your fault. I guess it was too much, because my whole hope just disappeared. And it was too much to handle, I had to think. But it was a stupid idea and I'm
really sorry. During this time, I realised that the thing that makes me the most upset is not being with you, and.. this sounds so cheesy but Im not good at
feelings, you know that.. and.. I don't care about your condition. Now I know that the chances are smaller and smaller. I'm aware of that. But you need to know
that I will never turn away from you and…' I was saying, but I didn't finish. Melanie flew her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.
'Ross, I'm so sorry that I put no effort to fight for us. I'm so sorry. I just thought that you were really sick of me and my problems and my depression.' She said.
'Mel, I was never sick of you, but I was upset about your problems, thats true but I quickly realised that it was really stupid. And these few days were a real torture.
I made my mind a long time ago, I swear but I just thought that you wuld be better of without me. I'm such a jerk. But I'm sorry, I have to ask you that question, I
can't ruin everything for me and not know if it was best for you. So do you still love me?' I asked, and believe it or not I had tears falling down my cheeks.
Melanie moved away and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with tears too.
'Ross.. I don't care what mistakes you made. I made a lot of them myself. I don't care. I love you.' She said softly, and wiped my tear.
'This time it's my turn to say I don't deserve you. Only this time I really do mean it. I can't believe how I shouted at you back then. I was upset and stressed and
I didn't mean it.'
'Ross. I have one question…. Why didn't you tell me it all straight away?'
'Because I thougth it would be better to let you down easy and that you would be happier without me. But thats not ture. I need you and you need me.' I said, and
we smiled. These were real smiles. And then I leaned in, and kissed her cheek where all the tears had been. She hugged my tightly around my neck, and I really
didn't want to let her go. I felt her heart beat against my chest, in the same rythm as mine. Then I looked into her dreamy eyes, and we both leaned in. We were
so close I could feel her breath on me. I could only see her eyes. Then I closed the space between us. I guess I don't need to explain how amazing I felt. But this
kiss was a bit different. It was more powerful and full of love, even more amazing than any other kisses we shared.

Melanie's POV
When his soft lips pressed against mine, I knew that what I wanted was right there. Wherever I am, I just want him to be next to me. And if ever I
had any doughts, they dissapeard, because it felt right. When we pulled away, I looked and I saw him. Ross. And his eyes, that made me melt, and his hair that
falls perfectly, and his lips that felt so right on mine. And I smiled. 'I love you' I said. He let go of my waist and got hold of my hands. He didn't look
away, and he plated his fingers with mine. We smiled at each other. And this was one of the best things that happened to me during thse holidays. Ross was certainly
the best thing that happened to me. Ever.

After that, we found Rydel in her parent's apartement. We decided to stay there until everyone comes back, it was evening already and there was no point in going
anywhere. We talked about everything. Rydel seemed so happy to see us smiling at each other like idiots. What does love do with people?
'I need to have a talk with dad.' He said suddenly. Why would he start talking about Mark just now?
'About what?' Rydel asked.
'Doesn't matter… oh sorry my phone is ringing…' Ross said, and walked out of the room.

Ross' POV
'Hey Ross, I have a question. Ryland got a phone call. There is a music festival here in Miami, and they wanted us to perform few songs. But it's just R5 for now.'
I heard Riker speak into the phone.
'When is it?' I asked.
'On the last day we have here.' Riker replied.
'I'm fine with that, as long as everyone else is, I say yes. I will ask Rydel. I'll call you back.' I said.
'Ok. Bye' He said.
'See you.' I replied, and walked back into where Melanie and Rydel were talking.
'Rydel, do you want to perform at the Miami music festival? We were asked if we want to perform few songs. It's on our last day.' I said.
'WOW Yeah that would be cool! An opportunity for Melanie.' She said.
'Actually I think it's just you.' Mel told Rydel.
'Well, they asked about R5, we could ask them if you wanted..' I said, but Mel shook her head.
'It's fine. I will be alright.' She said. I smiled, and sat down next to them. We needed to have the conversation sooner or later.
'We need to talk about your leg Mel. I don't want this to spoil the mood or anything but we have to.' I saw Rydel stand up.
'Rydel stay with us?' I asked her, and she sat back down.
'How will I perform? Will I perform? I need to see the doctors as well, because the leg didn't heal.' She said.
'It's fine. We will work something out.' I said.
'Your leg will heal.' Rydel said.
'I think I lost all the hope.' She said. I stayed silent.
'Don't worry, worrying wont help. You will still perform, it's ok.' I said.
'As long as we don't fight?' She asked me.
'As long as we don't fght.' I repeated, and Rydel inturrupted, obviously seeing the danger of akwardness which would happen if I made the move I was about to make.
'Guys..' She said, and we looked at her. Then dad came in.
'Ross, how dare you ran off like that?' He shouted. Melanie looked up. I shook my head.
'I had to talk to Mel, can we please have this conversation later? ' I asked.
'I.. um.. Ross, if you took me next door to my parents, that would be great.. so you can talk…' She said.
'You do that Ross.' Dad said. I'm not doing it because you told me to. I was thinking. I'm only doing what Mel asked for.
'Sorry Melanie, I just kind of got a complication with dad.' I said, as we walked out of the room.
'I gathered.. If you want to talk about it, you can, but I'm not going to ask about it.' She said.
'I would prefer to not do that.' I said. She nodded, as I carried her into her parents apartament.
'Hello Ross, I see you are alrigth now.' Melanie's mom said. I lifted my eyebrow. Oh that!
'Yes we are both okay. I was just bringing Mel because she.. wanted to spend some time with you this evening. I will come and get her later and we will go to the bus
for the night.' I said.. thinking quick. What? It was partly true. Melanie just smiled as I put her down on the sofa, and then walked back to parent's apartament.
'Ross Shor Lynch! Explain yourself.' Dad said. I came over and said.
'What do you want to hear? That I'm sorry I didn't listen to you when I was particulary saving my relationship with the girl I love? That is more important than
staying with you because you told me too. I had to take the chance and it worked out. Maybe if you made me stay then I would never be happy again?' I shouted back.
'You are exagerating.' He said.
'You insulted Melanie!' I said.
'Now now no need to argue. Daddy is only upset because you are spending more time with that girl than your family. But he didn't mean any of that.' Mum said.
'Is that true?' I asked, with a bit softer voice.
'I'm sorry that I said it, I didn't mean it. I really like that Melanie. ' He said.
'you do? But why are you angry with me?' I asked.
'Not really. Though you disobeiyed me and started talking back at us.' He said.
'I was just.. She means so much to me dad.' I said. 'But family is very important to me too. I'm sorry if I stopped spending time with you.' I said.
'I understand it love.' Mum said. I loved mummy so much. I hugged her.
'Thanks mum.' I said. Then I looked over at dad.
'My little boy is growing so fast' he said and started hugging me. I chuckled. I couldn't believe that my dad was jelous of Melanie.

Melanie's POV
I spent some time with parents and then Ross came to get me. We went back to the bus and all sat down on the sofas with blankets, because according to Rydel
'We can never forget blankies'. We were working on my songs. Riker asked me to show them more of them. I did not show them Dark Side because it was too personal,
and anyway I didn't want to perform it with them. All of the songs I'm not performing with them, I will perform on my own if I get to anyway. Hopefully, this tour
will help me. Not that I'm using them, it was Rydel's idea. Whatever we are doing after the tour, I will always want to go back to performing with them. I decided to
show them my song called It's not too late. I breathed in and started playing the guitar.

Here I am
feels like the walls are closing in once again
it's time to face it and be strong
I wanna do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow
i've lost my way

If I could take it all back I would now
I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up the mess I made
Maybe it's not too late
Maybe it's not too late

So I'll take a stand even though it's complicated
If I can I wanna change the way I've made it
I gotta do the right thing now
I know it's up to me somehow
I'll find my way

I'm gonna find the strength to be
the one that hold it all together
Show you that I'm sorry
But I know that we can make it better

I never meant to let you all down
And now I've got to try to turn it all around
And figure out how to fix this
I know there's a way so I promise
I'm gonna clean up the mess I made
Maybe it's not too late
Maybe it's not too late

'This is how I feel when I let you down. Any of you, and all of you.' I said. Rydel hugged me.
'But it's okay, don't worry. It's a great song by the way.' She said. Ross wispered something into my ear when nobody was paying attention.
'You realise that I am the one who should say sorry?' He said.
'It's okay. As long as we don't fight.' I said.
'We won't. I promise.' He said and we smiled. We had few days left here. And I want to be ready for the tour. With walking or without, I just have to be happy.
I can't let it ruin my life. I believe it will be okay. Well.. as long as I have all of them with me.
