Riker's POV

She just stared at me shaking. "Seriously I am" still silence. "Hello?" She was probably going through some type of shock Rydel went through yesterday where she wouldn't speak or eat at all she just lied there all day I felt the same but I had to be there for my family being silent wouldn't bring Ross back. It wouldn't bring anyone back. Or maybe…possibly she was just ignoring me because she was mad at me. The first idea sounded a lot better to me. "Look I understand if your in shock and I know how you feel" I said attempting to comfort her "but just nod your head if you accept my apology" she nodded but I was still pretty sure she was mad at me. But that was all I needed. "Alright well I'll let you be…I'll see you tomorrow." I said walking out the door and back to my house. The sad truth was that we didn't see her the next day in fact we didn't even see her for the next couple of years. I didn't make the effort and neither did she. We were to upset to even try. Search parties were sent out everywhere and Ross was all over the news yet we still couldn't find Him eventually we just gave up it was so much trouble…for…nothing. Even though he was my brother it still felt like we were going through to much a and we needed a break from all that searching. R5 was over without Ross. We stopped preforming and eventually just broke up all together. It was hard I didn't really know what job I would have now. Maybe I would become a music teacher? I really didn't know but life would go on. With or without Ross Shor Lynch.

Ryleigh's POV

I haven't seen the Lynch's in 2 years Or Ratliff. I don't know why but it feels different without my best friend/ boyfriend not being there. And I didn't really want to. There's just always an empty space where a person should be. You know? Even though it has been two years I still wasn't over it. I don't think I'll ever be. You tell me if you would ever forget about your best friend. Wool you ever get over the fact he left and was never coming back? I was watching the news like almost always to see if there was an update on where Ross was. It was wishful thinking he was most likely dead… but I didn't like to think that way. I was pretty hopeful for someone as depressed as I was. There were never any updates but today there finally was. I was so happy when I saw the caption DEVELOPING STORY MISSING ROSS LYNCH on the screen I jumped out of my seat screaming (happy screams). My mom ran down the stairs worried. "What's wrong honey?" She asked. I was speechless and just pointed to the tv "alright as long as your ok" she said and walked back upstairs.

"2 years ago former lead singer of the pop rock band R5 went missing on this very day" the male reporter spoke "But today someone said they spotted someone who looked quite like Ross Lynch more to come on this breaking news story next". It was followed by some commercial about diapers or something. I quickly ran over to the phone trying to remember the phone number of the Lynch residence. I remembered and then dialled it quick. Rocky answered

"Hello" he said "

Hey it's Ryleigh"

"Ryleigh?! I haven't spoken to you in years what's in your mind?"

"Turn on the news now! Somebody saw Ross!" I said bursting into tears.

Rocky's POV

As soon as she said that my face lit up. I dropped the phone and I ran to change the channel on our tv. "Hey" Ryland and Riker said "we were watching that!"

"This is much more important" I said rolling my eyes "Rydel" I yelled "Mom dad come here quick" they ran downstairs

"what's going on?" my dad asked. I pointed to the tv.

"Oh we thought something was wrong" Rydel said turning around about to go back upstairs

"Back to the story of Ross Lynch" the reporter said. Rydel turned and sat down ready to listen. "we have Andrea Fox here who claimed she had seen him"

"ya I did" the girl Andrea said "Well I don't really know if it was him it looked like him just with differences in his hair I know that we've been looking for him forever but I think that was really him"

"there you have it folks the missing Ross Lynch might not be missing anymore" and that was the first time in two years when the whole family was smiling. I was ecstatic but shouldn't we have been the first ones they contacted?

Riker's POV

We continued watching the news until there was an update (which actually took about 2 hours) and this time a female reporter said "Turns out the so called Ross Lynch isn't even really him" I groaned

"come on!" Rocky said

"he was just a look alike who was actually very freaked out when we tried to get him to come on camera sorry to everyone but the search continues" I sunk back in my seat looks like he wasn't found after all. I bet these stupid news reporters don't even care. I bet that stupid girl doesn't even care. They're probably moving on to the next breaking story as I'm crying on my couch. It's probably because they've seen so many of these story's they've just stopped caring. I wish they knew…I wish everyone could feel what I was feeling it just didn't seem fair that our family had to go through all this. What did we ever do wrong? What did we do to deserve this. We were a good family…at least I thought we were… maybe things like this had to happen to make us stronger…to bond us? But this sure as heck was not working all it did was separate us and make us drift farther and farther apart
