Chapter 6: Let's just talk

Riker's POV

I smiled after my little slip up earlier I didn't really know if the rest of the night was going to be any fun but I was wrong it was. "I'm starving!" I said

"then let's eat!"

"last one there gets the mouldy sandwich"

"I don't think It matters which ones are mouldy they all probably won't taste good" she said I laughed

"probably" I said " if only you made them better… but you know what I don't even know what we put on them" and we both ran to the picnic blanket. "I clearly won" I said

"Ya ya" she shoved me. We sat down. I took out the sandwiches that we made and some actually good food. I picked up a sandwich and took a bite. I gaged

"these are awful…I mean so good yep!" I said wanting Ryleigh to try some"

"expected" she said I looked over to her and she was staring out into space.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"Oh nothing" she lied

"alright I hope nothing's wrong especially while your eating these amazing sandwiches we made!" She rolled her eyes and took a bite

"ew" she said and she gagged "these are awful!"

"Ya I know" I said as we continued eating some old memories about being here with Ross started to creep back into my head. I was trying so hard not to think of him. Maybe I shouldn't have tried so hard to do the same things with Ryleigh. Why had I ever thought this would take my mind off him. I felt a tear fall as I stared at the moving water.

Ryleigh's POV

"Hey Riker what's going on?" I asked when I saw that he was upset.

"You really want to know why I thought it was my fault?"

"Well I did two years ago" I said "well I still do…I've always been wondering like it's always been in the back of my mind"

"Well then I'll tell you" he said "the night before he left when you were with Rydel he showed me something on twitter. Some person had made an R5 hate account called R5_Hater_ForLife and this person was calling us all awful things especially Ross. It was calling Ross ugly and untalented and saying he just wanted him to die. Well I made the mistake of telling Ross that it would be awesome if we could just start over and have a different life and not be famous anymore. But the thing he didn't know was that the next day when I went to go and close down his twitter was that the the R5 family was standing up for him that sure shut that person up. I kind of felt bad that he would never see that. See how much people cared".

When he finished I felt like screaming I felt like attacking him but instead I just fell into his lap crying. "You probably hate me now" he said

"No way! It's not your fault" I said in a muffled voice

"I don't think you mean it"

"really it isn't Ross just took what you said a little to…literally".

"If that's true then why did he leave me out of the note?"

"That's a question for Ross to answer…" I said not knowing why "hopefully someday" I guess we were both hoping he wasn't dead it was a long shot but it did make me feel better.

Riker's POV

It felt good sharing those thoughts with Ryleigh. I mean I never really shared this with anyone not even my family. I don't think she was right though it must have been my fault otherwise he wouldn't have left me out of the note. "Sorry i was so spacey" I said "I just keep thinking about what I used to do with Ross here" I said "he was the only one I ever brought here other than you".

"Maybe it's time" she said

"time for what?" I asked stupidly "

To share" she said "share all the memories that we are leaving inside of us. I mean it's been two years maybe it's time to get those thoughts out into the world. I mean it's better to think about the good times then reminisce about the bad times. Maybe we will feel better if we share what's on our minds".

"That's a lot of maybes…"

I said she just stared at me

"Alright…" I said reluctantly trying to prepare my self to tell my story "I used to bring Ross here like pretty much his whole life and we used to well do what we're doing right now, and just share things we would never share with anyone else I told him he had to keep this place a secret that it was our place. I never even showed Rocky Rydel or Ryland or anyone else I t was for us only it was like a special sort of bond we had. I only came here once after he…" he stopped

"you don't have to say it"

"and this time. It makes me happy but sad at the same time I have mixed feelings about it. Like the memories are good but the thought of Ross just makes me a little sad well not really the thought of him but knowing that he's gone". She smiled

"how did that feel?" She asked

"great!" I answered because honestly it did. She was right it felt like a weight was being lifted off my shoulders all because I told one little story.

A/N I meant to update a couple days ago but it wasn't working! Sorry! And plus it's like my shortest chapter yet! Ok so I'm a little but sad! I literally only have two fans of my story! And so I'm not going to stop because at least I have two people! But I'm still a little upset because I was expecting to have a little bit more fans then this. But it's all good! What did you think? So they're going to start sharing stories and stuff so you'll get a little bit of their back story's with Ryleigh apart of them! Please R&R. 3 reviews for next chapter. No exceptions!
