Riker's POV
I woke up in the morning excited. Ryleigh was coming home today! I know it had only been a couple of hours since I last saw her but she was alive and that was where the most excitement was coming from. I got ready really quick and ran downstairs extremely happy but my family just looked at me strange "what?" I asked "aren't we going to go and see Ryleigh?" My mom hurt looked at me for a minute before saying
"Um I'm sorry Riker but maybe we should give her and her mom a little space" my mom said
"alright" I said reluctantly slumping onto the couch. "I mean if I nearly died I would want some company"
"Riker" my mom said
"Sorry"
"We're going out" Rydel said "do you want to come with us?"
"I'm ok" I said. They all got up and walked out the door and I was there alone. Maybe a little TV would take my mind off things I turned the TV on and the first thing I heard was "there was a medical miracle last night where a teen literally came back to life" I changed the channel quickly. there was no way I was living through that more times then I had to. That story was on almost every channel And there was nothing on considering it was the middle of a weekday so I resorted to watching Disney today was throwback Thursday where they would play older shows all day that weren't really on much. The first show I watched was the first episode of Shake It Up and next was Austin And Ally I decided to keep it on maybe watching a show I used to make fun of and be a part of would help plus I knew all the people on it. But maybe that wasn't the right choice. This was the one that Ryleigh had guest Starred in where she played Piper Austin's girlfriend that was around the same time when Ross had told me he liked her. I turned off the tv maybe that was the wrong choice to 'take my mind off things' all I could think about was her after that. About how much I wanted to see her.
Ryleigh's POV
I was home alone because my mom was at work and she decided I don't need any company this morning. At first I had agreed but The truth was I did I almost died and I really didn't want to be alone. She also decided it was best I didn't see Riker at all today. What was her reasoning? It was definitely not best these were the times when I needed a friend like Riker most. I wish I had a family like Riker's. Don't get me wrong I love my mom but she can never seem to make time for me or ever know what I actually want. And she always made decisions for me. I was always alone and I didn't have any brothers or sisters to stay with and comfort me and I had no other friends except for Riker. Tomorrow I would have to go back to school though and that was the most highly dreaded thing in my life right now. I really didn't want to go. I bet most of them had already seen the video and that would be one more thing added to the list of things they could make fun of me for.
I arrived at school looking for Riker but it was Mia who greeted me "looks like somebody got hurt" she said mockingly "I wonder who it was" she said pretending to think long and hard about it
"we don't know who it was it was a hit and run". She just kept looking at me until I smile crept across her face
"well whoever it was they have the best ideas. And that video, priceless!" And with that she skipped away towards her friends or wannabes as I liked to call them. I rolled my eyes she really was awful. She got a kick out of me being humiliated and me being in pain. There was no end. Finally I saw Riker talking to some guy I ran ,well not exactly, over to him
"hey Riker" I said smiling Just being happy to get away from Mia
"hey" he said hugging me tightly "I missed you! Oh and this is Adam"
"hey" Adam said to me
"oh um wait you talking to…um hey" I said a little confused my head really hurt "I'm Ryleigh"
"ya she kind of got hit by a car like I did, as you probably already know and all, so she's a bit confused" Riker said
"are you serious?" Adam said
"no I'm Ryleigh oh wait…sorry um ya"
"well I hope your Ok and I've got to go" Adam said and he walked away quickly. Though I was pretty sure he had nowhere to be. I was acting pretty awkward. I would have left if I were him.
Riker's POV
I was looking at Ryleigh like she was totally crazy. That head injury must have been really bad she never acted like that she doesn't normally scare boys away either. "What's going on with you?" I asked
"everything" she said holding her head "I can't even think straight"
"maybe you should just go home" I suggested
"and be all alone again? No thanks. I was already alone all day yesturday"
"I'll come with you" I said "I mean they have to let me I'm injured too"
"Fine" she said. It would be nice to have some time just us considering we didn't see each other
I went to Ryleigh's house and we started talking about our debut as duo in the music industry. "We'll need to make a video" she said "so we can…you know get out there"
"Ya we probably should but we don't exactly look like we should be preformingl
"We'll work it out" she said "I mean we don't even have to film it now and if you really want to we can always edit it"
"I guess we should probably wait" I said "it will be a lot easier that way" she nodded and I asked her the thing I had been waiting to say for days "Look Ryleigh" I said "I have to admit I like you…and was wondering…if you would… go out…on a date…with me? I mean when we get better"
"of course" she said "I'd love to but we don't have to wait we can just be the crippled couple" she giggled. It was that laugh that always made me feel better. I had realized the day after I found out she said she didn't want us to be together that I really did like her. And I had to ask anyways because I had to pretend I didn't know what she said about me. It looks like it payed off and I was ecstatic.
Ryleigh's POV
"And done" Riker said hitting enter and laying back from the computer.
"Awesome!" I said
We had finally made our music video and uploaded it to Riker's channel (so the original subscribers could see it) a few weeks after the accident. Riker still wasn't ok but we worked around it. We couldn't put it out there too late. The song was about somebody loving someone and knowing that they don't and will never love them back. Pretty sad concept I'm just glad the lyrics don't mean anything to us because it's a pretty sad song but it's quite fast so nobody would expect it to be sad unless they really thought about the lyrics.I know it's pretty cliché but the lyrics just seemed to flow.
"Wow!" I said "we're already getting comments and it's only been a few minutes"
"Welcome to the life of being famous"
We're getting plenty of good comments on it but there are some that say that Riker should have never came back in the music industry or just that I suck and they want R5 back but I wouldn't let it get to me I mean I don't want to repeat history.
"Here's another good one at least" I said
"Good song but the video sucks?!" Riker read "you think that's good?"
"It's better than the other ones" I said
I have to say the video is pretty sick and we decided to ask Adam to play my love interest and this girl Maddie to play Riker's the video was shot around mine and Riker's house (don't worry we didn't show he address) and I'm trying to go after Adam and Riker's trying to go after Maddie but in the end Maddie and Adam get together and we think were all alone. The video ends with Riker and I staring at each other and smiling. I think it's cute but I hope nobody gets the wrong idea about me and Riker. Which reminds me I promised I would go out on a date with Riker I don't know why I said yes I don't even like him…ok fine maybe I do but it would never work out…School actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Nothing even happened to me other than that little incident with Mia on my first day back.
