Riaura girl: yes haha

Guest: everyone seems to like Ratliff's jealous and theres still more to come hehe. Hmm Rydel could be on to something, you'll have to wait and see ;)

Everyone's head turned to the voice who had shouted out. Maia also looked at the voice who had shouted, and when she saw him all she could do was grin with some sort of happiness. Whereas Ross, he looked like he was going to be sick with shock and fear. Who, as you could have guessed, was the one who shouted out.

"Hey Ross." Maia smiled, giving him a small wave.

Confusion hit Rocky like a tone of bricks as he looked from Ross and now his future possible girlfriend. Although right now, he's feeling that, that thought could be out of the window.

Laura looked at Maia and at Ross "You two know each other?" Laura asked, in disbelief. Well, it was kind of disbelief it was more like she didn't know what the hell was going on.

Maia turned her head to Laura, still smiling sweetly "Yeah, we do. He and I use to date a while back."

"WHAT?!" Rocky asked, raising his voice.

"I knew I recognised her from somewhere!" Ratliff said pointing at her, as if he should have already known. Even though he did. Now all he got was funny looks from everyone. He lowered his arm and sat down on the box that was behind him.

"You two use to date?" Rydel asked.

Ross rolled his eyes at how everyone seemed be repeated everything what Maia was saying in the form of a question. Maia nodded "Yeah," Maia answered Rydel "that was until I broke up with him."

Ross scoffed "You broke up with me?" Ross questioned, he couldn't help but laugh "more like I broke up with your little psycho ass." He had a hell of a lot of good reasons to break up with Maia. They weren't good. What he said about her being a psycho, that was true she was mental and he's surprised she hasn't been locked up or sent to a mental asylum.

"Oh, now, now Ross. Don't go making stuff up, we all know the truth. Well.. we do now anyway."

Ross couldn't even find the words to comprehend what Maia was saying and what was happening, he looked at everyone else who looked like they didn't want to get involved or they looked more confused than they ever had in their entire lives. "You guys don't believe her do you?" Ross asked.

Ryland shrugged "Dude, we've only just met her. We don't know what she's like."

"Well take it from me, she's a psycho!"

"You know what, I'm just gonna go before he says something he shouldn't." Maia said. She turned to Rocky "It was fun hanging out with you today, hope we can do it again soon." She smiled, kissing him on the cheek and exiting through the back door of the venue.

Riker walked over to Ross and placed his hand on his shoulder, as he looked like he was going to pass out "Calm down, Ross... she can't be that bad, she's gone."

"Yeah, but how long for?! Seen as though Rocky was dumb enough to bring her back into my life!" Ross yelled at him. He felt like he was going to leap across the room and pounce on Rocky any moment.

Rocky rolled his eyes "Don't blame me just because you had a past failed relationship," Rocky said "blame yourself. Your the one who dated her," he tried to joke but didn't work. All he got was silence. Rocky cleared his throat "Seriously though, surely she can't be that bad."

"Yes. Yes she is Rocky. You have no idea what she is capable of!" Ross snapped at him, feeling Riker trying to hold him back incase he pounced on Rocky "now I'm telling you this Rocky for your own safety as well as mine and everyone else's... get. Rid. Of. Her."

"No! Why should I get rid of someone who I might actually like and see myself dating?" Rocky asked, which made Ratliff immediately snap back fully into the conversation and what was going on.

Ross glared at Rocky "I swear to god Rocky, if she does ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING to anybody I will never speak to you again. I will disown you as a brother."

Rocky rolled his eyes again at how pathetic Ross was being right now "Your making her sound like some sort of masked murderer... like seriously what's she gonna do?" Rocky asked "kill me? Kill you? Kill, oh, I don't know... the next person who walks through the door?"

As Rocky finished off the sentence, the door opened up again "Hey," Paige said coming through it. She stopped, seeing everyone had their eyes on her and nobody was talking. "D-did I interrupt something..?" She asked.

"Okay, maybe that wasn't the best time to say that..." Rocky said, sounding thoughtful.

"Say what?" She asked, confused. Ross was looking at her as if she'd done something or had something on her that she shouldn't "What's wrong? What's going on?" She asked.

Raini went to go say something, tell Paige, but Ross immediately butted in "Nothing! Nothing, just... me and Rocky being... us... you know how we do," Ross said, laughing nervously. "Why are you so late?" he asked.

Paige scoffed "In what way?" She mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing," She smiled "nothing... I was just um... yeah. Falling behind," she shook her head deciding to change the subject "don't you guys have a VIP thing to get too? I can hear the fans coming through the doors from here."

Riker nudged Ross "Yeah. She's right c'mon."

As R5 went to go leave backstage and greet the fans for the Q&A, seen as though they were doing things differently this session, they were stopped by Paige again "Who was the girl that just left?" She asked "she seemed... different."

"Rocky's new 'girlfriend'," Calum said "and Ross's-"

"-Got a VIP to get too," Ross finished off, receiving funny looks off everyone "c'mon guys! Lets go! Don't wanna keep the fans waiting!" He said, ushering the four to the stage "Calum keep your mouth shut," Ross mumbled to him through gritted teeth "later, Paige, love you." He said quickly, kissing her on the cheek as he passed her quickly.

"Well that was... weird." Raini said, now that the others were gone.

"It's Ross, what do you expect?" Calum asked.

Laura kept her eyes on where Ross had just left, getting the same vibe Ross was getting from Maia. There was something not good about her what so ever.

During the Q&A with the fans, Ross kept on taking peaks backstage to make sure Calum wasn't talking to Paige and if he was making sure she didn't look pissed off or was sending him death glares. Nope. Instead when he looked backstage she kept looking at him and smiling, giving him a small wave each time. That seemed good.

She was happy.

Not angry, not pissed off, not moody, not anything. Just happy.

Which is different compared to what she has been lately. But that's good she's happy. Very happy.

"ROSS!" Riker shouted through the microphone.

Ross jumped at the sound of Riker shouting him. Riker shook his head "Dude, don't act so obvious," He teased through the mic "now pick a question."

Ross sighed, looking at the crowd where they all had their hands up. Instead of going for someone from the front, he went for someone near the back "You, there... With the blue head band." He said, pointing at her "ask away." he dropped his mic lower, expecting it to be a question on something the same or something Rydellington and if it was real.

You know. The usual.

"This is a question for Ross," The girl said, which Ross now had to look interested in "who's your girlfriend?"

"I was wondering when that question was going to come..." Ross said "well.. she's a girl."

"Obviously." Ratliff said through the microphone.

Ross rolled his eyes, shoving Ratliff playfully and almost off his stool "No, but she's here right now backstage. It'd be easier for me to bring her out rather than describe her. I'll probably say something and she'll hit me for it after." he joked at the last bit as he got up from his stool.

"Don't you dare!" Paige said, getting from where she stood when Ross came towards her from backstage. She backed away slowly "Ross! No!"

Ross tried to grab her, forgetting he had brought the mic with him so it was picking most of this up, "C'mon, they're not gonna bite you!"

Paige slapped his hands away "No! Ross! I swear, I'll throw up all over you!" She said, trying to fight. That and she did feel like she was going to throw up.

Ross rolled his eyes "Please, it's just nerves. You're not actually sick."

Calum stood up from where he was and grabbed her from behind so Ross could get her. Ross smiled in satisfaction "Thanks Cal." He said, grabbing her hand tightly and pulling her towards the stage.

She whimpered "Oh, I hate you."

"Oh, please. You could never hate me."

So she couldn't run off, he pulled Paige in front of him and pushed her onto the stage. He couldn't help but laugh by the look on her face, she looked like she was forcing the smile on her face and also... going to kill Ross. "So, everyone, this is Paige," Ross said, smiling and laughing a little "she's my girlfriend... and... she's going to kill me. Love you."

"Whatever."

The Q&A went by pretty quick, quicker than normal anyway. The show went by, and in between Ross would stop people from talking about Maia around Paige. That would probably be the only new thing to happen in their lives now. Ross stopping the name Maia Mitchell from being mentioned.

It was bad enough Paige wasn't in the best of moods lately, they didn't need her finding out about Maia because then god knows what would happen.

Now that Ratliff is thinking about Maia, as well as a certain someone else, he couldn't help but feel a bad vibe from her either. She seems sweet and all... but that sweetness is just an act. He can tell.

He's not just saying that because he has confused feelings towards Rocky. He's saying in general, going with his gut instincts.

And with everything Ross managed to fit in between her leaving and Paige walking through the door.

Right now everyone had returned back to the hotel. Ratliff was in his and Rocky's room laid on the couch, and Rocky was in the bathroom finishing off in the shower. The door opened to the bathroom and Rocky came out, ready to go to bed. Ratliff was still dressed in his clothes.

Rocky gave Ratliff a small lingering look, not letting Ratliff notice. He sat on his bed when he heard Ratliff laugh. Rocky looked over to the couch "What...?" he asked.

Ratliff shook his head, sitting up on the couch "That Maia girl. She's definitely... something." Ratliff said. He didn't know why he was bringing this up, he just felt the need to.

Rocky rolled his eyes, he'd been eye rolling a lot today. First Ross and now Ratliff. "I mean, Ross seemed pretty scared of her." Ratliff said.

"Ross is scared of his own shadow, let alone a girl."

"I'm definitely with Ross on this one though."

Rocky stood up from the bed, folding his arms and looking at Ratliff confused and wanting to know "What do you mean? That you don't like her?" Rocky asked.

"That," Ratliff said, slowly standing up "but also because I don't like the feeling I'm getting from her either," Ratliff said, making Rocky tut and retreat back to his bed "c'mon Rocky, tell me you're getting the same feeling."

Rocky stared at Ratliff for a moment, feeling something. A small part of him was telling him to believe Ratliff as well as Ross, but the other was telling him to ignore it. He didn't know what to ignore and what to believe. That's why he was going with ignoring everyone and what they were saying.

"I'm taking that as a yes." Ratliff said, stepping closer to the bed.

"Hey, I'm only getting a bad feeling from her because she's my little brother's ex-girlfriend," Rocky pointed out, like he couldn't stress it enough and they'd only been talking about it for 20 seconds "besides. What do you care if I hang out with her? You've got a girlfriend." he said, feeling like reminding him..

But in reality it was pissing Ratliff off.

Ratliff rolled his eyes "Yes, I know I have a girlfriend," Ratliff said as if he was talking to the world's biggest idiot "but that doesn't matter. Least not right now anyway."

"Actually it kind of does," Rocky said "because she's my sister... and you're messing her around."

"I'm not messing her around!" Ratliff protested.

Rocky scoffed "Really? You've been dating her for a very long time Ratliff and we kissed whilst it's happening," Rocky said, as if it was giving him satisfaction in this "I know you still think about it. I'm not an idiot. I see the way you look at me and i sometimes hear you mumble in your sleep."

"That's not fair!"

"What's not fair?" Rocky asked "poor Ratliff's being proved right. Or that your allowed a girlfriend you don't even care about anymore and I'm not aloud to have one?" He asked, referring to Ratliff being pissed about Rocky wanting to go after Maia. Even though he still clearly had feelings for Ratliff.

Man how bad would that be if he used Maia to make him jealous...

It's obviously working though.

Ratliff felt like he could strangle Rocky, but if he said he wanted to strangle him Rocky would make up some stupid comment about it. Instead he sighed in frustration "You know what Rocky, fuck you!" Ratliff said, storming towards the door.

"Where the fuck are you going?!" Rocky asked.

"For a walk!" Ratliff shouted, opening up the door and slamming it behind him. Rocky rolled his eyes and laid down in his bed, deciding he wouldn't bother to go after Ratliff. He'd probably go to Rydel's hotel room or something. He can't see him going anywhere else other than outside.

Ratliff took a deep breath when he exited the room, feeling the relief from being around an ass.

An ass who he just so happened to have feelings for.

Ratliff sighed like it was unbearing for him. This really was messed up and he needed to fix it. But how? He couldn't keep fighting with Rocky like this until it got to he point where the feelings of love, sort of, turned into hate. He couldn't let that happen. Even though it seemed like the only option right now and the only way out of this so he could be with Rydel happily with no problems to deal with.

You know, until Rydel develops her own crush on her best friend and ends up in the same position as Ratliff is.

Ratliff scoffed. Yes, because Rydel is that much a whore like Ratliff to be in that position.

Ratliff had no idea what he was doing and where he was going all, he knew was that he ended up outside the hotel where nobody was. Just a car park full, well nearly full, of cars and a couple of people walking around as well as an Usher stood outside to help people.

That was when his eyes fell on the bench near to him where he saw someone sat on.

Paige.

She looked like she was lost deep in thought about something and was starting a war over it by herself. Or she looked like someone she loved died.

He might as well go and talk to someone who won't piss him off right?

Or better yet, won't make him worry.

He hopped down the steps and made his way over to the bench "Hey, Paige." Ratliff said, getting closer to the bench. She shot her head up, jumping slightly. When he got a closer look at her, it looked like she was close to tears "Is everything okay?" Ratliff asked as he sat down next to her, she nodded "are you lying?"

"I-I'm fine." She stuttered.

"You stuttered, you're lying," Ratliff said. He'd known Paige as long as he'd known the Lynch's, he can see through her like a piece of paper. "Why are you out here by yourself and not with Ross?"

"Why are you out here and not with Rydel or in your room with Rocky?" Paige asked, as if she was retorting back.

"I asked first," Ratliff said "now tell me."

She shook her head "No.. I don't want too... cause... you'll go tell Ross straight away."

"No I won't. C'mon, it can't be that bad." Ratliff said as if she was acting like a drama queen about it, in fact she was and he didn't even know what it was "Does your parents want you to go home?" Ratliff asked, she shook her head 'no' "had an argument with them?" He asked, she shook her head again "had an argument with anybody?" Ratliff asked, she shook her head again.

What the hell.

"C'mon, I hate guessing, please tell me," Ratliff said, almost begging "did someone die?" Ratliff asked, she shook her head. Dang. "on a scale of one to ten, how bad is it?" He asked.

Paige looked like she had to think about it for a moment "I'd say... Eleven."

Ratliff nodded, sort of understanding "Alright, fair enough. You can tell me in your own time."

"Thank you."

Ratliff laughed "Girl, did you not notice the sarcasm in that sentence?" Ratliff asked "I'm not Laura," He said, making Paige sigh in false hope that Ratliff was going to leave her alone "if you don't tell me right now, I will march up to yours and Ross's room right now and tell him something's up. You basically said before you don't want him to know."

Paige looked at Ratliff, knowing he wouldn't do it. Ratliff's a lot of things, but he wouldn't go against someone's will unless he cared dearly.

Ratliff sighed "Alright then," Ratliff stood up. He looked up at the hotel building where he saw the window of Ross and Paige's room was open "ROSS!" Ratliff shouted.

"Ratliff what are you doing?!" Paige screeched, pulling him back down.

Ratliff laughed "Don't think I won't catch his attention. I will," Ratliff said, making her debate on whether or not to tell him now "now tell me... I won't say anything to Ross. I promise."

"Alright..." She said, seeming nervous "but you have got to promise not to tell anybody at all!"

Ratliff decided to mock Paige, he brought up his hand and stuck out his pinky finger "I pink swear." He mocked, sounding like a five year old. Paige rolled her eyes at him. Ratliff dropped his hand and looked her up and down "This hasn't got anything to do with how you've been acting lately, has it?" He asked, trying to see if he could guess himself.

"Maybe..."

"C'mon, tell me. Please, otherwise my voice gets louder and Ross comes down." Ratliff said.

She nodded "I think... it's not definite but I think I'm.. um..." she sighed, shutting her eyes as she couldn't quite find the correct words to say without Ratliff freaking out.

Ratliff leaned closer to her, as if he was interrogating her "You think you're what?" He asked.

"Pregnant."

Ta dah. Boom betcha all weren't expecting that. xD
