Rydel's POV: I wake and feel a little better than what I felt yesterday. I love having talks with Ratliff because he always make me feel better some how. And he was right. I shouldn't keep things bottled up because something's I can't handle on my own. I take a shower and put on a short blue dress with my white Doc Martens. As I look at the clock I notice that it is only 7:18 the morning so I guess no one is awake. As I walk down stairs I hear two people whispering. "So, how did you get Rydel to feel better" I hear a voice say...wait that voice sound familiar. Hey is that Ryland and Ratliff talking?
"Wait you knew that Rydel was upset"Ratliff asked Ryland.
"We'll kinda."Ryland responds shrugging.
"Then why didn't you talk to her about it"?Ratliff questions Ryland.
"Because I knew that she wouldn't talk to me about it, yeah I might be her favorite brother and all, but she only tells things to you"Ryland explains. And it was true, I only told things to Vanessa or Ratliff.
"I guess that's true"Ratliff said realizing that it was true.
"Well...are you going to answer my question or not"Ryland says leaning forward on the marble counter top.
"What question"Ratliff asks confused.
"How did you get Rydel to feel better."
"I just told her that she might be a little weird and stuff but those traits makes her who she is."
"Go on"Ryland says intrigued.
"Then I told her that she was one in a million and that she was beautiful."
"Woah, dude do you like my sister?"
"No, I couldn't like her ever she's like a sister to me, sure she's funny, weird, and beautiful but I could never see myself dating her".
Right when I heard those word come out of Ratliff's mouth I was crushed. I couldn't move a single muscle in my entire body. I wasn't just crushed I was broken into piece. That was then, when I realized that I liked Ratliff more than I thought.
"Wow you made a mistake"I heard Ryland say as her shook his head.
"What do you mean I made a mistake?"
"You can't just say that kind of stuff to Rydel man, she falls easily for guys and with you Ratliff, your leading her on only to disappoint her at the end."
"I'm pretty sure Rydel has no types of feelings for me."
"She probably didn't then, but now im not so sure." Ryland says as he picks up a banana.
Ratliff's phone then rings. "Um...ok be there in a sec."I hear Ratliff say.
"Ry, tell the others Ill be back in time for rehearsals I have to meet Kelly right now as he grabs his jacket.
I quick go up the stairs silently, then act as I'm coming down as Ratliff passes by leaving out of the house.
I walk in to the kitchen and I'm greet by my youngest brother Ryland.
"Morning Delly"Ryland says as he takes a bite out of his banana.
"Hey Ry"I say as I go into the fridge and pull out the carton of orange juice.
"Um...Rydel can I ask you something"Ryland says as he takes a sip of his milk.
"Sure what's up"I ask Ryland as I get a glass out of the cabinet.
"Well...do you um..."Ryland stutters.
"Well spit it out Ry"I say as I rinse out the glass.
"Do like or have any feelings toward Ratliff what so ever"Ryland ask with a serious face.
I knew that if I told him he would have told ratliff and I knew that things wouldn't be the same between me and my bestfriend. So I did the first thing I thought of...I lied.
I do my fake laugh."what of course not Ry, what gave you that silly idea, I see Ratliff as a brother not a boyfriend."I say as I pour me half a glass of orange juice.
"Oh good because I was worried that You developed feelings for Ratliff after what happened yesterday"Ryland says.
"Well I don't like Ratliff in the way Ryland you have nothing to worry about" I lie as I take a sip of my orange juice.
Ryland sighs in relief.
