Previously on I Need You Forever...

Then everyone came downstairs, Rocky thought it was time to tell them.

"Everyone please look at me!" Maia, Ciara, Maranos, and the rest of the Lynch kids look at Rocky.

"I have an important announcement"

"We known the Maranos our whole life and Laura, Vanessa, Ratliff is your long-lost brother..." Then everything was silent.

Then everything was silent. Until...

"Well, Ciara and I should get going" Maia said and they left. The door slammed shut and there was silents, silents, and silents. Someone started talking.

"What do you mean I'm their long-lost brother?" Ratliff questioned.

"Well... Long-lost older brother" Rocky said.

"Just answer the stupid, damn question! Please!" Ratliff yelled.

"Okay!-" Rocky put his hand up in surrender.

"When we were in the hospital, I lost my phone so I tried to use Vanessa's phone to find it, but the screen was frozen. So I used Laura's phone-" he got interrupted.

"YOU TOOKED OUR PHONES! YOU'RE THE REASON OUR PHONES ARE MISSING?!" Laura and Vanessa yelled at Rocky, everyone but Vanessa and Laura, thought they were going to be deaf.

"Yeah.. And turns out that I had my phone in my pocket the whole time." Rocky said awkwardly. Laura has her arms crossed.

"Okay, so give our phones back. Now." Vanessa demanded.

"About that I broke them" Ryland said quickly. Everyone turned to him.

"How did you break them? I kept them in my room the whole time." Rocky asks.

"I stepped on them on accident, when I was getting out 20 bucks out of Riker's wallet"

"WHAT?!" Riker shouted.

"Okay, back to the story please" Rydel begged. Ryland hid behind a pillow when Vanessa, Laura, and Riker glared at him. It was hard for Laura and Vanessa cause they were glaring at Rocky also.

"Anyways, when I looked at their phones, they had this picture with them and a boy in it hugging in front of a garden when they were younger, which is the same picture in Ratliff's wallet which I saw when Ratliff showed the picture to Rydel when he talked about his family. When Rydel and Ratliff wasn't looking I walked up to his wallet and saw the picture." Rocky motioned for Ratliff to pull out his wallet. He slowly pulled it out and everyone saw the picture is exactly the one Rocky described and on Laura's and Vanessa's phone that Rocky printed out and pulling it out of his pockets to show them. Laura and Vanessa gasped and had tears threatening to fall. Ratliff looked at them and smiled. The girls ran to him and hugged him tightly not wanting to let go. The girls were crying a bit. The three of them pulled away and smiled. Ratliff than frowned.

"Vanessa, Laura I am so sorry that I didn't protect you when you were getting hurt and was kidnapped and dying" he said. The girls forgave him and they hug once again and sat beside each other on the couch.

"How come I didn't notice? You guys look similar" Ross said.

"Wait, You said that we've known the Maranos our whole life, how is that?" Rydel asked Rocky.

"Well that... I'm not sure about" he said slowly. They all groaned.

"Okay, explain things please" Ross said.

"Well I really don't know how to explain it" Rocky said.

"All I know is that when I got home from Burger King, there was a note on the floor. I picked it up and opened it. It said, 'You Lynches know the Maranos your whole life and I am going to see them soon."

"Can I see it?" Laura asked. Rocky went to the top of the book shelf until he found the crumpled yellow note and gave it to Laura. Her eyes widened.

"No no no no no!" She yelled and tears came out slowly.

"What is it, Laura?" Vanessa asked. Laura was shaking.

"L-look at t-the note!" Laura stuttered. Vanessa took it and a tear came out.

"This can't be happening" she whispered. The tear fell onto the note.

"Well it's happening! He knows we're here!" Laura shouted and fell to the ground sobbing. Ross rushed to her, picked her up and put her on his lap. She cried into his chest.

"Who's here?!" Ratliff asked. Laura's mouth twitched into a smile a bit because she knew Ratliff's older brother protectiveness kicked in.

"Our uncle" Vanessa answered. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Are you sure it was from your uncle?" Riker asked.

"Yeah, it has the initials R.M, Rufus Marano and that is his handwriting!"

"Looks like Ratliff is finally going to meet his uncle" Rydel mumbles while looking down.

Later...

Vanessa was sitting on a huge rock watching the sun going down and hoping that she will be okay. Riker was walking by and saw her. He walked up to her and quietly sat down next to her. Vanessa noticed it but didn't say anything. 2 minutes later she put her head on Riker's shoulder and said,

"Am I going to be okay?" She whispered so softly that Riker can barely hear her. He put his arm around her shoulder.

"Of course nothing is going to happen to you." He said.

"I'm scared" Vanessa said and looked up at his brown eyes.

"Don't be, I promise that nobody will hurt you-" he looks at her eyes and leaned in closer

"I'll make sure of it" he whispered and closed the gap between them. They kiss with love. After about 3 minutes they pull away and smile. They cuddle together. Vanessa felt safe, sound, secure, and most of all love.

"I'm going to be okay" She whispered and closed her eyes.
