Chapter 23
Ally's POV
It's just two hours until the masquerade ball and all the girls are in Austin and I's room getting ready. Rydel is 4 months pregnant now along with Trish, Ashley has now moved out and Kayla and Trent are still together. Unfortunately there wasn't a ticket for Trent so Kayla is going without him.
"Ally? What colour should I do my eye shadow?" Trish ask from her cross legged position on the floor.
"How about blue to contrast with your red mask?" I suggest getting off the bed and walking towards my drawer with my make up in it. "Trish, I'm sorry we haven't found him." I sigh as I join Trish at the mirror so I can do her eye shadow.
"It's fine, my baby will have kickass aunties to make up for his lack of a father." She grins, not moving so I don't fuck up her makeup.
"We can just have Ell as their dad." Rydel laughs as she fiddles about with her mask.
"Yes, I'm sure your fiancé would be happy to say he's the dad of another woman's child." Kayla laughs as she finishes curling her hair.
"There's a big difference between a father and a dad. Anyone can be a father but it takes love and time to be a dad. Something Ellington will give your baby more than enough of." Rydel says with a satisfied grin.
"Okay but you're going to be the one explaining this situation to the kids." Trish says with a slight smirk.
"I think it'll work." Ashley joins the conversation. "I mean Trish is family now so it makes sense."
"You're right. But we might not need Ell to act as daddy." I grin as I finish the last of her eye makeup. Her eyes fly open and she looks at me skeptically.
"And why would that be?" She asks slowly.
"You'll see after tonight." I smirk, both Austin and I think Trish and Dez are made for each other. Even their costumes match.
Austin's POV
Jesus Christ. Girls take forever to get ready. Us guys have been ready for at least 30 minutes and we need to leave soon plus my mom wants pictures.
"Seriously, how long does it take to get ready for a party?" Ryland whines from his seat on the couch. Then we hear footsteps coming down the stairs. First down the stairs is Ashley in a floor length sparkled light blue dress and silver sparkled shoes while her blond hair is up in a large bun thing on top of her head with a small silver tiara and a silver swirled mask coving her eyes. The Cinderella to Elliot's price charming attire.
"Ash you look beautiful." Elliot says staring at her in complete love.
"Thank you." She whispers. "You don't look so bad yourself." Her lips twitch into a smile. Behind her appears Rydel in a red knee length dress with a bow just below her boobs and above her small bump. A pair of red and white polka dot shoes to match her ears and mask.
"That's my fiancée." Ratliff shouts proudly pointing to Rydel in her Minnie Mouse costume to match his Mickey Mouse costume. She joins him to sit on his lap just as Kayla, Trish and Ally come into the livingroom altogether. Holy fuck Ally looks so beautiful as Juliet. In all gold she's just the picture of perfection. Trish is going as Bella Swan from twilight. She's even got the foot strap, and I have to say it's quite comical how her and Dez are in matching costumes. Both of them ripping the piss out of twilight, with Dez looking like a very pale stripper covered in silver glitter and wearing a plain black suit.
"Oh man." Riker smirks, also noticing the matching costume.
"What?" Trish asks worriedly. "Does my bump look really bad in this dress? Are my feet swollen? Am I-"
"Trish calm down. You look beautiful, it's just you and Dez appear to be matching." Ally smirks nodding towards Dez.
"Have I met you before?" Trish asks a rather confused.
"Nope. I don't think so, I'm Dez." He grins like an idiot.
"Trish, I'm 17 and pregnant." She deadpans.
"I don't care." He shrugs and I look back to see what Kayla is wearing. Going as Princess Jasmine she has a long floaty blue dress with purple stitching on the chest, a pair of blue flats and a blue wired mask. Rocky, Riker and Ryland are all being her date and with Rocky dressed as James Bond, basically him in a black suit with a black mask, Riker dressed as the Joker with full makeup and all that jazz and Ryland dressed as Dracula they look a strange bunch. Jess and Mikey look on in awe at our costumes.
"You guys look great." My mom says cheerily as she comes in the livingroom with my dad following closely behind with his camera. "Let's get a group shot first then we can get the couples or other little groups." We arrange ourselves with Ashley and Elliot on one end, Ally and I on the other, Trish next to Ally followed by Dez then Riker, Rocky and Ryland and Rydel and Ratliff next to Ash and Elliot. After one of us just smiling I lean in and plant a kiss on Ally's cheek causing her to blush just as a second picture was taken.
"You look beautiful." I whisper in her ear softly.
Ally's POV
We get out if the limo which was hired by the record label as our transport for tonight and onto the long roll of silver carpet. It seems like Trish and Dez have hit it off well, they talked quietly in the limo all the way her and now they're walking together with their arms linked.
Rydel's POV
An hour or so into the party is when we're scheduled to perform so in the meantime Ell and I dance stupidly to the music being mixed by the DJ. All of a sudden Ell pulls me in close, so he can whisper in my ear over the loud music.
"Do you have any idea how sexy you look right in that dress?" He nips at my neck and earlobe.
"Just wait another hour for our set then we can stay for a little while after that, then we can say I'm tired and we're getting a cab back to the house." I whisper-shout with a seductive smirk playing on my lips.
"This is why I love you Lynch." He laughs as he pulls me into a hug and lifts me off the ground.
Austin's POV
Ally and I have been dancing closely for the full night, me of course being the perfect Romeo to her Juliet and not trying anything.
"Hello. We're R5 and we're gonna sing a few songs so let's do this." Riker says from the stage. "1...2. 1, 2, 3, 4."
Treasure/Get Lucky mashup.
Ally dances sexily to the beat of the music. I turn her around placing my hands on her waist and pulling her backside closer into my front.
Dez' POV
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?" I ask Trish, sitting on one section of the 'S' shaped seat while she sits in the other out in the lobby.
"Not yet, I find out at my next appointment which is in a week and a bit. I just want to know now though." Trish says impatiently.
"Well then if you don't know what do you want?" "I really don't mind. As long as I've got my baby I don't care if they're a boy or a girl." She shrugs. "I want them to have the best life they could have even if their father isn't in their life." She whispers in a sad tone. Does the father not want them? Was it rape? Did he even know to begin with?
"Hey." I lift her chin so she's looking into my eyes. "It's his loss. Besides he/she will have a kick ass family and an amazing mom." I lean in to whisper in her ear. "Maybe even a daddy who loves them like his own." Trish gasps in shock, pulling back slightly and searching my eyes for some hint of truth. "I don't know what it is with you but I have never felt like this before, not even ham, and I really like ham." I grin at her.
"You're such a goof." Trish laughs before leaning in for a soft kiss. I pull away gently, slowly and smile softly at her, looking past the mask and into her deep eyes. Suddenly she starts giggling uncontrollably, she has a cute giggle.
"What's so funny?" I ask pouting my bottom lip out.
"You look like a gay stripper with all the glitter you've got on." She says through a new wave of hysterics.
"Ha-ha, very funny Trish." I say ironically. "I know I'm hilarious." She says with a cheeky grin on her lips.
I have to admit this wasn't my best chapter but I wanted to get my concert experience posted and this chapter was almost at a bit I could stop so I apologise for the jumping POVs and the slack of detail to the party, there will be more in the next chapter which will still partially be the ball.
Okay so if you don't know what I mean by the seat it's kind of like the one in Wild Child where Poppy and Freddie are talking, I'm pretty sure they talk there a few times in the movie so yeah...if you've seen the the movie then you'll know what I'm talking about and if not then I'm just babbling on. So anyway...
I went to the Glasgow R5 concert and it was perfect. Despite the rubbish Scottish weather making it so I looked like a drowned rat and like I'd peed myself in my meet and greet pictures. But on the bright side there's so much rydellington in my funny meet and greet picture and I hugged Ross and got a hug off of Rocky. I also asked Mark if he would adopt me but because of my accent he though I was asking him if he was a doctor and then when he heard what I actually said he laughed and shook his head:( and Ell twerked on Rydel, if any of you have saw the video that was taken from about 3 rows in front of me. And you know how people say Ross stares at people when he sings and it's quite intimidating...it really is and that was just when he did it in my general direction, my friend was the same as me I was like 'I didn't really know what to do I didn't know if I should stare back or not so I stared back for a bit then looked at Riker' and my friend was like 'I just stared back.' Oh and the changes Cali Girls to Scottish Girls, I love the way Ross says Scottish it's so...not Scottish. Oh and before the meet and greet Ryland was on stage and me and my friends shouted at him and waved and he just nodded we were like 'k den' it was quite funny though. And Sav waved at me. Oh and Mark called me sweetie when we were checking in for the meet and greet. The whole night was just perfect, the only thing was they didn't do a signing which was quite gutting.
As always thank you for your support both new and continued, I know I'm not the best at updating regularly but I've now kind of got an idea for how I want this to end plus a few options for an epilogue so at least now I have some idea in my head of where I want this to go.
