Here's another chapter of this story. Just a reminder, that there will only be a few chapters left of this story. There also might be a sequel, but I'm not quite sure. Anyhow, I probably will not be updating any of my stories tomorrow, due 9-4 practices for color guard. Oh well let's get on with the story.

The 8th chapter

"You're joking, right?!" I asked astonished. How the heck did I not notice this?

"Um… No, I'm not joking." Ratliff replied while avoiding eye contact.

"What! You have a crush on my sister! For how long have you had a crush on her?" I asked still astonished.

"Th-th-three y-y-ye-years." Ratliff admitted

After he said 3 years I stopped walking. HE had to have been joking, because I would've noticed something right?

I mean yea he spends a lot of his time with Rydel. And he is always looking at Rydel through rehearsal. And he's also always sitting by Rydel, when he gets the chance to. Yea, he's probably closer to Rydel then the rest of us, and he-

"Whoa! You like Rydel!" I shouted, not caring if the world heard us.

Therefore, before Ratliff could respond Robin started pulling us in the direction of the beach. And I have to say, to have her hand on my arm, feels as if a million fireworks are going off. I also could tell she felt it too because she started blushing. Anyways back to the matter at hand.

"Come on you 2, we really have to get to the beach, to save your sister and future girlfriend." Robin exclaimed.

In a matter of 10 min. we had reached the beach. In the same spot that the girls stuff was at, when we noticed they were missing. Rocky, Ross, and Ryland were there waiting for us, when we got there.

"What's the plan, Riker?" Ross asked me

"Um… I don't know." I answered

"Uh, then what do we do, then?" Ross asked, then he noticed Robin "Who are you?"

"I'm Robin, Ratliff's cousin. Anyways I have a plan that could work." Robin stated

"Oh and Really! What's the plan?" Ross asked eager to know

"Well how about 2 of us leave and hide behind something close by, so we can keep watch. And when they come to take the money, you can talk and act like you're going to follow them when they take the money. And they'll get scared drug you or something, then they'll take you away, and the 2 people will follow them. Understood?" Robin finished.

That said we all stared at her in shock at how she came up with that plan in so little time.

"Holy Moly! And you just came up with that?!" Rocky exclaimed

"Yes. Now quick someone come with me, SO WE DON'T GET CAUGHT!" Robin exclaimed while grabbing my arm and pulling me behind a building.

"What? Why'd you choose me?" I asked curiously and still a little in shock.

"Uh…um…" Robin stalled

Back with Rydel. (Rydel's P.O.V.)

I had just regained consciousness after all the kicking and everything, and man I was sore. Uh, I can barely sit up. I wish this was all a nightmare. And it would've been if I would've listened to their warning. You heard me right; we have met Jake and Shane before. Therefore, Jake and Shane are our ex-boyfriends. And don't get me wrong I didn't realize that's who they were, until I passed out. That was my nightmare that awoke me. The real nightmare part is the end. The Break-up part.

*Quick summary of nightmare*

I and Laura were walking downtown when we ran into these 2 cute guys. We apologized and took them out for coffee as payback kind of. We all got to know each other. At first glance I knew he would be sweet and kind to me, if we ever dated. And of course the next day, Shane asked me to be his girlfriend. And of course I said yes. Well after about a month things started going downhill. Shane started beating me, and hitting me. I then broke up with him the next day after our month anniversary. He took a knife and stabbed me. I managed to call the ambulance before I lost all consciousness.

And that's all I remember. Now I understand the saying, "Looks Can be Deceiving."

I then remembered that today was the day, they were planning on killing the boys, or they were going to drug them. I don't remember. All I know is that I hope they are safe! Especially Ellington.

That's all for now, due to having to help mom. Sorry my chapters don't seem complete. Thanks!
