Ready Set Rockin , an R5 story

Chapter 5

I looked up to see Rocky standing sorrowfully with his hands in his pockets. I wiped my eyes and turnd on my car. Driving back to my house. I ran inside and didn't even bother to go to my room. I just crashed on the couch. I sat there and cried for an hour. Then I decided that I should just clean myself up. I went into the bathroom and almost burst into tears at the sight. My eye was black, not purple but black. I sighed as I wiped my face with a wet wash cloth and cleaned up all the make up smeared all over my face.

I needed some air so I grabbed my phone and hoodie before heading out the door. I threw on my hoodie and just started to walk. I walked for a couple of hours until I was unfortunate enough that Rocky and his family drove by on their way home from school. They pulled over next to me and I sped up a little. "Olivia! Wait! Why don't you come and hang out?" Rydel called from the car. I didn't want to actually turn around so I just yelled back, "fine!" And walked to their house, I stood off to the side as they all got out of the van, Rydel came over to me, Rocky following soon after. I pulled by hood down and backed away from him, Rydel steered me toward the house and away from Rocky.

Rydel and I went into the den area where they had put their band stuff for rehearsals. We sat down on the couch they had down there. "Are you okay?" She asked softly, I slowly shook my head. "Can I see at least?" She asked really worried. I slowly took my hood off and looked at her. A gasp came from her and the stairs behind her. Rocky's mom Stormie came over to us. "Honey! What happened! Oh my..." She said looking at my eye, I looked down. "I was kinda....punched.." I said sadly. Jennifer put her hands on her hips sternly. "Who did this I am going to give them such a talking to!" Rydel squirmed a little, "he didn't mean to mom I swear!" She blurted.

"So you know who did this! And we aren't out confronting this jerk?" She almost scolded. I looked at Rydel, almost for approval to tell her. "She's going to find out eventually." Rydel shrugged. I sighed, "You're not going to like it..... But it was... Rocky..." As soon as those words left my mouth Stormie was stomping up the stairs. "ROCKY MARK LYNCH!!!!GET DOWN HERE NOW!" She yelled as she got to the top of the stairs, I threw my hoodie back on and pushed as far back onto the couch as I could. I really didn't want this to happen but I can't stop it now.

Stormie stomped back down the stairs dragging Rocky by his ear, his face both guilt and fear. I pulled my hood down further. They stop in front of the couch. "Honey, can you please take off your hood." Stormiest said, not asked but said. I slowly took my hood off and looked at them. Rocky went pail, "Look at this! You hurt this poor girl." She scolded him. I stood up really fast, I could feel the tears once again. "Um I actually have to go home now." I said running up the stairs and through their house. I almost made it to their door, but of course I had to run into everyone else. "Olivia I am so sorry about earlier." Ryland said coming over to me, he saw my face right as I heard Rocky yelling for me. "Hide me please." I begged. Ryland motioned for Ross, who rushed me up the stairs. We came to a hallway with a tone of doors, he led me into one of them that was at the end.

It must have been Rydel's room because it was covered in pink and hello kitty. I sat down on the little couch that was in there as Ross looked at my eye. "He really got you good huh? I'm so sorry." He apologized. "It's okay, but I can't go home like this." I said pointing to my eye. Ross put his hands in his pockets and shuffled his feet a bit. "Well you could, stay here.." He suggested. I almost laughed at that. "Oh ya totally, it's not like the guy that punched me lives down the hall or anything. But... I can't stay with Liz... She's on vacation for the rest of the week. If I just stay in here do you think we could just not tell Rocky?" I asked Ross sweetly, I tried to smile but I cringed instead.

Ross smiled. "Of course, so everyone else can know just not Rocky right?" He asked, I nodded. "But I need to get some stuff from my house though. So... If someone can get Rocky away from the door so I can go out then again when I come back."

Ross nodded again before disappearing out Rydel's door. A couple of minutes later Riker appeared and told me we had a couple of minutes to get out. We rushed out the door and he came with me over to my house. I grabbed a duffle bag and shoved a bunch of clothes in there, I also grabbed my tablet, chargers and toiletries. We rushed over to their front door again but stopped and texted Ross to distract Rocky again. He texted it was clear and we rushed up the stairs, halfway up we heard Ross at the top of the stairs. "Oh! Wait Rocky! We need to still go over those song ideas! I still have some!" Ross yelled, Riker and I ran so fast up the stairs I almost tripped.

I made it into Rydel's room just as Ross's door opened. "No Ross! Look here's Riker, go over them with him. I need to think of a way to get Olivia back." Rocky said as he came out of Ross's room. He sounded really depressed, but you know he made this bed, he has to lay in it.
