{Ryley's POV} "OH MY GOSH!! EMILY!!" I leaped into her arms. "Surprise" She giggled. "Mmmmmm okay well I'm gonna-" I stoped Hunter in his tracks. "Noooo Baaaabbbeeee" I said running over and knocking him down. "Can I throw up now?" Emily laughed. All of a sudden she stopped laughing and stood still. I turned my head to see Brandon. "I missed you so damn much Emily" "I- Miss us"
I looked at Hunter and mouthed "Let's leave" he nodded, we got up, he took my hand and we left to go to the stage for rehearsal. "REHEARSAL STARTS NOW" The stage manager called. "Um, see Brandon kinda is talking to his ex right now and-" The man cut me off. "Lady, I don't care" "Listen here Mr. His ex is also my cousin and best friend so I'd watch it---" Hunter pulled me back and turned me to face him. "Is you okay?" He said in his valley girl voice. I smiled "Ohhh shaquesha I'm better then good" "Ooooo gurl, what is you" Hunter continued. "Ohhh gurl I'm Bon-Great" Hunter looked at me and started hysterically laughing . "Ohhh Bon-que-que" Hunter smiled.
Brandon and Emily rushed in holding hands. "We are back" Brandon smiled. "Okay then lets go over then show plan. First we let the VIPs backstage, next we do the show portion and then we do the meet and greet. During the show portion you guys will first dance a bit, play truth or dare, get the crowed to answer questions, have a few dance offs and sing a few songs and then we are off the stage. Got it?" Everyone nodded their heads. "Don't we want it to be original so we shouldn't have to rehearse" Hunter smiled. "Fine. But stay in the building. Fans will be here at 4" We all smiled and ran off stage to meet backstage.
{Emily's POV} I miss Brandon. I miss his hugs and him in general.I wish we didn't break up. So many regrets. I'm just glad that I'm here now and nothing can change that.
{Hunter's POV} "Guys, let's just chill in the dressing rooms" I smiled. "Okay...... LAST ONE THERE GETS A TWEET POSTED BY THE WINNERS!!" Ryley shouted grabbing my hand and pulling me down to the rooms. Me and Ryley got there first and Emily got there last. Me and Ryley smiled at each other. We tweeted out : "Guys, this is really hard to say but Me and Brandon are dating again:)" Ryley then proceeded to throw Emily's phone at Ashton and Ashton started running, then went Brandon and Emily after him so it was just me and Ryley. "I wannnnaaaa cuddle" Ryley pouted. "But I wanna play on my phoone" I pouted. "I have a solution"

(Not a controller, a phone) "Yay!!" Ryley smiled. I chuckled a little bit at how excited Ryley was to cuddle with me. All of a sudden My mom walked in. "Omg, you guys are too cute" Ryley blushed and then my mom left. For the rest of the time we had left it was basically just me and Ryley looking at fans posts and checking out fan accs.
*Skip to 4* The VIPs started to pour in. All of a sudden Ryley's phone went off. "From mom. Be right back" She smiled.
{Ryley's POV} <The phone call> R-Mom, hello? Mom- We-we lost the baby.
I was shocked. How could this happen? Why? What is happening? I couldn't speak.
Mom- Ryley, we lost the baby and your fathers leaving me because of it.
I instantly broke down into tears and collapsed to the floor. Hunter came in right away and kneeled down with me. "Baby, what's wrong?" "Hunter. Mom lost the baby and because of it....... my dad is leaving" He didn't say another word. He ran off to the stage. All I heard was talking into the microphone. "Guys I'm so sorry but we have to cancel the tour stop. My brother has struck ill and we can't perform. I'm so sorry guys. I love you all." I instantly started crying more. Why would he stop the tour for me? I'm just some stupid girl. He came running back into the room and sat down next to me while the stage manager was clearing everyone out and everyone was getting their stuff together. Hunter kept trying to comfort me but honestly, I don't want to be comforted. My ears are ringing, I feel like I'm going insane, I feel like I'm about to throw up. What's happening to me?
In a matter of 2 hours we were all ready to go back to the hotel and book a flight home. The whole car ride home I was uncontrollably sobbing.
Once we got into the hotel I climbed in under the covers with Hunter wrapped around me. He hasn't said a word to me since we were at the venue. I feel like he feels sorry for me. I don't want anyone to feel bad for me. Especially Hunter I mean, he's comforting his girlfriend while looking up planes back to AZ that he's spending his tour money on. I tried to stop him. I took his phone away from him but he insisted. I don't want him to freaking pay.
"Ryley, 4 AM. How dose that sound?" "Y-y-eah" I hid my face in his chest. "I love you Ryley. I'm here okay?" I didn't respond. All I did was put my hand over his heart on his chest. He put his hand on top of mine so I think he got the message. Everything feels so off right now I mean. I just lost my baby sister or brother and my dad in one day. I can't believe this. I've never been like this, ever. I just hope that everything goes okay. I'm looking forward to my sleep. I have to wake up at 2 AM so we can be at the airport and on the plane by 4 AM. I quickly drifted off to sleep, holding on to Hunter tightly with tear stained cheeks.
