Ross
I reach the hide out and walk to the tree house me and my siblings made when we were little. It brought back so many memories.
I look at the tree Rydel slipped out of and broke her arm. I remember when Riker was 13 and we all went skinny dipping in the lake. So many memories.
I climb the tree house and set my bag aside. I should have brought a pillow. Dammit. I look up at the roof and see the R5 symbol on it. I smile at the memory when we were trying to paint it up there. That was years ago back when we were a family. When I didn't have a crush on my older brother.
I sit down and lean against the wall. Tears start to roll down my cheeks again. Why does this happen to me? Why? What did I ever do to deserve all of this? Nothing.
Why does Rydel care so much about me? Why isn't she like the rest of them? I don't get it. Why would she give a shit about me? Im a worthless freak.
Speaking of Rydel she's calling me.
Phone convo: ro: Ross ry: rydel
Ro: hello?
Ry: hey Ross.
Ro: rydel I just left.
Ry: I know Ross but I miss you. Please can I come?
Ro: Delly. No.
Ry: why not Ross?
She says and I can tell she's crying even more.
Ro: fine you can come. But don't tell the others please I need to be away from them.
Ry; alright I won't. Are you at the hide out?
Ro: yeah.
Ry: alright I'll be there soon. Byyee.
Ro: bye.
End of convo.

Rydel POV
I hang up the phone and wipe my tears. I pack my bag with a few clothes and head downstairs. I set my bag my the door and storm into the living room.
"I hope y'all are happy! Ross left because of all of you! Look at the way you people treat him. He's your son." I say and point to mom and dad. "And he's your younger and other brother." I say to Riker, rocky, and Ryland. "Just because of this one little crush you all have to ignore him and treat him differently? Just know that, that little crush to Ross was way more than that. It would be so bad if you didn't pretend Riker. I thought we were a family through thick and thin. I guess I was wrong. Because if we loved each other and stuck together as a family you wouldn't have done that." I say pointing to Riker speaking to him at the end.
"Why do you always stick up for him?" Ryland asks.
"Why? Because he's my younger brother and I love him! I could care less about all of you right now!" I say and Ryland stands up and gets right in my face.
"Just because I didn't accept the little in-cest fag-got doesn't give you the right to hate me." He bickers.
"Stop saying that! It does! It's one thing to not accept him but it's another one to treat him like a stranger and ignore him. He's your older brother you should respect him and look up to him."
"So what your saying I should follow in his footsteps and develop feelings for Rocky or you?" He says and laughs. "I'm not gay. I'm straight."
I lose control of myself and slap him across the face. He's shocked along with me and everyone else. I stare wide eyed at him and feel a burning sting in my left cheek. So bad I fall to the ground. He slapped me. Ryland slapped me.
I get up and shuffle to the door holding my cheek. I grab my bag and run out the door then down the road. Wow 2 hits in one day. But the first one wasn't met to happen but Ryland's was. I guess I kinda deserved it for hitting him but he's talking bad about Ross. His older brother. I just don't understand them. At all.
