That night i couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned, searching for the sleep in me. I couldn't. The only thought in my mind was the man. My father. He didn't deserve that name anymore, after all that happen.. He's not my father anymore. Ellington was peacefully asleep beside me, i wish i could sleep that peacefully. But i can't. As hard as i try i can't.
I observed Ellington's feature's. His hair dropped into his eyes, i lightly moved the strands of hair from his face. When i moved the strand of hair i found a small bruise sitting beside the corner of his eye. I touched the bruise lightly trying not to wake him up. The man did this. I know he did. Ellington was struggling with him to get him out of the house, maybe he accidentally hit him. Or not. What if was on purpose? I shook my thoughts out of my head. I distracted myself by playing with Ellington's hair, until he started shuffling. His strong arms searched around for something until his arms touched my body he placed his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him. His eyes were still closed meaning he was still asleep. I checked the clock in our nightstand and it read "2:30". I should really go to bed right now. Or tomorrow i will be a living zombie.
I snuggled into Ell's bare chest planting a small kiss between his jawline, which made him wiggle around a bit. I closed my eyes and started counting sheep, eventually helping me sleep.

*"Rydel! Wake up! We need to go. Sweetie!" A voice called heavily shaking my body.
I slightly opened my eyes and saw Ell, "What?" I sleepily asked.
"R5 has a band meeting in 15 minutes. We need to go," Ellington rushed putting a shirt over his head.
"Why do i need to go?" I sighed throwing my face in the pillow again.
"Cause, Riker said you needed to be there," He answered, "Now, get up," He said pulling the blanket towards my ankles.
"Ell!" I whined earning a laugh from him, "Get up baby," He smiled.
"Fine," I sighed. I slowly got out of bed, and made my way towards the bathroom, to wash my teeth.
"Riley is going to stay with Lucy for a few hours, cause she can't be in the meeting," Ellington spoke from behind.
"Did you ask Lucy?" I question.
"Of course i did," He answered with a straight face.
"Okay then," I laughed.
I quickly got dressed, with some simple jeans and a graphic tee, white converse for shoes. I also did my makeup simple: powder, mascara, blush, and lipgloss.
"Let's go," Ellington called from downstairs.
"I'm coming!" I responded.

*We just dropped off Riley at Lucy's, and were on our way towards the band practice.
"Riker said he has big news," Ellington spoke.
"New tour?" I said barely audible. I don't want them to go on a tour to be honest with myself. I really need Ellington beside me right now. I can't go another year without him.
"No i don't think so. We just came back, and besides i would say no. I can't leave my family alone another year," He said looking at me for a few seconds before turning his gaze back on the road.
A few minutes later we were pulling into the studio. Ellington parked the car, and we quickly made our way towards the building.
"Studio C," Ellington spoke.
I looked around for the label studio C. Last door on the right. We made our ways towards the room to find my brothers and Rachel, some other people as well.
"Glad you could join us," Riker smiled. You could see he had bags under his eyes, all my brothers did. They didn't get much sleep either.
"Of course," I spoke softly. Ellington and I sat down in a empty seat beside Ross. I had to sit in Ellington's lap tho.
"Any way, yesterday afternoon i couldn't attend my family dinner cause i was planning a concert. Which i regret not attending, i heard a certain asshole had crashed the dinner. And i would totally have given him a beating," Ryland spoke. I totally had forgotten Ryland wasn't in the dinner.
"Back to the point, i met with some agents and they told me R5 could do a concert in L.A in two days," He said.
"Wait two days?" Rachel questioned.
"Yes, two days. But, here's the thing. Me and the boys had spoken that we would like for Rydel to have a special part in the concert," Ryland smiled looking towards me.
What?! Two days, concert? I don't know if i'm ready for this. Am i ready for this?
"That would be awesome Rydel! Just like old times don't you think?" Ellington cheerfully said.
"Yeah, of course it would," Rachel smiled.
"So what do you think?" Rocky asked.
"I, um i'm-m totally flattered but, i'm not part of the band anymore," I sighed running a hand threw my hair.
"Slightly true. But, you could be," Riker spoke.
"But it's R5, not R6!" Rachel exclaimed. Riker raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"I mean.. How can there be six of us?" She spoke more softly this time.
"That i don't know. But maybe it could be R5 featuring Rydel Lynch?" Ross proposed.
"The fans won't like that," Rocky shook his head.
"Well, we will figure this out later. Let's focus on the songs were going to sing first," Riker said.
"Wait, i haven't said yes yet," I said thinking out loud. But no one could hear me because of all the boys voices yelling out songs names at the same time. Which caused the other people who were in the room to start talking as well.
"I need some fresh air," I spoke into Ellington's ear before going out the door.
I walked around the whole building, with thoughts in my head. Should i really do this concert?
I miss being on stage. I miss the fans. I miss the feeling of the loud music covering my ears. I miss the excitement before every show. I miss R5.
I think i'm gonna do it..
My thoughts were interrupted by something i saw. I wished my eyes were betraying me. But they weren't. This is real, that is real. I closed my eyes and opened them again, but the image was still there. I felt a tear drop onto my cheek.
The man i'm engaged with. The man i have a child with. The man i love.
Is kissing another women.
