Raura [ON HOLD]

I was in the kitchen sweeping the floor when I heard something, or more like someone. I turned and saw:

Ness.

"Why'd you leave so suddenly? Everyone is still greeting." She asked me.

"We have work to do." Is all I say.

"C'mon Laur, you're never eager to work." She said skeptically.

"Okay... fine... one of the blonde guys we just met made me feel.. weird. I had to get out of there." I said half smiling.

"H-how so?" Ness said shakily.

Weird -.-

"Well.....okay. I... sorta...kinda... mayhavealittlecrushonhim." I said, ignoring her shaky voice.

"What?" She said confused.

"I sorta like him okay." I said scratching my arm. "And I thought he liked me for a second, but then the next he's treating me like....well like a maid."

"Okay.. well first off, you kinda are his maid and second you can't like Riker." She said quickly.

"Riker? I wasn't talking about....WAIT." I said in realization. "You like Riker don't you!"

"Whaaaaaat? Psh no." She said.

I stared at her smugly.

"What?"

I continued to stare.

"Okay I like him! God!" She said covering her face. Aww.

"Knew it." I said.

"Yeah, yeah. Wait.. So you like that Ross guy?"

"Kinda." I smiled.

"So we both like our bosses, huh?" She said.

"We're screwed." We both said at the same time. Then laughed.

"Let's just ignore it..." Ness finally said. "It's not like.. we have any chance with them."

"Yeah.. let's just, continue sweeping."

8 hours later (4:00 pm)

I went up to go clean the rooms upstairs and was nervous.

Ever since the new guys got here.. they've spent all of their time upstairs.

I just didn't want to bump into any of them. Especially not.. him.

I've never even seen their rooms. Mrs. Lynch had them cleaned before they went on tour and she locked them. Instructing us not to clean them until they came back.

They obviously wouldn't be dirty so fast, so I mainly came upstairs to clean the bathrooms. Yay.

I entered the first bathroom and got to work.

I was in the middle of scrubbing the floor when I heard someone approach and stop at the door. Rydel.

She smiled at me sheepishly. "Hi."

"Umm.. Hey." Is all I said, still scrubbing.

"I just.. can't help feeling embarrassed. I mean you look younger than me and you're cleaning our disgusting bathrooms." She wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Well.. It's kinda my job." I giggled. "How old are you?"

She giggled too. "I'm 21."

"19."

"See? It's weird." She smiled again.

I smiled too. Nodding.

"Tell you what. After you're done with... this." She gestured around the bathroom with a disgusted face, "Come to my room. Third door on the left. We're gonna have fun." She winked at me.

"But.."

"No buts." She said before leaving.

I sighed before continuing to scrub. Oh well. Maybe this will be fun.

10 minutes later

After I finished cleaning the bathroom I headed towards Rydel's room. Nervous.

I knocked on the door and she opened it almost instantly.

"Come in." She said, pulling me in.

I stumbled in and looked around. Her room was pink. All kinds of pink.

"Woah." I said.

"I know right?" She smiled at me. "Sit."

"Okay." I said sitting on her bed. "So how was it?" I asked.

"What?"

"The tour? Was it cool being surrounded by your five brothers?"

"The tour was awesome!" She squealed. "Five? I only have four brothers: Riker, Rocky, Ross and Ryland. And no, being with them in a tour bus for three months wasn't the best."

"And Ellington?"

"Oh.. Umm h-he's just a.. family friend. We call him Ratliff." She said blushing.

"Oh. Are you all in the band? And.. I hope you don't mind me asking but, do you have a crush on Ratliff or something?" I casually asked.

"No, Ryland, my youngest brother, isn't in R5. He's more into the business side of the industry." She said.

"A-and no. I don't l-like Ratliff." She said, a little too quickly.

I kept staring at her, like I stared at Ness earlier when I asked her about Riker.

"Ugh.. Is it that obvious?" She said, giving up.

"Yes." I said laughing.

"Shut up! Don't tell anyone!" She playfully punched me in the arm.

"Don't worry." I said, making a gesture that I was zipping my lips.

"Okay... Thanks."

"No problem." I smiled. "Do you mind if I listen to one of your tracks?" I asked changing the subject.

"Not at all." She said handing me an iPod.

I put the earbuds in and pressed play to the first song I saw. It read:

(I can't) Forget about you - R5

The song started.

"Wow. This is.. So good!" I told Rydel.

"Is this Riker in the beginning?" I asked her, handing her a headphone.

"Yup. FYI, I'm on the keyboard."

"Sick."

Then came his voice.

Baby, I think I've lost my mind,
Feels like you crashed into my life,
I think I'm losin' track of time,
I'm so messed up, yeah

I was mesmerized. His voice was intoxicating. Oh my god.

"Do you guys write your songs.." I asked, still not fully there.

"Yeah. We do. Cool huh?"

"Yeah. You know I write a few songs so maybe we could.."

Suddenly someone opened Rydel's door. Ross.
