Chapter One

"What?! Laura, come here, read this!"

Laura perked up at the mention of her name. She quickly walked over to him, tilting her head.

"What's wrong, Ross?" She asked.

Ross shoved the magazine in her face. The article read "Is Ross' solo career tearing R5 apart?" Laura furrowed her brow, reading it over. He wasn't tearing his family band apart. That was ludicrous.

"Don't let it bug you, Ross. You're not tearing R5 apart. It's just a stupid article, no biggy," Laura said, trying to comfort him.

"No biggy?! It's just lies! I'm going to send a complaint to this writer, because it's false," Ross said, trying to sound demanding.

Laura sighed, taking a seat next to him. They were friends, and that's all they were. She had feelings for him, romantic feelings. But she was scared to tell him. She didn't want to ruin their friendship. The only other person who knew was Raini. She always told Laura to tell Ross how she felt. But Laura could never work up the courage. Ross throw the magazine across the room in anger, snapping Laura out of her though. He glared at the article, growling a tiny bit. Why was he letting it get to him? Laura was right, no biggy, just an article. But, for some reason, it bugged him. It really, really bugged him. Laura nudged Ross, trying to bring him back to reality. Ross blinked, looking at Laura. Man, she looked so beautiful right now. Wait, what was he thinking. He didn't like Laura. They were just friends, right?

"Ross, you okay?" Laura asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Um...Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Positively fine," Ross replied, giving a slight nod.

Laura gave Ross a quick hug before walking out of the dressing room. Maybe, maybe they were more then friends. But, they were just friends. Right? Ross sat in silence, just trying his best to not think about Laura. For some reason, he couldn't stop thinking about her. It was just something about that girl.

"Ross! Snap out of it!" Raini called out, "It's time to get back to the set!"

Ross got up immediately, glancing at the magazine one last time before dashing out onto the set. Ross kept his mind and eyes focused on Laura, while still doing his lines. It was just something about her. She just had a special quality that no one else ever had. After the shooting, Ross sat at home, lying down in his bed. He just kept thinking about Laura. But, they were just friends...right?

"Ross!" Rydel called, knocking on Ross's door, "Com'on! It's time for rehearsal!"

Ross blinked a few times. Rehearsal? For what...? Quickly, he remembered that he was in a band. R5. How could he forget?

"Crap! Sorry Rydel. I totally forgot," Ross admitted, running out of his room.

"Forgot? How could you forget? Ross, you never forget our band," she asked, a bit concerned.

"I'm fine. Just, can't really focus," Ross said, shrugging.

Rydel rolled her eyes, wondering what was up with her brother. Ross never acted this strange.

"Ross, What's wrong? You're acting really strange," Rydel asked, tilting her head.

"Me?" Ross said in a squeaky voice, "I'm not acting strange."

Ross pulled off a fake smile. He was acting weird. Acting very weird. Because he just kept thinking about Laura. And, Laura was thinking of Ross too. She was hanging out with Raini at her house.

"So? Have you told Ross yet?" Raini asked, sitting down on Laura's couch.

"No, I haven't. Yet. And I don't think I will. I don't want to ruin our friendship," Laura replied, sighing.

"You shouldn't hide your feelings. And you know that. You've got to tell him, Laura," Raini said.

"But...I can't...It'll ruin everything. And...I value our friendship over everything else..." Laura stated, turning her head away.

She sighed again. It was bugging her. She needed to tell Ross. She needed to tell him now. Or at least the next time she saw him. She wanted to be more the friends. She wanted to be his girlfriend and she wanted to love him. But, if he didn't feel the same, their friendship would be ruined. And, she couldn't risk something as big as that. Maybe, maybe the next time she saw him...She'll tell him. Raini nudged Laura.

"Next time I see him, I'll tell him. After all, I'd love to be more then friends. Right?"
