"Come on! We're gonna be late!" I yell from downstairs. And they say GIRLS take long to be ready?! You see it's not every days that your manager tells you that she has a good new but that you're gonna actually like.

For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce myself: I'm Laura Marano. I'm an actress/singer/songwriter. I'm known for my current role as Ally Dawson in Austin&Ally with my co-star and best friend Ross Lynch. Yeah, he's the one who takes so long to get ready! Before you ask, no we aren't a couple! We just are really close friend who happen to live in the same apartment because we hang out with each other a lot. And by that I really mean A LOT! So we figured it would be easier to live in the same apartment. Okay don't judge, it was Ross idea!

Anyways, we are now going to Hollywood Records Building because Sam (my manager) told us that she has an awesome new for me. And by me she meant us or else she wouldn't ask Ross to come.

"I'm coming! Jeez Laura relax. The building is 3 minutes away from here, we won't be late"he says running downstairs. His hair looks like a mess, as usual. But even with that I can't stop myself for thinking that he looks so cute.

What? I didn't say anything wrong! The guy is cute and he knows it!

"Yeah well still. She said it was important and I really don't want to make a bad impression."

He gives me the Are-You-sure look.

"What?" I sigh even though I already know what he's going to say.

"You sure it isn't because she said that you are gonna like the surprise she got you and that you're way too curious?"he says smirking.

Damn, am I really that transparent? Before I could answer anything, my phone rings and Sam's number appears on my screen with a text message:

From: Samy_Sam

To: Laur

Hey guys! Sorry but our meeting today is canceled. I have last minutes plans that I can't cancel. Maybe next time ;)

"Ugh, great! Now I won't know what was my surprise and I got all dressed up for nothing!"I groan. This lady is really driving me nuts!

"Okay, you know what? Go put some comfortable shoes and meet me on the porch in 5 minutes. How does that sound?"he tells me with a smile that makes my heart melt. Okay, okay! I might have...a little...tiny crush on him but h's my best friend, I can't think of him that way! And he's hot, famous talented, he can have any other girls that he wants...and I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me like that!

"Laura? Laura? Did you hear me?"he asks waving his hand in front of my face.

"Uhm yeah! Sorry I'm just really tired today." I 's partly true. I can't tell him that I've been thinking about him that way, he'll freak out and then leave me. No, it can't happen.

"Okay then go change we're going for a walk."he smiles a little even though he looks like he cares about me. Wait - Awww! He does care about me!

"Okay..." is all I answer before I run to my bedroom and change myself into something more comfortable.

"Ross, it's gonna rain!" I exclaim. We've been walking down the houses for the past half hour and I won't say that I didn't like it. Many times I started fighting with myself over if I should hold his hand or not. But now that the rain is starting, I guess I'll have to move that to later.

"Run, Laur Run!" he yells through the rain, laughing. See, it's in those moments that you can see the childish Ross, the one that I would never admit to myself that I lo- really like.

As we stop at a traffic light to catch breath, I hear sobs in a corner of the street. My curiosity takes the lead as I make my way to the little noise. It's sounds quiet, yet I hear it loud and clear.

"Wait Laura! Where are you going" I hear Ross yelling behind me. He starts following me, against his will. I'm pretty sure it's because I have the keys of our apartment and he can't go home and leave me here even if he wanted.

But my thoughts stop there when I see a teen, soaking wet from the rain, cuddling with a cardboard, on the ground, crying.

I freeze there, not knowing what to do. Then I hear Ross coming behind me, breathless. He looks up and follow my gaze. Three minutes of silent pass, before Ross decides to break it.

"Hey. Are you okay? What's your name?"he asks, kneeling down to her level, so basically on the ground. She doesn't answer but looks so vulnerable and hurt that I'm not sure of what i'm saying next.

"She needs to come home with us Ross. She can't stay here!"

Ross looks at me for a minute, searching my eyes, before giving up and helping the girl to stand up. We all walk fast home since it's still raining.

As I enter in and close the door behind me, I'm immediately welcomed by the heat of the apartment. We go in the kitchen. Ross makes us three hot chocolate and comes sit with us at the table. We watch her intensively while she's drinking, and I ask myself how did she ended up there?!

After 15 minutes, she finishes her 5th cup, she needed to eat or drink apparently. All goes quiet. I sigh and turn my head to her and ask:

"So...We really want to help you with no matter what you're going through. But for that, we need to know you and your story...So let's start with your name, alright?"

She nods hesitantly, sighs and then says in the smallest voice ever heard.

"My name's Tia."

Hey there! So I know it's been so long since I updated and I'm like really sorry. But it's because I've been recently to Belgiun's Got Talent with my choir (Voice Of Angels) and we're on finale now! #WOO #WOO

Anyways, thanks for reading! R&R!
