Heey guys! I know I probably made you go into shock from the last chapter.. Sorry about that. But here we go :)
*Laura's POV*
I know what you're thinking. Why are you going to Ross Lynch's house after he was a total douche in school today? Well, we have a project due in two weeks and I don't want to jeopardize my grade for this. And I know he's hiding something and it's eating away at him. I just wanna help. I walked up the stairs to the top floor to find his room. 9R.
I finally found it! I knocked on the door. No answer.. I knocked again a little louder. "Ross? You home? I asked. No answer. I turned and started walking to leave. I then heard a loud..
THUD!
It was from Ross's apartment. I turned and ran back to his door. I didn't think there was a good chance his door would be unlocked but I gave it a go anyway. Wow.. It was unlocked. I looked around "Ross?" I shouted. No response. I was looking everywhere. I then looked to my left and saw the bathroom door open just a crack. I slowly opened it and I was devastated at what I found.
I found an unconscious Ross on the floor. His wrists were bleeding badly. He was deadly pale. If his chest wasn't moving I would've sworn he was dead. I looked over and I saw a razor covered in blood in the sink. My eyes went wide..
Oh my God! He tried to commit suicide! Was all I could think. But why? My heart sank. I saw a shelf in the bathroom. It had a whole stack of clean towels. I took two of them and slowly and carefully wrapped one around each one of his bleeding arms to try and stop the bleeding. He was becoming paler and paler as more blood came out.
After they were securely wrapped. I pulled out my phone and dialed 911. My hands were shaking like crazy and I was bawling my eyes out. "Hello. What's your emergency?" The man on the other line asked. "I f-found-my f-friend unconscious in his bathroom. I think he was cutting himself with a razor." I said through my tears. 'Okay sweetie, what's his name? How old is he? And where are you guys right now?" He asked. "H-his name is R-Ross Lynch. He's 16 years old and we're at 'Sunny Pastures Apartment Buildings' and we're in room 9R." I explained as I sobbed. "Okay. We'll be there within 15 minutes." He said. "O-Okay." I said. He then hung up.
I nervously slid my phone into my jeans pocket. Ross can't go. He's too young to die. I'll never forgive myself if he dies. I then heard a knock on the door. I ran to it and answered it. It was the paramedics. They had a gurney. I pointed to the bathroom door and they wheeled the gurney in and loaded an unconscious Ross onto it and left for the elevator.
I cleaned up the blood in the bathroom before leaving for the hospital. After I was done, I got in my car and drove to the hospital. My hands were shaking the whole way there. After I got in the parking lot, I figured I'd wait a little bit just in case they were doing tests or something on Ross. I turned on my car stereo to listen to music.
I realized that I was listening to a song and I had stopped it in the middle of the song. I listened to the rest of the song.
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Came to say, goodbye love
Goodbye
Just came to say, goodbye love
Goodbye love
Bye love
Hello..
Disease... (1)
I looked down. I changed it from CD to radio..
It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blink
It happens in a blink (2)
A tear escaped my eye. I changed the channel..
Na na
Na na na na na
I miss you
Miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh, it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day
You
Slipped Away
Was the day
I found it won't be the same
Ohh.. (3)
I lost it right then and there. I started full out bawling as the song continued..
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up?
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by..
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back.
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back.
What if Ross doesn't make it.. No! He's gonna make it. I-I know he will.. I got out of the car and slowly walked into the hospital. I went to the front desk. "May I help you?" The lady at the desk asked. "Ross Lynch?" I asked. She started typing in her computer. "Yes he's here but he's not allowed any visitors until he comes to." She explained. "But you're welcome to wait in the waiting room." She said. I nodded and walked over to a seat in the corner. I closed my eyes tightly.
Dear God, please let Ross be okay. I can tell he's suffering on the inside but I can help him. Just please don't take him away. Please..
I opened my eyes and sighed. I just sat there in complete silence for hours and hours. I wasn't doing anything. Just staring at the cold floor and waiting...
"Miss.. Miss..Wake up." Someone said as they gently shook me. I slowly opened my eyes to find a doctor talking to me. I stood up. "Is Ross gonna make it?" I asked nervously.
"He's fine.." He assured me. My heart relaxed. "Can I see him?" I asked. "Are you planning on staying overnight?" He asked. I nodded. "Than yes. He's in room 324. And he's awake." He said before leaving. Thank God! He's okay! I ran down the endless hallways until I found his room.

*Ross's POV*
I was laying in my hospital bed and staring at the bandages around my wrists. Who saved me? I heard footsteps walk in and I looked up to find.. Laura? I didn't think she'd come after what I said to her today.
"Hey.." She said as she made her way to my bedside. "What are you doing here? I thought you were mad at me.." I said sadly. She sat at my bedside. "I'm not mad. I could tell something was eating at you when you said all of that.." She said. I looked at her closely. Her eyes were bloodshot red. And more tears looked like they were going to come. "Are you.. Crying?" I asked.
She sniffed. "Well.. Seeing someone dying on the floor isn't exactly happy." She said as more tears fell. It clicked. She's the one that saved me!
"Y-You.. Saved me?" I asked stunned. She nodded. "How could you do that to yourself?! I was worried sick!" She said. I looked down and frowned. "I-I just.." I started. She looked at me and tilted her head a little. "You just what?" She asked.. I sighed.
"I just wanted to be with my family." I said. Laura's jaw dropped. "Your family's.. Dead?" She asked. I nodded.
There was a long awkward silence. Laura finally spoke up. "My dad took off on me and my mom and my mom died." I looked at her shocked. Wow. I didn't know someone else at my school knows what I'm going through..
"I was the second-youngest of five kids.." I said. Laura looked at me shocked. Wait by family you meant them too?" She asked. I nodded. "Ross, I am so sorry." She said comfortingly. "It's okay." I said.
"Laura.. The only reason I bully you is because I'm afraid to get close to you.." I admitted. "Why are you afraid?" She asked. "I'm afraid that something will happen to you like the accident with my family.. We got in a car crash and I slipped into a 3 week coma and when I woke up, the doctor said the rest of my family didn't make it.. I didn't want something to happen to you. My heart has been broken enough.." I this actually made me feel better. "Don't worry.. I'll be here for a long time." She said. We exchanged smiles.
She let out a yawn. "Sleepy?" I asked. She nodded. "Are you spending the night?" I asked. She nodded again. I could see her eyelids slowly starting to close. "I'm gonna sleep on the recliner.." She mumbled sleepily. "Just sleep here next to me. You look like you won't even manage to get to the recliner." I said. "I couldn't ask you to do that." She mumbled. "It's fine.. Just come here." I said as I opened my arms.
She was hesitant but did she slowly laid down next to me. I covered us both in the blanket and gently put my arms around her. Before I knew it, she was sound asleep. She rested her head against my chest. I smiled and let sleep take over as well..

With ?
*?'s POV*
I was sitting in my recliner at my house. I was watching the news. Lots of boring stuff.. But right when I was about to change the channel, something caught my attention..
Earlier today, a 16 year old boy by the name of Ross Lynch who lives in LA, tried to commit suicide. He tried to cut his wrists with a razor. If a teenage girl hadn't come and called 911, he probably would've been a goner. He's now recovering at "Los Angeles Hospital".
Wait.. ROSS LYNCH?! I was told he died! I was just about to go to the hospital and see him but I looked at the clock.. 11:30 PM. I'll just wait til morning..
