Yeah, a secret I don't know if any of you saw coming.
Though, there are signs if you read back the last few chapters and the story before it. I did have them hinted from time to time.
Sorry it took so long to update. Hopefully the next one won't either. That's a hope though, not real life.
Read, enjoy and tell me if you hated it. I'm cool with that. Not really. But whatever.
I don't own anything. Except, fun fact: I struggle with this disorder, so.
Laura sighed, walking out of the room, she softly closed the door, whispering to Austin to keep Ross company and then turned around to see Riker sitting in the living room. She didn't question how he'd gotten in there, instead choosing to sit down beside him. He looked up at her just as she did so and she looked back at him.
"How's he doing?"
She shrugged, "as okay as he'll ever be, I suppose. He's shaken up from everything that happened."
Riker nodded silently, looking down at his feet. "I'm worried about him."
She didn't blame him really. She was worried about him too.
"There's um, something about him, I think you should know." Riker began to say, "I um, we're not really sure why he's this way or why we never said anything to you about it, considering how close you two are, but… you know how Ross gets when he doesn't want to talk? He just keeps everything inside and always seems exhausted and tired?" Laura nodded, turning her attention fully towards Riker now. "I don't think I should be the one to say this, but I'm really worried about him. Like, scary worried."
"It's okay, Riker. You can tell me." Laura whispered to him, she reached over and took his hand in hers, gently squeezing it.
It took a few seconds of silence, but Riker eventually looked up at her.
"He's unstable, mentally unstable, that is. Has been his whole life." He finally told her and that's when it all clicked in Laura's mind. Everything that his family had been hinting at towards all made sense to her. Rydel would tell her that when he got upset, it was sometimes hard to calm him down, but for some strange reason, Laura was able to do it, no problem. When he would get into fights with her, he'd get really into it and would have to restrain himself. She'd seen it multiple times. She'd even seen it between takes on set when he'd be agitated over something and his eyes would get darker. Even after their falling out, she could tell there was something wrong with him. That morning she left, she saw it. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Though, she hadn't asked about it, thinking about how angry she'd been at that time and just brushed it off.
"Is that why… whenever someone says something he's not okay with, he just snaps?" She asked him and he slowly nodded.
"The signs are there, Laura. He's always been one to freak out, maybe over nothing, mostly over something. Like with me once, when we were kids, we got into a huge fight. It was over a song we were going to perform in front of our family. Rocky had to literally restrain him from kicking my ass, he was so pissed off." Then Riker snapped his fingers, "then, just like that, it was as though nothing happened. He was totally calm, almost like he'd been sedated or something."
Laura's eyes filled with tears, "he's bipolar?"
Riker nodded. "After what happened with our father, I would not be surprised if he started flipping out and forgetting to take his medication."
"Oh my…" Laura closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "it all makes sense now. Why you guys took his side a lot of the time we were fighting or when your father did what he did to him and Rydel. The night he found out, he looked so sad, then angry and then… he was okay, not totally okay, but calm."
"He forgets to take his medication sometimes," Riker told her. "You have to watch him, make sure he does it. If not, he'll probably lose it and we don't want that."
Laura then put her hands in her head.
"You're not-"
"I should've known, you know? I… I'm smart, I get good grades in school, why didn't I know?" She lifted her head, biting her lip and Riker saw tears in her eyes.
"He kept it pretty well hidden," Riker told her. "He didn't even want us to know."
"Having something mentally wrong with you isn't something to be ashamed of," She said. "I don't understand why he wouldn't tell me about it."
Riker shrugged, "it's not as easy as you think it is. He'll probably be pissed at me for telling you, but I did so because I love the crap out of him and I'm scared for him."
Laura hugged him, "you did the right thing," She whispered, "he won't be mad at you for that. He can't be."
Riker nodded and then hugged her back. Her eyes went to the door and she squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the tears come to her eyes.
Ross opened his eyes slowly and saw that Laura was sitting beside him. She took his hand in hers and gently squeezed it. Groggily, he sat up, rubbing his eyes with his free hand, he looked at her.
"Laura are you crying?" He asked, looking closely at her. She handed him a few pills and he quickly swallowed them and then looked back at her.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She whispered, her voice breaking. "We're in a relationship, Ross, and you never told me."
"Told you… what?" He looked genuinely confused. She couldn't be mad at him for that.
She stood up, her hands going into her hair, before she looked at him again. "I know why you're family is always so worried about you exploding, it all makes sense now."
Ross was so confused. He had no idea what she was talking about.
"Um, why would my family worry about me?"
"You never told me the real reason!" Laura suddenly shouted at him and he blinked his eyes, realizing that she knew. She knew the secret he had been so scared to tell her. "Why didn't you tell me you were bipolar Ross? Why did you hide it from me?" She was full on crying and Ross stood up, going over to her, he put his hands on her shoulders and then hugged her.
"I was scared you'd think of me differently or damaged or messed up," He said quietly. "It's not something I want everyone to know."
She could understand that. But still, they were Ross and Laura, they never kept things from each other. Suddenly, she felt like she was in an episode of their damn show. She looked up at him.
"I wouldn't have judged you or thought of you in any different way, Ross."
"You would've felt like you had to take care of me." He said, "I don't want sympathy or special treatment."
"Do Kevin and Heath know?"
He nodded, "they have to know, in case something happens. Legally, they needed to know when I got the job."
"But you didn't think to tell Raini, Calum, or me?" She looked hurt. "We're your best friends, Ross, we're… you and I are in a relationship. I love you, no matter what. You know that."
"It doesn't change the fact that i was still scared!" He blew up at her and she closed her eyes. "I was diagnosed a year before we started the show, at first it wasn't as bad, but then after I got the part of Austin, it just started to get worse."
"Why?"
"Because of my father and the way he treated me." Ross told her, "I'd forget to take my medication, I'd hear things that weren't there and I'd think the worst of everything. I would purposely try to hurt myself because I didnt think of the consequences of my actions. It's hard, okay? I have a fucking illness and nothing's going to make it go away but medication."
Laura was full on crying by now.
He didn't hug her.
"You still could have told me!" She yelled at him, "I don't understand why I didn't see it, the signs. You were always so hard on yourself, always so tired. You and I would fight and I could see it, you restrained yourself."
"I didn't want to hurt you."
"Too late for that now isn't it?" She snapped at him and then turned around. She opened the door to their room and stormed into it.
"I didn't mean to hurt you! Okay? It's not like I kept something huge like I had sex with a girl while I was on tour or something." She turned to him, her eyes widened and he rolled his eyes. "I didn't have sex with a girl."
"But you could have."
"But I didn't." He stated firmly. "I'm not the kind of person, you know that."
"I don't know what kind of person you are anymore." Laura said without thinking, and then she realized what she'd said and her eyes widened. "I-"
"No." Ross shook his head, "you said it, not me."
"I didn't mean it like that."
"Whatever, Laura." He started to back away from her.
"Ross, I'm not-this doesn't change anything!" She yelled after him, her tears were streaming harder and faster down her cheeks. "I want to help you okay? But you have to let me in! I thought we were getting past your problems with that!"
"I don't have any problems!" Ross yelled at her.
"You're bipolar, you have a illness and it's not your fault. Okay?" She walked closer to him and before he could turn around, put her hands on his chest. "Let me help you, I want to help you, but you have to trust me and you have to let me in."
He didn't say anything and that's when it clicked in her mind.
"You-you don't trust me do you?"
"What? Where did you get that crazy idea? Of course I trust you. I trust you more than anyone."
"But you-"
"Stop talking about the fact I didn't tell you!" He yelled, "between you and every fucking body else I feel like if I don't do something I'm going to explode."
"Do something?" Laura repeated disbelievingly.
"Not like that, fuck." He put his hands in his hair.
It was silent. Then, Laura said something Ross wasn't expecting her to.
"This relationship isn't going to work out if we keep secrets from each other and don't work things out together." She said it so sure of herself. Ross didn't want her to walk out of the door and leave him behind.
But he didn't even know what the right thing to say was.
She ignored the voice in her head that was telling her she was being such a hypocrite. She had a secret she was keeping from him, but she wasn't going to tell him.
"You're just pissed off because I kept something so huge from you." He said, "you're not focused on the fact that if you walk out of that door, I could do something… really bad."
"You're threatening me with your illness." Laura shook her head, "that's not fair."
"I'm not threatening you with anything. I'm just saying." He glared at her, "do you know what I did on tour? I was driving a car and I almost purposely hit someone just to get my anger out. I almost killed my little brother because I wasn't thinking straight."
"How is that my fault?" Laura demanded, her voice breaking.
"It's not, but you helped trigger that." His tone was cold. "Yes, I'm sick, but that doesn't mean you have to use our relationship or the fact that I didn't tell you as an excuse! I love you, you fucking know that. I don't have to prove it more than I have already, but fine. Think what you want, Laura, I can't stop you." He paused, "but if you walk out that door, it's over between us."
"You don't mean that."
He shrugged, "you decide what you want, Laura. I'm not letting someone do the same thing my own father did to me."
"Which was what? I never hit you!"
"Lie to me." He stated and with that, turned and walked into their room.
Laura just watched him, realizing that they were back where they were a few months before.
But this time, it wasn't Ross that had to make it up to her, it was her.
And she had to start off by telling him her secret and dealing with the consequences that came from that revelation.
"I hope his ass rots in jail." Rydel shook her head as she sat on the couch, Riker moving to sit down beside her. He looked uneasy, but nodded.
"What happened again?"
"What do you mean what happened? Dad beat the shit out of Ross." Rydel told him, "what more is there to tell you than that?"
"Don't yell at me, I didn't start this. He did." Riker snapped back at her.
"Whatever." She looked at him, "where have you been all morning?" She looked suspicious and Riker rolled his eyes.
"I didn't go out to the bar again, if that's what you're so focused on and worried about. I went to go see if Ross was okay and talked to Laura for a bit." He answered, she slowly nodded her head and then heard her phone vibrate in her pocket and took it out, her eyes widening at the message she saw.
I think Laura and I are over.
"Oh my god." She said and then she quickly texted Ross back.
"What?"
"Ross just sent me a very cryptic text," She answered, "he and Laura are breaking up."
Riker's eyes widened, "what?" He grabbed her phone. "Why?"
Rydel put a strand of hair behind her ear, " I don't know." She answered, "I'm waiting for him to respond back."
Someone told her about my bipolar disorder.
She read it out loud, then furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Why would that matter?" She wondered.
She's treating me differently and looking at me like I could break or something.
"Oh, now it makes some sense." She said and then sent him a text back, then looked up at Riker, "who do you think told her?"
Riker sighed, "I did."
Rydel's eyes widened, "why would you do that? You know how he gets about it! Why would you tell her?"
"Because he's her girlfriend and she needed to know in case something went wrong. Think about it, Rydel, for like five seconds before you do exactly what he does and freak out for no reason. Dad just beat the shit out of him, because he was drunk. He is also known to forget to take his medication from time to time, so if he has an episode and she doesn't know about it, how do you think that's going to turn out?" Riker demanded and Rydel just stared at him. She didn't say anything, though she still kept her glare intense. "If he hurts himself, or does something crazy and reckless, don't you agree it's good she knows?"
Rydel looked away and then slowly nodded, "yes, I agree with you on that, but if anything you should have talked to him first and told him to tell her instead of just doing it yourself."
"Okay, yeah. I agree with you there, I probably should've done that, but it's out now. What are we supposed to do about it?"
"Uh, go talk to Ross and tell him not to be so hard on Laura? She's just trying to help." Rydel answered matter-of-factly.
Riker sighed, closing his eyes shut for about a second, before looking at his sister again. "Okay, let's just do some role playing here for a second. If you were the one with this disorder and you lived with Ratliff and you hid it from him as long as you did and either Ross, Rocky or myself told him about it, what would you do? How would you react to it?"
"I'd be.. worried he'd think of me differently." Rydel answered, then she sat back and sighed, staring straight ahead. "But I'd probably treat him the same why Ross is treating Laura. It's not right, but.. I see where Ross is coming from." She looked at him, "But if I was in your position, I'd be feeling pretty shitty about telling Ross' secret." Then, without another word, she stood up and left the room.
Laura sat on the couch, her knees up to her chin and her head in her hands. She had been crying nonstop since her fight with Ross. It had been over an hour and neither one of them had gone to talk to the other. It was almost as if they were complete strangers. She heard a beeping on her phone and saw that it was time for Ross to eat and take his pain medication.
She stood up to go make him some soup. He wasn't going to do it himself and she wasn't about to let him suffer just because they were fighting.
After it was done, she walked into their room and put the soup beside him on the nigh stand. Neither one of them looked at each other. Then she went into the bathroom and came back out, giving him his antibiotics and medication before leaving the room and coming back with water.
He just stared blankly at her.
"Just because we're fighting doesn't mean I don't still care about you," She said in such a sad voice, it made Ross' heart break. But he wasn't about to give in. Not this time. "Eat your food and take your medication." She turned to walk out of the room when he spoke.
"You're still here."
She almost hadn't heard it, it was so quiet. She turned around and saw him put his medication down by his side and his glass of water on the table. She shook her head.
"You have to take that."
"You're still here." He repeated.
She sighed. "Are you always going to be this difficult to deal with when you have to take medication?"
He blinked at her.
"I…I didn't mean it like that." She said, sighing. "Look, you need to eat and you need to take your medication or you'll get an infection. So… go, eat. Take your meds and we'll talk later." She turned to leave again, but he shook his head and gently grabbed her hand, pulling her close to him, shocking her as just as a few minutes before, he acted like he didn't give a shit.
"Thanks." He whispered into her hair and then just like that, he let her go and went to go sit on the bed. She looked at him confused, but then just decided it wasn't the time to argue about it and walked out, softly closing the door behind her.
Austin was jumping around her feet, so she picked him up and carried him with her to the couch. She held him tight and he licked her face. She smiled and then realized she had tears in her eyes.
"What would you do if you were keeping such a huge secret from the person you loved more than anything?" She asked him and he just stared at her. "Yeah, I wouldn't know how to answer that either." She sighed.
"Rocky."
He turned around just as he heard his sister speak, to face her. She walked down the stairs.
"What's up?"
"I need to talk to you." She answered and he nodded, allowing her to go passed him into the living room. "Riker.. he did something." She began and he blinked at her to continue. "He told Ross' secret to Laura."
"About his-"
"Yeah." She cut him off before he could continue. "And Ross was texting me earlier saying that he was almost sure they were going to break up."
"What?" Rocky's eyes widened. "Why would Riker do that?"
Rydel shrugged, "I don't know. I thought they were making up now that… actually, I have no idea what happened but it didn't seem like they had a problem with each other for what I thought was going to be for good."
Rocky sighed. "How did Laura take it?"
"He said he think she thinks he's going to break or something so she's acting like he will." Rydel looked down at her fingers, "I don't want them to break up, they're so good together and they're having a baby. They can't split up and-" her eyes widened as she realized something. "Wait, I just remembered something." Rocky looked at her, waiting for her to continue. "He looked… kind of guilty about something, I could see it in his eyes when he was speaking to me."
"Okay, so what does that mean?"
"We have to figure out what it is." She said, "he did something, who knows what it was, but he's feeling pretty bad about it."
"And you know this from a five minute conversation with him?" Rocky looked skeptical.
"He went to visit Ross, that's… pretty cool considering how they treated each other before. But… I don't think he would've done that unless he was hiding something."
"He's allowed to visit his brother without it being all sketchy you know." Rocky pointed out.
"Maybe he's afraid to tell Ross what he did and that was his way of trying to feel less guilty about it." Rydel suggested.
"Rydel, you're crazy if you think he'd be hiding something after all of this time." Rocky shook his head. "He and Ross are finally in a good place, why are you acting so sketchy about it?"
"Because it's Ross and Riker. They barely get along." Rydel pointed out and Rocky sighed. "I don't care how many times they make up, it always ends up the same, with them fighting over something stupid Riker did or something Ross did that Riker doesn't approve of."
"Rydel, I think he feels shitty enough about not being able to protect Ross from dad or you from dad and what he did to you both. I don't think he did he did anything else to fuck it up again."
Rydel's eyes twinkled with an emotion Rocky couldn't recognize. "You sure about that?"
He looked away, suddenly feeling strange and like she had a point, "yeah… I'm positive."
"Ugh!" Laura put her hands in her hair, feeling tears come to her eyes as she tried for fifteenth time to get the equation right, but then once again, found herself unable to. "I've been doing this damn problem for over an hour, when am I going to get it right?" She whimpered, covering her face with her hands as she felt tears come to them.
SHe heard a door open, but didn't pay attention to it. Her frustration came out more and she started to full on cry. She then heard the sound of water running and figured it as just Ross in the bathroom. Then, she heard the sound of a glass hitting the table top and then a pill bottle opening and then being put onto the table beside the glass of water. Opening her eyes and taking her hands off her face she looked up to see Ross was leaning over her, once hand on the chair and his other on the table, reading the problem.
"You don't have x in the right spot and you miscalculated. It has to equal four for it to be true, otherwise you'll end up with a decimal or just an annoying fraction." She smiled at his words, a small smile, but still a smile. "Have I mentioned I hate those?"
"Yeah, a few times." She finally said and then she looked at the problem, realizing he'd been right about it. She quickly finished it and then looked at him, turning her head so she could see him over her shoulder.
"Like you said earlier, I may be mad at you and we may be fighting, but it doesn't mean I still don't care about you." He tilted his head towards the water and pills. "Now, it's time for you to take your medication. For the baby."
"Even when you're in such pain, you still remember about my pills. Impressive." She said and then took them, swallowing them down, she looked at him, the tears in her eyes returning. "Did you take your pill for-"
"Yeah." He answered, a short answer, but still an answer, nonetheless.
It was silent, tensely silent when Laura remembered something he'd said earlier.
"Can you um… tell me about what happened? When you were on tour? You said you almost killed Ryland, what did you mean by that?" He sighed, then moved to sit down in the chair to her right.
"I don't really want to talk about it. It's a memory I really wish I could forget."
"Ross, come on, it's just me. I'm not going to tell anyone else." Laura looked at him, hoping he'd see that she would always be there for him no matter what. Just like she hoped he would be after she spilled her secret.
"Um, okay. Well, one night, we were in Canada or something, maybe it was somewhere in Wisconsin, I don't know to be honest, but um, anyway. We were um, well, basically I got into a fight with Riker and he was going on about what an asshole I've been because of what happened between you and I. I was just… so short and rude to everyone and he was saying it to get my head straight I guess. I don't know, but to my surprise, everyone had agreed with him. Mom, Rocky, Rydel, Ratliff… dad, Ryland, and I was just super pissed off. So, since I had skipped my medication for the last few days, I wasn't thinking rationally or clearly. After the concert, my mom asked me to take Ryland to the store to get some stuff for whatever it was, I don't remember. Dad told me off about something I did on stage, which was that I had sung the wrong lyric and in front of little children sang about sex. He acted like that was the first time, by the way. Anyway, I was still pissed off from before, still pissed off over us and then he just added on to it. So, I took the car and with Ryland sitting beside me, pressed the gas down… um hard." Laura felt her eyes fill with tears again and saw that his was as well. He swallowed hard before continuing. "Ryland was telling me to slow down, but I didn't. It wasn't until a few minutes later, I realized we were about to go straight into a wall, when I somehow came back to reality and slammed hard on the break, causing it to turn violently and stop right before it hit the wall on Ryland's side." His voice became emotional. "He started to scream at me, like 'what the fuck is your problem? You could have killed me!' and then while he was in the middle of it, I got out of the car and just walked away from it. I didn't go back when he was calling my name and didn't come back to everyone until the next morning. I don't remember what I did after that, but I knew that I was okay. I guess I just wandered around for a while or something." He shrugged, "everyone was freaking out when I saw them and then my mother asked if I took my medication. I told her the truth, that I hadn't been and then we had to cancel the next few concerts while I went to get re-evaluated and shit. During that time, Riker and my father started to go hard on me. They would yell at me and remind me that I hadn't taken my medication and that it was my fault we had to cancel a week of concerts. I didn't really pay any mind to them, because I really didn't give a shit. They acted like they didn't care about my mental state. Though, Riker eventually calmed down and started asking if I was okay while my father just continued to scream my head off."
"Ross… I'm…I don't know what to say."
"It wasn't all your fault, that I had done that. I still feel guilty about it and though Ryland says it's cool, a part of me knows it isn't." A tear slipped down his cheek. "Sometimes I can control the episodes, but other times I can't. I'm not an expert on it." He shrugged.
"How did you know what happened with Ryland?" Laura asked him.
"Ryland told me every detail about what happened a while later. He said it didn't seem like I was all there. I wasn't, I guess." He shrugged and looked down at his hands. "I just don't want something to happen to you or the baby if I forget to take my medication." He explained, "I'm so scared of what will happen."
"Have you been able to keep up with it since that incident?"
Ross nodded. "I have an alarm that rings on my phone every morning, afternoon and night." He said.
"That's something good about the iPhone, I have to admit." Laura said and Ross gave her a small smile.
"Reconsidering your phone?"
"Nope, but it's okay to acknowledge that." She said and he sighed, agreeing with her.
She then took his hand in hers. "I won't let you do that again, okay? If you feel like you need to see someone at any point, I'll take you, no questions asked." He nodded silently. "Is um, there anyone else that knows other than your family or me?"
"Promise you won't get mad?" She nodded, "well, Ratliff obviously knows, and Maia does too."
"Maia? She knew before me?" Her tone was filled with hurt.
"No, don't make yourself feel like the worst girlfriend ever or whatever." Ross shook his head. "She just knows because when we were in Puerto Rico, filming the movie, she saw me have an episode. She didn't know what was going on at first and was freaked out. You know how she always wanted to study psychology?" Laura nodded, "well, she figured out was was wrong and confronted me about it. I told her it was true and made her swear not to tell anyone."
Laura nodded, "okay, so she was there for you. I can't be mad at about that." She made a face, "why would I be mad about that anyway?"
Ross shrugged, "it's not going to be easy dealing with me when I get like that."
"It's scary, I know, Ross. But it's not your fault, you have an illness and you're going to need help. You have people who love and care for you, but you have to let them in. You can't hide it forever."
"I know." He looked down, but then he took her hand in his and looked up at her. "I can't do this without you." He whispered.
She smiled, the tears coming back and leaned her forehead against hers. "I can't do this without you either." She whispered back. "I'm always here."
However, she felt the guilt still eating at her, but chose to ignore it. Once again, focusing on Ross instead of herself.
Riker walked into the house, just as Rocky stood up to go to his room. Rydel shook her head and pulled him down with her again.
"Uh, hey?" Riker looked confused.
"What are you hiding?" Rydel blurted out. "Why are you always so guilty whenever we bring up Ross?"
"We didn't talk about that." Rocky whispered to her and she rolled her eyes. "Also, way to be subtle about it."
Rydel rolled her eyes, "Okay, earlier, why were you guilty?"
"I wasn't guilty." Riker responded, "what would I have to be guilty about? Ross and I worked our shit out."
"I know you did something." Rydel accused. "You may have made up with him, but I know you're hiding something. I'm going to find out what it is." Her phone started ringing then and she held up her finger, seeing an unfamiliar number. "Hold on, we're not done yet." She opened the message and then her eyes widened, she let out a gasp and then the phone fell to the floor.
"What is it?" Rocky asked her concerned. She didn't answer, so he bent down to pick up the phone and read the message, Riker reading it over his shoulder. "Oh shit."
"Ross is going to flip out once he finds out." Riker added, "I won't say anything though, promise." He added, but no one paid any attention to him.
"I can't believe… what the fuck?" Rydel started to flip out. "Why is this coming out now? Why won't this ever end!"
"Who sent you this text? How do you even know it's legit?" Rocky asked.
"Because it's from a friend of Laura's," She answered.
"Wait, is her name Amber? Text her that." Rocky said and Rydel did so.
Yes, my name is Amber. I go to Laura's school with her and stole her phone when she wasn't looking one day to get your number. I only had time for yours, so feel special about that.
"What does she want with Laura?" Riker asked.
"Let's focus on the message first. She said, Laura's not the girl you think she is, she's actually more fucked up than you think and has been lying to your faces this whole time. Did you know that while you were on tour she--" Rydel cut herself off when her phone started to ring and Ratliff's name came on the screen. "I have to take this."
"Yeah, you should." Riker nodded and she walked out of the room. He exchanged a look with Rocky, "what the hell do we do?"
"We wait for Laura to say something to Ross," Rocky answered. "It's not in our place to." With that, he left a very distraught and a very confused Riker behind him.
First Ross and Laura fight since they got together... whaaat?
And ooh, more secrets. Laura's is almost revealed too. Damn you Ratliff for interrupting that.. sorry. I also foreshadowed a bit there, earlier on in the chapter and even before this chapter, don't know if any of you caught that. More hints to Ross' breakdown there, I guess.
Just to say though, Ross may act like he's all 'oh I'm not going to turn to drugs or do anything crazy' and shit, but Selena Gomez said the same thing and she just got out of rehab. Maybe not for drugs or alcohol use or whatever, but she was literally the last person I thought would go to rehab, for any reason. I just feel like since Ross is a rockstar and he's touring, he's going to drink, do drugs and even have sex with a girl. I just wonder if that girl would come out and say it was her, but then again, maybe not. That's just my opinion. I don't think he'll do that, but we don't know. The pressure can get to him at some point. But then again, he loves what he does, so... who knows.
Oh and sidenote: did anyone see The Fosters last night? Callie's birthday surprise to Jude was just so cute. I love them. Maia and Hayden are so cute as brother and sister.
