I've taken a long enough break for this story.. Without further ado, Chapter 10!
The next day
*Laura's POV*
I was peacefully asleep, re-cooperating from being sick. I actually feel better even though I'm asleep. Speaking of being asleep. I remember I dozed off in my bed. But.. This doesn't feel like my bed. I can hear quiet footsteps walking around my room but my eyelids felt like heavy weights so I stayed put. As time passed, I could feel my eyelids becoming lighter and lighter until I was able to open them. I slowly opened my eyes to find I wasn't in my bed. I was in the fuzzy chair in my bedroom covered in my "Kim Possible" blanket. Yes, I love "Kim Possible". Anyway, the footsteps I was hearing was Ross changing the sheets on my bed. Aww! He's so sweet!
Ross just finished changing the pillowcase to my pillow and set it on my bed. He turned and saw me awake and almost jumped in his tracks. "Did I wake you, sweetie?" He asked softly as he knelt by be and gently grabbed my hand. I shook my head no. I was still too tired to talk. Ross gently pressed his hand to my forehead to feel how warm it is. Ross smiled as he took his hand away.
"Your fever seems like it's gone!" Ross said happily. He stood up and went to the end table to grab the thermometer. He basically ran back to my side and rubbed the thermometer against his t-shirt. "Open up." He said with a smile. I playfully rolled my eyes and opened my mouth so Ross could stick the thermometer in my mouth, which he did. We waited in anticipation for the beep..
Beep.
Ross took the thermometer out of my mouth and read the screen. He smiled and looked up at me. "Your fever broke." He said smiling. We both smiled and before I could do or say anything else, Ross pulled me close and pressed his lips to mine. I was surprised but melted into the kiss. "I've missed this." He said as our lips refused to break away. "Me too." I agreed.
Well, one week has passed since I got sick and now that I'm better, Ross and I have been having so much fun! Ross and I were currently walking along the beach at sunrise. Which was all his idea.. And if he told me beforehand, I wouldn't have gone to bed at 1 AM. Man I'm not a morning person. But Ross is worth it since he planned the walk. He is so romantic. It's exactly 5:04 AM right now and I'm exhausted.
We were walking along the shore line, hand in hand. Since I was so tired, my head was leaning against his shoulder as we walked. My eyes were trying not to close and my legs were trying to keep walking but it was getting harder and harder. Ross could sense that I was off and stopped walking. My legs finally stopped walking and now I was trying to keep myself upright. I gently lifted my head from Ross's shoulder. Ross looked over at me.
"Are you tired?" He asked. "Mhm." I mumbled as I nodded my head. "Okay, lets get back to the apartment then." Ross said before turning around to start heading home. I just stayed put. I couldn't manage to move myself any further. Ross turned around when he noticed that I was standing in the same spot.
"You coming?" He asked. "Carry me.." I mumbled as I lifted my arms up like a little 4 year old. He chuckled as he playfully rolled his eyes. He walked up to me and gently lifted me up bridal style. As soon as I was secure in his arms, I leaned my tired head against his chest and I was asleep.
*Ross's POV*
Now I know to tell Laura in advance if I'm gonna take her on a sunrise walk on the beach. She is NOT, a morning person.. I managed to unlock my apartment door and open it quietly. I walked into my apartment and shut the door behind me. I took the key out of the door and slid it into my pocket. I shut the door behind me and carried my sleeping angel to the couch. I didn't want to let go of her. I just wanted to hold her in my arms forever more. I sat down on the couch but kept her on my lap and in my arms. I grabbed a fuzzy zebra blanket and wrapped it over us. She smiled in her sleep and I smiled right back.
Laura's eyes slowly fluttered open. She looked around sleepily at her surroundings. Once she realized she was in someone's arms, she looked over and saw me still cradling her in my arms. I smiled at her and she returned her She closed her eyes and nuzzled into my chest. I looked down and kissed the top of her head softly. She opened her eyes again and looked at me with a smile on her face.
"Morning." I said softly. "Morning." She mumbled as she yawned. Even when she's sleepy she's adorable.
Both of our phones chimed at the same time, which in all honestly was kind of creepy. We both gave each other funny looks before fishing our phones out of our pockets and checking them.
Well I opened my phone to see it was an e-mail from.. School? But we don't go back for another month and a half and they usually don't start sending e-mails out until one week before we go back. I began reading the e-mail to myself..
God damn it! We have to do a project for math and it's due on the first day of school?! Why can't schools just let us have a summer vacation?! I feel like they don't want us to have a summer vacation but they have to. School sucks! Anyway, so we have partners since the teacher already knows who's gonna be in his class. Since we have an odd amount, one person has to work alone. And it's... Me? Aw man, now I can't do my project with Laura.
I locked my phone and slid it back into my pocket. "So who's your partner?" I asked her. "Umm... Some guy named Cody Christian." She said. It's a BOY?! He better not try anything or I SWEAR he'll never see the daylight again!
Okay, many people might say I'm jealous but that is NOT the case. I.. Erm... Just want to have more time with her.. Yeah! That's it! I'm NOT jealous! Okay? Okay! Laura's phone chimed again and she opened the text and read it. I kind of had a feeling on who it was. I glanced down at her phone and read the text.
Hey, this is Cody. Wanna Get together at your place to start our project? -CoolmanCody
Laura turned her head to look at me. I turned away and took out my phone and made it look like I was using it. "Ross?" She asked. I looked up at her and asked "Yeah?" "Can Cody come over today so we can get started on our project?" She asked. I sighed. "Fine.." I grumbled. "Don't be a Mr. Pouty pants!" She said as if I were a 5 year old. "I'm not Mr. Pouty pants!" I pouted. Laura chuckled. "Come here.." She said before leaning in and pressing her lips against mine.
I melted into the kiss almost immediately. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around my neck. She managed to position herself so she was on top of me, causing me to fall back onto the couch.
After making out on the couch for about 10 minutes, Laura pulled away from the kiss but she didn't get off of me. "Are we happy now?" She asked. "I'd be a little happier if you kissed me again." I said as I pretended to sound sad. She chuckled. I stuck out my bottom lip and made my lip quiver. I then gave her my irresistible puppy dog eyes.
"No! I'm not gonna fall for it!" She protested before shutting her eyes tightly to block it out. "Pwease kiss me Wauwa!" I begged, sounding like a whiny 4 year old. "No!" She yelled before burying her face in my chest. "Pwetty pwease!" I begged. I sniffed as if I was gonna cry. She lifted her head up and sat back up but her eyes were still shut tightly as she covered her face and shook her head.
I managed to blink over and over until my eyes watered. She sneaked a peak and saw the tears flow out of my eyes. She almost immediately took her hands away from her face. "Oh fine! Get over here!" She basically demanded before attacking me with a kiss. I melted into it immediately.
Soon it was another make out session. About 15 minutes later, I slowly pulled away. "Okay, I'm happy now." I said with a smile on my face. She chuckled. "I'm gonna tell Cody that he can come in an hour." She said. "Okay." I said, trying not to sound mad. She actually believed that I wasn't jeal- I mean upset! I'm not jealous!
There was a knock on the door. "I got it." Laura said before standing up and walking to the door and opening it..
Holy. Freaking. Shit.
A boy about our age walked into the doorway. He was a little taller than Laura but not by much since Laura is in heels. He has short, brown hair and a perfect example of the hottest male model.
That was NOT meant to make me sound like I was gay. But he's the total package for a woman as beautiful as Laura. I mean, he's got the perfect smile, the perfect teeth, the perfect.. Ugh! EVERYTHING! And look at me. The kid with ugly scars on his arms from trying to commit suicide.
They were just talking in the doorway for about 10 minutes and it was like I wasn't even here. I cleared my throat loudly. They snapped out of their conversation. Cody looked up and saw me. "Who's he?" He asked. "Cody, this is my boyfriend Ross. Ross, this is Cody." She explained. Cody walked up to me. "Nice to meet you man." He said as he held out his hand. I gave him a glare but shook his hand so I don't seem like a total ass.
I gripped his hand tight as I shook it. "Erm.. You've got.. Quite the grip." He said in pain. I saw Laura staring at me in the corner of my eye. She was angrily staring at me. Her facial expression said Stop being an asshole! I sighed and rolled my eyes before letting his hand go.
He shook off the pain. "Your lucky to have a girl as pretty as Laura." He said. "Yeah.. I know." I said as I gave him a fake smile. Laura looked like she was gonna strangle me. "Well.. I'll leave you two to your project.." I said before leaving. Laura and Cody settled on the couch. I actually went into my room and watched them from a distance.
Alright.. It's been an hour and I am gonna beat his ass down to the freaking ground! I can tell he wants Laura! Laura pulled out her laptop to type in some research. He looked over and there was NO SPACE in between them. He then did that stupid fake stretch arm around trick. That was the final straw. I exhaled angrily through my nose. "That's IT!" I scream before angrily stormed out of my bedroom, slamming the door behind me. I stormed up to Cody and grabbed him by his shirt collar, forcing him to stand up. "GET THE HELL OUT RIGHT NOW YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" I spat while gritting my teeth together.
"Ross!" Laura yelled. I heard the door open and I know it was Rocky. I didn't even acknowledge him because my main priority was kicking Cody's ass until he can't sit down ever again. "Stay away from my girlfriend!" I spat. I raised my fist and aimed it at Cody's eye. Rocky and Laura's eyes widened. Rocky ran to me and pulled me back. Laura pulled Cody back just in case I broke loose from Rocky's grip.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Ross?" Laura yelled. "You're being a total asshole!" Laura screamed. Laura yelling at me was one of the worst feelings in the world. Rocky could tell that this was leaving an impact because I wasn't fighting to get out of his grip anymore. Instead, I was shaking of fear.
"This is a side of you that I've never seen before.. And I don't like it.. At all." She spat coldly. "I'm done!" She said. "We're done!" She spat even icier. She turned to Cody. "Come on Cody." She said. She grabbed her purse and she and Cody left, Laura slamming the door shut behind her. My world has just crumbled before me..
*Rocky's POV*
Laura and Cody left with the door slamming shut behind them. Ross wasn't moving a muscle. I think he's even more frozen than a statue. I let go of him gently. I walked in front of him and turned to face him. "Ross?" I asked softly. "Ross? You alright?" I asked, a little more worried now. He blinked. "S-S-S-She.. H-H-H-Hates.. M-M-M-Me.." He managed to stutter. "No she doesn't.." I said. Tears began falling from his eyes. I hugged him tightly. He hugged back and sobbed into my chest. "I-I-I-I'm the w-w-worst boyfriend e-ever!" He sobbed. "No your not Ross." I whispered. "It's all gonna be okay." I whispered as I gently rubbed his back.
I think this is one of the saddest chapters I've ever written.. Don't worry, the next chapter will be AMAZING! :D Stay tuned! Please review this story, along with the others please! :D
