Chapter 10: Lets hit the road

Around an hour or two later, Laura still sitting there staring at the wall, heard footsteps coming down the hall. She kept looking down to see feet standing right infront of her. She looked up slowly from his feet all the way up til she met his eyes. "Paul…" she said not knowing what else to say.

"There you are, I've been looking for you , you do realize you're my ride out of here, and I'm supposed to be coming with you?" Paul laughed, grabbing her hand and pulling her up.

"Yeah, sorry. Lost track of time." She shrugged and then smiled since Paul was still coming with me. "Wait, so you're not going with Ashley?" Laura asked curiously dying to know what he thought of her.

"Oh, I'm guessing you heard?" Paul said turning to Laura then looking down the hall. "Yeah, well she offered and I told her I already had plans to come with you and you offered first." Paul smiled. "Plus I'm sure she'd be busy with her boyfriend of the week." He shook his head and gave a silent chuckle.

Laura laughed. "Ha..lets go Paul." She smiled starting to walk and forgetting Sara.

"You're forgetting something…well someone." Paul said stopping and standing behind her.

"Hm?" Laura asked confused.

"Ya know, this girl named Sara." He raised his eyebrow and laughed.

"Oh shit." Laura took her cell out and dialed Saras number.

"Hey sis." Sara said giggling into the phone.

"Hey…what's going on?" Laura asked her sister.

"Eh nothing really, just hanging out with a few of the guys, don't worry I'm being good." Sara reassured Laura.

"Good, but I hate to reign in on your parade, but we have to get going. Meet us at the main entrance."

"Us? Who's…" Sara asked as Laura clicked her phone off before Sara could finish.

"She'll be at the main entrance, lets go." Laura nodded her head for Paul to follow.

Paul caught up to her walking side by side as the two got to the entrance of the arena. Laura folded her arms and looked at her cell. "I want to get out of her, geez that girls always late." She shook her head.

"Relax, we've been standing her for two minutes." Paul laughed. "And I have to go get my crutches before we head to New York." He said sitting on a nearby bench.

Laura paced back and forth as Paul watched her, his head moving back and forth as she did. Laura turned to see him and chuckled. "What are you doing?"

"Watching you pace back and forth." He laughed resting his arm on the top of the bench.



"Well, I guess it's about time you know I'm very impatient." Laura twisted her mouth looking at the time again.

"No really?" Paul said in a sarcastic tone as Laura finally stopped pacing.

Sara finally walked over and went straight up to her sister. "So who is we?" she asked.

Laura turned to reveal Paul sitting on the bench. Sara nodded impressed. "Wait why?"

"He's injured, we're taking him home and taking care of him for the next week or two." Laura said trying not to crack a smile.

"Interesting." Sara smirked. "Very interesting."

"Strictly business..or one friend helping another." Laura shrugged as Paul got up.

"Lets hit the road." He held the door for Laura and Sara as the two walked. He followed as Laura said "The cars a block down or so." Paul started following, then stopped.

She turned around. "You coming?"

"My leg." He mumbled and winced a little.

"Aw…put your arm around me, I'll help you." She smiled as Paul lifted his arm around her shoulders. She walked slowly with him back to the car as Sara followed. Sara snapped a photo quietly with her digital camera. "How cute." She whispered wondering if Laura had heard her, but she didn't.

Laura helped Paul into the passenger seat and closed the door for him getting into the drivers seat as Sara hopped into the backseat.

She started the engine and glanced over at Paul who was playing with the radio buttons. She didn't know what to think. She didn't think she had feelings for him, then again she wasn't positive. But she knew there was something special about this man.

She pulled out of the lot and headed down the road, with Paul bobbing his head to some kiddy music and Sara in the back laughing at him.

Her cell rang as she handed it to Paul "I don't want a ticket, answer it?"

Paul chuckled at the ringtone, it being his own theme music. He answered. "Helloooo."

"Uh Hi…whose this? Is Laura there?" the man said a bit confused.

"Who is this?" Paul said not answering his question.

"John…is Laura there or not?" John sighed into the phone as Paul looked up at Laura. "It's John." He mouthed.

How will the next two weeks turn out for these two and why is John calling?
