Laura's POV

1 week later, December 8th.

It's been a week since Ross spent the night, we haven't spoke about the kiss but we do have flirty moments.

"Please tell me," I beg Ross. This surprise is all I've been able to think about. We're eating lunch and it's Friday which means we have a live taping for secrets and songbooks. It wasn't as awkward as i thought it would be, it actually felt kind of natural to hug Ross.

"Laura, we've been over this. I'm not telling you" I sigh "what should i wear?" surely this would give me a hint of what we were doing. Raini and Ross give each other a knowing look,"Raini's coming over tonight to pick out your clothes"/

"Tonight? i thought it was tomorrow," Nobody answers me and thats when i realized how oddly quiet Calum has been.

"Calum... do you know something?" He looks up from his food and to Ross. "You said she wouldn't ask!" He exclaims. wait, What's wrong with asking him?

Ross pulls out his phone and types something, only a second later Calums beeps. He nods and mumbles "yeah okay, thanks." he looks back down at his food to look up a moment later to find me staring him down. He shifts his eyes nervously to Ross and finally bursts.

"Fine! It's going to be a weekend trip!" He slaps his hand over his mouth.

"Dude!" Ross almost yells. "She was staring me down! making me nervous!" he shouts.

"Great, blame it on me." i say sarcastically, He looks at me with a WTF look on his face and i slouch down in my seat. "yeah, okay blame it on me" I mumble looking down at my salad.

Once home, i flop down on my back on the couch.I'm so tired. it's 9:45 pm and we -the cast- had decided we should do a live stream every Friday after the live taping. Unfortunately even though i'm exhausted, i won't be able to fall asleep with all the excitement of the trip.

My mom walks into the living room and sits down next to me. "Where's dad?" i don't bother with looking at her, i just keep my eyes on the ceiling. "Work." See that's the thing with my dad. He works at night and sleeps during the day, he's awake in the evenings but i'm always filming till at least 8.

"Oh, well," i pause considering telling her about the trip but decide it's the best to tell. "So Ross, Raini, and Calum are mad i didn't tell them it was my birthday a few weeks ago, So Ross told me to free my weekend and today i just found out it was a weekend trip." I don't say it fast like i usually do, instead i talk slower.

"I know" wait did she just say? "How?" she laughs, "Laura honey, i know everything" I can tell i look mortified, she evilly laughs, or at least that's how i hear it.

"Oh my god." I barley whisper, "Oh my gosh your reaction!" She starts laughing really hard and i roll my eyes. "Laura, Ross already told me about the trip. He really is a sweet kid, no wonder you like him." And with that she stands up and walks up the stairs.

She knows i like him? or used to like him i mean. Does the mean she recognized him from the posters when he came over?

"Knock knock knock" Raini walks through the front door carrying a shopping bag and a duffle bag. "So where are we going?" i ask as we walk into my now R5less bedroom.

"No telling." She opens up my closet and grabs my purple duffle bag.

Once she turns around and sees my pouty face she sighs, "Fine. It's somewhere you've heard of but never been." "But that's a terrible hint!" i exclaim, "You know I've only ever been to Colorado!" She slightly smirks and says "exactly!"

Now it's my turn to sigh, I grab a sweater thinking it will most likely be cold. "Nope! i pick out your clothes" She takes the clothes from my hands and tosses them on the bed.

I lay down on top of them and slowly start to drift off. the last thing i see is Raini holding a pair of shorts and flip flops.

I wake up to somebody shaking my shoulder, I open my eyes to see Vanessa.

"okay okay i'm up!" I say sitting up. "why am i up at" i pause looking at the clock, "12:55pm?".

"We're leaving tonight." she stands up and starts to leave when i stand up and stop her. "what do you mean tonight? To where!" I shake her shoulders to make it more dramatic but fail because she just laughs "The band you like is downstairs, Raini packed your clothes and shoes you have to pack everything else." Okay?

As soon as she's gone i rush to the bathroom and grab my makeup bag, hair curler, straightener, then my tooth brush and tooth paste.

Since i'll probably sleep i pop a mint into my mouth instead of brushing and then brush my hair.

I quickly wash my makeup off my face from earlier off and dry my face. Once back into my room and packed, I grab my phone, ipad, ipod, and headphones and . i wouldn't want to bring anything embarrassing since the security will most likely check our bags.

I rush down the stairs to see everyone talking in a group. Ross is the first to notice me, he waves an walks over.

"Are you excited?" he smiles. "yeah, um why is everyone here? not to sound rude?" i quickly add the last part. he laughs and says "yeah well, for some odd reason they don't want 4 teenagers to go out of town alone."

I blush and look down and scold myself for having such a dirty mind. "haha" i fake laugh,"i guess i'll find out where we're going at the airport." i smile innocently and bat my eyelashes.

"Yeaaaah no," my smile drops. " i got us a private jet" he pops an imaginary collar and i just playfully punch his chest.

"Okay... everybody... settle down" Stormie calls out catching every ones attention. Once seeing all eyes and ears are on her she continues. "Since we don't have enough room in one car we are going to have to split up. So how about the Maranos, Raini, and Calum ride in the Marano's car. and us Lynches go in our van?"

That's when i finally realize my family and Ross's WHOLE family is going on this trip.

My smile instantly gets wider, i feel like a Disney princess right now.

Once my bags are packed in the lynches van along with all the other luggage we are off!

It's doesn't take long to get through the security considering it's 1:30 in the morning, i had doubted it would be busy.

Before i know it everyone is seated in the plane and we are taking off. I change my ipod to airplane mode and plug my headphones in.

I put my music on shuffle and the first song makes me smile as i drift off.

My favorite theme song.

There's no way i can make it without you.

A/N this chapter is short and there are many grammar mistakes. I wrote this a few days ago and just now got this typed up. It's almost midnight here so again i'm sorry for the grammar mistakes.

Please review.

Also storys and author shout outs will be in the next chapter where you find out where they are going :)
