Chapter 20

Rumors

Laura went inside, feeling exhausted, she didn't know how she kept her eyes opened the rest of the ride home. She slowly went inside peeking in the spare room for John and then in her sisters room. They were both asleep.

She went into her bedroom and changed into pajamas. She rarely prayed, but tonight she felt she owed it to Paul. After she prayed for his brother, she climbed into bed and was out of it right away.

--

She was awoken the next morning at around 10:30. "Sis, you're home! Wake up!" Sara squealed jumping on the bed. Laura groaned sitting up slowly, her eyes still half open. "Sis!" Sara pulled her into a hug.

"Wheres Paul, I wanna say Hi to him." She asked, Laura blinked a few times, she yawned and stretched.

"Not here." She finally replied, going into the bathroom to wash her face. Her sister followed.

"Not here? What happened? He didn't forgive you?" Sara asked feeling a little upset. Laura put the towel down after drying her face and went back into her room as Sara followed.

"He's not mad at me, infact we're really close, and I wouldn't be surprised if something happened between us sometime soon." Laura smiled feeling confident. "But anyway, his brother Jonathan got into a car accident, so I drove him to the airport and he's in LA right now.

"In fact…" She grabbed her cell. No calls or texts from Paul. "Guess I'm not that important." She mumbled to herself and tossed her phone onto the bed. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen, John was already up making breakfast.

"Wow, making breakfast? I'm impressed." Laura laughed a little, her sister Sara skipped into the kitchen explaining everything to John.

They all sat the table, after John served breakfast. "Eggs and bacon." John smiled. "The shaman of sexy is impressive isn't he?" John grinned at Laura.

She laughed weakly, wondering why Paul hadn't let her know what was going on yet. For most of the morning, they ate in silence. When lunch time came, John yet again made the food for them.

He got up grabbing the dishes. Laura was impressed. "Thanks John." She smiled a little.

"No need to, I figured you need a break after Paul getting back with Ashley." John said, Laura dropped her coffee mug just as she was about to take a sip.

"What did you say?" She asked getting up from the chair.



"It's on the internet, apparently they're in LA still with Jon." John shrugged finishing the dishes.

Laura got up and stormed out of the kitchen. "So much for things happening." She rolled her eyes and sat on the couch grabbing her laptop. She looked online and saw the reports, they were spotted together and Ashley apparently had an interview up where she mentioned they were now back together.

She shut the laptop monitor down feeling disgusted and threw the laptop to the side.

"This must be why he didn't bother calling. His brothers in the fucking hospital and he's off getting back with Ashley, why is she even in LA?" Laura yelled trying to calm down, but it didn't work.

"Sis, calm down, why don't you just ask him?" Sara asked grabbing her sisters arm.

Laura pulled away and went upstairs into the bedroom. She grabbed her cell off her bed and called Paul. No answer. She rolled her eyes throwing her phone to the floor. "Probably with his girlfriend." She mumbled under hear breath and bursted into tears hitting her fists against her pillow. "Why, why did I fall for him. Why!" She hit her pillow continuously in tears as John opened the door slowly.

"Laura…" He whispered. He sat on the bed beside her. "Shh. Calm down sweetie." He said in a soft tone pulling her away from the pillow.

"I'm fine." She mumbled and finally stopped crying. John pulled her into a hug and sighed. "I wont try anything, you know that. I'm sorry this happened, that's all I can say." He held her as she finally calmed down.

"I'll be right back." She whispered and headed down the stairs.

Laura opened her laptop again, she just wanted to prove she didn't care. She opened up the reports and this time there was more, plus a couple pictures included of them together. She cursed under her breath trying not to break down.

She ran up the stairs and into the bedroom jumping ontop of John on the bed and starting to make out with him. John moved his head up confused and stopping her. "Laura..what are you doing?" He whispered, he had no problem with it but he didn't understand what was going on.

"Don't talk." She said and pulled his shirt off kissing his neck.

'I don't love you, I don't fucking love you…this Is to prove it.' She thought to herself and continued with John…
