**Ross's p.o.v**

"Ross…are you ok?"

I barely heard Laura's frantic cries as flashbacks started dancing behind my eyes; the first one was when I first met Laura.

"And this is Laura Marano, she will be playing Ally Dawson." The writer was introducing me to a short petite brunette girl; she looked up at me shyly.

"Hi." She said with a smile.

"I'm Ross, Ross Lynch." I introduce myself, holding out my hand, she took it and shook it gently.

"That intro was a little James Bondish." She joked.

I laughed.

"So should we start rehearsing?" she asked.

"Sounds great!" I exclaimed.

And just like that the next flashback started, this one of my family.

"Guys, I have big news, Riker's gonna be in glee!" mom exclaimed.

"That's awesome!" I exclaimed clapping Riker on the back.

"And, so we can all be together, we're all going to move to California with him!" Stormie adds.

And another flashback.

"Wow you're really good on the drums!" Riker exclaimed.

"Thanks, I'm Ellington, Ellington Ratliff, but you can just call me Ratliff" Ellington replied.

Riker had that look on his face like he had an idea.

"I know that look, what are you thinking?" I ask my big brother.

"Say, how would you like to be a drummer in our band, we need one DESPERATELY and you're REALLY good." Riker says.

"That's a great idea!" Rydel chimed in.

"You mean it?" Ratliff asks.

"What do you say guys?" Riker asks.

We all throw in our approving yells.

"That's awesome! I'd love to join your guys' band!" Ratliff exclaims.

"Welcome to the band!" Riker exclaims as Ratliff and him shake hands.

"So what do we call ourselves?" Rocky asks.

"Hmm, hey! All of our names start with 'R' right?" I ask.

"Yea, what about…R5?" Riker asks.

"I like that, what about you guys?" I ask turning towards the others.

"That sounds awesome!" Rocky exclaims.

"I like it." Rydel replies.

"R5 it is!" Ratliff exclaims.

And then another.

"Guys! Come in the living room I need to talk to you." I hear dad yell, I leave my room and go to the living room.

"How would you guys feel about a tour?" dad asks.

And then another, they just kept coming.

"What do we call our tour?" Rydel asks.

"Well, the name of the EP is 'loud' what about just calling it 'Loud'?" Riker asks.

"Simple, but original, I like it." Ratliff replies.

"I like it too." Rydel and Rocky reply at the same time.

And finally another, I was beginning to wonder when they would stop.

"Spit it out Ross!" Laura exclaimed, trying to hold her giggles, why did she make me so tongue tied?

"Well, wh-what I'm trying to say is, that, uh, well, I like you, like, a lot, and I was um, wondering if maybe, if you wanted to, we could, um…" I froze! This was so embarrassing.

"Ross Shor Lynch, are you trying to ask me out?" she asks.

I bit my lower lip, embarrassed.

"Uh, yea." I finally reply.

She didn't say anything and I was afraid I was going to get rejected.

"Well, it's about time blondie, it only took you three years!" she exclaims.

I let out a relieved sigh.

"You will, really?" I ask.

"Of course, I have a confession to make." She says.

"What?" I ask.

"I've kinda been trying to build up the courage to ask you out, for a long time now." She replies.

"How long?" I ask.

"Ever since the last half of season two, I think all those romantic and overly cliché Austin and Ally scenes finally made me admit to myself my feelings for you." She replies.

"That's about how long I've been trying too, It just…"

"Never felt like the right time." We said together.

"I have another confession." I reply.

"What?" she asks.

"Well, you know the song that's on our Loud EP, here comes forever?" I ask.

"Yea." She replies.

"Well, I know we always say we all write the songs together, but, truth is I wrote the majority of that one." I reply.

"About me right?" Laura asks.

"Yea." I reply.

We lean in and kiss.

"See, this is what I mean by 'cliché'." She replies with a laugh.

The next flashback was before we left for our recent tour.

"And you promise to call me every night after your concert?" Laura asked.

"Yes, I promise, or I'll at least text you because sometimes it's really late and I just wanna go to sleep!" I said in a mocking whining tone.

She gave me one of her "I know you're bluffing" smiles.

I laugh.

"I will call you every night, oh and I have a little something for you." I said pulling an envelope out of my back pocket.

She takes the envelope, inside are two, two way plane tickets, two tickets to our concert in L.A, and two backstage passes.

Her eyes light up like they do when she's really happy as she looks up at me.

"You can invite anyone you want." I say.

"Thank you Ross, this is like the best thing ever!" she exclaims as she wraps her arms around me in a hug.

"I'll see you in a month when we come to L.A." I reply.

"See you then." She replies.

We lean in and kiss, Laura taking my face in her hands.

"Hey! I don't know if you've heard or not but R5 is supposed to be in Tennessee in ten hours! Let's move!" riker exclaims from the tour bus.

I pull back and roll my eyes.

"I better go." I say as I wrap Laura in one last hug.

"See you in a month!" she exclaims with a wave as I get on the tour bus.

And then finally flashbacks of the accident, the hospital, Laura at my bedside, my family being scared, and everything else afterwards started flashing by, until I heard Laura asking if I remembered who she was.

"I remember." I reply.

"Ross! Are you o…what?" I hear Laura ask as my mind finally shifts to the present time.

"I remember." I reply again.

I hear her skip a breath.

"H-how much?" she asks.

"Everything, you, my family, the band, tour, even the accident, I remember being in the hospital, how scared everyone was, I remember you, I love you." I reply.

She gets out of her chair to wrap me in a hug.

"Oh Ross!" she exclaimed, hugging me tighter, I felt her sobbing.

"I can't believe it!" she exclaims.

"What happened?" she asks as she sits back down.

"I-I don't know, I think it was the kiss.

There's a pause, as we lock eyes.

"Happy anniversary." I say with a smile.

She laughs as she grabs my face in her hands and pushes her lips against mine.

I kiss back, having missed the feeling of her lips against mine ever since I left on tour.

We pull back, smiling at each other.

"Well come on! We gotta go, we gotta tell the others." She exclaims, putting money on the table for our drinks.

With that we leave before we've even had a chance to order a meal.

Outside there's a light snow falling, the moon that was just beginning to rise glistened in the falling snow, street lights started coming on, and there was music playing somewhere. I scoop Laura up into my arms spinning her around as she laughs.

We get in the car and go home, hands intertwined the whole time.

Before we know it we're finally home.

"Hey my sisters here!" I exclaim.

"What is she doing here? I thought she was filming the next season of 'switched at birth'" he asks.

"I'll explain later, let's go!" she exclaims as she gets out of the car. (She'd insisted on driving.)

We walk up the sidewalk, opening the door, to my very shocked and confused family who were now in the middle of dinner.

"We're hooooome!" Laura sings as she pulls me through the doorway.
