AN:// Heyo! This is the prologue. REMINDER: Not edited.

Laura's POV

"Laura you literally take 500 years, lets go already!" I roll my eyes at his remark, whatever JB.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I finish applying mascara to my eyelashes. I exit my room and head to the kitchen where JB is.

He looks up and sighs, "Bout time, Jesus sister." I crack a smile and ruffle up his hair and he slaps my hand away. "Woman, I just did this masterpiece!" He fixes it but it looks the exact same, I laugh.

"Alright let's get this over with." I say casually and grab my keys.

JB gasps, "Excuse me? This art show will be amazing! Wait till you see my piece!" I smile, I really can't wait to see his piece.

"Okay fine, I'm excited for your work, just not the others."

I start walking to the car with JB on my trail scowling me and yapping on about how ungrateful I am and that there will be incredible pieces. Art just doesn't speak to me like him.

We finally get there and JB finishes up about the dry chicken we had for dinner last night.

"JB." I say sternly. He stops talking, "Huh?" I sigh, "You took your meds didn't you?" JB nods.

I eye him to see if he's lying. He looks serious, "I did. I'm just excited okay!"

I smile, "I know kid. Now, let's go in there and see your piece." JB gives me a bright smile and we go inside.

"Oh! Laura look!" JB shows me a painting of a girl, sitting on a car, with a sunset behind her. I nod, "She looks like she's enjoying the sunset."

JB snorts, "No, obviously she's sad and depressed, she's sitting on her car as if she has run away from her problems. She's thinking about them and the sunset is just there for a dramatic look." I swallow, that kinda sounds like me. I walk away from the painting and go to a new one.

"Uh, where's your piece?" I change the subject.

JB smiles, "I'll show you one of my favorites, follow me madam." he takes me to his piece.

JB showed me his piece, it was a photo. I smile at him and hug him tightly.

It was a photo of me. It was the first time we met, on the road. We had stopped and rested. I'm not sure what I was doing but I look like I'm thinking about something, probably him.

"I love it JB." he smiles and says, "I was hoping you did."

"I have to go pee," JB says, "Look at some art but please don't go far." I nod.

I wander around looking at pieces but not going too far. I stop and look at a piece with paint splatter all over it. A bunch of colors everywhere.

"It's a wonderful painting." A low, familiar voice says from behind me. My heart races- it couldn't be. How did he find me?

I turn around slowly and meet eyes with the one and only.

Ross.

AN:// Ah! I bet ya'll are confused but it'll make sense after a few chapters.
