Along The Way: A Raura Story

Twenty-Eight

Ross POV

I re-read the letter, again.

"You'll forever hold my heart...."

I shake my head and rub my face. How could she possibly think this was okay? I look around and see Rydel and Raini crying- from their letter.

She tells me she loves me, then leaves me. Doesn't she know I love her too?

God, then that madness she was saying about not making me happy- yeah I was stressed about her state right now but that doesn't mean she doesn't make me happy.

I sit down on the couch, away from everyone, thinking by myself.

Someone pats my shoulder and I look up to see Riker. He sits down next to me, his eyes red and swollen from crying.

"Why?" He asks in a hoarse voice. I shake my head in anger, "I'm going to find her." I say firmly, determined.

Riker sniffles, "Ross...." he says, "She didn't even leave a clue where she went. She could be in bomb fuck Egypt for all we know. She could be dead... she.." Riker looks like he'll start crying again.

I frown, turning to him, "Don't fucking say that Riker. I'll find her and bring her home." With that I jump from my spot and leave the house- slamming the door as I leave.

As I go outside I sit on the curb, looking at the stars. My front door opens then closes, footsteps were getting louder and louder.

"Ross, honey." My mom says as she sits down next to me. She puts her arm around me, my head leans on her shoulder.

"What did your letter say, baby?" She asks in a soft, delicate voice. My jaw clenches, "Nothing."

She scoffs, "Oh please, there had to be something."

"She said she loved me." I say before I could filter my mouth. My mom sighs quietly, "I don't understand her reason for leaving everyone like this. Why did she..."

"She left because of me."

My mom grabs my chin, she runs her fingers through my fucked up hair. "Ross, don't say that. I know you both love each other, Laura- she loves you so much. She wouldn't hurt you like this."

I smile without humor, "Funny cause she did." I get up and leave my mom.

"Ross!" She yells after me. I turn around, "Give me some space Mom." I run into the darkness.

After running around and punching a lot of trees I reach my house again. My knuckles were all bloody, they were raw.

I open my door and everyone is right where I left them but Vanessa is here.

She looks horrible.

Tears are rushing down her face, her face is red. Riker was next to her, comforting her. She sees me then rushed over.

"Ross," she says breathlessly, "Laura-Laura, she must of told you in her letter where she went," she looks to me with hope, "I mean- why... why wouldn't she?" Her eyes shift down.

"Vanessa, I'm sorry but she didn't tell me where she went. I'd definitely be there right now, you know that." Vanessa nods, "Yeah I know I just hoped.." Tears began going down her face and she started sobbing. Riker takes her to the couch and sits her down, smoothening her.

Suddenly, I remember something, "Vanessa." I say loudly enough for her to hear. She turns her head to me and I walk quickly to her.

"Laura's phone. Don't you have a tracker on it!?" I say fast, Vanessa's face comes to realization and she smiles, "Yeah! I do! It's-it's at home! Oh my god Ross! You're a genius!" She hugs me tightly. I smile and hug her back.

Vanessa gets up and Riker follows. We get in my car and drive to she house- fast.

As we enter the door Vanessa sprints to her computer, logging in. As we wait Riker and I look to each other with hope.

"She.." Vanessa says, "She is in Las Vegas..."

Las Vegas? I furrow my eyebrows, "What would she be doing there?" Then Vanessa turns to me, "I.. I don't know."

I sigh, "Well, road trip. It's time to bring her home."

As all three of us had our bags packed and loaded, we said goodbye to everyone. They told us to be careful and bring Laura home.

I start the engine and Vanessa lays down- sleeping. Riker in the passenger seat nods.

We are coming for you, Laura.
