Forever & Always (A Ross Lynch Love Story)

Chapter 33: Get Away

Chapter 33

Get away

"Jordan," Ross whispered hoarsely.

My eyes flicked open and Ross had his head on my chest.

"We have to go," i glanced at my clock. It was 3 AM.

I nodded. Ross stood up and grabbed my hand, pulling me up to stand next to him.

I ran into my closet and pulled on a white spaghetti strap tank top with a dark green zip up jacket over it, and a pair of dark blue cut off jean shorts.

Ross walked up to me and grabbed my hands, pulling himself closer to me.

He smiled and pressed his forehead against mine.

"You came at the perfect time," i laughed quietly, imagining what i would have done if he had walked in while i was changing.

"Well..." his eyes glittered.

I pushed up closer to him and felt his heart beating through his thin shirt.

"It's time," he whispered suddenly.

I looked up at him and blinked sleep out of my eyes. We were doing it. We actually were doing it.

Ross and i crept downstairs and out the front door, being as silent as mice.

As soon as we were out the door, we ducked down and ran for the woods.

After what felt like minutes (in actuality, with a glance at the sun high over head and a look at rosss watch it was more like hours) of just running through the woods laughing and occasionally falling down and kissing, we stopped in a tiny clearing where there was a stream gurgling through rocks quietly.

"Look Jordan!" Ross slid under a giant rock.

"Ross!" i yelled. "It's going to fall on you!!"

"It's fine!" Ross laughed and threw his head back.

I crawled in next to him and Ross scooted closer to me, making the whole side of his body press against mine.

He laced his fingers through mine and lay his head down on the soft hearth under my chin.

He put a hand on my cheek and brushed it lightly with his finger tips, sending my heart into a spasm.

"I love you," he whispered.

I leaned down and lay my face on his. "I love you too."

Ross smiled and his hand that had been caressing my cheek moved quickly to my neck, and he leaned up slightly and pushed his lips against mine.

I closed my eyes and let my emotions consume me.

No one would disturb us here. We could kiss forever... We were finally alone and together at last.

I pulled away to breath, and Ross pulled me up and out of the shade of the rock. Ross and i sat by the stream, his hand around my waist and our toes in the cold water. I nestled my head into his shoulder and Ross lay his head on the top of mine.

Ross lifted his toes out of the water for a second and examined them, then dipped them back in, scooting closer to me.

I smiled, then stood up and stretched.

"Stupid tank top!" i thought.

It kept riding up my stomach whenever i moved.

Before i could do anything to fix it, Ross jumped up beside me and hugged me from behind, putting his hands on my hips which where now exposed.

He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I am so happy right now," he whispered.

"Me too," i turned around to face him, putting a hand behind his neck. "I love you."

Ross smiled. "I love you too." Then he kissed me.

The next morning i woke up with my head pressed into Ross's chest under the giant rock.

I got up and walked around for a while.

When i came back Ross was gone.

I sat down by the stream and watched all of the little fish float down, their scales glistening in the bright sunlight.

Suddenly i felt someone's presence behind me.

"Jordan," i knew that voice. But it wasn't Ross.

I turned around quickly to make sure my ears weren't fooling me.

It couldn't be. How could he even have found me?! "Micah?!" i shouted.

"Jordan? What are you doing here?" Micah looked startled.

"What-- what are YOU doing here?" i stuttered.

"I asked you first," he started doing that flopping thing with his hands.

"I can't tell you," i breathed.

Micah smiled painfully, like he knew. "Okay. Well, then I'm here to find you." he paused, glancing at my stomach. "You don't look pregnant." he muttered.

I looked into his eyes for a second, and suddenly a wave of panic washed over me. How much did he know?

Suddenly i was crying into my hands, spilling everything to him.

How i wasn't actually pregnant, how I'd made it up to be with Ross, everything.

Once i was done Micah was silent for a moment. "I knew it."

"What?" i wiped my eyes.

"I knew you'd never actually be pregnant."

"Am i that predictable?" i sat up straighter.

Micah laughed. "yes..."

Micah and i talked for a while, then he got up and silently left.

Only minutes after he left, Ross came running out of the woods to me.

"Jordan!"

"Ross..." i looked at my toes. Talking to Micah had made me realize that i couldn't get married.

"We can't get married," Ross grabbed my hands and sat cross legged in front of me on the ground.

"That's what i was just about to say," i whispered.

"Jordan, i love you more than anything!! But... And... I'd love to have the security of knowing that your always be mine. But... Somehow... I feel like you WILL always be mine. Do you get that? Jordan--" i started to say something and he shushed me. "We need to tell everyone the truth."

"I know," i slid off my rock and sat in front of him. "I know!! M.." should i tell him about Micah coming? Whatever. "Micah came here. I don't know how he found me, but he helped me realize..." i trailed off.

Ross nodded.

"I'm not saying that i like him or anything! Just... He helped me realize that it would be a mistake to live running away from my family and having them believe a lie."

"I know," Ross smiled. "I talked to Micah too..."

Ross stood up and pulled me up next to him. He grabbed my hand. "Let's go home."
