So.... I wrote this chapter, maybe, a couple months ago, so i don't remember what artist Tomorrow is by! So I'll just say that this chapter's songs (note that songs is PLURAL) are Tomorrow by Annie, & Tomorrow by Avril Lavigne. They're both basically the same song, i think. I haven't heard either of them in a while.

Please fan/comment/vote!!! xx

Chapter 35

Tomorrow

I buried my face into my pillow and screamed. Sobs wracked my body and i felt my heart catch fire, then crack and shrivel up in my stomach.

"Ross," i whispered. "Ross."

"I'm here."

I screamed again and looked up to see Ross standing over me. "What are you doing here?!" i scream-whispered.

"We have to do something," he smiled shyly.

"Oh Ross," i sobbed, sitting up and pulling his head down to eye level with me. "Ross..." tears ran down my cheeks in a steady stream.

"I... I have an idea," Ross whispered, caressing my cheek.

My heart stopped.

I had a feeling that i knew what he was going to say next.

"Wait," i whispered. I pulled on his neck and he fell gently on top of me, and i lay down with him on top of me.

Ross smiled and grabbed my hand. "I love you."

Tears rolled down my cheeks faster. I leaned in and pressed my lips against Ross's, pushing into him and twisting to get into a better position.

Ross put a hand on my arm and pushed his tongue into my mouth, making my heart float back into my chest.

After what felt like a minute, but in reality was an hour, Ross broke away from me breathing heavily.

"My idea," he breathed. "I--"

"Get me pregnant for real?" i asked, putting a hand on his chest.

Ross looked uncomfortable. "Yeah... Listen, okay, i told my parents my idea, and Carly, and Brenda, and all of my siblings, and basically everyone except Carly's mom, your mom, and tommy..."

My eyes widened. "Wait a second. So you got an ok from your parents, and your siblings, and my... Siblings, to knock me up?" i raised an eyebrow.

"At the moment, it's the only way," Ross whispered, searching my face.

"Ross... I love you; and... I don't know what I'd do if i lost you. But... I can't get pregnant. I'm sixteen! I should be crushing on boys, not having their babies... Plus, that would mean losing my virginity. I..."

"No; i understand," Ross smiled. "I knew you'd say that."

I laughed nervously.

Ross glanced at the clock. "I should probably get going..."

I frowned and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Please stay," i whispered.

"I can't," Ross's voice cracked. "My family's expecting me back, and if your mom or tommy came in and found us together..."

my heart broke. "I know..." i whispered hoarsely.

"I love you Jordan," Ross gave me a little peck on my lips, then he was gone.

The next morning i woke up and walked groggily downstairs, not bothering to brush my hair.

I glared at my mom as i passed her, but she didn't say anything.

Was i getting the silent treatment?

Micah and all of the other help were just leaving when i walked in.

Micah looked at me like "What the heck happened?!" and i shot him what i can only hope looked like "I'll tell you later........."

I sat down glumly in a chair in between Brandon and Carly.

After i ate a measly meal of Cheerios with no milk, i trudged back upstairs and proceeded to burry my face in my pillow.

That would be a good way to die.

I thought of what Ross would say to my silly idea...

Probably something like, "You're too pretty to die!" "If you died I'd die!" "I don't think you can die by shoving your face in a pillow."

I imagined his laughing eyes fixed on me, the feeling of his soft body pressed against mine and... us...

"Well, i guess I'm never going to be Mrs. Ross Shor Lynch," i whisper, barely audible. My heart breaks and I start crying, biting into my pillow to try to not make any sound.

Suddenly someone taps my shoulder and i start, only to realize that it's only Carly.

"Carly!" i sob, sitting up and wrapping my arms tightly around her.

"I know," she patted my back. "I have to ask." she breathes in a hushed voice.

"Ask what?" i sniffle, rubbing my runny nose with my pillow.

"Did you and Ross do it last night?" her eyes searched mine.

"What-- oh. No."

Carly leaned back with a sigh of relief. "I knew you wouldn't do it! Ross knew too. Everyone knew... Just we all figured it was worth a shot. Listen." her voice became even quieter, reminding me of wind. "Your mom wants all of us to take shifts to watch you, to make sure you don't run off to see Ross or something."

I start to cry again.

"No no Jordan i have good news that comes with it! You can go see Ross in the forest during Josh's, brandons, Brenda's, and my time to watch you. We convinced your mom to let us all watch you in a sequence; meaning, you can go out with Ross in the morning and come back in the afternoon." Carly looked really excited. "That is, as long as you're up for it. Brenda already called the Lynch's, and they're staying on island for a little while more to try to convince your mom to let ross have you back, and they agreed with the plan. But do you?"

I nodded my head vigorously. "Of course. When do we start??"

Carly smiled. "Tomorrow."
