My Perfect Adoptive Family

Look Into my Eyes

Ella's P.O.V

"Ross?" I call as I wipe more tears, before he closes the door.

He opens the door again, looking at me sadly. "Yes?"

I let more tears fall. "Please, don't leave me." He looks into the hall, then back at me. "Ross, please!"

He walks back in the room, closing the door. I collapse into his arms. "Shh, baby. I'm here. Why're you crying so hard?" He runs his fingers through my hair.

I sob into his chest. "I-I can't lo-lose you! Everyone ju-just walks away! Even Rik-Riker. You wa-watched him just walk away," I cry.

He cradles me in his arms, rocking me back and forth. "I'm not going to walk away. I'm going to stay by your side. Three more weeks of tour then we'll leave, okay?" He asks. I nod against his chest, trying to calm down. "Good, now let's go to bed. We have to be up early tomorrow." He lays on the bed as I change. I keep my back towards him as I strip everything but my underwear. I throw on one of Ross' shirts before laying down. I lay my Head on his chest. He kisses my forehead, wraps his arm around me, as I hiccup. "I love you, baby. I love you so much."

"I love you too, babe." ~ I open my eyes after hearing giggling. The right half of my body is on top of Ross, our lips barely touching. I run my hand down his side. He takes in a deep breath before opening his eyes. We both look at Riker, Selena, Rydel, Ellington, Rocky, Ryland, Stormie, and Mark. I snuggle closer to Ross, being scared.

He wraps his other arm around me. "It's okay," he whispers in my ear. "What do you guys want?" He asks annoyedly.

Rydel giggles. "Are you guys packed?"

He nods, "I am. Are you, baby?" He kisses my forehead.

I put my lips to his ear. "can you finish for me?" I whisper weakly.

He nods again. "Of course," he smiles and gets up. Everyone files out of the room except for Selena and Riker. She sits on the bed next to me. I flinch away when she goes to touch me. "Babe, it's okay. She's not going to hurt you."

I shrug and curl into a ball. Selena rests her hand on my side. "How're you feeling, sweetie?" She asks politely.

"Hor-horrible," I say as tears begin flowing again.

Riker sits on the other side of me. "Better than last night?" He asks as he move a piece of loose hair away from my face.

I nod slowly. "What happened last night?" Selena asks.

Ross stares at me from across the room. "I had a melt down," I whisper.

Ross shakes his head. "I brought up Janie and Ella got mad at me. My fault," he says.

Riker and Selena leave the room as Ross finishes packing. He zippers up the suitcase and looks at me. "What?" I whine.

He shrugs, running his fingers through his hair. "Can I lay with you?" I nod. He walks over, lying next to me. "Why're you so scared of everyone?" He asks as I put my head on his chest.

Wrapping our arms around each other, I close my eyes. "Because they can do whatever they want to me, at anytime."

He pulls me closer, kissing my head. "Ella, no one is going to hurt you," he sighs. "Not as long as I'm around."

We're now back on the bus, I'm laying on my bunk while everyone else does something. Ross keeps texting me but I don't answer. Everyone keeps texting me, asking if I'm alright. But I just want to be alone. I was until someone walked in.

"Ella?" A soft voice calls. "Are you awake?" Rocky asks. I hold my breath, choking back all of my tears. I finally let go and burst into a sob. "Ella, what's wrong?" He asks as he kneels in front of my bunk. I shake my head, gasping for air. "C-Calm down," he panics. "Riker! Selena!" He yells.

Everyone comes running in. "What's wrong?" Riker asks as he pulls me out of the bunk.

I cough up a lung. I start to calm down when Ross walks in. I look around, growing scared. "Ella, they aren't going to hurt you," Ross says. I shake my head again and jump into his arms. "Babe, calm down." He kisses my head.
