Taking Chances (a Ross Lynch fanfiction)

Chapter 4

After everyone had their turns at meet and greet, sound check started. First Riker came out on stage and went to the side and grabbed his bass guitar. Then Ratliff and Rydel walked out holding hands because Rydellington had been confirmed. Rocky followed right behind them and silently took his guitar. They all started making sure their instruments work and sounded right and played through a few songs. Everyone looked around a little confused and people were yelling, "Where's Ross?!?"

The rest of the band acted as if they didn't hear them and took their seats for Q&A. Riker called the first question and a short red haired girl with freckles who looked about 15 asked the question everyone was asking.

"Where's Ross? I haven't seen him since meet and greet."

Riker looked at Rydel, who looked at Ratliff, who looked at Rocky, who looked backstage then back to Riker. Riker sorta smiled and blushed.

"Well, Ross didn't want us to say anything, but one of you girls caught his attention during meet and greet and he is very nervous and he doesn't know what to do. He should be out soon."

Just as he finished speaking, Ross can out on stage holding a bright purple flower hat looks like he went out back and picked it. The girls in the audience were screaming but I stood there shocked.

"They have to be talking about you! You caught his attention! He is so into you!" Brittany started screaming.

"No, it can't be me. This isn't real. It's not me. Why would it be me?"

Ross started searching the audience then grabbed a mic.

"So, I know you've all been wondering where I was, but I have been working on what I want to say to a special girl I met today. I picked her a flower and I want to have a word with her. I just need your help finding her."

The crowd went nuts yelling, "Its me! I'm the one! I love you Ross!"

I stood there shocked. This isn't me it can't be!

Brittany started hitting me and yelling, "Ross!! Ross!! It was her! It was Ashley!"

Ross looked over and Brittany yelled louder and started jumping up and down pointing at me. I dropped down and hid behind the barrier separating us from the stage.

"He's coming over here! He saw you and he's coming!" Brittany yelled. She was making me deaf at this point.

"Oh no he ain't!!" I yelled back and started crawling away.

Before I got far a group of girls surrounded me and picked me up, pushing me back to the barrier.

I looked on the other side of the barrier and Ross was standing there, smiling at me.

"You wanna come with me for a minute? It's not very quiet here." He whispered.

I felt like I was dreaming. I nodded slowly and he took me hand and led me to the end of the barrier where a body guard let me through. I was led backstage and into a room where you could barely hear the audience screaming.

"I picked this for you. I hope you like it." He said looking bashful.

I just barely whispered back, "Its beautiful."

I was so nervous I almost fell. My knees where wobbling and I was shaking.

"Are you as nervous as I am?" He asked kinda shy.

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Well you keep looking at the floor and I can barely hear you." He said laughing.
