Taking Chances (a Ross Lynch fanfiction)

Chapter 9

I woke up with another text. I checked the time. 5am. I must have fallen asleep texting Ross.

I sat up and read the message. Wow. How much time did it take him to write this?

'I'm sorry. I know you're still mad and upset over this whole thing. I understand. I just want to talk in person, to try to explain myself and apologize for being a total jerk. I really am sorry and I miss seeing you. I didn't realize how much I would miss after just one date. I talked to my parents and they said they don't hate you and they would actually like to meet you. I understand if you don't want to right away. I want to do what's best for you. Just let me know and we can do something.'

I couldn't believe I woke up to a message from him like that. Might as well text him back I guess.

'I would like to see you again. I don't know if I'm ready though. You really hurt me with what you said and obviously the fans don't want to see me around you or anyone you know anymore. I just don't know anymore....'

He replied almost instantly. Was he waiting for my text or something? Did he stay up all night or is he just a light sleeper?

'I'm happy you want to see me again. I understand but you also have to keep in mind that I do still have to leave soon for tour. If I could change it I would. I would give you all the time in the world to think about it and to stay with me but I have to leave soon. I really do want to see you though.'

'Alright,' I admitted, 'I want to see you tomorrow. We can make plans.'

'I will pick you up when you're ready and we can do something tomorrow, anything, as long as I'm with you.'

'Ok. Any time is alright with me. I just have to get up and get ready.'

'What about like 10 tomorrow? I can pick you up at about 10 and we can do whatever?'

'10 is fine. See you then.'

I rolled over and went back to sleep. What was I going to do? I don't know if I can face him. What if he gets mad again? I don't want to get in another fight.

------------------------------------------

I woke up at 9 in the morning. I had an hour to get ready.

I drug myself out of bed and to the bathroom to wash my face. On my way back from the bathroom my mom stopped me.

"Hey, what are your plans for today? I have to go to the office for a couple of hours."

"Well, I'm supposed to see Ross today..." I stuttered.

"I thought you two weren't talking. What happened? After last time I don't want you two being alone together."

"He texted me last night asking if we could talk today. Don't worry. We definitely won't be doing anything."

"When is he getting here? Where will you be? What will you be doing?"

I sighed. "He said he'd be here around 10, we will probably talk here, I have no idea what else. I will text you and keep you updated on where I'll be."

"Alright. I'm leaving, I will be back soon. Be careful."

"Bye, love you mom."

"Love you too sweetheart."

She walked down the steps and I heard her get in the car and drive away.

I went back to my room and sat back down on the bed.

What am I doing?

It's already 9:30 and I'm not even close to ready. Then a car pulled into the driveway. Ross must be here early. I thought he would have texted me first.
