Laura's POV
We are finally home. Bahamas was absolutely gorgeous and the cruise was amazing. Well, up until Kayla tried to steal my boyfriend. This is why my best friend is Autumn and no one else. God! I miss her.
"Ready?" Vanessa asked me as I looked up. "Yeah. Let's go." I say. I get up from a chair and me and Vanessa walk downstairs. We are going furniture shopping for the new apartment me and Ross got. "Hey, dad." I say as I walk into kitchen.
"Hey, where you off too?" He asked. "Furniture shopping." I say. "What more do you guys need? You have a bed, a TV." Dad told me. "And what about the rest of the apartment? There's a kitchen and a living room that needs attention." Vanessa says.
"Right." He said. I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek. "Love you dad." I say as me and Vanessa walked out. We started walking but I whistled for cab. I really did not want to walk. Ross is meeting us at the furniture store, whatever it's called.
'Riiing'
My phone starts ringing and I look at Vanessa. I wasn't expecting no calls from anyone. I look at my phone and see it was Ross. He probably is waiting for us and was wondering where we were.
"Hey baby."
"Come home. We need to talk..."
"Uh, okay."
I look at my phone for a second then put it back to my ear.
"Is everything okay?"
"No Laur. Get here soon."
"Alright. I love you."
"Love you too."
With that I hung up the phone. "Take me to the Manhattan True Apartments." Vanessa looked at me with a confused look. "I don't know.."

The taxi driver dropped us off and I gave him the money. I looked at the building in front of me and then looked at Vanessa. "I hope everything is okay." I say. Vanessa grabs my hand and it gives it a squeeze. "I'm sure everything is fine."
We walk in the building and go up the elevator. When the elevator opens, I run out and run straight to my new home. "Ross, open up. It's me." I say. Ross opens the door and looks at me. He looked so sad.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask. His head went down and I looked at Vanessa. I lift his chin up a little and look at him. "Baby.." I say. He then walked off. "What happened?" Vanessa asked. "No clue."
We walk in and shut the door. We then start to walk toward the living room area which only had a couch and a coffee table. There was Riker, Ross, and Ryland sitting down. All with their heads down.
"Hey guys. Is everything okay?" Vanessa asked. The silence was depressing, I wanted to scream. "Ross, my love, please, talk to me." I say and Ross looked up at me. I squatted down to his height, since he was sitting.
One hand was on his neck and the other was on his knee. "My mom." I finally hear words come out. His eyes started to get watery and I looked at Vanessa, who was squatted in front of Riker. "Got hit by a car." Riker says. My eyes widened as I gasp.
"While she was crossing the street." Ross finishes and starts to cry. I then start to cry with him. His forehead went up against mine. "It's okay. It's gonna be okay." I whisper. Vanessa sat on Riker's lap and she held him tight. "Alexis." We say.
I start to play with the back of Ross's hair and I hug him tight.

New chapter. I know it's been like 2 weeks. I'm a horrible person. But today I tried Starbucks for the first time... delicious. I was in heaven with that coffee.
