Stranded; A Raura Story

Ross' pov

Its been about a week since we got 'here', wherever 'here' is. Laura is still sick, at least I hope she's sick, well I don't want her to be sick at all, but I'd rather have that, than it to be worse. We've already lost one person, we can't lose another. ESPECIALLY not Laura, she wouldn't deserve it. She doesn't deserve anything, thats shes been through. That girl has gone through so much. She is the happiest most innocent person I've ever met, she shouldn't have to go through this, especially not alone, so I'm there whenever she needs me. Including right now, even though she might not know it yet.

She hasn't really been eating, or drinking. She has just been laying down all day all night doing nothing. Im really worried about her. We all are.

Riker, Rocky, Calum, and I, are trying to figure out how to get home, and are trying to figure out whats wrong with Laura, while the girls are looking for food and water.

I see Rocky walk into the tent with fruit and water, probably for Laura, but I doubt she'll eat it, I've been trying to get her to eat ever since I found out that she got sick. A couple of minutes later, I see Rocky come back out, with the food still in his hands. It kills me knowing Laura doesnt feel good, and isn't eating. I would take her pain away in an instant if I could. She could be dying and I would rather switch places with her, than to have her hurt. I just can't lose her. I hear a scream, and figure its coming from Laura. I run in there as fast as I could to see if she was ok, but as soon as I walk in, I regret leaving her in there alone. There was a jaguar backing her up against the wall. I was trying to think of a way I could get her out of this, but the only thing that was going through my head was the possibilities of me being too late, and what would happen. Then, in the corner of my eye, I see a piece of wood-from the fire we were trying to start the other night- and grab it getting ready to fight off the jaguar with it. I know its a long shot, but what other choice do I have? Its for Laura, thats all that matters right now. As soon as I see it about to pounce, I hit it in the back, causing it to turn around, and come towards me. As im fighting it off, I see everyone come in, due to the screaming they heard coming from Laura, yelling for help. Riker comes up behind it, grabs the wood, that I recently dropped, when I was jumped on by the animal. Smacking it on the head, Riker ends up making the jaguar fall over and let out a piercing scream. I grab the wood and start hitting the jaguar repeatedly until I make sure that it was no longer breathing. Laura runs to me engulfing me in the biggest hug that she has ever given me, or anyone for that matter. Hugging her back, I see that everyone else was trying to get the dead animal out of here. As soon as they leave, Laura starts smacking me.

Laura: ARE*smacks* YOU *smacks* CRAZY?!*smacks* YOU*smacks* COULD*smacks* HAVE*smacks* GOTTEN*smacks* HURT*keeps smacking*

Ross: *holds her hands to stop her from hitting him* OW STOP SMACKING ME!!! Im ok. Ide rather get hurt than chance you getting eaten. Dont worry about me. Your the one thats sick.

She looks at me sheepishly, and then looks anywhere but my eyes.

Laura: Yeah, I-I... yeah, yo-your probably rig-... I mean-uhh...

I grab her face in my hands, making her look at me.

Ross: whats going on? Laura you can tell me, I wont be mad at you. Please.....

Then I hear her stomach growl. Lifting up her shirt, I see how skinny she is. Tears start filling in my eyes. No-no she can't.....she wouldnt....

Ross: Laur...please, please tell me you aren't...

I see tears fill in her eyes.

Ross: why? Why would you do something as stupid and dangerous as this? Are you crazy? Why would you starve yourself? Do you know how dangerous that is? You are eating something now. Your not leaving my sight.

Laura: You said it was my fault that were here. SOMEONE HAS DIED BECAUSE OF THIS! You said you hated me, your the only one I have left Ross. I dont deserve to be alive...I'm sorry.

WHAT THE H***??

Ross: WHAT!? DONT YOU EVER SAY THAT EVER AGAIN!! DO YOU HEAR ME!!?? I COULD NEVER HATE YOU!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD WANT YOU---I cant even say it. H-how? Why? Why would you do that? Laur, i love you so much, you dont understand how much you mean to me. Please don't do this to yourself.

Laura's pov

Im so stupid. I cant believe I did something like this. I couldn't help it though, when Ross said he hated me, it just got to me. Hes my best friend, I love him to death, and I didnt even think about how this would affect him. STUPID!!!! UGH!!! HE PROBABLY THINKS IM CRAZY!!! Now he'll never leave me alone. I give him a HUGE hug. When I feel his arms wrap around me, I feel tears soaking into my shirt. I broke him. Hes always so strong for me, barely ever cries, not in front of me anyway, and now that I'm witnessing it, I know that I never want to see it again. It breaks my heart, and knowing that I'm the cause of it, breaks me too.

Now were both crying into each others arms.

Laura: Im so sorry, please forgive me.

I whisper into his chest.

Ross: You have nothing to be sorry about. You wouldnt have done that to yourself if it wasnt for me. I forgave you as soon as I said all of those things. Actually, I was never really mad at you, I was upset at myself all this time for hurting you. And im sorry for that. Please forgive me. *he whispers back into my hair*

I pull away and ask him if we're good. He pulls me in and kisses my forehead, and whispers "were good". We walk out of the tent, to see that its already dark out. Wow, have we really been talking for that long? I see everyone huddled together around the fire and pull Ross along with me to them, hand linked in his.

I see the two 'lovebirds' aka Ross and Laura walk out of the fort holding hands. Thats a good thing. I hate when they're mad at each other. Its always so awkward. They always made up soon after, so this time even I was nervous for them. But im glad they made up. They're inseparable. They are so cute together. When are they going to realize that they would be perfect together? One by one, everyone starts piling into our so called 'house' for while were here, getting ready for bed.

Laura's pov

I wake up in what I'm guessing is the middle of the night to screaming and crying. I look over to my right to see Ross having a nightmare. Hes yelling something that I can make out as "Laura, NO!! LAUR LAUR NOOOO!!!" I roll on top of him shaking him trying to get him to wake up. Thankfully he does. He looks around and when his eyes land on me, they widen, and he pulls me in for a HUGE hug. Gripping me as hard as he could, I could tell.

Laura: Hey, hey, hey, whats going on? Are you ok? Are you in pain?

Ross: Thank gosh your ok Laur.

He says hugging tighter.

Laura: Ross, whats going on? What do you mean thank gosh I'm ok? Of course I'm ok. Your here with me. Why wouldnt I be ok?

After saying that I see a smile forming on his face. He pulls me in again.

Ross: I just had a nightmare that I lost you. Im sorry for waking you.

A frown forms upon my lips, knowing that I'm the cause of this. He notices immediately what I mean, and his features soften, and he pulls me in yet again for another hug. Whispering to me, he relaxes me, rubbing my back, while I rest my head on his shoulder.

Ross: it's not your fault. Its the jaguars. Nothing you do could hurt me, unless you leave me of course (he says smiling)

Hearing that brings a smile to my face and I start dozing off, but not before feeling his lips touch my forehead, and hearing him say.....

Ross: Goodnight Laur, sweet dreams, I love you.
