Wild Hearts ( A Ross Lynch Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

Haley's POV

"Cheryl  was an amazing best friend, daughter and mother." Mum's friend Angie sobbed into the mic. "She will never be forgotten, and I will always remember the lovely memories I shared with her. She's been taken away and not enough people got to know how beautiful and amazing this woman was." 

I wiped a tear away from under my eye and carried on listening to her speech.

"Earth's lost a treasure but heaven's gained an angel, I'm sure she will be watching us." she said some more stuff, but I was unable to listen as my tears were stopping me for doing anything else. I had to keep my sobs to avoid noise so I just sat there. 

Ellington was doing a speech after this, so I was prepared for more tears.

As Angie walked off the stage, Ellington stood up, "I'll be back in a minute ok." he whispered and I nodded, watching him walk onto stage. I lifted my head up when Ellington's voice spoke, it was crackly and broken. I don't know why he decided to do a speech, I was going to do one but I knew I would just cry all the way through it, and nobody would be able to understand me.

"Mum was so amazing..." Ellington began and I felt the tears flow again and again. A warm pair of arms wrapped me into a hug, I saw it was Ross, he gave me a weak smile and I rested my head on his chest. He made me feel warm inside and it was weird.

We said our last goodbye to mum and then we watched her being cremated before being  given the ashes. My mum is in the vase. It is weird. I was extra careful holding it and I didn't trust myself so Ellington carried it for me. 

"I'm in my room." I took off my coat and walked to my room. "Same..." Ellington mumbled and gave me a tiny smile before walking to his room and so did I. I didn't lock the door, just closed it anyway, nobody would come in before knocking.

I took a shower and changed into my pajamas and laid on my bed. I couldn't cry or anything, nothing came out. There was a knock on the door and I stood up. "Come in." I whispered and laid back on the bed when I saw it was Rocky. "Hi." I spoke and he raised his hand. "Are you okay?" he asked and slowly walked over. "I don't know." I sighed and sat up to face him. 

"And, that's why I came here." he said and I turned my head sideways.

"What do you mean?" 

"So I can make you feel better, hey I've got an idea, how about Ross and you go to-"

"What? Me and Ross!?" I asked a little confused.

"C'mon Haley, we all know that he likes you!" he giggled and I had a stupid little smile on my face.

"No, he doesn't!" I exclaimed. "He does! And  you like him too, don't you?"  he raised his eyebrow.

"What? No! We are just friends!" Yes I do have feelings for Ross and it's really... odd.

"I'm sure, both of you will be more than that by next week."

Little I did know what Rocky said was going to be true...
