Ross' POV
Laura finished the cake and now we're all eating it. I had some frosting on my plate so I swiped it onto my finger and then put it on her nose. She looks over at me with an angry face. She then grabbed some of her frosting and put some on my nose.

Ross: happy?

Laura: not quite yet

I gave her a confused look. She took the rest of her cake and shoved it in my face.

Ross: oh you did not just do that

Laura: oh I think I did

I took the rest of my cake and showed it into her face as well

Ross: looks like we're even now

Laura: *rolls her eyes* fine

Rydel: you two are so cute

Raura: *roll their eyes*

Stormie: so Laura: you, your sister and who ever is staying with you are coming over on New Years right?

Laura: umm yeah just Me and Nessa... My dad will be on his way back to Canada and I don't like being in the same room as my mom anymore

Stormie: okay

Laura: I should probably get going before Nessa freaks about why I'm not home... I'll see you on Saturday... Happy Birthday again Rossome

Ross: thanks Laurie

Lynches: bye Laura

Laura: bye

December 31, 2011

Laura's POV
Me and Nessa were getting ready together to go to the Lynches for New Years tonight. Once we were finished we walked down the stairs. 'Mom' walks in the room glaring at me.

Laura: Hello cheater

Ellen: that's it Laura I am sick of you trashing me for a mistake

Laura: okay one: it wasn't a mistake cause you kissed back... and two: I am standing up for my father because he would have never done that to you... Well maybe I would have if I knew you would have done it back

Ellen: *smacks her across the face* I AM DONE WITH YOU TREATING ME LIKE CRAP... I WANT YOU OUT OF MY HOUSE

I run out of the house with tears streaming down my face. I was holding my cheek all the way over to the Lynches. I knock on the door and wait there as Nessa catches up to me. She hugs my side as the door opens to Rydel. She notices me holding my cheek and gasps

Rydel: Laur did someone hit you

Laura: yeah and that someone is who I used to call my mom

Rydel: umm come in... My brothers are getting everything set up downstairs so let's go into the kitchen and get you and ice pack

Laura: thanks Delly

Rydel: no problem

We walk into the kitchen to see Stormie cooking dinner. I sit down at the counter and Rydel hands me an ice pack. Stormie looks at my cheek and gasps.

Stormie: Laura what happened

Laura: my mom hit me

Stormie: I'm so sorry sweetie

Laura: c-can I stay here please

Stormie: yes as long as you need to

Rydel: Laura you know since your under 18 you can get her charged for that it's still child abuse

Laura: I know *starts crying* I just can't believe that she would do that to me

Rydel: I'll be right back

Rydel leaves the room and I put my head down on the counter crying... I'm her daughter why would she do that to me. I heard extra footsteps running up the stairs and over to us

Ross: what happened

I lifted my head up and faced him. That's when he saw my cheek

Ross: wha--- how... how did this happen?

Laura: my mom smacked me...

Ross: *hugs Laura* I'm so sorry this happened to you Laurie

Laura: it's okay Rossome

Vanessa: I'm going to go call dad *walks off*

Stormie: Ross why don't you take Laura downstairs and I'll be down with dinner in a few

Rydel: I'll wait for Nessa

Ross: okay

Me and Ross walk downstairs to see the boys playing a board game on the floor. Ross takes me over to the couch and we sit down.

Ross: are you sure your okay

Laura: yeah just stunned

Ross: I'm sorry that this is happening to you and your family

Laura: yeah but you were right when you were talking about how it's just fait doing its work

Ross: yeah... But I wouldn't expect fait to take it this far

Laura: maybe fait is tarring down my parents relationship because they weren't meant for each other... But maybe fait is bringing together some other pair *looks at him*

Ross: *looks at her* who?

Our faces were inches apart and I could feel his breath on mine. We started leaning closer until
