Strangers in Love (A Ross Lynch Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - Phone Call

Hey guys! I just have to say something. Right now, literally at this very moment, R5 is in concert in Hollywood. They have been for exactly 10 minutes if my clock us correct. And it's like 1 and a half hours away from my house. Yeah, so I'm getting LOUD over here all by myself while some lucky people are seeing them at this very moment! Sorry. Just had to say it, it's killing me!  Well I hope they have an amazing show.. without me...

*Halfheartedly sighs*

READY SET ROCK!

When we got to the food court, Rydel was waiting there and eating a sandwich.

"Hey!" She said, then smiled when she noticed that we were holding hands. We both immediately let go of each others hand and I blushed. I knew that she was fine with us being together, but it still felt kind of weird. 

When Rydel finished eating, we all went back to the house.  Right when  we got there, Ratliff ran by yelling something about drumsticks.

"What was that about?" I asked with a laugh.

"You guys are late, we have to practice!!!" Said Rocky when he saw us.

"Oh gosh, I forgot!! Sorry Rocky!" 

"Just come on!" He said.

They set up everything and there was a lot of running around and confusion. I just sat on the ground watching them. When they were finally ready, they started practicing. First they sang Crazy 4 U, and I just listened. I loved their music, it just made me feel happy. And I LOVED Ross's voice, every time he sang I just wanted to kiss him. I didn't know why. While I sat there fighting the urge to drag Ross up to his room, they went through. all of their songs. I really loved their Christmas song, it was called Christmas is Coming. I smiled like a weirdo the whole time they sang it. After that, they were done practicing and cleared up again. Their brother Ryland helped too. When they were done, everyone went up to their rooms. Well, everyone and Ratliff. I grabbed something to drink from the kitchen then went upstairs too. Just then, the doorbell rang and Rydel ran downstairs to open the door. Her friends were at the door, and they all hugged. 

"Jenna, we're going to the movies! Do you want to come??" She called to me, but I shook my head. I was tired anyway. 

"Thanks anyway!" I said, and went upstairs. I went into Rydel's room and sat on the bed, grabbing a magazine from her desk on the way in. I was lying there reading Seventeen when my phone rang, and I picked it up without thinking.

"Hey Jenna, I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't mean all that stuff."

"Brandon?" I whispered, my voice cracking. Why would he call me? Why couldn't he just let me be?

"Yeah, it's me. So please, take me back!"

"I can't. I'm sorry." I said quietly. I wished I could just hang up right then.

"What? What do you mean you can't? I apologized and everything!"

"It would take way more than just an apology to make me forgive you. And it's never going to happen. So please leave me alone." I said, my eyes welling with tears.

"Well if that's how you want to be, fine. But you're going to regret this! And by the way, I know where you are." said Brandon angrily, and he said the address of the Lynches house. I almost dropped my phone. Was this some kind of sick joke?

"Brandon, how did you know that?" I whispered, scared.

" I followed that van. I  knew you couldn't go home yet, so I followed you. Just watch out."

I hung up right then, and dropped my phone on the bed.

 And I just realized I'd forgotten to tell Ross something important about me...

I hung up the phone and walked to Ross's room, my eyes tearing up.

"Hey!" He said when I walked in, then he noticed that I was trying not to cry.

"What's wrong??" He asked, coming over and grabbing my hands. 

"Brandon called just now..." I said quietly.

Anger immediately showed on his face, and he gripped my hands tighter. 

"What did he want??" He asked.

"He wanted to get back together with me." I whispered, and tears spilled out of my eyes. Ross's face immediately looked concerned, and he pulled me into a hug. 

"I told him to leave me alone and he said I'd regret it! And he knows your address! He said he followed the van here!" I cried, afraid of what he might do to me.

Ross pulled away, and looked me straight in the eye.

"Jenna, listen to me. I will not let him hurt you. I won't even let him touch you. Don't worry about him."

I felt more tears fall out of my eyes. Ross was so nice, and I had been keeping something from him. Not intentionally though! 

"Ross... I have to tell you something." I said with a sigh.

"What is it?" He asked, holding my hands again.

"I don't live in LA. I live about an hour away from here" I said softly, not looking into his eyes.

"What?" He asked, his voice almost cracking.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. But I can't go back, I don't want to go back!" I cried, and he wrapped his strong arms around me again. 

"We'll get through this Jenna, don't worry. But I just have one question..." He said softly.

"If we ever have to break up, which I hope never happens, will you promise me not to get back together with Brandon?"

"We won't break up. And I would never go back to Brandon, no matter what." I said quietly, meaning it."

He looked at me with his eyes full of longing, and I reached up and kissed him right then. I never wanted to leave him, never wanted this to end. He pushed me up against the wall, still kissing. I wrapped one of my legs around his waist, and pulled him closer to me. 

"Never let me go" I whispered into the kiss, and he moaned softly. He pushed me against the wall harder, and I could never imagine not being close to him, not seeing him everyday. 

I heard a creak, and saw Riker standing in the doorway. His eyes widened when he saw us, and he shut the door. I didn't even pull away from Ross. We moved over to the door while still kissing, and I kicked it closed and locked it. My hands were in his hair, and his were around my waist. I wanted him right then! But I couldn't do this now. I was only sixteen! But his lips tasted so good... I could go a little farther right? I reached behind him and tugged his shirt, pulling it off. My eyes lingered on his abs for a few seconds, and he chuckled. We kept kissing, and I felt his tongue press against my lips but I didn't open them. Not yet. His hands went up and down my back, while mine explored his biceps. I never wanted this kiss to end. Hey, who said it had to?
