Ross:-

Laura's been in there for 2 years, I can't do anything about it. I'm a poor guy, I am close to being on the streets. My job barely enough for my rent. I'm in a deep depression from not having Laura in my arms, from not having someone close to me. From not being able to tell her how much I love and care for her.

I've been so down that I almost lost my job 7 times, if it wasn't for my boss being leanant on me for my situation I'd be on the streets right now.

I go to work everyday, my mind is always wondering off thinking about Laura. Trying to think of a way to get the money to bail her out. I honestly can't remember what she is in there for. I'm that desperate to get her out, I fail to realise that the way for me to do that is to earn money, and to earn money I need to work.

See my delima?

I take over time all the time knowing that there is no one home, there's never anyone for me to go home too. She ain't there, so there's no point of going home early, I end up going home about 11 at night, and going straight to bed.

It's the same old routine, over & over again.

But today I feel as if something is different, I wake up feeling a little positive, it's a Saturday, so, I don't go into work today, I go downstairs and see that I have mail.

As I go through the mail, I notice one that has came from Laura's jail centre, I put the other letters on the table next to me. Find the seat that is in the hall, sit down and continue to look at the letter.

Quite frankly, I am very scared to open this letter, it could say one thing that I don't want to read which would be that Laura's jail sentence has been extended a few more years.

I can't live without her any longer...

I reluctantly open the letter and carefully read over it, I let out the light breathe that I was holding in.

The letter was basically stating that because Laura's behaviour was amazing, she is getting let out a year earlier...no one has to bail her out.

I was getting this letter sent to me because they she was my girlfriend. I pecifically asked them to send any letter regarding Laura to me personally.

I look at the date she is being released and that's tomorrow.

I stand up forgetting about the other letters and run upstairs and get showered. I have to clean up and fix my presentation.

I showered and changed into some clean clothes that I found hung up. All the dirty ones were instantly chucked into the lundry.

I ran around the house and fixed everything that was insight. Meaning dishes, dusty areas which would be everywhere. I changed the bedding and cleaned everywhere I could think off.

It was nearly by 10 at night when I finished. I need to go to the building so I can see her first. So, I fell asleep on the couch not wanting to crease the newly made bed.

-Next Morning-

I woke up, it was 9am, I was now worried as she was being released. I got up, washed my face and brushed my teeth and got some clean clothes on. I was fixing my hair when I heard the front door downstairs slam shut.

I closed my eyes tight knowing I failed.

"Ross?" That voice, tears instantly started flowing, I couldn't hold back the feeling of relief knowing she was going to be back in my arms any second.

"L-laura?" She walked through the bedroom door, her hair, her eyes, her lips and her whole appearance was something I dearly missed.

"Oh my goodness, Laura" I pulled into my arms, I then realised we both broke down in each other's arms.

I was crying and so was she.

"I'm sorry Laura, I was planning to come and get you from the centre, I didn't want you coming home on your own"

"Ross, I may have been Locked Away, but being in your arms right now. I am now finally home" I smiled and kissed her lips.

My home is finally here.

Well, thank you too @RauraCool for the song suggestion. I've not stopped listening to it. I know this oneshot isn't what the song is saying, but I kinda like to make my own plot on it. This is dedicated to you though.

Anyway, guys. Please keep commenting suggestions.

Love you all you beautiful huskies.
