Strangers in Love (A Ross Lynch Fanfic)

Chapter 17 - The last day

When I woke up the next morning, I was still in Ross's arms. He hadn't woken up yet but I didn't want to get up and ruin the moment so I stayed still. My head was on his arm and I turned toward him and snuggled into the blankets, drifting back into sleep. 

I was woken up a while later when I felt Ross moving. I felt so comfortable that I just tried to go back to sleep, but I suddenly felt him move and then his lips were on mine. I immediately rolled closer to him and deepened the kiss. Ross wrapped his arm around me and moved so that he was on top of me, and I giggled nervously. I tried to roll so that I was on top, but didn't realize we were at the edge of the bed and we both fell off of it onto the floor. 

"What the..?" Ross asked, and I started laughing.

"So- sorry!" I giggled, and he started laughing too. 

He got up, but I couldn't because my legs were still tangled up in the sheets.

"Do you need help?" He asked witha a smirk.

"No. I got this!" I said back, and struggled some more.

After about 5 more minutes, I was still stuck.

"Ross.." I said.

"Yes?" He asked innocently.

"I need help." I whispered.

"Why didn't you just say so?" He asked with a smile, and he effortlessly pulled me up. I was going to thank him by giving him a peck on his cheek, but he turned toward me at exactly that moment and  I ended up kissing him on the lips. We were both surprised, but he pulled me closer to him and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He suddenly pulled away from me, and I stared at him

"What was that?" I asked, confused.

"Wait here. Just one second, I'll be back!" He said, then ran out the door.

I sat down on the bed to wait for him, and heard a bunch of banging doors. He came back a few minutes later with a smile on his face and scooped me into his arms.

"Everyone left already. We're alone!" He announced, then carried me downstairs. 

"Ross! I can walk by myself!!" I laughed, but he held me tighter.

"That wouldn't be any fun though!" He answered. He took me to the living room and put me down on the couch.

"Now what?" I asked, looking around.

"Oh.. I didn't think past carrying you down here.." He said, trying to think of an idea.

"Well, I'm hungry! Let's start with breakfast." I said, dragging him into the kitchen. 

"I'll make breakfast. Just relax!" He said, so I smiled and sat down at the table to check my twitter. After about five minutes I looked up to see how breakfast was coming and saw Ross standing there covered in flour, and there was a cracked egg on the ground. He saw me staring and looked at the ground sheepishly

"Ross... do you need help?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

"Yes." He sighed, and I burst out laughing. I cleared up the egg from the floor while Ross went upstairs to change and wash the flour off of him. He came back downstairs and I found some cereal for us to eat instead, and after we ate we went back to the living room. 

"What do you want to do now?" He asked.

"I have an idea" I whispered, then walked up to him and pressed my lips to his. He put his arms around me and pulled me close, the picked me up again. 

"I like your idea.." He said, then carried me upstairs back to his room. He put me down then pressed me up against the wall, still kissing me. His lips moved down to my neck and I moaned. I tugged at the bottom of his shirt, and he pulled it off. My eyes got wide as I saw all of his muscles, and he laughed then kept kissing my neck. He tugged my shirt off too, and all I wanted was him. Suddenly, the reality of what was happening hit me. Hard.

I pulled away quickly, and looked around for my shirt. I found it and pulled it back on.

"What? What's wrong?" Ross asked, and I looked away.

"I- I just can't do this right now. I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't want to do this because it'll only make me miss you more. I'm sorry.." I whispered, and he came over to me.

"Hey, don't worry! It's going to be fine. We can video chat, and talk to each other on the phone, and..."

"Ross... maybe we shouldn't. Long distance relationships never work, and I know I only live an hour away but it'll just be to hard. Maybe.. maybe we shouldn't try to keep things this way.. And you could have someone better than me." I said softly, looking at the floor.

"Don't say that! Please don't! I can't stand the thought of never seeing you again." He said, his smile fading from his face.

"I'm sorry Ross... I think I should go." I whispered, and ran to Rydel's room locking the door. I couldn't stand to see his face. There were tears streaming down my face, but I ignored them. I packed up all my stuff and ran downstairs. Ross was right behind me, trying to convince me to stay. I almost ran outside but Riker walked in just then.

"Hey guys, I just came back to get.. Wait, what's going on? Jenna, why are you crying?" He asked, looking surprised.

"I.. I have to go home now." I said.

"You do? I thought you weren't leaving until tomorrow morning!" Riker said.

"Something came up... I need to go now." I said, not looking him in the face.

"Okay, well I'll take you home then." He said, and I shook my head.

"No, I'll take a bus, or -"

"Jenna, I'm not going to let you go back alone. Come with me." I nodded and took one last look at the house, which I was going to miss so much. I saw Ross standing a little behind me, his eyes red. 

"Jenna.. Don't..." He whispered, and I couldn't take it anymore. I ran to him and gave him just one more hug and a kiss on his cheek, then ran out to Riker's car. More tears started falling down my face as I sat down, and took my last look at the Lynch's house.
