*ROSS' P.O.V*
"So I get this 'National Signal Guarantee' on my phone, and I hardly have any signal right now. Why do you think that is?" I asked.
"I don't know, my phone is acting up too." Laura Marano handed me a glass of water. "You seem a little dehydrated, drink up." Laura's curled brown hair dance across her face. Her big brown eyes looked worried for me.
"Thanks.." I muttered. I took a sip of water and leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling.
"Your in love, aren't you?" She smiled.
"What? What make you think that?" I looked at her. She was right, I just wanted to know why she thought that.
"Well, you look like a lost puppy dog every time your away from LA." Laura took a sip from her drink and continued. "I see you talk to her on twitter all the time, and there are pictures of you 2 everywhere! Her name is Sapphire Bold, right?"
"Yeah, and she's amazing..." I chuckled, I leaned forward to face Laura. "She co-owns the Grand Hotel currently. She's so beautiful, and amazing in every way...... I think, when were both 18, I might ask her to marry me..."
"But Ross, you've only dated her for a few months? How do you know that you want to marry her?" Laura was shocked and as she spilled out questions, "18 isn't old enough to make huge life decisions like this. Are you sure you thought this out? What will Sapphire's parents think? Have you met them? and-"
"Laura!! I've got this. She doesn't turn 18 till August. I have about 8 months before this is a serious question to ask. I'm just throwing around ideas right now. I really think this is more than just the cupcake phase. I really do love her and-" My phone ringing cut me off.
I opened the text and read aloud:
"yo, Ross. have u seen Sapphire around? is she with u? -Rocky ;-)"
Before I could type a response, Rydel texted me.
"Ross have u seen Sapphire? where is she? :( -Rydel xo"
I looked confused at my phone and, again, before I could respond, a phone call came through. I answered it.
"Hello, this is the Grand Hotel of Los Angeles main management staff. Is this the phone of a Mister Ross Lynch?" A voice, I recognized as Colleen's, spoke.
My heart beat quicken, "Yes, this is Ross."
"Hello, Mister Lynch. It has been brought to my attention that you are the boyfriend of Miss Sapphire Bold, niece of the current Grand Hotel owner. Is that true?"
"y-yeah. What's happening? Is something wrong?" I was getting nervous. Laura looked at me with wide eyes, she mouthed the words 'What's wrong?'
"Something is indeed very wrong. You didn't happen to bring Miss Bold with you on your trip did you?" She asked. She sounded just as nervous as I felt.
"No, she didn't want to come. What happened?!" I was shaking. I took a drink of my water before Colleen responded.
"Hmm, well that's not very good. You see, at 8 am this morning, our head of the maid staff, Mary, went to check of Sapphire. After realizing Miss Bold was not in the penthouse, Mary contacted the Lynch household. After questioning each member of the house, we decided to contact you. And-"
"Sapphire's missing?!" My voice cracked. Laura jumped from the shock. "She's missing? The heir to the Grand Hotel's fortune is missing?! Don't you-"
There was a tussle over the phone and Riker's voice came ringing in. "Ross? Dude, don't freak out. Sapphire's missing. Her car is here, but her keys, purse, and phone are gone and- HEY!"
