Living In The Past (Raura)

chap 10-Missing Ellen

He had folded the paper in half and stuck it in his cloths. Laura's mouth was hanging open. She was the girl his mother, Stormie, was talking about? Her heart pounded heavily against her chest as Ross started to rock back and forth.

"So yeah," he had whispered nervously when she was finished reading. This couldn't be true. Right? first,she stepped in to a puddle, and travel back in time. Then, she almost got killed. Last-and most important- some crazy message said that she was supposed to travel back in time, just to start this cute boy's life?

Is she cursed by someone? Laura felt Ross shaking her shoulder. "Maybe we should head back, it's dark, and you look exhausted." He puts a fake smile on, and helps her up. She couldn't help but notice his sad mood.

"What's wrong?" She sort of cooed. "Nothing, it's just.....You don't seem to like...like what the message says," he bit his lip. Laura widened her eyes at the misunderstanding, and shook her head rapidly.

"No no, it's not like that. I was just.... overwhelmed by the letter," she giggled nervously. The tiniest bit of humour appeared on his face. "Okay, it's really dark now, would you like to sleep in my house?"

Laura gasped. "Me? And your Japanese cottage? I meant house," she corrected myself quickly. "Relax," Ross laughs while saying the word. "You're not sleeping with me," he chuckles again. "Oh," Relief flood over her.

He reached out for her hand as she blushed, and we started swinging.

At Ross' house~~~

"This is where you'll be sleeping," Ross pulled open a large, red-ish curtain, revealing a king-sized bed. The bed was red, too, with white pillows and soft blanket. The thing that horrifies Laura-is that right behind the curtain, was Ross' bed, decorated and put nicely just like hers.

She guessed Stormie had set this up before he was born. "Well, good night!" He smirked then pulled the curtain close with one quick tug. And she was left alone. Shuddering, she pulled the blankets on her body.

To my suprise, they were actually warm. She was expecting it to be cold, and smelly. "I sleep talk," she warned Ross as she lied down. "Oh really?" Ross' chuckle was muffled by the curtain.

Laura mumbled something intelligible and closed her eyes. She hoped this dream will end like she'd hoped every day since she got in the past.

In the morning~~~

Laura woke up with a huge yawn. She tried to open her eyes, then it dropped. She drifted back to sleep.

Laura, baby. I'm here. My mother's voice.

I was staring in shock, where my mother stood with arms wide open. She wore long, pink Japanese dress that goes down to her feet.

I broke down crying, collapsing on the floor.

Laura! It's alright, everything'll be fine......

Laura shot up, tears stains on her red cheek. She rubbed it, frowning, shivering at the dream, she thought. It was too real. Impossible, but possible. She thought of Ellen, her blonde hair mixed with a few streaks of white. Ellen, the woman she owed more than anyone.

Ellen, the #1 mom. She thought of how she'd treated her mother in the past, and regretted it. Tears built up in her eyes. She needed to be in his arms. She jumped out of the bed, not bothering too fix the messy blankets and pillows.

Laura ran blindly around the gigantic house until she bumped in to a wall, fell down, and started sobbing. A comforted hand was placed on her shoulders. "Laura?" The person asked quietly. She continued to sob.

"Laura please tell me what's wrong," Ross pleaded, worry lacing his voice. She stood up, grabbing him by his sleeve, she pulled him outside, and down the stairs.

"Tell me,"he repeated sternly. Laura finally turned around quickly, her hair smashing in her face. "I miss mother," she said, her voice hoarse. "You mean, in the future?" He was trying to look like he gets it, but is actually really trying really hard to understand.

Laura managed to smile. "Yes silly, walk with me now, will you?" Before he could answer, she had wrapped her fingers around his. Squeezing each other's palms, they started walking hand-in-hand.

She wants to go back so much. She wants to ride a car. She wants to watch TV. She even wanted to go to school now, which made her think of Raini. But what was keeping her strong so she wouldn't break in to pieces?

The boy next to her, his heart pounding wildly as he stared in to her eyes.

A/N--Aww the last part :D♥

:D <-- looks like the a mouth with lipstick on it.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chap!
