//EDITED//
OH! and thanks soooo much for 1k reads!!! ily all so fucking much <3

Ross' POV

"THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL..." I hear as I wake up to Calum singing his heart out along to the radio. Why are they even still playing that song on the radio? It's nearly 5 years old.

"Oh hey bud, you fell asleep there" Calum beams.

"Clearly" I mumble. Obviously not in the best of moods. Calum frowned.

"Why you so moody?" He asks.

"Hmm... I don't know? Maybe because we're moving to New York and it's going to take us 2 days to get there, also the fact that I had to leave Laura, and maybe because of this stupid job, don't forget that our family's are back in Colorado, and you woke me up to fucking One- mmph"

"Okay, shut the fuck up" He says after interrupting me by covering my face with his sweater, while driving. "And don't you dare bad mouth One Direction" I roll my eyes and look at the clock.

01:04.

It's past midnight, I was supposed to take my turn driving at midnight. Hopefully Calum forgot though because I hate having to drive at night.

I look over cat him and he shrugs, signalling that it's not his phone that beeped. Then I look down at mine on my lap and frown. Why is Laura still texting me? Plus it's past one am. Why is she still awake? Curiosity got the better of me and I open my iMessage to check what she said.

Listen, you're probably asleep rn or not or whatever because I don't know where you are and you're obviously not going to tell me, and Idk if it's somewhere far or not but someone told me you left and thanks for not telling me btw... thanks for letting someone else tell me but idgaf anymore because you're not what I thought you were and I'm rambling but you deserve to hear how much of an ass you are so
You're an ass
I fucking hate you
2016 bitch award goes to you
And you treat people amazingly and make girls like you then go off and do shit! Thanks for making me believe in love again then breaking me just like that. This feels worse then when I found out Noah cheated on me with my sister, and that's saying a lot. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just making a fool of myself but I lose control when I'm heartbroken so bye and tell Calum I said bye too.

I couldn't help it, I left a tear slip down my cheek. She liked me. I could've had a chance. This message sounds like she's heart broken. I feel awful, but I was putting her in danger by staying with her. This way is just easier for the both of us.

She hates me now, but I don't blame her. I would too. She said this was worse then what happened with Noah... that's crazy... but why would she say it if it wasn't true? I know she doesn't lie. How does she seem so corny, cute and adorable even from this text. But wait... who told her that I left?! A neighbour probably. Has to be.

"Why are you crying?" Calum asks interrupting my thinking. I was thinking so much that I didn't notice that I was nearly full on crying. I don't even bother speaking and just handed my phone to him. He takes it from me despite driving and starts reading it still looking at the road to make sure he doesn't crash.

I heard another sound coming from my phone in Calum's hand but don't take notice since it's probably just a notification from Twitter.

"Erm... Ross?" Calum nervously says.

"Y-yeah?" I ask, stuttering because by the tone in his voice... it sounds bad. This time he didn't say anything and just handed the phone to me and pulls into a gas station because our fuel tank was low. I shrug and look at the... text Laura sent?!

Wait... who's Klaus?

What?! How does she know Klaus?! He's in New York isn't he?!

What if they talked for a while? What if Klaus told Laura some things? No he wouldn't do that he doesn't mention anything. Klaus is really secretive. Shit, what if Laura told Klaus things?! Anyway I'm fucked. Oh god. What if-

"Bro, I know this is a bad time, but can you go in and pay for the gas and get more snacks and food?" Calum asks getting in to the car. Since when did he leave?

"Uh... y-yeah, 2 secs um... yeah okay bye" I stutter getting out of the car with the money.

I can't stop thinking of the Laura and Klaus situation. Klaus is going to kill me. I'm not even supposed to make friends never mind going to school! I'm going to get mmph-

I feel a body hit me, making him drop all his purchased items. Ugh why is everyone interrupting me today.

"Oh I'm so sorry" I apologise, bending down to pick up all of his stuff while he just stands there not helping. Rude. I don't bother to look up and face him though.

"Ross?" That made me stop what I was doing. I know that voice from anywhere. I finally look up to see that face I haven't seen in ages.

"Cameron?"
