"Ross!" ally yelled as she came through my window. i turned to see her in tears.

"what happened?" i asked my 14 year old best friend. she ran over to me and started sobbing.

"my mom and dad left.." i pulled her into a tight hug. ally's parents were so awesome and supportive. they loved me and treated me like their son. they were my second family.

"what do you mean?" i asked on the verge of tears.

"they told Ethan to take care of me. they're gone Ross.." (her parents leave and explore the world together and come home once every few months and this was the first time they left) i held my best friend close.

"don't worry. everything will be okay.." i reassured her. i whipped away her tears and made her feel better. we walked downstairs and into the backyard and sat on the hammock. the sun was blinding us and we were starring at the grass as we swung back and forth.

"Ross?" ally asked as she looked up at me squinting. i looked at her.

"yeah ally?"

"promise that you'll always be my best friend? that we'll never change? that you'll never leave?"

"i promise ally.." we interlocked fingers.

"i need you.." she whispered.

present day

~~~~~~

it's been a few months since the trial. me and ally are pretty close again. i told her i don't like her anymore and she believes me, even though its a total lie. after thinking back to a few years ago i realized that even though i HATE nick, i need to be there for ally. she really does need me. her and nick haven't gone anywhere. thank. God.

"hey, hey, heeeeyyy." ally sang as she climbed through my window.

"it's about damn time you're ready!" i jokingly yelled. i grabbed her wrist and dragged her downstairs.

"we're leaving guys!!" i yelled throughout the house. "you coming riker?" i asked as i walked by the living room, still holding onto ally's wrist.

"yeeeeep." he said as he got up.

within 15 minutes we were at the Austin and Ally set. ally always comes here with me unless she has school and Riker usually comes too when he has nothing to do.

we walked into my dressing room and ally and i both raced to the spinning chair that is there. she one and spun the chair around with her arms in the air, slouching into the chair. she had her heels dragging on the floor as she laughed. i laughed along with her.

"come on giggles, help me run lines." i said as i threw her a script. giggles is one of the many nicknames i have for my best friend.

she sat up straight. "whoom i playin'?"

"ally." she nodded and i sat on the couch and watched riker get a bottle of water. he sat across from me and watched as we ran lines.

"Ross Lynch to main set, Ross Lynch to main to set." the intercom said. i stood up. i grabbed ally's hand and dragged her through set.

"can't i stay with Riker???" she whined.

"why??" i asked a little hurt that she doesn't want to watch me.

"Ross, you know that Laura doesn't like me." i totally forgot about that.

"yes she does. it was just that one time..." i said referring to my 16th birthday party. Laura was there and so was ally, obviously, and Laura got pissed at ally because she thought i like ally better because i sat next to ally and not her, which is true. i DO like ally better. shes my best friend, but yeah then Laura dumped Gatorade on her or something.

"Ross-" she was cut off my Laura.

"Hey Ross, Hey Alex."

"its Ally." ally replied through her teeth.

"sorry Talia." Laura walked away.

"how is that even CLOSE to my name?!" she said angrily.

"she's just trying ti get you mad. she's known you for years.. she knows your name.."

"ugh. Ross I'll see you in a little bit I'm gunna go hang with Riker." i nodded and then saw ally walk towards my dressing room.

YOUR POV

~~~~~~~

me and riker were just chillin in Ross' dressing room for awhile. "so..who are you gunna choose?" Riker asked.

i turned to my blonde best friend. "what?" i asked confused.

"well..you forgave nick and its obvious you still like each other and it's SO obvious that Ross still likes you." i kind of blushed. "oh my God you like Ross!!" riker shouted while pointing at me with a dropped jaw.

"no i don't!" i argued while putting his hand down. "and i will NEVER date nick again. that's a promise."

"so you choose Ross??"

"no, i choose none of them. me and nick are done and me and Ross are JUST FRIENDS!! why does everyone think there's something going on between us?!"

"because there is!! i see the way you two look at each other and honey, guys don't cover their walls in picture of him and a girl together because they're just friends." riker said jokingly with a fake lisp and he emphasized the just friends part.

"Riker, me and Ross aren't gunna be those best friends who end up falling in love.."

"you've been saying that for yeeeaaarrrssss....don't you think it's time to give in?? admit that you like each other??"

"no Riker, it's not time for me to admit that i like Ross!" i screamed as i stood up, immediately regretting what i just said. riker jumped up with a huge smile.

"YOU DO LIKE RO-" he screamed while jumping but i covered his mouth.

"shhh and this is OUR secret..if you tell anyone then I'll....paint your nails..." i threatened with a smile.
