The Reporter- An R5/ Ross Lynch Fanfiction

Chapter 10- News

                                 Lilly's POV

    I woke up to my phone buzzing.
I grabbed it quietly. It was Jake.

(Text convo)
J: So what ru gonna do?
L: I don't know yet.
J: Lil for his sake you need to figure this out.
L: I know. I feel so bad that I'm hurting him.
J: God I wish I was there to hug you💗
L: I miss you so much😔💔 I haven't gone this long without you.
J: I'll visit soon okay babe💝 I got to go but I love you and miss you😘
L: Bye Jake. Love you too❤️
         *end of convo*

    I heard a small gasp over my shoulder.
Ross.
"Ross. It's not what it looks like," I said.
He just shook his head and ran out into his room.
I followed him.
"Ross open the door," I said from the other side of the locked door.

                             Ross's POV

    I pounded my head again the wall.
Why.
Why.
Why.
Why am I so hurt?
That's a dumb question I know why.
She so perfect.
I like her.
She's something I can't get out of my head.
It hurts.
So.
Bad.
I laid down onto my bed and started to cry into my pillow.
I then heard someone, I think Lilly, sigh and slide down the door.
"Ross, please," she whispered.
I crawled to the door and unlocked it. Then leaned my back against my bed.
She was starting to tear up.
I looked at her sincerely.
"Sorry. *sniff* I just *sniff* can't stand when guys cry. *sniff* it hurts me," she said.
"Ross he's my best friend," she said.
"What?" I replied.
"The guy I was texting. He's my best friend. Jake is his name. We've been best friends since we were 4 in Florida and we both planned to move to New York. We did. We see eachother almost every day. Ross he's my best friend. I would not be as happy as I am today if it weren't for him. He supports me through everything. We're really close that's all. He'd take a bullet for me and I'd take a bullet for him," she said.
God now I feel like a dick.
"I'm sorry. I just like you a lot," I said.
"And I like you too...but we can't be together right now. Soon like I said. Soon," she said.
I pulled her onto my lap and but her head on my chest.
"How are you so good at messing with my head," I mumbled.
She smiled.
"You know I would be with you if I was here longer Ross," she whispered.
I hugged her tighter.
"I wish you were," I said.
I did wish she could stay.
I know she can't.
I'm not going to make her give up her job she loves.
I just wish she could stay.
Her phone started buzzing.
"It's my boss," she said and then answered it.

Lilly's POV

(Phone call- S: Steve L: Lilly)
L: Hey Steve what's up?
S: Hey Lilly. How's it going?
L: Good. Now what's up?
S: Well the board would like to extend your time with R5 for an extra 3 and a half months to get more in depth with them. Would you like to except?
L: That sounds great!
S: Good luck Lilly.
L: Thanks. See ya
S: Bye
(End of convo)

"What'd he need?" He asked.
"Well I have some news," I started.
"What is it?" He asked concerned.
"Well...he told me that...they're extending the time to an extra 3 1/2 months to get a better story!" I said.
"Oh my god yes! So that mean we can give us shot?" He asked.
"I guess we can try. But when I go home we will still be friends. Deal?" I said.
His eyes lit up.
"Deal," he said smiling.
Shit he's adorable.
"Okay I'll be right back. I gotta call Jake and tell him the news," I said getting up.
"Okay. I'll be downstairs," he said.
I walked into my room and FaceTimed Jake.
(FaceTime call)
L: Hey Jake I have news
J: What is it?
L: Well they extended my time here. I'll be here for another 3 and a half months.
J: Oh. Then I'll be visiting a lot.

J: Don't worry babe it'll be fine. I'll visit. Now I'll let you go. I love youuuu

(End of FaceTime Call)
I then went downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Good morning sweetheart," Stormie said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Morning," I replied.
"You're boss called me and said you'll be staying longer! I'm so glad. You've brought so much joy to this family. Especially the boys. They love you. So thank you," she said hugging me tight.
"Awe thank you Stormie. I'm so happy to be here," I said hugging her back.
"The kids are by the pool," she said.
I then walked outside and sat by Rydel on the ground.
"How come your still in pjs girlie?" She asked.
"I was too lazy to change," I laughed.
"Well I think we were gonna go shopping today if you wanted to join for your story," she said.
"Id love to!" I said.
"Okay but first your gotta change your outfit. We're leaving at 2:30 so be ready then," she said.
I went upstairs and took a quick shower. I then started blow drying my hair and when that was done I did my makeup. I decided to wear a white crop top and dark denim high waisted shorts with my lavender converse.
I grabbed my purse and put my phone, cash, my credit cards, a small notebook and a pen. I walked downstairs and sat on the love seat with Rydel.
"Ohhh mamma take a picture of Lilly and I pleaseee," Rydel asked her mom as she walked by.
"Okay give me your phone," Stormie said and grabbed Rydel's phone.
"Okay now smile pretty my pretty girls!" She said and snapped a few pics.
"Cuteeee!!" Rydel sang as she typed a caption and put it on insta and twitter.
I decided I would look at it later.
"Boys are coming right?" I asked.
"Yeah I just don't know where they are," she stated.
"My guess would either be one of their rooms playing video games or in the practice room," I said.
She nodded and grabbed my hand and brought me with to look for them.
We first checked Ryland's room because it was the first door, No one. Then Ross's room, No one. We got Rocky's room and opened the door and it was pitch black. But knowing Rydel none of that phases her so she marched right in. Then all of a sudden the door slammed behind us and Rydel and I were thrown over one of the guys shoulders.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Rydel and I said in sync.
We both tried to figure out which brother it was or if it was Ellington.
I ran my fingers through the hair. Yep definitely Ross.
"Ross put me down," I whined.
"You figured that out fast," he said.
"Rydel who do you have?" I asked.
"Just Rocky. I was hopping it was Ellington but he's with his mom in Europe for another 2 weeks," she said with a sad face.
"Just Rocky? Ouch that hurt sis," Rocky said.
"Hey don't worry I still love you but I want Ellington," she said.
"CAN SOMEONE TURN ON THE GOD DAMN LIGHT?" Rydel yelled.
The light switched on.
"Can you put me down now?" I asked Ross.
"Will you go on another date with me soon?" He asked.
"Maybe..." I said teasing.
"Lils..." he said.
"Fine yes now put me down," I said laughing. He put me down and then wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Looks like we got some love birds," Riker said with a smirk.
I blushed then playfully punched him in the arm.
"Okay are we ready to go shopping?!" Rydel said enthusiastically.
We all nodded. Then we went into the driveway and got in the van.
I sat in between Ross and Riker in the back.
"Hey Lilly, what have you seen since you've been in Cali?" Riker asked.
"Um I saw the restaurants that you guys have taken me too and I walked along a beach. So not much," I said.
"Well we will have to change that before you go," he smiled.
After about 10 minutes we parked in the parking ramp.
"Where to first?" I asked Rydel.
"Well I wanna hit up Victoria's Secret," she said gesturing to the lit up sign when we walked into the mall.
"You go in there we'll wait out here," Rocky said.
Rydel and I proceeded into the store.
"YES 7 for $27.50!" I said.
I grabbed 4 thongs and three no-shows, as did Rydel.
"I'm gonna do the 2 for $45 on bras I think," I said.
"Same!" She said smiling.
I chose a solid black push up bra with black lace on the top and sides and a solid pink push up bra.
"Oh Rydel I have a question for the article. What store do you shop at the most?" I aske staking out my notepad.
"Probably here. VS and Pink," she said.
I scribbled down notes.
"I'm ready you?" Rydel asked me.
I nodded and we both checked out.
And a grand total of $75 was spent here.
We walked out of the store and met with the guys.
"Took you long enough," Ross mumbled as he took my hand.
I smiled.
"Okay I want to go to American Eagle," I said.
"Okayyy!" Rydel sang.
We walked into the store and I immediately picked out 3 pairs of jeans.
25% off on jeans.
Yes!
After I picked out the jeans I paid for them.
It was $50.
Thank god my job pays well.
After everyone got what they wanted we walked out of the store.
"Let's go to Hollister!" Rocky said.
We then all walked to Hollister.
I walked up to Rocky.
"So you'd say Hollister is your favorite store?" I asked.
"Yes defiantly," he replied.
I wrote that down.
Ross then pulled me back by him.
"Hey...STAYYYYYYYYYY WITHHHHH MEEEE!" He sang/whispered into my ear.
"Okay," I said and smiled.
He took my hand and we walked throughout the store.
"Ross you can go shop around I'm fine," I said.
"But I wanna stay with youuuu," he whined.
"Ross...."
"Lilly..."
"Fine I will stay with you but that means I'm asking you questions. I gotta still work," I said.
"Okay. Hey guys! Lilly and I will be outside waiting for you!" Ross yelled and we took a seat on a bench outside the store.
"Okay what your favorite store to shop at?" I asked.
"I don't really like shopping but my favorite store would probably be either Hollister or Abercrombie," he said.
I wrote something down.
"Wait wait wait. Now it's my turn to ask some questions," I said with a smirk.

Ross's POV

"Oh god," she said.
I laughed.
"So first question. Are you currently in a relationship?" I asked.
"I am not," she said with a smirk.
"When was your last relationship and how long did it last?" I asked.
"It was about 2 years ago and it lasted for....wow um it lasted for maybe...4 years," she replied.
"God damn. What happened?" I asked.
"Well I broke up with him after our first year of college. It was a long distance relationship and I couldn't handle it anymore. So we went our separate ways and we are both happy. I've seen him in New York sometimes when he's there on business," I said.
"Oh. I'm sorry about that. Well not too sorry because if you would've stayed with him you wouldn't be working the job you have today then we wouldn't have met and then I wouldn't have this huge ass crush on you and my life would suck ass," I blurted out.
"Ross," she said taking my hand and smiling.
"You are so perfect. How is this possible?" She asked while running her fingers through my hair.
"I'm no where near as perfect as you are Lils," I said kissing her forehead.

So there we sat.
Engulfing into each others perfectness.
And at that moment I knew for sure.

I was in love with Lilly Jones.
