Laura had left the room. The room was silent, as a michievous breeze hit Ross. He was curious about what she was hiding. 

A little snoop around wouldnt hurt right?

He bent down, and opened a drawer. He rattled through her stuff, shuffling. He found her keys with a "dinosaur poop" key chains. ( Dinasaur poop is hard and feels and LOOKS like a rock too!)

He found 2 packs of candy flavored cigarettes, broken red lip stick that was crumpling and looked like it was one hundred years old, and a deck of cards. There we're other things like toothpics, ear phone, pens, and so much random shit.

He went underneath the cabinet, and looked to see a  white tied up bag. He stealthily took it out, and tried untying it, whe the door suddenly slammed open.

"Ross? What the hell are you doing!?" she snatched the bag away that rattled like crazy. 

He stuttered a response that flew into his mind.

"I-I thought it was candy..." Laura stared at him, and bursts into laughter. "What the hell man?" she continued laughing like a crack head. But she suddenly went back into seriousness. "Dont snoop around my stuff like that. Thats rude. And on the first day? You kidding me? Idiot." she put the bag away. He looked at the bag again before she put it away.

"Sorry man."

"Its fine. Lets go hang over there. I ordered pizza." Laura grabbed his hand, and took him to the living room. As they walked through the halls, he felt himself blushing at the fact they we're holding hands. But of course, Laura was oblivious.

He sat at the couch, and she brought in the pizza that had been dropped in the kitchen previously. She opened it furiously, grabbing the pizza and immediately munching on it. He looked at her with the a questioning look.

"What? I'm hungry man. You just gonna sit there staring at me? Take a god damned pizza." she turned on the television (obviously having hdmi tv) she clicked  onto netflix. She threw herself onto the couch. "Okay! Whatchu wanna watch?" she scrolled through horror movies, romance movies, Asian dramas, disney shows, etc.

"You got any Romeo and Juliet?"

"Awh dude gross. Your so lame. Romeo  and Juliet? You kiddin me?" she finished with her first pizza, going onto the next.

"Lets watch some Action? Maybe like avengers or something." she clicked onto one, and the movie had began.

"Laura?"

"Yes."

"What happened to your job and stuff? You barely tutor me or do any therapy appointments.

"I'm on break man. All that stuff starts next week. For now, lets enjoy this movie." she sat in a weird position with her back on Ross' side, her legs up with popcorn on her stomach.

"Let the movie began!"

~~

During the movie, it was clear that Ross had fallen asleep, leaving himself completely defnesless and off guard. Laura looked over at him. "What a loser. sleeping through the movie." she rolled her eyes with a smile. She looked at him, his mouth was slightly open and his blonde hair was a mess. She smiled, getting closer. Their lips we're inches apart.

She could feel his small breaths against her lips, tugging a smile on her face once again. Breathing was the most beautiful song she would ever hear.

It was the sign of life. Signaling life still lurks int he body, future awaiting for that life that could end anytime soon. Thats what amazed her.

She was getting closer.

"Laura."
