Mad?

Vanessa's POV

"..Awkward." Ratliff Said As Ross Darted Out The Room After Laura. I Hadn't Said A Word.. Just Sitting Silently Beside Stormie. "Leaving Huh?" I Asked With My Obvious Fake Smile As I Faced Riker. He Looked At Me Nervously And Slightly Frightened At My Actions.

"Uh .. Vanessa. Can I talk To You Out In The Hall?" he Asked Scratching The Back Of His Neck. I Smiled And Went As If Nothing Was Wrong. "You Can Say Whatever You Have To say Right Here, Go Ahead." I Said Narrowing My Eyes But Keeping My Fake Smile Plastered On My Face.

"You're Mad." He Said Certain. I Laughed A Cold Laugh. "I'm Not Mad." I said Convincing Absolutely Nobody. "You Are I can See It." He Said Being Hesitant To Come By Me. "Ha, Riker's Scared." Rocky Whispered. I Shot Him A Death Glare And After He Gulped He Shut right Up.

"I Was Going To tell You I swear." He pleaded . "uh Huh." I Said Unconvinced. "Nessa." He Said With Pleading Eyes. I Sighed. "What?" I Asked In My Regular Tone. "Come Out In The Hall." He Said Closing His Eyes. I Secretly Rolled My Eyes But Got Up And Grabbed His Hand Pulling Him Out In The Hall.

He Stood There For A While Before He Finally Spoke. "I'm Sorry." He Said For The 1000th Time. I Chuckled. "I'm Not Mad ." I Said Honestly This Time. "Y-You're Not?" He Asked Surprised. "You Have To Leave .. I'm Not That Much Of A Petty Person Riker." I Said Playfully Rolling My Eyes. He Smiled But It Turned Into A Frown. "You Won't Miss me?" He Asked As He Poked His Bottom Lip Out. "I Dont Know, We'll Reunite Again Next Year." I Joked.

He Chuckled Then Got Serious. "That Better Be A Joke." he Said Squinting His Eyes. "Absolutely." I Said Kissing Him Softly. He Smiled And Grabbed My Hand. "We're Forever Right?" He Asked. "I Hope So." I Said Honestly. How long Is Forever Anyways? Not As Long As Anyone Hopes These Days.

"We'll Always Be Forever, I Promise." He Said Kissing The Top of My head.

Ross's POV

"So I Hope You Know Your Way Around Denver." I Joked. We Stepped In The Elevator. "Of Course I Do." She Said Smiling. "Where You Wanna Go?" She Asked. This Is About To Be Really Childish. "The Park." I Said With A Smirk.

She Smirked And nodded Her Head. "Thats What's Up." she Said Mocking The Way I Said It In One Of Our Interviews. "I Dont Talk Like That.'' I Defended. She Giggled And Rolled Her Eyes As We Walked . "I Know Baby." She Said As She Tightened Her Grip On My Hand.

"So When Can I See You Again?" I Asked With A Sigh. "Well .. I Dont Know, We're In Denver .. You Guys Are In California." She Said Biting Her Lip Nervously. "What's Wrong?" I Asked Since She Stopped Walking. "I Dont Want You To.." She Started But Tears Ran Down Her Cheeks Quickly.

"Hey." I Said Cupping Her Face And Wiping The Tears Away With My Thumbs. "You Dont Want Me To What?" I Asked Quietly. "Forget Us, Get new Girlfriends." She Choked Out. I Sighed. "You Really Think I'll Forget You?" I Asked Getting A Bit Irritated And Confused. "Ross It's Not That Hard To Picture Anymore." She Said Seriously.

"Laura, I Messed Up I Know! But Do You Have To Remind Me Every Hour Of The Day?" I Asked Defensively. She Looked At Me Shocked And Shook Her Head As She Mumbled Something. "What?" I Asked Having It Come Out Harshly By Accident. "You Dont Get It." She Said Raising Her Voice.

"You're Gonna Forever Hold On To The Fact That We Made A Mistake, I Understand Perfectly Fine Laura." I Said In My Dominant Tone. "No ." She Snapped. "Then What Is It?" I Asked Losing My Patience Quickly. "Did You Ever Stop To Think That The Reason I'm Constantly Mentioning It Is Because .. Maybe I'm Scared That It's Gonna happen again?" She Snapped At Me As The Tears Threatened Her Eyes.

I Softened A Little As She Said That. But Still .. She Doesn't See Things The Way I Do. "Well Maybe If You Stopped Worrying So Much About The Future You'd Enjoy What's Happening Right Now. God, You Really Would Love To See Me With Someone Else Wouldn't You?" I Asked Harshly. "What The Hell Does That Mean?" She Asked Narrowing Her Eyes.

"It Means That You Talk About Me Forgetting About You And Getting A New Girl so Much Maybe Thats What You want To Happen, Wanna Witness Déjà Vu Huh Laura?" I Asked Angrily.

The Tears that Threatened Her Eyes returned. she Gulped And Pushed Against My Chest Twice. "Why Did I Let This Happen? you Dont Care About Me Ross , You Dont! How About You Just Go ." She Said Shoving Me Again. "Go Find Yourself Another Perfect Girlfriend, Go Forget Me Again Please Do!" She Yelled Shoving Me Twice In a Row.

"Just Go Back to California Ross! Why'd You Find Us Out here In the First Place? I Wish You Would've Just Stayed Away . Go Get Back Together With Carmen! You Liked Being With Her Didn't You? then go!" She Said Shoving Me Again Before Trying To Walk away But I Grabbed Her Arm Pulling Her Back. "Laura What are You Saying?" I asked Through gritted Teeth. "Get Off Of Me." she Mumbled Snatching Her Arm Out Of My Grip.

"I'm Saying Let's End This Ross! I Didn't Die When You Let Me Go The First Time And I'll Be Damned If I Cry Over You this Time. Stay In touch With Vanessa If You want I Dont Care. Just Stay The Hell away from Me Since I'm That Much Of A Pain." She Said Walking Off Quickly. I Watched Her Walk Away Because I Was Shocked. "What Did I just Do?" I Asked Myself. And I Guess You Can Say My Conscience Answered My Question, Cause I Could've Swore I Heard 'You Let Her Go' . .. Damn.
