The Reporter- An R5/ Ross Lynch Fanfiction

Chapter 17- I Promise

Lilly's POV

I woke up in Ross's arms and my one hand holding Jake's.
I tried to move but I was trapped between Ross and Jake.
"Ross, Jake, let me get up on pleaseee," I whined but Ross and Jake just scooted closer to me.
"If you don't let me leave I'm not speaking to either of you," I said.
That shut them both up and they let me go.
I went into the bathroom, did my business and walked downstairs.
Rocky was sitting by the counter.
I went up to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
"Morning Roc," I said.
"Morning my Lilly," he replied.
"Have you planned anything with Alexa yet?" I asked.
"Not yet," Rocky said.
"I told you she'd come back," I said.
"And you were right. As always," Rocky said turning in his chair and squeezing my hands.
"I know," I said smiling.
"You little-," he started.
"I'm gonna go make food so love you Rocky," I said laughing, kissing his cheek, and walking to the pantry.
Shit. I couldn't reach the cereal. It was on the very top shelf.
"Rocky I need you!" I yelled.
Rocky came into the pantry.
"Yes," he said.
"I can't reach the cereal. Can you lift me up?" I asked.
"Sure Lilly," he said laughing.
"What?" I asked.
"You're so short I love it," he said smiling.
"Haha very funny now help me," I said.
He lifted me onto his back and I grabbed the cereal.
"Thank you Roc," I said.
"Anything for my Lilly," he replied.
He then carried me back into the kitchen and set me on a chair.
I poured my cereal and started eating.
"Food is so good," I said to Rocky.
"Agreed. Though not that you eat much of it. You're freakin 75 pounds!" Rocky exclaimed.
"Actually I'm 105 pounds to be exact," I replied.
"You're still tiny," he said.
"That's what semi-dieting and working out does," I said.
"Yeah yeah. So anyway, what are you planning to do today?" Rocky asked.
"I'm not sure. You?" I asked.
"I don't know either," he replied.
"Oo I should go to a gym. Rocky where is the nearest gym?" I asked.
"About 10 minutes from here. I'll go with you. I like having a workout buddy," he said putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Okay then we will go. Meet down here in 5 minutes," I said and then I walked upstairs.
I changed into black Nike shorts, a pink cut off shirt, a black Nike sports bra, and my black nike tennis shoes.
"Babe where you going?" Ross mumbled turning onto his other side on the bed.
"I'm going to the gym with Rocky. Be back in an hour. Bye love you," I said grabbing my phone and ear-buds and going downstairs.
"Ready Lilly?" Rocky asked as I got to the bottom of the stairs.
He was wearing white gym shorts, a white tank top which was bound to be taken off, and black tennis shoes.
"Yep let's go," I said.
We got into Rocky's car and started the short drive.

"You ready?" I asked Rocky as we set our stuff down.
"As ready as I'll ever be," he replied.

"Dude how did you just do all that and you're not tired?" Rocky asked.
"Practice Rocky. Practice," I said.
"My goal is to be in shape like you," Rocky said patting my shoulder.
"And my goal is to grow as tall as you," I said joking.
"We should probably get back. It's been 2 hours. Ross will be worried you know that. Probably thinks we 'ran off together' or something," he said and we both laughed.

Ross's POV

Lilly and Rocky had to have ran off together.
NO Ross don't think like that.
That couldn't have happened.
God where are they.
I'm gonna call them.
I started to open my contacts but then Lilly and Rocky came through the door laughing.
"No dude you're in better shape," Rocky said.
"Just cuz I'm short doesn't mean I'm in better shape," Lilly said.
"Just cuz I'm tall doesn't mean I'm in better shape," Rocky said.
"Fine. We're both fat and out of shape. HAPPY now," Lilly said.
"No cuz you're in better shape," Rocky said.
"Whatever," Lilly said.
"Don't deny it you know you are in the best shape!" Rocky yelled running upstairs.
Lilly walked up to me and hugged he.
"Hey baby," she said looking up at me.
"Hey love. How was working out?" I asked.
"Good. But now I just wanna lay on the couch and cuddle with you all day," she said.
"Shower first. You stink!" I said kissing her forehead.
"Ugh Babyyyyy! I don't wanna.....but I will just for you," she said turning around and starting to walk away.
I slapped her ass as she walked out.
"Ow Ross that hurt!" She yelled holding her ass.
"Come here," I said pulling her into a hug and placing my hands gently on her ass.
"I'm sorry I forgot. FUCKING periods ya know," I said.
"You have no idea," she said pulling her lips onto mine.
"Now go shower. I'll wait down here," I said stroking her hair and letting her go.
She walked upstairs and I sat on the couch.

Lilly's POV

I walked upstairs and started my shower. After I finished I let my hair air dry and I didn't bother putting on makeup. I threw on some black leggings, an R5 t-shirt and some gray fuzzy socks. Then I walked downstairs.
"Babeeeee!" I groaned as I laid my head down on Ross's lap.
"Yes love?" He replied stroking my hair.
"I love you," I said.
He smiled.
"You know I love you more," he said kissing my forehead.
"Where'd everyone go?" I asked.
"Well Rocky showered then left to meet up with Alexa, Riker went to Vanni's of course he's been there for a few days, Rydel is still at Ellington's, and Jake went to the mall.
"Awe I should've went with him," I said.
"He said he wasn't going to bother asking because you were busy. He'll be back soon," he said.
"But Ross, he's leaving in 5 days. That's not enough time," I said as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Fine baby. I'll call an uber and you can go to the mall and meet up with Jake. I'm gonna stay here," he said taking his phone out.
"Wait let's see if he's still there," I said starting to text Jake.

Convo:
L- you still @ the mall?
J- riding home in uber. Be home in 5 minutes
L- okay cu soon love you
J- love you too.
*end*

"He's on his way back so I'll just lay back down with you," I said hugging Ross.
"You're so touchy," Ross said laughing.
"God I'm sorry. Geez Ross. Do you not like me or something?" I said.
He laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"Baby you're all wrong, I'm just saying you are more touchy than usual. I never said I hated it. I just hate it because I can't escalate it right now with your period," he said stroking my arm.
"Sorry," I said as I sat on Ross's lap straddling him and hugging his shoulders.
"This is comfortable," I mumbled into his shoulder.
He held his arms around my waist.
"So I think we are gonna have a huge party with everyone in like 3 days. Just giving you a heads up. Sound good?" He asked.
"Yep. Should be fun," I mumbled into his shoulder.
"You need to sleep. Go to sleep," Ross said as he laid on his back with my on top of him with my head on his chest.
I dosed off as my head hit Ross's chest.

"Lils wake up," I heard Jake whisper.
"Jake what time is it?" I asked.
"Midnight. I came down here to get a snack and I see you're laying here all alone. Ross must've went upstairs into his room," he said.
"Can I just go up with you then?" I asked.
"Yes babe," he said.
"Carry me?" I asked.
He chuckled and I got onto his back and he walked us upstairs into my room.
He set me down on my bed and he laid on his cot next to me.
"I'm gonna miss you so much," he said stroking my cheek.
"I'll be home in 2 months," I said trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Your enthusiasm isn't working babe. You know I'm gonna miss you no matter what. Just promise me you'll come back. I don't wanna lose my best friend," Jake said getting chocked up.
"Jake, you could never lose me. I promise, I will come back. I will come back," I said.
He smiled and I kissed his cheek.
"Goodnight Lils," Jake said.
"Night Jake," I said.
