Vacation

Vanessa's POV

It's Like 11:30 PM Right Now And We're Pulling Up To The House. "Thanks For A Great Time Tonight, Austin. I Needed It." I Thanked Him Nicely. He Smiled And Turned His Head My Way. "Anything For You Ness." He Said Sincerely. I Just Stared back for A Few Seconds Smiling Until His Face Wasn't.. Him Anymore.

"Riker?" I Asked With Wide Eyes. "What?" He Asked Confused. "W-What Are You Doing Here?" I Asked With A scrunched Up Face. "What? Vanessa, Did You Just Say Riker?" He Asked. His Face Started Turning Back To austin's. I Covered My Mouth. Oh My God,Im Hallucinating.

"I'm sorry." I Breathed Out. "Can I ask you Something?" He asked Seriously. "S-Sure." I Said Trying To Cope With What Just Happened. "Is There Something Going On Between You And Riker?" He asked. I Could See Him Staring At Me From The Corner Of my Eye.

"No." I Answered Quickly. He Looked Hesitant About Something Before Nodding. "So If I .." He Started. I Sat There Looking Straight Until Face Was Turned And Someone's Lips Were On Mines. I Just Sat There Wide Eyed. After A Few Hesitant Seconds I Slowly Kissed Him back.

He Slowly Pulled Away From me. And I Looked At Him Before A smile Began To Form. "It'd Be Okay?" He Said Finishing His Previous Sentence. I Licked My Lips And slowly Nodded. He Grinned Charmingly. I Chuckled Looking Down At My Lap. "I .. I like You Vanessa. If You Haven't Noticed, But Maybe You Didnt. I mean It Was Obvious, I Just.. Maybe You Dont Like Me Like Th-" I Leaned Over Towards Him connecting Our Lips Again.

Then Pulled Back once I Felt Him Kiss Back. "I like You Too, Okay?" I Said Chuckling. He Nodded And Trailed Off. "Sooo .." "Sooo .." I Copied. "Will You Be My .. Uhm, Girlfriend?" He Asked Scratching The Back Of His Neck. I Smiled And Tilted My Head.

"Of Course, Id Love To." I Accepted And Held His Hand. He Rose His Eyebrows. "Huh, That Was Easier Than Expected." He Said Bluntly.

I Chuckled Shaking My Head. "No, You Were Totally nervous." I Played Around. "Just Get Inside, Vanessa." He Said Smiling. I Playfully Rolled My Eyes Unbuckling My Seatbelt. I Opened The Door And Got Out. "Goodbye, Austin." I Said Pecking His Lips Once Before Closing The Car Door.

I Held My Clutch As I Walked To The Door Smiling Sweetly. I Placed My Key I'm The Keyhole And Unlocked The Door. I Walked In Smiling Like A Doof. As I shut The Door I Realized How Silent It Was. I Locked The Door And Roamed Around For A While. I Shrugged And Wandered Off into The Kitchen, Besides It's Almost 12:00 Everyone's Probably Sleeping.

I Went To The Fridge And Grabbed A Juice Box. I Sat Up On A Stool And Drank silently Until My Phone Vibrated. I Set The Juice Box Down Pulling The Phone Out Of My Jacket Pocket.

Unknown: One Relationship after Another .. Destroyed. #Winning

I furrowed My Eyebrows. "Okay.." I Said To Myself Before Throwing My Juice Box Away. I Headed To My Room When I got Bumped Into. I Looked At The Person seeing Ross. "Sorry." He Mumbled Walking Away. I Brushed It Off Going To My Meant Destination.

I Hopped On My Bed And That Was It, I was Out For The night.

-Next Morning-

Laura's POV

I Woke Up To Stormie Announcing For Everyone To Come Downstairs. I groaned And Walked To My Mirror. I Look a Mess, Somewhat Smeared Mascara but Not Much. I Was Just In An I Dont Care Mood I Guess.

I Walked Out The Room And Walked Down The Stairs As Everyone Else Was Already Down There. I Avoided Stares From Everyone And Sat Down Next to Rocky. "Okay, Are You All Ready?" Stormie Asked Excitedly. She Recieved Grumbles From Everyone.

"Pack your Bags, We're Going To Aruba!" She Cheered. My Eyes Widened And I Plastered A fake Smile On My Face. I Should Be Happy About It I Guess, I Just rather Have A Relationship With Someone While In A Beautiful Place Like Aruba. But.. It's My Fault.

"Laura?" Rocky Said Nudging Me. I Turned My Head Towards Him Looking Blankly. "Yeah?" I Asked. "You Okay?" He Asked Furrowing His eyebrows. "Yeah." I Lied Getting Up Walking back Upstairs. "Laur." I Heard Vanessa call.

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. "Laura." She Said Making Me Turn Before Entering My Room. "What's Up?" I asked Bluntly. "You're Not Excited For Aruba?" She Asked Looking At Me Like I Had Three Heads. I Shrugged. "I Mean, I guess. Why?" I Asked Itching My Head. "You Dont Seem.. Excited." She said seriously.

"I am, I Definitely Am. Just Tired Still. I'm Gonna Take A Shower, But Um ..I'll talk to you Later I Guess." I Said Awkwardly Walking In My Room. She Grabbed My Arm Pulling Me Back. "I've Known you Your Whole Life, I Know When You're Lying. Spill It." She Ordered Folding Her Arms.

"You Know, How About You Mind It." I Said Harshly. "I'm Trying To Help you." "Well Dont." I Ordered. "Laura, You Are My Little Sister It's My Job To Help You!" She Basically Repeated. "Vanessa , Think about It! You're Basically Trying To Force Me to confide In You About Something I'm Not Ready To say! So Who Are You Helping?" I Asked Trying To Make A Point.

She looked Hurt By My Words And Shook Her Head. "Fine, If You hate It So much Then.. Maybe I'll just Stay Out Of Your business For Good." She Said Through Gritted Teeth. I Sighed. "Vanes-" "No, You Made Your Point. It's Clear That I'm A Little To Nosy In Your Book." She Said Walking Away.

She Knows I Didn't Mean It Like That! And She Can't Lie And Say she Wasn't Trying To Force Me To Say What I Didn't Want To. I Grabbed Some Clothes And A Towel and Stormed Out The room To The Bathroom.

I Walked Out So Close To Bumping Into Ross Which I'm Glad Didn't Happened, Would've Been Awkward.

Ross' POV

After Almost Bumping into Laura I Headed To My Room. I Hope I Didn't Break Her, Cause That Wasn't My Intention. I Just Can't Be With Someone Who Doesn't Trust Me.

I Was Laying On My Back For Like An Hour When I Overheard Laura Talking I Guess. I Got Up And Walked To Her Door Which Was Closed.

"We Can't Go On Like This, I-I'm Not Good For You." Ryland Said. Wait, Ryland? I Furrowed My Eyebrows And Leaned Closer To The Door. "Im A Big Girl, I Can Make My Own Decisions. And I'm Deciding You." Laura Spoke Up.

My Eyes Widened, What The Hell Did I Miss? "Jia, No.. I Have A Past." "Everyone Does!" She Argued. But ..Jia?

Ryland : Not A Good One .
Laura : Maybe I Dont Care!
Ryland : You Should.
Laura: I Dont .
Ryland : But You Should.
Laura : Why Are You Trying So Hard To Change My Feelings For You?

Ryland : Because Being With Me is Only Gonna Hurt You.

Laura : Then Maybe I Need To Be Hurt To Love.

Laura's POV

Following The Script We Both Started To Lean In Then quickly Pulled Away. "Alright Thats Enough, No need To Continue." I Said Chuckling. He Nodded Quickly In agreement. "You're Like My Sister I Couldn't Kiss You. Plus, You're My Bro's Girl." He Said Snickering.

I Gulped Before Thinking Of How To Address That. "His Uh.. His Girl?" I Asked Like I was An Idiot. "Yeah, Thats Kinda What Someone Refers Another Dude's Girlfriend As." He Said Raising His eyebrows In A Confused Manner.

Just Like.. Ross. I Shook The Thought Out Of My Head. "Right . But Yeah, Thanks for Helping Me Practice." I Said Tossing The Script On My Bed. "No Problem, When's Your Audition?" He Asked Heading To The Door.

I Shrugged Grabbing The Script Again. "Uh .. it's Like In 3 Weeks." I Said Examining The Date. "Well, You'll Nail It. You're An Amazing Actress Jia." He Joked Walking Out. I Playfully Rolled My Eyes Smiling.

I Sat On The Bed Looking Down At The Few Lines On The Paper, But It's just An audition so. ".. Hey." Ross Said Awkwardly As He a Walked In. I Lifted My Head Acknowledging His Entrance.

I Tried To smile Nicely To Avoid awkwardness. "Hey ." I Said The Exact Opposite Of My Intentions, Awkwardly. "I Um .. What Was Ryland Doing In here?" He Asked Curiously. I Dont Know Why. "Helping Me Practice Some Lines." I Shrugged.

He Rose His eyebrows Sitting Across From Me In My Beanbag Chair. "Lines?" He Asked. I Nodded Like It Was No Big Deal. But Ever Since Austin&Ally Ended Ive Felt Like I needed To Land A New Role.

"Lines For What? A Commercial.. Show.. Movie. An Extra." He Listed Receiving A Strange Look From Me. "It's A Movie." I Answered Chuckling. "a Movie? Wow, Thats Great." He Said Sucking His Lips In. I Nodded And He Grabbed The Script Out Of My Hands.

"Gee, Thanks For Asking." I said sarcastically. He Rolled His Eyes Examining The Script. "So.. There Are Guys In this Movie?" He Asked Dumbly. I Laughed A Little At The Question. "Usually Are." I answered.

"But..This Isn't The Lead Role Right? Just A character Who's A Part Of Someone's Love Story.. Like Their Frie-" "It's The Lead Role, Ross." I Said cutting Him Off. He Looked Taken Back. "Oh." He Said With His Voice Going Up An Octave.

"Let Me Help You Practice." He Urged. "Ross, No." I Said Rolling My Eyes. "You Need To Rehearse Laura." He Pointed Out. "Theres A Kiss And We Can't-" "Let Me Help You Practice." He Ordered. I Groaned Quietly And Agreed. "Fine, But Just This Once I Guess." I Said Dismissing The Debate I Was So Obviously Gonna Lose.

He Smirked To Himself But Quickly Wiped It Off. "You're Putting Yourself In Danger." He Began, And He Actually Seemed Like The Character Ronnie .. Haha.
