Age Is Overrated-Ross Lynch/r5

Chapter 39

Natalie's POV

"Oh my god." I say.

"What does it say?" Rydel asks.

"I'm not pregnant!" I say excitedly.

"Thank god! I don't think that would've ended well." She says hugging me.

"Now where am I going to throw this away at? No one can know about it."

"I'll go take it to the trash can outside. I'll even burry it a little so it won't be on top."

"That's Del, you're the best!"

"Anytime."

I go back to Ross' room. He's asleep. I crawl back into his bed and kiss his cheek. I finish watching the movie.

When the movie's done, Ross wakes up.

"How long was I asleep for?" He asks stretching.

"About a half hour."

"Oh. What do you want to watch next?"

"I don't care."

Ross puts in another movie.

A couple minutes later Riker runs into the room.

"Guys, I think you should see this." He says showing us a phone.

Its an article. The headline shocks me.

"Is Ross Lynch's Girlfriend Cheating on him?"

Ross looks terrified.

Under the title, there's a picture of me at Alex's house. We're standing at his front door hugging.

The article wasn't that long. But it was enough that Ross got upset.

"Last week, Natalie was spotted hugging another guy at his house when she was visiting her family in Ohio. She was seen walking into an unknown boy's house and not leaving until the next day."

I looked at Ross who looks like he's about to cry.

"That's Alex." He says. "You were just visiting him, I understand why you would hug him. I know you would never cheat on me."

I wish he was right.

"Ross. I should probably tell you what happened"

"Oh my gosh, you did cheat on me?" He gets angry.

"Yes. I'm so sorry. But I saw you with Michelle and went to go see him when I got back to Ohio and-"

"You guys-"

I didn't let him finish. "Yes. We did."

"Why?"

"I was upset and hurt. Trust me, if I could take it back, I would." I say crying.

"I get it. You thought that I was cheating on you, so it's understandable."

He's surprisingly okay with this.

I completely forgot that Riker was in the room until he cleared his throat.

"Um, how are you going to explain this to everyone else?" He asks me.

"I'll tell them the truth. Rydel already knows. I had to tell someone." I say.

"Oh, okay. You should tell them soon though so they don't see it online first."

"I'll tell them at dinner."

"Okay." Riker says leaving the room.

"Are you okay?" I ask Ross.

"Yeah. Wanna finish watching the movie?"

"Yep!"

We lay back in bed. He puts his arm around me.

I'm relieved that he understands an he's not mad.

Now I have to tell the rest of the family.
