Age Is Overrated-Ross Lynch/r5

Chapter 40

Ryland's POV

"Are we going to tell your family today?" Katy says pulling me into a hug.

"Do you want to?"

"Yes! We need too! We've known for a week and haven't told anyone!" She says smiling.

I lean in and kiss her.

"Okay, we'll tell them tonight!" I say smiling.

~~

Ross' POV

I'm really scared about how everyone is going to react. I'm scared that they're going to hate her and make her move out.

That's the last thing I want to happen.

~~

Natalie's POV

Stormie just yelled for us to come eat. I'm freaking out.

Ross grabs my hand and we walk downstairs.

"Everything's going to be alright." He whispers. "Really you're only telling mom, dad, Rocky, Ryland and Katy."

I didn't think of that. I'm really not telling everyone. But I still have to tell his parents that I slept with another guy.

Everyone starts to eat and it's really quiet. Ross and Riker keep looking at me.

"Um-" me and Ryland say at the same time.

"You go first." I say.

"Okay." He says.

Ryland's POV

I stand up and so does Katy.

"So um," I say.

"Please don't tell me Katy's pregnant." Dad says looking at the both of us.

"No!" Katy says loudly. "I'm not pregnant" she's blushing now.

"Then what?" Rocky says.

"We both got an early acceptance to NYU!" I say excited.

"What?! That's amazing!" Mom yells.

Everyone else just congratulates us.

"They let juniors in high school skip senior year to go to college?" Riker says.

"If their grades are good, like Katy and I's." I say proudly.

"We leave at the end of spring break, so we still have a few months here at home." Katy says.

"It seems like a lot of time now, but it's going to fly by. You two will be leaving before you know it." Mom says.

"Yes! I'll finally have my own room!" Ross says excited.

Once everyone settles down and starts eating again, I remember that Natalie was starting to say something when I was going to tell everyone.

"Natalie, what did you have to say when I interrupted you?"

~~

Natalie's POV

Well, here goes nothing.

"Um, so I'm guessing none of you have seen the story about me online." I say.

Everyone looks at each other confused.

"Well let me tell you what happened before you end up reading about it."

Ross puts his hand on my thigh, looks at me, and nods his head saying to 'go on'

"Um, so when I was in Ohio, I visited a friend." I begin; "and it was a guy like I used to like. And I was crying and upset, and I kissed him."

Everyone looks at me shocked.

"Well one thing lead to another and, we uh, you know," I felt my face get really hot.

There's no noise coming from anyone. Riker and Rydel just look at Mark and Stormie waiting for a response.

"I honestly don't know what to say." Stormie says. "But I'm glad that you told us, instead of having us finding out through the media."

"You're not mad?"

"No. You were upset and hurt." Mark says.

This family is really accepting and forgiving. I love them so much.

Once dinner is done, me and Ross go downstairs and go in my room.

"Can I sing you a song?" He asks grabbing his guitar.

"Sure!"

I sit down on my bed, he sits down facing me.

He starts to sing If I Can't Be With You.

I don't wanna be famous
I don't wanna if I can't be with you
Everything I eat's tasteless
Everything I see don't compare to you

Paris, Monaco, Vegas
I'd rather stay with you if I had to choose
Baby you're the greatest
And I got everything to lose
And I just wanna be with you
And I can never get enough

Baby, give it all up, up
I'd give it all up
If I can't be with you
All of this stuff sucks
All of this sucks
If I can't be with you
No Oscar, no Grammy
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine
The sky ain't blue
If I can't be with you

I could sail around the whole world
I still won't find a place
As beautiful as you girl
And really who's got time to waste

I can't even see a future
Without you in it colors start to fade
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose ya
Nobody in the world could ever take your place
You're then kind you can't replace
And I can never get enough

Baby, give it all up, up
I'd give it all up
If I can't be with you
All of this stuff sucks
All of this sucks
If I can't be with you
No Oscar, no Grammy
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine
The sky ain't blue
If I can't be with you

If I can't be with you

Oh oh
All of this sucks
If I can't be with you

All of this stuff sucks
All of this sucks
If I can't be with you
No Oscar, no Grammy
No mansion in Miami
The sun don't shine
The sky ain't blue
If I can't be with you

With you

He finishes and I'm in tears. A guy has never sang to me before.

He leans in and kisses me.

A few seconds later we pull back.

"I love you." He says to me.

"I love you more!"

"I doubt that!"

He starts tickling me, which lead to kissing, which lead to making out.

I stopped him before it got too far.

He looked disappointed.

"Let's go to sleep." I say.

We get under the blankets and are asleep within minutes.
