Stolen Heart

Chapter 15

Sarah POV-

"What's he doing here?!" I whisper yelled to riker. He shrugged his shoulders and looked back at the door we came through, supposedly looking for Ross.

"Hide!" I said to him. He nodded his head, and quickly got up, dropping the paper he held in his pocket. I quickly grabbed it and wrapped it in my hands, hoping to open it soon.

I calmed myself, then asked kelsea. "Who's at the door?" I asked. "R-Ross Lynch!" She said. I held back tears as his name rang through my ears. He's here. Pretend riker isn't here, pretend you're shocked.

"Ross?" I asked, pretending to be in shock. I ran inside, and saw him. The, used to be, love of my life, standing a few feet away from me. I ran up to him, embracing him in a hug.

"I missed you." He whispered in my ear. "C-can we talk?"

I nodded my head, wondering what was gonna happen next. "Let me just take care of something." I said. He nodded, then I raced back outside.

"Riker?" I whisper yelled. I saw his head bob out of the pool shed. "Over here!" He whisper yelled back. I ran over to the shed, and met him in there. "You have to go." I said sadly. "What?" He asked. "Ross is here. He can't know you're here." I said. He nodded. "You can come back. Just find a hotel or something, then I'll call you and you can stay for the night." I assured him.

He nodded then embraced me into a hug. "I'll see you soon." He said. I smiled, then tried to run out of the shed, but a hand caught my wrist. I was spun around, and warm lips touched mine. "Bye riker." I said after we departed. "Bye." He said with a chuckle.

I ran up the stairs and into my room, where Kelsea told me Ross was waiting. I opened the door, and saw him sitting on my bed, twiddling his thumbs.

"Hey." He said with a gentle smile. "Hey." I replied. "What did you need?"

"Can you please come home?" He asked, jumping up out of his seat. "I can't. You know I can't." I stated. "You have to! You're family needs you!" I he said. I remembered that talk riker and I had, I hope our conversation won't turn out like that.

"Ross I-" I started, but he cut me off. "Do you know how stressed Rydel is? She's been taking care of a couple kids, and it's tiring!" He said. "Oh ya? Well now you know how I feel!" I said, my voice now raising. "That doesn't mean you can put Rydel in a situation like this!" He started to yell. "I had to get away from that place!" I yelled.

"Get away from what? Me?" He yelled. "Yes! I needed time to myself! All this fighting between you and Riker! I couldn't stand it!" I yelled. His face started to get red, but then he took a deep breath, and the color faded.

"I don't understand why this is so frustrating for you." I whispered. "Because you left! I loved you, and you left!" He yelled again. "Loved?" I questioned. "Loved." He said, then walked out of the room.
