~ Laura's POV ~
I looked up to see Ross standing there. "Ross? Why did you do that? I thought you hated me?" I said. He sighed and said, "I believe you, I just had to think about it for a few minutes" I nodded. He lead me to my bed and got a bandage to wrap around my wrist. "So your not cured yet?" I asked. "Not cured" he said. I nodded. He finished wrapping the bandage and I said, "Well when do you want to be cured?" He shrugged, "I don't know but I do! I will tell you later" he said. I nodded and said, "Are you going to break up with Maia?" He shrugged again, "Probably" he said. I nodded and went downstairs. "I'm go out to the garden" I said as I reached the bottom of the steps. "I will be there soon" Ross said from the top of the steps.

I was in my room and I grabbed my phone. I searched for Maia's name in my contacts. When I found her name, I called her. It rang for a few minutes till she finally answered. "Hey baby" she said excitedly. I rolled my eyes and said, "Look Maia, you are a cool girl but..." She cut me off, "Are you... breaking up with me?" I sighed and said, "Its not you, well it is but look I'm sorry" I heard her crying. She hung up without saying another word. I sighed and put my phone in my back pocket. I headed downstairs and left to go find Laura.
~ Laura's POV ~
I was looking at all the beautiful flowers when I heard a loud clap of thunder. It started raining but I didn't care. I keep looking at the flowers. I heard someone call my name and I turned around. I saw Ross standing there. I smiled and rolled my eyes playfully. I walked over to him. I shivered as I approached him. It was really cold. He took off his jacket and put it around me. "Aren't you going to get cold?" I asked. He laughed and said, "Yea, but I don't care" I smiled and hugged him. He hugged back. My arms were around his neck, his arms were around my waist. When we pulled back we starred into each others eyes. Without thinking I leaned in and kissed him. I was afraid he would pull back but he didn't. I smiled into the kiss and when I leaned back, I rested my head on his chest. We stood there for what seemed like hours. It was perfect.
When we got back to the castle we both got into warm clothes. I had on a pink shirt and the sleeves went down to my elbows. I had on pink soft and comfy pants. I had some uggs on and my hair was pulled up in a ponytail. I went into the kitchen and got me a water. I was about to sit down on the couch when the doorbell rang. I went to the door and opened it. I didn't see no one, but when I looked around I saw a letter on the ground. I picked it up, it was a little wet. I shut the door and went back in. I sat on the couch and opened the envelope. It read, 'I will get revenge on you Marano! Ross will be mine! Watch your back. And don't expect Ross to be there to protect you. I will hurt you!!! >:) Love, Maia<3' My eyes widen in shock. Ross came downstairs and said, "Whats that?" I handed him the letter and he read it. He sighed once he finished reading it. "She wants revenge on me!" I said. Ross put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. "Don't worry I will protect you no matter what she says" he said. I smiled up at him, he smiled back.
- LAURA'S DREAM -
I was walking down a dark alley. It was around midnight and I was lost. I didn't know where I was. I was scared, worried, nervous. Ross left me for Maia. Maia got her revenge by making it seem like I cheated on Ross. I hate her. She ruined our perfect relationship. Ross kicked me out of the castle and my castle was locked up. I didn't know how much longer it would be till my mom got back so I just left. All of a sudden everything was pitch black and I was knocked out.
I opened my eyes slowly. Everything was blurry. Once my vision was clear, I realized I was in a dungeon. I saw two figures in front of me. I didn't know who they were but I knew they were humans. One walked into the light and I realized it was Maia. The other walked out and it was Ross. Maia snapped her fingers and this guy came out and started hitting me and kicking me. All I heard was Maia and Ross laughing, I saw them laughing too. "She is such a loser" Ross said.
- END OF DREAM -
~ Ross' POV ~
I was sound asleep when I woke up to a girl screaming. I jerked up and saw Laura breathing really hard. She slept with me tonight. We didn't do it just so you know. "Laura? What happened?" I asked rubbing my eyes. She still was breathing really hard. I pulled her towards me. My arm around her shoulder, her head laying on my chest. We laid back down. Once she calmed down she spoke up. "I had a bad dream" she said. "What was it about?" I asked. She sighed and said, "You left me for Maia. She got revenge on me. You kicked me out of the castle. I was in a dungeon. I was getting hurt. You and Maia were laughing. You called me a loser" I sighed. "That was only a dream. I will never leave you no matter what" I said. Laura looked up at me tears rolling down her faces. She sat up and so did I. She leaned in and kissed me. I kissed back. When we pulled apart we laid back down. Before I fell asleep, I said, "I love you Laur!" I could tell Laura was smiling. "I love you too" I smiled and fell asleep.
