Stay With Me

Chapter 4 - Laura

Am i crazy or do i hear singing? its beautiful..

When me and Cameron were done with our "date", I needed somewhere to clear my head. I walked back upstairs to my room. I decided maybe a nap was better for me too. I kicked off my shoes and pulled my hair up to fall asleep. I crawled into bed and let the TV play in the background. My eyes felt heavy and soon my whole body ached. Was I really this tired already? I ignored it and thought about this morning. Why did Ross look so hurt when I left, and why was it hard to not feel the same way? I immediately felt bad about the whole situation but what's done is done.

Laura got out of bed and turned over to see Ross beside her.
"You're still here. " he smiled.
She smiled back "I wouldn't leave you, Ross, you know that. " she stroked him.
"But, what about Cameron? " He suggested and sat upright.
"Shh... let's not talk about him right now. I want to talk about us." She leaned into Ross and parted her lips. they were about to touch, and

When i woke up, I was gasping for air and drenched in sweat. I was breathing hard. It was only a dream? it felt so real though. I turned over and looked at the clock ; 4:35pm. I'd only slept for a few hours. Phew. I got out of bed and checked the tiny fridge I had put food into the other day. I grabbed a sandwich from it and a Gatorade and ate while I finished watching some TV.
 I decided to text Ross.
"Hey how about we watch movies in my room tonight? "
 I waited forever for a reply, then finally my iPhone buzzed.
"Sure. how about around 8ish? "
"sounds good :) "
Now I couldn't wait for tonight. She couldn't like Ross, could she?

Soon it was almost time for Ross to come over. 
"Hello? Laur? "
"Yeah I'm in the bathroom changing hold on. " I was just changing into something more comfortable. I put on a tank top and some shorts. I had just gotten a shower, so I pulled my hair up. I stepped out of the bathroom and hugged Ross.
"Hey, I'm sorry about this morning, I didn't know what to do."
Ross shrugged it off, "Uhm, don't worry about it." He went over and flopped on the bed. " Which movie are we watching? "
 I looked over at Ross and joined him on the bed. "I don't know, I picked a few out if that's okay."
Ross smiled, "Yeah that's great."
 We picked a scary movie first. I instinctively laid against Ross for "protection " to hide from the movie, not thinking. We were halfway through the second movie, which got kinda boring, He took his shirt off because. I leaned on Ross's shoulder. in a friendly way, right? I heard a knock on the door . I got up and opened the door. Ross scowled and tried to hide the fact that he was sitting in Laura's bed. Ross could hear them.
"He's here? " he heard Cameron snap.
"Uhm, yeah, we were watching movies." Laura said sheepishly.
"Can I come in? " Cameron asked and walked in right past Laura. he glared at Ross and sat down. "Uhm is there any reason you have your shirt off? "
Ross picked up his shirt and put it back on. "Erm, no, but .."
Cameron cut him off anyway.
"So Laur, come over a little earlier tomorrow. "
Ross was shocked. He got up and walked toward the door, "Maybe I should just come back later? "
"No, I was just going to bed anyway. Bye Ross, bye Cam. " I crowded them out of the door before going to sleep, having my night interrupted.
