Sister Free (a Rooster Teeth fanfiction)

Chapter 42

A/N

I'm sorry I haven't updated. I am just going to be honest with you and not read off a list of excuses. So, honestly, I'm lazy. That's why I haven't updated. But anyway, from now on I will update whenever I can, as much as I can, but anyway, let the chapter begin.

I woke up with a pounding headache, I groaned a little, causing Ray to awaken.

"What's wrong baby?" Ray asked, concern laced his voice.

"Hangover." I complained.

"The movie?" He joked. "I've got some tablets if you want them." Ray told me, standing up slowly from my bed.

"Yes please." I smiled, rubbing my head from the headache that was now becoming worst by the second.

"I'll quickly grab them." Ray said, making his way out of my bedroom. I heard my front door close a couple of seconds later. I yawned a little and stretched whilst I waited. I heard the door re open and shut, causing me to wince a little at the pounding in my head caused by those noises. Ray came into my bedroom and handed me the two little capsules. I dry swallowed them and closed my eyes. I let a tear fall from my eye and Ray immediately ran over to me. He hugged me and stroked my hair. "Shhhhh, baby, why are you crying." He said whilst I let another tear fall and roll down my cheek.

"I guess, I guess I'm homesick." I said, letting another tear to form and slowly leave my eye. Ray wiped the tear away with his thumb.

"I know it's gonna be hard, baby, but you can get through it." He told me, making me feel a little bit better.

"Thanks." I sighed a little.

"Gavin was pretty homesick when he first came to Austin. Geoff told me that all he would talk about is you and your brother. Gavin said how worried he was because you were going to university, and he hoped that you and..." He trailed off. I saw his face flick to one that was scared, but then it returned to a caring look. I stood up and got out of Rays embrace. I walked out of my bedroom, leaving Ray in there. I put my back against the wall and slowly slid down the wall, letting numerous tears fall. Tears from memories of Dan, from memories of Raquel and from memories of my family, the ones that were causing me to be homesick. I pulled my knees up to my chest and fell over to my left. I let one tear escape, causing a flood to start from my eyes. All I've been doing here in Austin is crying, but the love of my life is here, my best friends, and my brother. I think I just need to go home for like a week. Then it hit me, my parents are expecting me home soon, they still don't know that I came home, that my apartment burnt down and that I've moved to Austin. Hopefully Ellie or Summer have informed my parent of what happened, but even they don't know that I've moved here. By this time Ray bent down by my side.

"I could call Geoff and say that you don't feel well so you aren't coming in." Ray informed me.

"No, I think I need a laugh to take my mind off of home." I sniffed, wiping a tear away from just underneath my eyes. "And I'm gonna talk to Gavin about booking tickets to England." I said, looking up at Ray.

"But you're gonna come back." Ray said, worry filling his voice.

"Yeah, I am. I'll be gone for a week to tell my family that I've got a job and moved to Austin." I reassured Ray. "And maybe next time I go to England, you could come, so I can introduce you to my friends and family." I smiled. I saw Ray look a little nervous but then smile back.

"Yeah I'd like that." He nodded. I kissed him and then stood up.

"Well, I've gotta get changed." I said to Ray.

"So do I." Ray said, walking towards my front door.

"I'll see you in a bit." I said, walking to my bathroom.

"See you soon, love you, baby." Ray said softly causing my insides to flutter.

"I love you too."
