Love Falls Forever

tired?

"Skylar?" I heard Ross' voice behind me. I pulled away slightly from Alex and looked to Ross. He smiled widely and nodded at Alex. 

"nice to see you again Ross." Alex held his hand out for Ross to shake. Once he did Ross answered.

"you too Mr. Cross." 

"call me Alex." Ross nodded and smiled down at me. I giggled and hugged Alex tighter. 

"I can't believe you're really here. I missed you so much. how have you been?" I wondered while looking into Alex's eyes. 

"I've been alright, finally got a house. So glad not to be cooped up in a tiny apartment anymore." Alex laughed. 

"that's great!" Ross and I said in sync. 

"so I see you're back here with Ross." Alex smirked. "I'm glad!" I looked up at Ross as he swung his arm around my waist. 

"I am too." I giggled, Ross smiled widely and kissed the top of my head. 

"how are you guys?" 

"were good." Ross answered for me, I nodded. The rest of Ross' family walked up and said hello to Alex. Mark introduced himself and Stormie then we sat for a while and talked. 

"it was really great to see you again Skylar. I miss you so much!" Alex said while hugging me tightly goodbye. 

"I miss you too! We should get together sometime." I wondered looking up at him. 

"yes of course, maybe your mother and her new husband could come as well." My eyes widened as I shook my head. Alex had asked how my mother was some time ago, I told him she was good and had a new husband. he was happy for her, little did he know how much she had ruined her life. "why not?" he wondered. 

"Skylar" Ross called from the door. I glanced at him then back to Alex. 

"she... uh she hasn't been the greatest lately..." I mumble.

"what do you mean? I thought you said she was doing good." he questioned.

"well she seems to think so... Riley got her into doing drugs, and partying... that's how she must have met Aron... She has become terrible... I mean like really..." I stopped and sighed. "Aron... Aron doesn't like Ross or I... He uh... he's just not a great guy." I tell Alex.

"oh well..." Alex sighs as his brows tighten together. "well I hope everything will work out..." I nodded.

"me too." I muttered. 

"well I hope we can get together sometime. Just you and I. Stay positive kid, I love you!" I smile up at him and wrap my arms once again tightly around him. 

"I love you too!"

The car ride was silent the whole way back. Once we pulled into the lynch's drive way Stormie sighed and smiled. 

"that was great. I'm glad you got to see him again Skylar. You seemed very... ecstatic." Stormie laughs. I smiled and nodded.

"yeah it was really nice." Ross smiles down at me as we walk into the house. 

"holy shit it's late." Rocky grumbled and stretched. I looked over to their stove clock, in bright green it read 11:45

"wow I guess so." I chuckled. Ross and I said goodnight to everyone and walked upstairs and into the spare bedroom. 

"tired?" Ross laughed as I yawned. 

"very." I smirked. I walked to the bed and face planted into the pillow. I let out a loud sigh of relief.

"babe don't you want to change?" Ross chuckled beside me. 

"no... I wanna lay here and sleep." my voice was muffled from the pillow making Ross laugh again. I loved hearing his laugh. It was music to my ears, it certainly put a smile on my face every time I heard it. After Ross had finished laughing at me I felt him get up from the bed and walk to the dresser. I heard a zipper then his pants fall to the floor, When he walked back over he tapped me on the shoulder. I was no half asleep.

"hum." I mumbled. 

"I got you some pj's" He told me, I groaned and rolled on my back. He chuckled as I felt his body heat over me. I slowly opened my eyes seeing his face right above mine, his eyes stared into mine as a small smile played on his lips. I slightly smiled and looked down. he wore nothing but boxers, Ross shirtless made me breathless. 

"I-I'm to tired." I managed to say as my eyes landed back on his. 

"then I will put them on you." he smirked, I lifted my arms up and closed my eyes again. 

"fine." I smiled knowing Ross was doing the same. Ross gripped the end on my shirt pulling it from my body. I heard the shirt hit the ground as he tugged on my pants. Once they were off before putting the shirt over my head Ross kissed my lips and made a line of kisses down my stomach and to my underwear. I opened my eyes and glanced down at him. He laughed and slid the shirt over my head, then pulled my cloud pants up my legs. I smiled as he climbed in bed beside me and turned off the light. "thank you babe." I giggled and snuggled closer into him. 

"anytime baby girl." Ross kissed the top of my head. "I love you" 

"I love you too Ross" I said as I drifted into a deep sleep.

I ran, ran until I couldn't feel my legs. I knew they were right behind me, I tried to keep running but I kept falling. If I don't keep running they'll kill me, I know they will. That's what they've wanted all this time, was to kill me... They wanted me dead, I knew this and kept fleeing but I'd always end up back where I was before. I was never safe, not even with Ross. I was never safe, and if I make it out of this alive... I will never be safe... There is always someone trying to find me, trying to hurt me, trying to kill me. I'm always running, running away from a battle I could fight. could I fight this? is it possible? 

I tripped once again, tumbling down I could hear their laughter. They were too close behind me, I couldn't do this. I couldn't keep running, I could barely breathe, and the pain in my legs was terrible. But I knew if I didn't get up that second, the pain I would bear would be worse than any pain I have ever been caused. They would kill me just like the others, they would rip my flesh from my bones and carve things into me. They would beat me until I was no longer breathing, they would do these things until the day my eyes closed and I took my last breath. they would do this... until the life was drained out of me and I would finally die. I took a glance behind me as I stumbled to get up. They were there, right there. so close they could grab me, but they didn't. I turned around and closed my eyes, I took a deep breath and swallowed my fear. I felt arms go around me making chills run up my spine. Their skin was cold and rough, I looked down to see the color of their skin a light shade of blue. No human would have this cold and this color of skin... unless... they were dead... 

I turned around in their arms and looked at their chest. I was terrified to look at their face, but once I saw the shirtless, scarred, sliced open chest... I knew exactly who it was... 

it was no one of relation, or even a friend... it was someone more than either of them. It was someone who use to sing to me, make me smile and laugh just by doing it himself. 

I looked up at his face, it was the same light blue as his arms. His eyes were dark and filled with pain, his hair tangled and bloody. It was him... the only one I loved more than breathing, the only one I needed. 

Ross.

Ross was dead, yet somehow looking me in the eyes with his own pain filled brown orbs.
