Stolen Heart

Chapter 40

Ross POV-

Sarah soon came out of the hospital, and we were all walking down the hallway, making sure she didn't fall.

"Ross," I heard a sober voice say as they pulled my arm back. I turned to find my mother. "Yeah?" I asked. She sighed. "Now that Sarah is out of the hospital today, we have to leave. Right now." She said. "Leave? Where?" I asked. "Ross, you have a tour." She said. "We have to leave now?" I argued. She nodded. "You can't let your fans down." She replied. "And I can't let my girlfriend down either! She can come right?" I asked. She didn't say anything, she just looked at her shoes. "Right?!" I said a little louder. She shook her head, "I'm sorry Ross."

I clenched my fists in anger, then stormed off. When do I tell Sarah? Will she even remember me after a year and a half of touring?

"Sarah?" I asked, turning her around. "Yeah, babe?" She asked. "I need to talk to you." I said. She nodded her head, then we stepped to the side. "I have to leave for tour... Now." I said sadly. "What?" She said sadly, "How are we going to withhold our relationship?"

I shook my head, "We can't.."

I saw a tear roll down her cheek. "I love you." She said. "I love you too." I replied, then enveloped her into a hug. "So.. It's over?" She asked into my shoulder. "Yeah.. But not for long." I whispered, "Wait for me?"

She laughed a bit, "Nobody would want to be my boyfriend other than you, and I don't want to be anyone's girfrend other than yours." She replied. "One more thing," I said, "I can't call or text because of international phone service."

She rolled her eyes, "Of course you can't." She said in am annoyed tone. "But don't worry, I'll be fine I guess. Is Ashley going to stay with me?"

I turned my head to find Riker and Ashley walking out the hospital doors. "I guess not." I said. Her head drooped and looked at the ground. I lifted her chin and smiled down at her. "Come back soon so you can be mine again, ok?" She asked.

I nodded, "I love you."

"I love you too."

I kissed her deeply and passionately, and when we departed I saw her eyes welling with tears. "Don't cry, my love. It'll only be a while." I assured her. She nodded, and I rubbed the tear drops of her cheeks.

"Here." I said as I took off my 'R' ring. "Keep this, and if you ever miss me, look at this." I finished, handing her the ring. "I'll never take it off." She said, tearing up more.

"Ross!" My dad yelled. I turned to see him motioning me over. "It's time for me to go now." I said sadly. She cupped her hands to my face and kissed me softly. "I love you." She said. "I love you more." I replied, then walked off.

Before we walked out, I turned to see if Sarah was still there. She was, And she was just standing there, crying and holding her ring in her hand. This caused me to fall apart..
