where popstar ross lynch meets an attractive model on instagram, and eventually falls in love with her, but faces some obstacles along the way.
- based on r5's song "if" -
[ originally called instagram ]
laura's family and i were all sitting at this little café for lunch. the whole menu was in italian, so laura ordered us a pizza, and italian pizza is the best so i was pretty excited.
as we were sitting there, waiting for our food. laura was on her phone, and ellen was making conversation with me. she was asking about my career and the process of writing songs.
all of a sudden, my phone dings and it's an instagram notification. i pull out my phone and look next to me, at laura.

laura rests her head on my shoulder and smiles. "i took that of you this morning. i'm such a stalker."
"yeah. kind of creepy." i say, agreeing with her.
"says the one who's password is my birthday." she hisses.
i laugh out loud, and the steaming, cheesy pizza was placed in front of us. my mouth was watering and it smelt amazing. "this looks so good."
"try it." laura grins. she puts a slice on my plate, and slowly waits for it to cool down before putting it in her mouth.
i take the pizza into my mouth and the taste was unreal. "i wish i was italian. this is so good."
laura giggles. "right?"
"so, how long have you been together?" laura's cousin lucy asks.
"about eight months." laura replies, smiling.
"and you live where?" angelo asks.
"i live in california with my family, but i live in my own apartment." i answer.
"we were actually talking about moving in with each other." laura says, sheepishly.
"you mean, you'd leave new york?" laura's dad asks, choking on his food. i was even shocked laura mentioned it.
"well." laura says, awkwardly. "there are just so many more opportunities in california, plus i'm auditioning for a tv show, and it takes place in california, i also want to be with ross as much as i can, so it just sounds right."
"which television show?" her dad asks.
"it's called him and i. it's going to be a series on abc. ross actually got offered an audition first. so if we both make it, we'll be in a show together." laura smiles.
"and if you don't?" her dad asks lividly. "you have this fairytale outlook on life and you're not thinking about the downfalls that could happen. what if you two break up? what if you don't get the part? what if you miss your home in new york?"
laura bows her head. "i'll figure something else out."
after lunch, laura's mom said she wanted to show me this souvenir shop. laura said she was going to go on a walk with her dad, and i felt kind of bad for her. her dad didn't seem to happy when she was talking about her future plans with me. we were all going to meet up at the beach afterwards, so laura and i separated our own ways.
"you know mrs. marano. i hope i'm not causing any problems for mr. marano. i know he wasn't too pleased to hear about laura's plans with me." i tell her, softly.
ellen sighs. "oh ross, you aren't causing any problems. damiano is just really strict, and he just wants laura to really understand her decisions. like any other parent always says, life is hard."
i nod, understandingly. "i get that, but i want him to know that laura and i have a strong relationship. even if the worst did happen and our relationship were to end, i'd always take care of her. i wouldn't leave her with nothing."
ellen smiles, warmly. "i believe you ross. i just think damiano wishes laura was still with her previous boyfriend. things didn't work out too well between laura and him, and damiano was angry."
i scrunch my eyebrows together. "laura's never talked about her ex-boyfriend."
"he didn't treat her too well, so she doesn't like to." ellen sighs. "but damiano really loved him. he just has to warm up to you."
i nod, "oh okay."
ellen smiles, patting me on the back. "just get on his good side, sweetheart."
