Ross' Pov
I've been in Ella's room for two days. Laura doesn't even acknowledge me anymore. I tried to get her to let me into the room, but she never did.

And there's a fever as well that is stopping me from trying my best to get Laura back. Ever since she left me, I've been having a really high fever and Ella's been taking care of me.

She admitted her feelings towards me, which made me a lot uncomfortable, but for some odd reason, it made me kiss her that day at the same time. We were probably just lost in a moment because I love Laura a lot more than I love Ella. I love Ella as a friend, but Laura is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

"What are you thinking about Ross?" Ella asked when she came into the room.

"Laura" I sighed

She looked away and sat down.

"I need to tell you something and you probably won't like it," she said

I furrowed my eyebrows. Last time she used that line was when she told me she liked me.

"Laura was kidnaped. It's possible that it happened yesterday, but we're not sure" she said

"WHAT!! How the fuck did that happen? She didn't even leave her room" I said and pulled my hair.

It's all my fault. All my stupid fault. If it wasn't for me kissing Ella we would've been together and nothing would've happened to her.

"Apparently she did. I got some footage from the local cameras that police put up. Noah helped me hack into it and she was last seen by the fountain, but we don't know anything else because they dragged her to a place where cameras couldn't reach" she said

Fuck

"We need to find her!! I love her for god's sake. I can't let her die" I said pacing around the room "She was kidnaped by Marano, right?"

"We're not sure. Probably, but we don't have any evidence" she said

"Who is crazy enough to kidnap their daughter because she's with a guy they don't support?" I said

I'm so fucking stupid. We shouldn't have run away. If I just got it into my stupid head that I would never have her none of this would've happened.

"Do you have any, like the slightest idea, about where they could have taken her?" I asked

"We don't know how their vehicle even looks like. There are so many places they could've gone to. We don't even know if they're in Europe anymore" she said and I sighed

"I need to find her. She's everything I have and even though I messed up I'm willing to spend my whole life trying to make up for it, but I can't do it if she's not safe. If she's not with me" I said

"We'll find her. Don't worry" Ella said and sat next to me "you should sleep though. You can't do anything about it now and your fever is not helping. I'll wake you up as soon as I find something out"

I shook my head

"Ross you need to get some rest. You haven't been sleeping since you two had that fight or whatever. She still loves you. That's why she's mad. She wouldn't like it if you didn't take care of yourself" she said and I sighed

"Fine. I'll take a nap for Laura. Wake me up if you hear something" I said and she nodded

I don't even know how I fell asleep. Usually, when I'm worried about something, I can't sleep for the life of me.

When I woke up Ella was curling her hair.

"Anything new on Laura?" I asked

She jumped in her seat a bit "You startled me. Jesus" she put her hand over her heart "but no. Still nothing. Noah is working on hacking other cameras to find any suspicious cars that were in the area at the time Laura was kidnaped"

I nodded and sighed "I really hope she's okay"

"Don't worry. She went missing yesterday. They wouldn't kidnap her if they didn't want something from her. She's still alive, I guarantee" she said and I nodded

I wanted to believe that, but the other part of me said that she's somewhere lying on the cold hard floor and I'm not there to help her.

"Should we call the police?" I asked

"We'll see. For now no, but if we'll need help, we will do that" Ella said

I nodded again and got up.

"What am I even supposed to do. I can't just wait. Maybe I should go look for her"

"Yeah so that they could kidnap you too," she said sarcastically

"Sorry. I'm not best at thinking at times like these"

"Look. There's a party tonight. Some big businessman is coming here so they're throwing him a party. I bet it's Marano. When we get to him, we'll have all the answers we need" she said

"So we're partying while Laura's possibly dying," I asked

"We're working on saving her and having a bit fun while doing it. Now come on get ready or we'll be late" she said and put her hair curler down "there's a suit on the sofa"

I shook my head and took the suit. I guess we're going to a party.

"I'm ready," I said and got out of the bathroom

"I'm ready," I said and got out of the bathroom

I let Ella take the room that we're staying in to get dressed. I usually sleep on the couch in the corner of the room.

"Me too," she said and twirled in her blue dress

"Me too," she said and twirled in her blue dress

(A.N. there's a little change of plan. Ella will be played by Sara Sampaio, but they are both quite similar so)

"Where did you even get these clothes? They look expensive" I commented

"That's okay. I have money" she said

The normal update will come on Friday or Saturday.

And also I don't really like the ending of this chapter because she doesn't seem like a bratty person, but idk... you decide.
