Stolen Heart

Chapter 47

Sarah POV-

I looked at the phone that was sitting on my bedside table. Should I answer? What would I say? What will she say?

I picked up the phone shakily, then pressed ANSWER.

"Sarah!" Rydel sang as she connected the call.

"I don't understand." Was all I managed to say. "W-what? Are you excited to see me?" She pouted. I shook my head, "Of course I'm excited! But I thought you guy didn't have international coverage." I said. She shook her head too, "Oh, I do honey. Please, you think I'm going a year and a half without my best friends?!"

"Why didn't you call me earlier?" I asked. "Ya know, I was super busy! But-" She started, but a familiar voice in the backround cut her off. "Who are you talking to?" The voice asked. "Sarah." She stated. "Sarah?!" The voice nearly shouted. The phone shook for a second and everything was blurry. Then after that, a new face appeared on the screen.

The person I've been dying to see since the day he left.

The person who gave me the promise ring.

The person who made me feel like the greatest person in the world.

Ross.

"Sarah.." He said scanning his screen. "Ross..." Was all I managed to say back. "Oh my god, I love you. I love you so much, I miss you so much, I love, love, love, you!" He said.

I felt tears brim my eyes as I covered my mouth with my hand. "I love you too, Ross. So, so, so, much!" I replied.

His faced drooped as he scanned the screen once more.

"Where's your ring?" He asked.

My eyes looked down at my hand. I forgot about the broken ring. What do I do? Tell him the truth? Lie?

"Sarah you can tell me anything." He said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"My friend, who is a guy, found out That I had a boyfriend. He doesn't know your name, but he didn't like the fact I had a boyfriend so he took the ring he knew you gave to me and smashed it." I said, on the verge of tears.

His eyes filled with anger. "What a.." Ross started, then curses filled the air.

"Baby, it's fine. I promise. I'll just stay away from him. I'll tell you if anything happens. I'll text Rydel, everything will be fine." I assured him. He looked at me again, his expression softening. "Okay, baby girl. I love you." He said. "I love you too, have fun!" I said before we hung up. He blew me a kiss, then we hung up.

I smiled as I placed my phone back on my bedside table. I then lay my head on my pillow and fell asleep.

----------------------------------------

The next day, I went to school and Chris completely changed.

His eyes were brighter along with his smile, and he kept flirting with me the whole day. He even apologized! Of course I forgave him, if I didn't he would've done something else.

"Hey Sarah!" He sang to me across the hall. "Hey Chris." I said with a smile as I put away my books and grabbed my bag.

"Wanna go to the library after for our essay?" He asked. I nodded, "Sure."

We walked out to his car at the last bell, and drove to the library together.

"Wow.." I said as I looked at all the colorful books filled in the shelves. "Wow is right.." Chris said, then looked over at me.

I didn't look back, I just admired the books. But he wouldn't stop staring at me. "Why are you staring at me?" I asked after 3 minutes passed. "Because you're beautiful."

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, let's get some books."
