I cried for weeks. Daniel and I were orphans.
How will we get through this? Daniel's in a deep state of depression and won't even tell me how our parents died. We stay in our house but we know that eventually we will have to go to an adoption center. The Lynches' check in on us every day. Ross and Rydel especially, since Ross is my best friend and Rydel is Daniel's girlfriend.
We're grateful, we really are. When we keep on pushing them away they just come back even stronger. They never leave.
So I sit on my bed, crying into my pillow and looking out the window at the sky, wanting to see my parents again. I hear the door open but I already know who it is.
"Hey, what's up?" Ross says, siting on my bed.
"The same that's been up the last two weeks." I reply coldly with tears streaming down my face.
Ross sighs. "Christina I'm tired of seeing you like this. Please talk to me." He says
"Ross I can't. You wouldn't understand." I cry.
"I would if you just told me. Come on, when have we kept things from each other before?" He answers me.
I sigh this time. "Ross, I-I can't-" He cuts me off when I finally turn to him by pressing his lips against mine. I'm shocked and it takes me a few seconds until I realize what's happening. After the shock calms itself, I kiss him back.
He pulls away blushing and looks down. "Sorry," he says, "I couldn't help it. I can't stand seeing you like that, Christina."
I smile for the first time in weeks and I bring him into a hug. "If you were aiming to make me smile, then it worked."
He smiles back. "That was part of it..." He says looking into my eyes.
I stare back into his hazel eyes. This time I have to look away.
Ross' POV (As of this point)
I look into her brown eyes with honey colored highlights until she looks away. I'm tempted to kiss her again but i think that it's not appropriate a second time.
"I, uhh, I've been wanting to do that, for a, umm, while." I say uneasily.
She looks back at me and smiles again. She surprises me and kisses me again, and I slowly stroke her soft brown hair. I can feel her smile in the kiss. We kiss for what feels about 30 seconds but was really 5 minutes.
Christina's POV
I love him. I can't help it. I think he loves me too. I'm so happy. His soft warm lips against my cold heartbroken ones feels fantastic. I put my arms around his neck and slowly pull away. We both blush.
"I love you." I say with ease.
He smiles.
