My Best Friend's Brother / Ross Lynch Love Story

Chapter 17 "Back Home & New Struggles"

\Selena's POV/ 

We walked into the Lynch household and Rydel took a deep breathe and yelled out, 

"I'm finally home!" she said smiling. We went into the living room and she fell onto the couch. "Well, Delly, go ahead and unpack your stuff in your room and then we can talk about your trip!" Stormie said headed towards the kitchen to prepare dinner. Rydel nodded and left into her room and started unpacking and I made sure all my stuff was out of the way. I followed her walking into her pink room and sat down on her bed. She took out some clothes and put them in the drawers and put her dancing clothes into the laundry basket in the bathroom. 

After she was done, she sat down next to me sighing, 

"So, my brothers drive you crazy?" she asked. I shook my head, "Not really. It was really chill around here actually." Her phone buzzed and she rolled her eyes, 

"It's Riker.. Dinner's done!" I smirked, "He couldn't have just like came into your room and get you?" She shrugged, "I guess not." 

We walked out and I went to Stormie, a.k.a, Mama Lynch, "I'ma head home! See y'all later!" I said smiling. Ross was sitting on a chair at the table and watched me. I looked over at him and we made eye contact, the corners of his mouth started to rise into a shy smile and I smiled back slightly. "Okay, tell your mom I said hi!" she said hugging me in which, I hugged back. 

I went home and opened the door and before I took even two steps into the house, I feel some glass under my foot. I stepped back and lifted my foot up and saw a vase broken with some flowers lying on the floor. I looked around seeing everything fallen onto the floor and windows shattered and tv is even beat up, 

"Mom? Mom!" I shouted. No answer. My hands started to shake. I decided to step over the glass and up the stairs into the living room area. I saw nobody, I shouted once more, 

"Mom!" 

I heard a loud bang and it sounded as if it came from upstairs. I went up the stairs and I saw my mom come out from my room. Her eyes went wide and she pulled me into a hug, 

"Selena! Thank God!" she yelled and she stroked my hair. My voice cracked, "What happened?" She sighed, "Someone broke into our house.."

I was shocked because that has never really happened to us before. We lived in a little town before this and nothing really happened. My mom sighed, "We're not the only one. Other neighbors have been robbed.." 

Too many things were going through my head now. A robber? He could kill people if he wanted to. My mom said she was going to go downstairs and clean up the other messes the robber made. I went into my room and called Rydel, 

"Hello?" she answered. 

"Rydel.." I muttered. 

"What's wrong?" 

"We were robbed. Someone broke into our house." 

I heard her gasp, 

"No way! Oh my god!" 

"I don't know what to think right now. What if he or she comes back and maybe kills us? Or robs us of everything?" 

She sighed "hold on" and a few seconds later came back to the phone. "I told my mom what happened and she said you and your mom could stay with us until the police could find the person who did it and your house is repared."

"Really? Thanks Rydel!" 

"No problem," she said and we soon hung up. My mom grabbed the things that have survived the break in and packed some clothes and things we need. I, of course, haven't unpacked from staying with the lynches yet so I was good. It was seven when we arrived over at the Lynch household and my mom greeted Stormie and Mark when we entered. 

"Thank you so much for letting us stay here!" my mom said. Stormie smiled, "No problem. Its' so horrible what happened. I hope they find the person soon." 

I walked into the living room and saw Ross and Rocky. "Hey guys," I said. Rocky threw his chin up at me and Ross smiled slightly, "Hey, what you doing here?" 

"Our house got robbed and we're gonna stay here until they fix our house and find the robber," I answered. Ross got up, "Are you serious?" and pulled me into a hug. "Thank god you are okay.." he whispered. I smiled and hugged back tightly. I didn't want to let go out of Ross's embrace. He was so comforting and right now, after what has happened, I could use the comfort. 

He pulled away from me smiling,

"Hey, now we can be together even more now," he laughed. I laughed along at his own witty comment. I went into Rydel's room and found that Delly (Rydel) set up a a little bed for me by her bed. I sighed, "Thanks." She nodded and continued playing on her iPad. By the time it was nine, I went into the bathroom and changed into some pajamas. I started craving for a snack so I went into their kitchen turning on the light and I saw that Ross already beat me to the nutella. 

"Dang it, Ross!" I said chuckling. He smirked and handed the jar to me. I put some nutella on a piece of bread and he stood watching, chewing some food down. He leaned and kissed my cheek. I smiled and blushed rosy pink. "I didn't know I could love my own enemy," he said. "Me neither," I said looking up. He lifted my chin up even more and leaned in and kissed me. I kissed back softly and he pulled me closer to him.  We stood there kissing for a good minute until we pulled away with Ross holding my hand, "I'm glad I did though," he smiled. I nodded and whispered, "Me too."
