L a u r a
A small glimpse of sun was shining into my room. I was already awake I was just thinking. I knew what I had to do in order to start my life fresh. I was going to get rid of all the negativity today. I stared by having a quick shower because when I was in my little dome of denial I didn't shower that often. When I got out I blow dried my hair straight away so I could put it up and out of my face. I put on some shorts and a plan shirt, something that was easy for cleaning.
I went over to my laptop to put on some feel good music. I realised I should change some things on there. I collected all of the photos of Noah and I and put them into a folder. I knew I would regret deleting them. I put on some music and turned the volume up. I opened up the curtains and windows in the apartment, letting some much needed light in. I had to rearrange some things around the apartment but most of the things in here were mine since this is my aunts apartment.
I took all the pictures of Noah and I down but if it was a group photo I left it. I replaced them with other photos I had. I got all the visible things form Noah and put them in a box. I hid it in the back of my closet.
There was one last thing that I needed to do, go shopping. I need some food for the house and I wanted to buy some new decor to put around the place to not make it look so empty. My aunt said to make this place as much like mine as I wanted. I didn't care what it looked like, I wasn't impressing anyone.
I took my car instead of walking because I knew I wouldn't be able to carry everything.
I was almost finished for the day but there was one thing I wanted to get before going home. A new phone. I was still going to get a flip phone I just wanted a new one. Luckily I found a place that sells one. The girl working there was looking at me funny and trying to sell me the newest iPhone or some other smart phone, but I insisted on getting the flip phone.
As I was heading back to my car with a million bags in my hand I heard someone say my name. I turned around and instantly smiled.
"Hey Laura, it's great to see you!" Ross chirps.
"Ross! Hey, how have you been?" I say struggling to stand with all the bags I was holding.
"Why don't I answer that when you have less bags in your hands. Do you want some help?" He offers.
"Oh it's fine you don't have to.." I start.
He was looking from me to the bags and crossed his arms knowing I wasn't copping.
"Actually some help would be great." I admit.
He helped with most of the stuff. I only wanted him to grab a couple of bags but Ross of course took pretty much all of it. Every time I tried to say something he would cut me off.
"So where are you parked?" He asks.
"It's this red one right here." I reply.
He laughed because all I used to say was that I wanted a red car. As we were putting everything in the car he saw the phone shop bag and he froze.
"Please tell me you finally got a new phone." He almost begs.
"I know you don't like my flip phone but I do. You will be happy to know that I did upgrade." I told him.
"Really?" He says excitedly.
"See for yourself!" I say.
He looked in the bag and pulled out the box of my new phone and his smile dropped.
"Really?" He says while holding it next to him.
I start to laugh which causes Ross to start laughing as well.
"So do you need some help with all this stuff, you know getting it up to your apartment?" He says while looking at my full car.
"You want to help?" I question him.
"Well if you need it I am happy to help" He smiles at me.
"Yes, thank you I would love some help." I smile back.
Somehow Ross made carrying things into my apartment fun. I was laughing the whole time. Before I knew it everything was in here. I didn't want him to go, he always put a smile on my face and right now that is what I needed.
"I'll make you a deal. If you help me put everything away I will take you out to dinner, my shout." I offer him.
He thinks for a bit but I'm pretty sure I know his answer already. I could tell by the smile on his face.
"Deal!" He says.
When we were done with that it was around 5pm. I was really hungry and I couldn't wait any longer.
"I know it's still early but do you want to go out for dinner now?" I ask him, hoping he would say yes.
"Yeah sure I'm happy to go whenever." He replies.
"I'm just going to quickly change, I'll be right back. Make yourself comfortable." I say before rushing off.
I quickly change into jeans, a casual plain black top and my favourite small black boots with wedge heals. I also grabbed a light jacket just incase it got cold. I put my hair down, it was natural which means it was straight. Lastly I put on some light make up. I didn't really need to put much on.
"Okay I'm ready." I say coming to where Ross was waiting.
He smiled at me as his response so I smiled back.
We enjoyed a nice night out together. He took my mind off everything and I was actually happy again. He seem unusually happy. He's always happy but tonight it's like the cherry on top of the cake for him. I tried asking why he was in such a good mood and he told me that he must of woke up on the right side of bed. When he said it though it sounded more like a question. I let it go because if there really was something he wanted to tell me he would have said it.
At the moment we were just outside of my apartment and this was the moment. Was he going to come in or were we ending it here. The safe option would be to end it here but I kind of didn't want him to go. I'm not saying anything would happen between us maybe watch a movie or something but I don't want him to think that I want something to happen. I don't even know if I like him like that again. I never really hated him or anything. We never grew apart. I got upset and he went on tour not long after so we just called it quits. We were younger then anyway, we have both grown so much. Maybe I could like him, or maybe I'm trying to fill a void. Maybe Noah was the void for Ross. Maybe, just maybe, I'm thinking WAY too much into this.
"Do you want to come in and watch a movie?" I straight out asked.
Ross looked a little bit taken back and surprised but he agreed anyway.
It was still early it was only 7pm ish. We entered my apartment and Ross sat down on the couch.
"I'm going to get some food you can choose a movie if you like." I say to him.
I leave and get some snacks. Popcorn and all the classic movie foods. When I come back there was a movie already in and he was back on the couch.
"What'd you end up picking?" I asked while placing the food in front of us.
"It's a Boy Girl Thing. I love that movie! I haven't seen that in years!" He says excitedly.
"Ohh this is one of my favourite movies!" I say joining his excitement.
"Shhh!" Ross hushes me.
"It's about to begin, I don't want to miss it!" He scolds at me but I know he was joking.
"Sorry." I laugh.
Then the movie begins.
