Potent love

Chapter 9

It's been a week since Velvet's passing. Although it hurts, I've moved on.

Moving on from Velvet has been the hardest thing I've probably ever had to do. With the help of my family and friends, moving on is becoming easier and easier with each passing day.

Shaking the thoughts of Velvet out of my head I walked over to Ross and gave him a hug.
"Hey. You feeling better?," He asked, wrapping his arms around me. I smiled.
"Much." He smiled.
"Good. Calum and Raini wanted to talk to us about something. They said it was important," Ross said taking hold of my hand and guiding me to Calum's dressing room. Ross let go of my hand to open the door.

My lips morphed into a slight frown. Why couldn't he have used the other hand?

I stepped inside the dressing room and took a seat on the couch.
"You guys wanted to see us?," Ross asked. Raini nodded.

She glanced over at Calum and he gave her a reassuring smile.
"Okay, you have to promise not to freak out," Raini warned.
"I promise, we won't freak out," Ross said. Raini looked over at me, her eyebrow raised.
"I promise, I won't freak out," I assured.
"For the last month now Calum and I have been on a couple of dates. We both realized that we have feelings for each other and we wanted to see if we could work. With the couple of dates we've been on, we both know that we will work. So...Calum and I are officially together!," Raini exclaimed, a love struck smile taking over her face.
"Oh my gods, you guys! I'm so happy for you," I said pulling both of them into a hug. Ross gave Calum a thumbs up.

As Ross hugged Raini after I let go, I couldn't help but feel so happy. I've never seen Raini or Calum this happy.

Ever. It warms my heart.
"Laur, you coming? We're heading out to lunch," Ross said holding out his hand for me to take. I smiled and latched my hand into his.

Life for couples around me have been good. Vanessa and Riker are going strong, Calum and Raini haven't been happier and Rydel and Ellington are so in love.

When was it my turn? I sighed as I walked towards the piano in my room.

I sat down and played a song that was always able to clear my mind; "city of stars." As I played, I let the music carry me away.

All my trouble seemed to vanish into thin air. I smiled.

My head was finally clear. It has been clouded for the last couple of days.

The source you ask? I could pinpoint it from a mile away.

The source, as it always seemed to be for my sleepless nights, was one Ross Shor Lynch. Why I was thinking about him so much?

I have no idea. I just hope it stops soon.

Ross has consumed my mind and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm close to him?

That could be it but why am I only starting to think about him now? I sighed.

I'm never going to figure this out. I hit the last notes then let my head rest gently against the keys.

The only way I'm going to clear my mind is if I talk to someone about it. But who?

Vanessa is out with Riker. Raini is also out with Calum.

Ross I definitely cannot talk to about this. So who?

What about Rydel? I raked my brain trying to figure out if she was free or not.

Once my brain came to the conclusion that she was, I slipped on my shoes and headed towards the Lynch household, hoping not to run into Ross.
