It's been a year since Laura left him. Ross isolated himself away from the world, only leaving to indulge himself with dancing to suppress his emotions. He didn't have clue what happened to Laura and nor did he care (he really did, though).
It was a bright day when he got the letter through the post. The writing on the front looked eerily similar. He hated the way he felt slight hope, and how the hairs on his arms stood up as he ripped open the envelope. He pulled it out and began to scan the paper.
Mr. Ross Lynch,
You have been named as one of the select few attendees to be at Laura Marano's funeral.
And this was the second time in his life that he had been brought to his knees.

5 years had passed and Ross sat out on the warm sand, as the orange hues from the setting sun blanketed his body. A small, black dog was nestled on his lap, and Ross played with it's soft fur. He ended up buying the beach house, the dog and another cute, little puppy he caught sight of the other day was probably going to join them soon.
After Laura's funeral, he visited Mrs.Marano. She told him Laura had been diagnosed with cancer and she had to come back home for treatment. Ross was shocked at this and mad that he wasn't there to help her but he remembers the fact that the she didn't want him and another piece of him had cracked that day.
When he was leaving, she had said that Laura loved him very much but Ross had just smiled at her sadly. He just blamed it on the fact that Lauta just didn't want to worry her mother with their break up or something.
He didn't think much of it until two years after, Raini, Laura's best friend from the her hometown visited him with a letter that she said she found when she was helping Mrs.Marano clear out Laura's room.
To my love Ross,
I'm sorry. I am a coward, Ross. A huge one. I shouldn't have ever left you but I couldn't bear seeing you be upset over me. I was dying. They said I had a limited time to live. I didn't want to you to hold onto something you can't. You deserve to love someone who will be able to show you how much they love you for all your days, Ross
Remember, I'll always be watching over you and I will always, always, love you, Ross. Forever.
Be happy.
Your love, Laura.
ps. Velvet is a cute dog name, don't you think ^-^
Ross had cried and laughed at the letter. He was mad that Laura had to be such a selfless person but at the same time the heartfelt words had intensified the love and patched up the brokenness he had felt when Laura left him. He had finally felt happy and it was then that he decided to buy the beach house, with the help of a very large loan and his (their) dog that he did indeed call Velvet.
And as he stares at the nearly fully set sun, the orange, pink and yellow reflecting off the ocean, the warm sand seeping through his toes and Velvet yapping happily in the back Ross feels whole again.
His damaged house had finally become a healed home.
