The next few days I spent in my room, not exactly crying my eyes out. More like throwing bitch fits and wondering why my life has gotten all the good things taken away. First my parents and now my boyfriend- I mean ex-boyfriend.
Ross has called me 50 times and left me 50 voicemails, literally. I'm not exaggerating.
I'm still mad at him and I hate him with all my heart. But whenever I think of the situation I wonder, 'Why? Why did he go along with it?'
He had my heart after all these years and then he crushed it. I hear a knock at the door. "Come in." I yell in response.
Daniel steps through the door and wrinkles his nose in disgust. "Aren't the brothers supposed to have messed up hair, B.O., and leg hair?" He asks me. I roll my eyes. "How long had it been?"
"A week." He answers. I shrug and dig through my drawers for clean summer-time clothes. "I'll take a shower now and then I'm going to the park." He nods and closes the door when he leaves.
-----
I head out to the park in a pair of jeans shorts, a tank top, and a pair of Nikes; just in case I run into a certain someone and I have to make a quick escape.
I climb one of the trees around the park and just sit on a stable branch. I breathe in the fresh air and welcome the calm silence. I relax for just a few minutes before I hear a rustling in the bushes below the tree I'm in.
I see a paparazzi and wonder which awesome celebrity is at this lame park. I look around until I see where the paparazzi is looking. I see familiar blonde hair and I roll my eyes in disgust. 'Great. Ross is here to ruin my day.' I think to myself.
I need to make him see that I can go on without him and that if his career is more important than a long lasting friendship, then I'm better off without him.
I climb down from the tree and walk past the paparazzi guy, completely ignoring him. I purposely walk past Ross only to see Laura all over him.
"Rossy, you look so hot today." I hear Laura say to him as I get closer. I feel Ross' eyes on me as Laura turns around to get a good look at me. I smile at her and she does the one thing that kills me the most inside.
Laura grabs Ross by his shirt and pulls him down to her level, giving him a hard kiss. The fake smile I wore faded and I stopped walking. I was frozen in my tracks.
Ross was kissing her back.
Infront of me.
I felt my eyes water but I fired them back, mentally scolding myself for nearly breaking down. When Laura pulled away from the kiss she smirked at me, obviously knowing that she broke me a little.
What she didn't know was that it didn't break a part of me- it broke all of me. I glanced at Ross and controlled myself. I manage a fake smile. "You two are lovely together." I say calmly, my voice cracking a bit.
I see the confusion on Laura's face and the longing on Ross'. I slither past them and I hear Ross call my name. I turn my head to him and what he says shocks me. "STAY!" He yells to me, recalling the morning I was woke up in my parents room and he was with me.
I feel my face soften and my eyes water again. "Always..." I whisper to him, one tear escaping my eye and falling to the ground. Without any further hesitation I run back home, not stopping.
Ross' POV
"STAY!" I yelled after her. She stopped and turned her head to look at me. She looks taken a back, but her face softens and her lip trembles as she mouths something to me. I see something fall from her face before she turns and runs.
A few moments pass and I realize what had happened. She was crying. Over me.
And she said it.
Always.
