Finally Loved (Sequel To The Walls Between Us)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Talias POV

I didn't say goodbye to Ross. It wasn't necessary. We are broken up now and I've moved on. I have a date with another guy tonight. It's stupid I know but he's so nice and cute. 

I went into my closet and grabbed a shirt that says 'The End 99' It was white with a black collar and black on the sleeves. I put that on and went to look for some shorts. I saw a pair sitting on my dresser. They were short and black leather. I grabbed the closed black high heels by my bed and the black bandana and put them on.

I ran downstairs and waited for him to show up. He was supposed to be here at 6:30 and now it's 7. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I saw Ross's contact and called him. 

The phone rang and rang. He finally picked up and said "Hello?" I froze. I had no idea what to say. "Hello?" Oh no. No. No. No. "Talia? Are you there?" 

"Oh. Ross! Hi." Where is this coming from. "I um must have butt dialed you. Sorry." I sighed and waited for a reply.

"Why did you call?" He asked. I waited to reply without sounding needy. 

"I know this is kind of awkward. Ok very awkward. I'm going somewhere." I said.

"On a date." Ross stated

"No! Anyway I'm going with someone." I replied.

"A guy." Ross said. 

"Please stop being such a smart-ass." I said. "I know that maybe you can guess but I just want advice. I need a friend." 

"Your right. I'm sorry." You could almost hear the heartbreak in his voice. It was killing me but it's for the best. "What advice do you need." Ross asked.

"Well I guess I've never actually been on a date without knowing that he likes me. What do I do?" I asked.

"Just be yourself. Talia, Your amazing. Don't let anyone tell you different." Ross said. I felt like crying. I looked out the window and Devan, My date, walked up the driveway.

"Thank you but I have to go." I said and hung up. 

I walked to the door and answered it. Devan stood there in a mustache shirt, a blazer, jeans and black converse. I smiled at the sight of him.

"Hey." Devan said.

"Hey." I replied.

'You ready to go?" He asked. I was about to answer when the sound of Ross saying 'I love you played in my head over and over again.

"No." I said. I felt like crying. I can't believe I even for a second thought about doing this to him. That would be mean. I know that  now.  

"Is this a bad time?" He asked me.

"Yes, it is. Because I just went through a bad breakup and I thought that if I went on a date with you then maybe I would be able to move on. But that's not reality. That's only in the movies. I'm so sorry. You seem like such a nice guy. I think that maybe if I didn't love him then I could do this but-" I said. I was now lecturing him on how horrible I was.

"Stop. I get it. Maybe we could go out and get some taco bell and just talk. Be friends. And if later it could be 2 days 2 months even 2 years, If you want to go on a date then we can. But let's start out as friends." Devan smiled at his genius plan. I laughed. 

"Sounds wonderful." I said. Devan moved his hand towardss his car. I nodded and we walked over and got in.

Ross's POV

I looked out the window of our tour bus. Probably looking for some stupid answer on what I should do. I heard the footsteps of someone, probably mom, coming towards me and then stop. 

"You doing ok, Buddy?" Riker said. I turned to look at him and looked back out the window. 

"I can't believe I said it. I mean I know I was thinking it but I should have thought about it first." Riker sat down next to me. "When the words came out I thought it was right. But it turns out it was the worst mistake ever." I said. Riker looked confused.

"I'm not sure I knnow what your talking about." Riker replied. 

"Talia. I should never have broke up with, Talia." I said. It seemed obvious.

"Maybe since you said it anyway it ws the right thing to do." Riker said. 

"You really think that?" I asked.

"No. Of course not!" Riker said.

"Then what the hell." I said.

"Look, Ross, you know that wwe are all here for you. To be honest, we fought for you two to be together and you weren't grateful enough so you through it away. So no I don't think you did the right thing. Talia, is an amazing girl. If I could I would date her myself but she doesn't love me. She loves you. And she's 18 and knows what love is already. I mean she knew when she was 16. Ross, you have to understand that you could have just lost everything you have fought for in just 2 seconds. You have to fix it." Riker said. I sat there thinking about what he said. Riker left me alone.

My head was filled with all these thoughts. She was mine. She was my world. I'm the worst person. 

Talia's POV

"So you honestly think that Ross Lynch is cuter then me." Devan said. He was smiling like crazy. 

I nudged him and laughed, "I don't know." I said.

"Then you son't have to answer then," Devan said looking at me. "Because you know I'm cuter." He giggled. 

"I do know I love your laugh." I said. Devan stopped in his tracks. I turned and looked at him. "What?" I asked. I walked over to him. He grabbed my hand. 

"You are so sweet." Devan laughed.

I slightly smiled. "Friends. Deavn. Remember." I said.

"I can't." Devan turned away and started to walk away. I felt like I was gonna cry.

And them my phone rang.... It was Ross.

A/N: I know it's been forever!! I'm so sorry!! But here is your chapter!!!! Love you all!!!!
