I Can't Forget You//Ross Lynch&R5

Chapter 12

We only have 3 more days in Cali. I'm starting to get really upset that I have to go back home.

I've gotten so close with the Lynch's and Ellington, but especially Ross. Leaving him is going to be the hardest thing I've had to do.

Over the weekend, he took me out on a date. It wasn't anything special; we went out to dinner and he showed me his favorite places around Cali.

Ross is over Nathan's and the 4 of us are watching tv.

Ross' phone rings and he answers it.

"Okay, I'll ask." He says.

He moves the phone away from his mouth.

"My mom wants to know if you guys want to go out to dinner."

"Sure." Nicole says.

"Yeah. Okay, we'll be there in a few." Ross says to his mom.

"She said to come over when we're ready."

It doesn't take us very long to get ready, then we head next door.

Since there's a lot of us, we take 2 cars.

Ross drives me, Nicole, Nathan, and Ryland; and Mark drives the rest.

About 10 minutes later, we arrive at the restaurant.

Since there's a lot of us, we had to wait for a few tables to clear so they could push them together to make 1 big table.

About 5 minutes later, we were seated.

I sit in between Ross and Rydel.

The waitress comes over and takes our drink order.

After she left, 2 girls around my age, maybe a little younger, start walking over to our table.

"They must be R5 fans." Ross says.

"Hi!" The girls say when they get over to our table.

"Hi, do you girls want a picture?" Rocky asks them.

They look at him a little confused, then they look at me.

"You're Chelsea, right?" The one girl asks me.

"Yep!" I answer.

"I told you!" The girl says to the other girl.

"We're big fans of you, can we get a picture?"

Wow. No one has ever noticed me before.

"Defiantly."

One of the girls hands Ross her phone.

I stand up and take a picture with them, then they thank me and go back to their table.

Everyone looks at me when I sit back down.

"What was that all about?" Ross asks me.

"Well, me a Sophie have a channel on YouTube where we sing covers of songs."

"You didn't say you could sing." Rydel said.

"I thought I brought that up."

"Are you any good?" Riker asks.

"I mean, I guess." I answer; "I'll show you guys a video when we get back to the house."

~~

Dinner was a lot of fun. We just got back to the house, and they haven't stopped asking me to show them one of mine and Sophie's videos.

Ross hands me his laptop and I pull up YouTube and find our '7 Things' by Miley Cyrus cover.

When it was done, no one said anything.

"Was it really that bad that you guys can't say anything?"

"Chelsea, are you kidding, you're amazing!" Ross says.

"You two are really good." Rydel tells me.

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you guys." I say hugging Ross and Rydel.

"We're going to head back to the house, are you going to come, or are you staying here?" Nicole asks me.

"You can stay, it's okay." Ross says.

"I'll stay."

They leave and everyone goes and does their own thing.

Ross and I go into his room and watch "The Last Song."

We lay on his bed. He puts one arm around my shoulders and takes my hand in his free hand and sets it on my leg.

"Did you have a fun two weeks?" He asks me.

"It was defiantly the best two weeks I ever had, all thanks to you."

"Don't give me all the credit. I'm sure you would've had a lot of fun even if you didn't meet me."

"You're probably right, but meeting you, technically again, made this trip a lot better."

I think about how hard it's going to be leaving and going home. How are we going to make this work? He's a famous singer and I'm just a 16 year old from Ohio. Not only that, but we on two different sides of the country. He was my first kiss, even my first boyfriend. I can't lose him. I feel tears surfacing in my eyes. I'm not going to cry in front of Ross.

Too late.

I feel tears roll down my face. I try to hide them, but I didn't work.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Ross asks pulling me into his lap and hugging me.

"I'm just going to miss you so much." I say through the tears.

"I know, I'm going to miss you too."

"Promise me we'll talk everyday and we won't forget about each other."

"Chelsea, I'm never going to forget a girl like you. I don't know what I would do without you."

"I love you." I tell him.

"I love you so much."
