FEEL YOU NOW ✰ ROSS LYNCH [COMPLETED]

45 - for the love of god

—phone call

"hello?"

"el, i don't know what to do. i fucked up." ryan cried, pacing the length of her apartment.

"hey, hey. calm down, ry. what happened?" ella spoke softly.

"i-i," she sighed. "i don't even really know. i met up with timothee for coffee today and-"

ella cut her off. "you what?"

ryan sighed. "listen. he texted me and he apologized and was really sweet and-" she bit back a sob. "he told me he wasn't trying to get back together, so i told him i'd meet up with him to catch up." she explained. "not a big deal."

"okay, so what's the problem? did ross not know you were meeting up with timothee? did timothee try something?"

"no-no, ross knew, but there's this picture of me and timothee kissing bu-"

"ryan, you kissed him?" ella screamed.

"i didn't!" ryan cried, pressing her fingers into her temple. "listen to me, el. please."

"okay, okay. i'm sorry. carry on."

"the photo is real but it-"

ells cut her off once more. "do you did kiss him?"

"ELLA GORE!" ryan shouted. "please, for the love of god, i need you to listen to me, okay?"

"right. i'm sorry."

"okay," she started once again. "yes, it is a picture of timothee and i kissing." she waited for ella to interrupt her once more, but when she was met with silence she seemed it safe to carry on. "but," she continued. "it's an old photo of us."

"so did you tell ross that?" ella countered.

"i tried! he was so angry, when i tried to explain it he just stormed off. i've been texting him for the last hour, and i have no idea where he is and i'm pretty sure he hates me and-"

"ryan," ella spoke firmly into the phone. "calm down."

"i'm sorry," ryan sighed, carding her fingers through her hair. "i just don't know what to do."

"you need to get a hold of ross. you can't fix this if you don't talk to him." ella coaxed. "you weren't wearing the same outfit in the photo today, right? ross was probably so angry, that he didn't take into account the details. you need to calm him down, and explain."

"el, i tried." ryan sighed.

"well keep trying." ella deadpanned. "ross has been cheated on before, and so have you. imagine you saw a picture of him kissing jaz sinclair? i'm sure you'd react the same way. you just gotta give him some time."

"thanks, el. i don't know what i'd do without you."

"probably die." el laughed. "but seriously, everything's gonna be fine, okay? i love you, ry."

"love you too, el."
