Potent love

Chapter 20

Was it wrong? Jumping from one girl to another like I was doing?

How could I kiss Laura? She's my best friend.

There's so many thing wrong with what I just did. I single handily ruined the best friendship I've ever had.
"Ross! Why did you do that?!," Laura responded, shocked by my actions.
"I don't know. I'm sorry, Laur."
"I think you should go, Ross."
"Laur- please, Ross," She begged. I sighed and nodded, getting into my car and driving away.

Laura's POV
Ross kissed me. Ross freaking Lynch just kissed me.

And it wasn't a stage kiss either. Was I the other girl Ross was talking about?

Poor Maia. How could Ross lead her on like that?

How could Ross lead Me on like that? Dam.

I think I just lost my best friend. How could he go and break the code?

"Never kiss your best friend" is pretty self-explanatory. Maybe with some sleep I'll figure out what to do about Ross.

Hopefully. I slowly and quietly entered my house and slipped into my bed.

Instantly falling asleep.

We had just finished filming an episode for season 2. Which episode?

I have no freaking idea. My mind seems to only want to think about Ross.

Ross and I haven't talked in weeks. It's sucks.

I want to be mad at him and yell at him for making me feel so vulnerable but I just can't bring myself to do it. It is Ross after all.

I miss him. Why did he have to kiss me?

Why did I have to like it? I sighed and walked into my dressing room.

Resting on my couch was a giant stuffed bald eagle, a note attached to its wing. With a smile on my face, I gently picked up the note.

It read:
Dear Laura,
I'm so sorry for kissing you. I didn't mean to ruin our friendship but I did anyways. I guess I'm not over Maia but that doesn't give me the right to kiss you. Anyways, the point is I'm sorry.
Hopefully, your friend Ross.

I sighed already knowing I was going to forgive Ross. I walked out of my dressing room and walked into the break room.

With my bald eagle tucked under my arm, I pushed open the break room door. There sat my cast mates and my very best friends eating their lunch.

Raini was hunched over her Caesar salad. Calum was gingerly eating his stir fry.

Ross...was picking at his grill cheese sandwich. He looked so sad.
"Ross...can I talk to you outside, alone?"
"Uh yeah, sure," he said, awkwardly moving to meet me outside. We walked out to the parking lot and stood in front of his car.
"So..you wanted to talk to me?," Ross asked, stuffing his hands into his jean pockets.
"Did you mean what you wrote in the note?," I asked. He smiled brightly.
"Every word," He confirmed.
"Okay listen. I don't want what happened to ruin our friendship. I love you Ross, I don't want you out of my life. Can we still be friends?," I asked.
"Just friends?," He asked. My heart fluttered with hope.

Did he like me back?
"What do you want to be?," I asked.
"Best friends." My heart sunk. I guess I really am just his best friend.

I forcefully put a smile on my face.
"Of course. Best friends forever."
