Forever and Always (R5)

2) The Exchange

The message read to turn phones off, so I slowly took out my phone, my hands shaking I managed to turn it off. The camera men moved to centre stage and the show taping then started. I had to try hard to concentrate as I was so excited inside. Here I was sitting in a seat in the Austin and Ally studio, in Los Angeles. I forgot all about my life. I was just trying to understand the episode. It was really hard though because Ross was there. If any of you have seen him in person before then you would know, he looks even better in real life if that’s even possible. 

---AFTER THE SHOW-----

The show just ended, and the cast has just walked off. I was going to scream, this was the most freaking awesome experience ever! But it’s over now, I thought sadly. The man from the beginning came back to centre stage. My face lit up, as I forgot about question time. Now this is my chance for him to notice me and maybe just maybe, he will fall in love with me. But I know there is no chance of that anyway. I looked around and there are a lot of people with their hands up too so I quickly put my hand up too anyway.

I’ve calmed down a lot since the beginning of the show and have successfully stoped fangirling like a crazy awkward, weird girl. He seems a lot more casual now, since filming is over. His puppy brown eyes are sparkling in the light as he combs through his hair with his hand. And there it is again, me obsessing over him.

Its Raini’s turn first and she chooses a young girl in the back row. I don’t really pay attention to the question and answer because I am thinking how Ross’s hair looks so amazing without him even trying. Sadly, I switched back to reality when a noisy, old lady in the front row started laughing like a dying seal from something Laura said. His turn must be coming up I thought excitedly. My hand was seriously getting tired from being held up for a while and I was so close to releasing the pain and putting my hand down but I’m not losing my chance. I breathed slowly and tried to calm myself down and tell myself it’ll be okay if he doesn’t choose me.

But I got distracted once again by Ross and started daydreaming. And didn’t notice what was happening until a microphone was shoved, aggressively in my opinion, at my face. I stuttered for a minute like a total idiot because I forgot to think of a question, uh stupid me. So being the awkward me, I am I asked him about the most favourite place he’s been in the world. I could say he responded by in your eyes but we all know that wasn’t true. He actually said Greece. But still OMG, he chose me! And talked to me! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now. He noticed me. I think I was going to faint and I’m serious because the lady beside me asked if I was okay and said something about me looking pale. I tried to breathe slowly but it was hard because, I got noticed by freaking Ross Lynch for crying out loud! His perfect puppy brown eyes looked at me! Anyway, you can probably guess I was pretty excited and fangirling.

Apparently I missed Calum as he already had is turn because the cast started to walk off for the signing.

----At The Signing---

The line is seriously taking forever! I mean it has to be at least 10000 people lined up, oh well I’ll get my chance. I just hope they don’t close the line after a while. While I was waiting I was talking to this nice girl my age who was also an R5er. I’ve never talked to an R5er in person before so it was cool. We talked about the band, the tour, Ryland, stuff like that. We then realised how much we have common, same birthday, same age, same name, some same fandoms. It was so nice to talk to someone who understands me. Well to be honest, I’m pretty much a loner at school and get made fun of a lot for everything I do.

----In the signing----

The guy called for the next person and that was me! I couldn’t handle myself, I gulped and walked confidently through the curtains. There in front of me was him, Ross Lynch. I stuttered again.

“Oh, I remember you, you’re the girl who asked the question” he says giving me a smile, scribbling down something on a poster.

 “Yea-a-a-ah” I answer awkwardly.

 “What's you're name?" he asks looking up at me. I stare into his deep brown eyes, losing thought.

"Oh, it's Hannah" I answer remembering the question.

"I like that name, now Hannah will you do me a favour?" he asks as a smirk creeps through his smile.

"Yeah, what?' I ask confused.

"Give me your number?" he asks biting his bottom lip a little. 

There was lots of dought in my mind, as I knew he probably said this because I looked like a retarderd girl and he felt sorry for me. Ross keep smiling with his puppy brown eyes sparkling in the light

"I’m not sure..." I struggled to say.

“I’m not taking no as an answer” he laughed rasing an eyebrow.

 "Okay Fine” I forced a laugh, giving in. He then gave me my signed poster. I took a spare pen from the bench and a random sticky note next to it and scribbled him a note with my number. I then smiled at him before walking out of the room full of confusion.

--after the show—

When I was back in the car, I told my parents and sister everything. I was so happy and felt so awesome. It’s strange how one moment of your life can change you so much. I then added in the detail that he asked for my number, unsure how they would react. My dad started saying he will never call back and my mom agreed adding that I’m just another fan. I knew what they said was true but I couldn’t stop feeling like there was a chance, a chance that maybe my life will get better. They can say whatever they want though but I’m not going to stop this feeling. A feeling that's givien me unknown confindence.
