Forever and Always (R5)

3) You Again

I woke up feeling exhausted and confused. Confused where I was and confused about what happened. I look around seeing a room which was unfamiliar. I then remembered i'm in Los Angeles, on hoilday. Then the memories from yesterday flowed back, giving me a headache. So much had happened yesterday; it felt like it didn't happen at all. Maybe it was just a dream, I thought as it seemed like nothing has changed. But I was soon reminded by my sister giggling, waving my signed poster in my face. I laugh at her. Then carefully take it from her, placing it down on my bedside table. My phone started beeping and I quickly rampaged around my bag to find it. Which was on the ground luckily, not too much excerise. Could this be it? Could it be Ross texting? I stare at the screen with antipation. It turned out my phones money is low, ugh. I sigh in disappointment and returned back to where I was laying before before. My sister was beginning to speak but I shook my head before she spook. She nodded as a response and walked out of my room.

I hauled myself out of bed after a while and got ready because even though this morning may have been disappointing, I know that today will be awesome. I smiled to myself as I knew I'm never going to be the same again, I don't know if that's good or bad but I don't care. I clicked play and turned the volume as high as I can to 'crazy 4 u' on my phone and sung along even though I'm a bad singer. They are so awesome I couldn't help myself not to think. I do hope Ross was for real when he asked for my number. Maybe he lost my number or something? Anyway it was time to go shopping.

--At the Mall---

I usually find it so hard to find clothes that look good on me, but today everything looked pretty against me in the mirror. I was busy searching through the racks until I spotted a top that caught my eye. My hand pulled the hanger towards me but I could feel a force pulling the top the other way. I suddenly drop the top; it couldn't be I thought as the person on the other side said something.

The now empty space revealed the speaker's identity, Rydel Lynch. I greeted her and as soon as I spook I could hear a voice behind her call my name.

"Ross? Is that you?" I asked. I walked around the clothing rack and saw the whole Lynch family staring at me.

"So how do you two know each other?" Rydel asked looking between us, raising an eyebrow.

"I met her yesterday at the Austin and Ally set" Ross responded shrugging, staring at his phone.

"Hey, Hannah can I have your number again, I swear someone took it? It was right in my pocket and when I went to text you last night it was gone" Ross explained. I feel so stupid for thinking he forgot about me, he even remembered my name. I nodded smiling as a wrote down my number once again, this time in his phone contacts.

"Hey, are you free tomorrow cause I think Ross might want you to come over?" Rocky asked putting one of his hands on Ross's shoulder.

"Yeah, I would like that Rocky" he responded smirking a little.

"What do you say Hannah? Come on, please?" Riker begged. I stood there stunned, I was wrong, I was so wrong he doesn't feel sorry for me, he wants to be friends. I face palmed myself in my head.

"Yeah sure" I laughed. I don't care if my parents disagree I'm my own person. My sister then ran up to me and told me our parents are looking for me. I was so happy because I couldn't handle what just happened and needed to scream.

---With parents---

"Hey" I said excitedly. They looked confused asked me what happened, and I told them. Surprisingly they were okay with it. My dad though seemed to be unsure a bit, so I told him he can meet them first to assure him it's the right decision. I don't know where or when though? I don't even have the address? We then continued to shop but I didn't pay attention because I'm going to the Lynch's house! My sister suddenly oddly ran off. I, confused walked after her while my parents walked into a shop unaware. As I got closer I could see my sister talking to a group of people. I got even more confused and a little scared to be honest.

But the group of kids were actually the Lynch's again and I have calmed down from before luckily. I greeted them once again. My sister is staring at Ryland and he staring back at her. I'm not sure if I know what's happening.

"Um, Hannah what are they doing?" Riker whispered in my ear. Smiling laughing to myself, I shrugged.

"Um hey" Ryland said shyly to my sister. Riker and I looked at each other and laughed as we knew what was happening.

"Hey Ryland, why don't you ask her for her number maybe?" Riker tried encouraging putting his hands on Ryland's shoulders.

"Um yes, uh can I have your number?" he asked scratching the back of his neck. Okay I have to be honest this is the cutest moment ever. My sister wrote it down and gave it to him while the rest of us stared at them.

I looked at the path we came on and in the distance I can see my parents. I turned around and saw Riker whisper something to Ross and he nodded in response. I wonder what that was about?

"Where have you been girls?" my mom asked. Then she realised the 4 boys and girl staring at her. I just remember they haven't been introduced yet.

"Um mom, dad this is the Lynch family, Lynch family these are my parents" I say. They then shook hands and began talking. Riker and Rocky talked to my dad while Rydel talked to my mom and my sister was still talking to Ryland, so I stood there alone for a second until I felt someone grab my hand.

"Hey" Ross greeted me unnecessary, dropping my hand.

"Hey" I greeted him back. We then stared back at each other for a while smiling.

"I hope you come over, it'll be a great time" he says running his hand through his dirty blonde hair.

My dad must have stopped talking, because tapped me on the shoulder. "You can go Hannah" he told me laughing. I guess he must have had a good talk because I haven't seen him laugh in ages. "Hannah, we have to go" he then said. I still was looking into Ross's eyes and he was looking back. There we were standing in the middle of the mall staring at each other.

"Ross" I struggled to say.

"Hannah, I know" he responded laughing.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow" I told him. He nodded and walked away. I caught up to my parents after a couple of seconds.

"They're a good family" my dad said. He then looked at me.

"Hannah, cheer up you're going to see them tomorrow for goodness sake" my dad said. I know he's right but I still feel empty after leaving Ross.
