Laura'sPOV
"Yeah, I think she's fine, she just sleeping it off." I looked over at my mother where Ross laid her down on the couch, I looked back at the screen at Vanessa who had a very somber look.
"What's wrong?" She wipes at her eyes and shakes her head.
"I'm getting out next month." I smiled.
"That's good! Aren't you excited!" She tucked her hair behind her ears and wiped at her eyes some more.
"No, I'm terrified. T-This place makes me feel secure and safe. I'm afraid that if I go back out into the world I would want to go back to that escape, I'd want to go back to consuming pills and taking drugs just to feel again. A-and all the tabloids and paparazzi are going to be on my ass as soon as I'm out. I'm not ready." She looked off behind the computer staring off into space.
"You're ready. You've thought of all of those possibilities, which means that you're prepared for each outcomes. God has a plan for each of us." My sister frowned and looked directly in my eyes.
"How could you still have faith in this "God" that has made your life a living hell?" My brows knitted together.
"He knows what I can handle." She scoffs.
"Then why did you try to kill yourself?" I gasped.
"How do you know about that?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"I went through your memos on your phone last time you visited, look I have to go." I glowered at her and said my goodbyes and shut the laptop harshly.

I looked back over at my mom to see she was staring at me with concern.

"Hi, sorry if I woke you." She sat up from the couch and walked over to sit by me. She gave me an awkward sie hug and rubbed at my shoulder.

"I miss her. Do you think I should be there when she gets out?" I sighed.

"I don't think that's the best idea. She need to be on her own for awhile." My mother nodded her head and stood up.

"I'm going to go talk to Ross." I raised my brow at her adn asked her why.

"I just need to ask him something about New York. Me and Eli were planing on going down there in Febuary." I nodded my head and got up as well and streched.

"I'm going to bed early. Tell Ross I said goodnight" My mom kissed my forehead and headed off downstairs.

Ross' POV

"Yeah the power steering is all jacked up, I'm going to take it in next week." I felt at the leather steering wheel of his 2016 camero.

"Hey Ross? Can I talk to you?" I look up to see Laura's mother at the garage door.

"Yeah. How are you feeling?" She shrugged her shoulders.

"Its happened before, so it's nothing really new." I sat down at the tabel and she got us glasses of water.

"So what you want to talk about." She sipped from her glass momentairly before speaking.

"Well, there's something I wanted to give you, well it's actually for Laura but- just- here." She shoved a tiny velvet box into my hands. I looked up at her and she was waiting for me to open it. I pinched the tiny box with my thumb and index finger. Inside was a tiny gold ring with a heart diamond, I almost dropped the box at the sight of "Tiffany & Co." It had diamonds all around the band but the heart had the shiniest one.

"It was the engagement ring her father gave to me." Her voice sounded horase. I looked up to see her looking at the box with tears threatening to flow.

"I-I can't take this from you." She shook her head and laughed.

"I need to do this Ross." I began to feel empathy for her. She lost the person who she thought she was going to lie the rest of her life with, and now all she has is the memory of him. I can understand why, it killed me a month after I left Laura to find a pair of her old gloves in one of my jacket pockets.

But the more I started thinking I realized, she wants me to propose.

"This is really happening, isn't it?" Ellen smiled.

"They way you stared at her in that record store, I knew it was either you're waiting for the right time or you're a wuss!" I laughed too but I then got serious.

"But, I can't- I can't lose her again." Ellen nodded her head and grabbed my hand firmly.

"And you never will, if you keep her in your heart."

"Always"
