Do I love you?

Chapter 124

A few hours later

Laura:(asleep on Ross's bed in the covers)

Ross:(sitting at the side just watching her)

Rydel:(walks in) Hey Ross

Ross:(looks at her) Oh hey

Rydel:(looks at Laura) How she holding up?

Ross:(sighs) You should've seen her face. She looked so sad and hurt, she doesn't have her family anymore, we're the only ones there for her

Rydel: I understand you feel sad Ross, it's okay

Ross: Why do I feel like this is all my fault?

Rydel: It's not, so kick that feeling away

Ross: Okay

Rydel: You should get some sleep, you have school tomorrow

Ross: Right (yawns) Alright then

Rydel: Night (walks out shutting the door)

Ross:(changes for bed and gets in the covers with Laura)

Laura:(turns to him) Hey

Ross: What are you doing up?

Laura:(shrugs)

Ross:(rest his hand on her cheek rubbing her cheek with his thumb) Are you okay?

Laura:(nods) Yeah, a little

Ross: I'm sorry that happened to you

Laura: It's okay

Ross: Well we can continue this conversation l8r, let's get some sleep first

Laura:(yawns) Okay (closes her eyes and goes to sleep)

Ross:(goes to sleep too)

The Next Morning

Ross:(wakes up seeing no Laura beside him) (sits up rubbing his eyes) Laura? (walks down to the kitchen)

Stormie: Morning sweetie

Ross: Morning mom

Stormie: What are you doing in your boxers still? Go get ready for school

Ross: Oh yeah, school. Um.... have you seen Laura though?

Stormie: She's outside in the backyard

Ross: Is she alright?

Stormie: I'm not sure, she was out there when I came down

Ross: I better check up on her (About to go)

Stormie: Wait Ross, give her some time

Ross:(looks at her) Okay (sighs)

Stormie: Go get ready for school now, it's already 7:00am

Ross: Okay (goes upstairs to their room and takes a shower)

A little while later

Ross:(walks down with his and Laura's bag ready for school)

Stormie: You look nice (smiles)

Ross: If you say cute, I will kill you mom

Stormie:(playfully pushes him) Whatever

Ross: I'm gonna check up on Laur

Stormie: Here, you might as well eat while talking (hands him a plate of food)

Ross:(takes it) Thanks mom (walks out to where Laura is)

Laura:(has her back at Ross sitting on the hammock just looking up at the sky)

Ross:(walks behind her) Hey

Laura:(jumps up a bit scared) Ross, don't do that

Ross: Sorry (sits down next to her)

Laura: It's fine (relaxes again)

Ross: What time did you wake up?

Laura: 6:00am

Ross: Why didn't you wake me up?

Laura: You're not an early person really

Ross: So? I still want to know that you're okay

Laura: Of course I'm okay

Ross: Are you?

Laura:(sighs) Okay maybe not so okay

Ross: Is about what happened yesterday?

Laura: A little

Ross:(wraps his arm around her giving her a side hug) It's okay Laur

Laura: I don't have the family that I use to have in Italy, I don't know what's happening

Ross: It's just Maia messing with your parents mind, don't worry

Laura: I know but Maia wasn't this mental in Italy though. Sure she was crazy and a little mean of a sister but she was sometimes there for me, but now I don't know what's wrong with her

Ross:(rubs her arm) It's okay Laur, don't stress over this please, it's not good for you

Laura: I try to I really do but it just comes in my mind, there's no stopping it

Ross: So if you could stop it, what would it be?

Laura: To have my family the way your family is. A happy family, always spend time together, no drama or anything, just a happy family

Ross:(feels really bad) Don't worry Laur, I'll do whatever it takes for you to have your proper family

Laura:(Smiles weakly) Thanks Ross

Ross:(smiles) No problem, now let's get eating on this breakfast, my mom cooked really hard for this breakfast

Laura:(Smiles) Okay (Takes her fork and starts eating some of the food)

Ross:(does the same) (looks at her and smiles kisses her head)

Laura:(smiles blushing a bit) You're cute

Ross:(chuckles blushing a bit) No problem (checks the time on his watch) We gotta leave soon

Laura:(groans laying back on the hammock) I don't feel like going to school

Ross: Well to bad, we have to (pokes her sides)

Laura:(Giggles) Stop it! (swats his hands away)

Ross:(chuckles) You're so ticklish

Laura: So are you (tickles his sides)

Ross:(laughs) O-Okay! Stop it!

Laura:(stops smiling) And I'm the one who's ticklish. Pff please!

Ross:(rolls his eyes playfully) Whatever (shoves food in her mouth)

Laura:(glares at him)

Ross:(smiles innocently) Love you (kisses her cheek and stands up)

Laura:(swallows her food and stands up too) Where you going?

Ross: We gotta go to school genius

Laura: Ugh fine! (walks inside)

Ross:(chuckles and walks inside)
