Chapter 9-Liking

~Laura

I wake up with a pounding headache. I open my eyes in a room I've never seen before.

"Good your awake." Ross says handing me an ice pack. "Where am I?" I ask wincing from the coldness from the ice pack against my forehead.

"My room." He sighs. "What happened?" I ask trying to look at him. "Well, I went to go the bathroom and the next thing I knew you were drunk at the mini bar." I shrug.

"Wow... Did anything else happen?" He sits down next to me. "N-no." He stammers. I felt like he was lying but I shrugged it off. "Oh okay." I out my head down.

"How are you feeling?" He turns to me. "My head still hurts." I lean my head on his shoulder. "Well, when it starts to feel better I'm going to drive you home." He puts his arm around my shoulder.

"Okay. Um what time is it?" I ask. "About 3 am." He looks at his clock. "I have to go now." I stand up. "Don't worry. My sister called your parents asking if it was okay if you spent the night. Luckily they said yes." He chuckles slightly.

"Okay good." I sit back down. "I never had anytime to say this last night but." He scratches the back of his neck. "You look beautiful." He says awkwardly putting his head down shyly.

"Thanks." I blush. Wait why am I blushing.

"Y-you looked good too." I stammer. "Thanks." He smiles at me.

Once Ross dropped me off at my house I called Raini right away, well after saying a hello to my parents first.

"Hey want to spend the night?" I ask. "What ever happened to a hello?" She says. "Hello." I chuckle.

"Hi, yeah let me pack my stuff, send me your address." She says before hanging up. After I text her my address I text her "What ever happened to a goodbye?" I tease her.

She sends me a simple. "Haha." 10 to 15 minutes later I hear knocking.

"Hey." I hug her. "Hi." She hugs back. "I have so much to tell you!" I say with widened eyes pulling her up my stairs.

Once I got we were in my room I locked the door while she sat on my bed.

I sit next her and just come out and say it. "I got drunk." "What?!" She stands up.

"Thee Laura Marie Marano got dru-" I cut her off by covering her mouth. "Shh. My parents are downstairs." I whisper. "Sorry, forgot." She replies.

"How did that happen?" She whispers. "Well...." I explain everything that happened last night. Including those awkward moments with Ross...

"Wow." She breaths. "Yup... I don't know what happened after I went to find Ross... But he says I got drunk." I nod. "Well, I guess that would make sense." She agrees.

"I just can't believe I would do something like that." I put my head down. "Laura it's okay everyone makes mistakes." She comforts me. "Thanks." I look at her.

"So... Ross, huh?" She raises an eyebrow. "What about him?" I get up and place out clothes to wear for today. "Do you like him?" She asks.

When she asked I had my dirty laundry basket in my hands then dropped it on my foot. "Ouch!" I grab my foot causing my laundry basket to fall over.

"W-why would you ask t-that?" I stammer still holding onto my foot. "I don't know... Maybe because you two have those kind of moments in a movie." She shrugs.
