I loved everything about him...

The first thing that had me melt all over him like a popsicle on the Fourth of July, was that smile.
That fucking smile would always cheer me up. His muscles were so strong. His personality? Perfect.
I stopped then when I became 20 or 21 years old around that age. I knew that it could lead up to nothing. He will never even like me. Boy, was I wrong...I was at the piano playing some notes and jotting more notes and working on a song that the melody got stuck on my head for today. I see Dylan taking a picture of me...let's just hope my back isn't bad.

"Hey you and lover boy have almost the same position, sort of," He smiles while looking at the camera. "Come here."

I sigh and get up from the piano and follow Dylan behind him and go to his laptop and while it's loading I think of some lyrics.

Heart's beatin' faster, might need surgery
Natural disaster, takin' over me
And I stutter, vision bl-blurry
Ain't no other.... brings me to my knees
Gets so hot whenever we're alone,
I can't say I'm in love
No, I won't

Dope....

I gasp. "One momento Dyl!"

I the. Run back to the piano and look for my songbook. Papers were flying everywhere, but right now all I cared was writing those lyrics. I found my songbook finally and opened it and write the lyrics in a clean new page. Yes! Now just put them together and try to make sense.

"So thought of some lyrics already?" He looks away from the screen and focuses on me.

"Yeah although, I'm not so sure how to put them together." I say.

"Don't worry you'll think of something," Dylan smiles at me. "Hey let me take a look at-"

I cut him off. "Don't touch my book!"

"Ah classic Laura." He sighs while I giggle.

"So let's see those photos." I say.

He nods and opens his laptop and opens a new screen and I see a photo of Me and Ross but not showing our face but our backs.

"Looks pretty good," I compliment him. "Do you know what to call it?"

"Well, I'm trying to get a lot of pics and videos into one display and probably figure what to call it later..."

"Hey Dylan I was wondering if-" He then looks at me and stays silent.

I didn't realize he came into the dining room.

Dylan notices also and shuts his laptop.

"Well, Laura Cameron can help you with your new unfinished song and I still have to edit my photos," Dylan suggests. "Good luck!"

Dylan grabs all of his stuff and runs upstairs.

I then close my book and go back to the piano and see a mess of papers all over the floor and picked them up I try to grab one but my fingers touches Cameron's I pull my hand away and Cameron sighs.

"Look Laura, I don't want anything awkward around us okay? I just wanted to let you know that I still like you," He says. "And I understand how your with Ross but I can't promise you that my feelings for you haven't changed still."

I nodded and stacked up my papers on the coffee table.

"So how about that new song your working on?" Cam smiles at me.

We both sat down at the piano.

"Oh yeah I have a part of the lyrics I just don't know how to put the rest."
I tore a blank sheet of notebook paper and copy the lyrics I mesmerized in my head and in my songbook. Once I was done writing, I give the sheet of paper to Cameron.

"Heart's beatin' faster, might need surgery
Natural disaster, takin' over me
And I stutter, vision bl-blurry
Ain't no other.... brings me to my knees
Gets so hot whenever we're alone,
I can't say I'm in love
No, I won't."

Cameron then looks at me and smiles.

"It's a great start but with those lyrics it should be changed. How about um here." He puts the paper on the side and starts playing.

"Heart's beatin' faster, might need some surgery
Natural disaster, you're takin' over me
And I st-st-stutter, vision bl-blurry
There ain't no other that brings me to my knees
And it gets so hot whenever we're alone,
But I can't say I'm in love
No, I won't ."

I smile and nodded and grabbed my songbook and write it down. "It's amazing thank you!" I hugged him and look at him.

"You're beautiful." He whispers.

He started to lean but thanks to my phone he jumped and pulled away. Oh thank you phone!! I take my phone out of my pocket and see it was from Ross.

Ross - Hey Dylan texted me earlier about your new song that you're working on. If you want, but you totally don't have to, I can help you."

I decided to text him back.

Laura - • • •

Laura - Sure I don't mind at all.

Ross - •••

Ross - Great. Be there in ten.

I put my phone away and looked at Cameron who was no longer here. I sighed. I put my papers in a folder and then put them in my backpack. Soon, I got my songbook and note sheets also put them inside there. As soon as I was done, I grabbed my phone and my backpack and hear the doorbell and I opened the door to see Ross smiling at me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"So are you ready to go?" He asks me. "Here let me help you."

He takes the backpack out of my hands and I grabbed my blue windbreaker and nodded.

"Okay I'm ready to go." We then leave the house and go to his car and drive to his house.

I've never been to his house...Well, only a couple of times but he and his siblings probably got a new one so, I don't know how this house probably looks like....
Probably better than Dylan's and ours.

I remember when I moved in the first time...

Flashback...

Wow his house looks so big.

"Before we go in I'm sorry about them. They had no right for you to leave you alone by yourself. I luckily got you there in time because otherwise they would take you forever and I just want you to make sure you're okay so, would you sign this paper when we get inside that I'll hand you?" He asks looking right at me.

"Well, I'll have to find out first what it's about." I chuckle.

"Welcome to casa de Dyl!"

Once he opened the door my eyes were amazed by how his place had everything. Our Mom and Dad before they were complete jerks to leave me, had a few but nonetheless had everything we need for a small family but left me for the money.

"Wow, it's beautiful." I looked around.

"Thanks come follow me." He says.

I nod and he carries my suitcases. We were at this room that had quite everything which was food to keep us for the whole winter!

"Technically, for two months,"

I widened my eyes. Did I just..

"Thinking out loud? Yes you did." He chuckles.

I roll my eyes playfully.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted me to be your official guardian or be in a foster home where a family can raise you right," He scratched the back of his head. "So what do you think?"

I covered my mouth with my hands and I was shocked. I thought no one would have adopted me and I cried my eyes out and hugged him so tightly. "Do I have to say yes a thousand times because if I have to I will. Yes!!"

That day was the best thing that ever happened to me. I thought that I would never be happy. But now that Dylan came in, I couldn't be any happier.

End of flashback.

We then walked inside after the ride.

"Hold, hold on hold on to me Cause I'm a little unsteady a little unsteady.."I hear a voice singing one of the X Ambassadors' songs, Unsteady.

"Wow that sounded amazing." I say.

"Ahh!!" The brunette shrieks. "A girl!!"

"Sorry?" I was confused. Has he ever seen a girl before? I'm not sure.

"Ah I'm sorry about him he's just weird." Rydel then appears. "Hi Laura? I think we've met each other a few days ago."

"Yeah. You used to come by our house for Vanessa's sleepovers.."

Rydel nods and winks playing along.. She knew about my crush with Ross.

Another guy comes in and gasps. "Ooh it's a girl and she looks pretty. She even smells pretty."

Thank you?

"Wanna hear us play something?!" Another brunette boy pops up.

I scream and fall on the couch.

They then gathered their instruments and start playing unsteady.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

It was crazy amazing how they sounded! They were angels.

"So,......you like?" A brunette asks.

"Oh Rocky stop asking," a blond boy asks. "Also, you loved?"

"Uhhhh...hehe...uhhh..." I was lost for words I don't remember none of these people except Rydel.

"Laura?!" A voice yells.

"Gotta go bye!!" I turned my heel and run into the kitchen.

I try to catch my breath and I see a woman humming a Frank Sinatra song. I love Franky and his beautiful angelic voice.

"Oh hello there dear! Are you one of Rydel's girlfriends? Care for some cherry chocolate cake?"
She offers.

Before I could shake my head 'no', She shoved a spoon in my mouth. It tasted really good if you asked me. She takes the spoon out of my mouth and then goes back to making more food. I then leave to another room which was more peaceful than the other ones. I then see a man sitting down and working on a model of a plane. This was definitely better than the other rooms. He looks up at me and smiles.

"Sit my dear and please don't be shy."

I grab a chair and looked at him constructing his wonderful model.

"Ugh Sorry to interrupt you but I just gotta say that the Taylor-craft is one of my favorite planes.."

He looks up at me and studied me for a bit. "I want a quick answer; what can fly at Mach 2 speeds above 50,000 feet while being able to withstand 9 Gs?"

"Uh hello the F-16? That was very easy to answer." I chuckled.

He looks at me surprised. "I don't know who you are but I love your admiration for planes."

"Umm, thank you sir?"

"You may leave if you'd like." He smiles.

I nodded and left. I bumped into a certain brunette who looked kind of older than me.

"Hi I'm Ellington," He smiles. "And whom may I ask are you?"

"The names Laura." I give him a smile in return. "Weren't you just singing a couple of minutes ago?"

"Yeah and right now I'm thirsty." He says. "Care for a Powerade?"

"Sure."

"Alrighty follow me!" He screams in delight.

I chuckle and followed him up to what's seems like his bedroom I think.

"Cool room." I looked around.

"Thanks but this ain't mine," He bents down and opens the mini fridge and grabs two different types of flavored drinks.

"Lime or grape?" He asks.

"Grape." I picked.

He tosses me the drink and I surprisingly caught it.

"T-Thanks." I twist the cap off.

"No problem."

"So I know for a fact that you aren't sibling related to the Lynches." I closed the bottle. "Who are you?"

"Now how would you know if I'm related to them? I could be their brother you know??"

"There aren't any pictures of you in here and you have a T-shirt saying; When there are Lynches, there's always a Ratliff!!"

He looks down at his shirt and groans. "Man you're really good."

"Just my specialty at guessing."

We chuckled.

"Laura!!" A voice yells.

"Oh that's my cue," I run to the door and I looked at him once more. "Thanks again!"

"No problem!" He waves.

I closed the door behind me and I see that Ross was looking for me downstairs talking to his siblings. I accidentally tripped and go into another room. I looked up to see a beautiful room with so many cool pictures and posters of my favorite artists and bands. On one side there were a list of guitars and they were labeled. On the other was a huge shelf of trophies that this person won and certificates that this person has received. Wow impressive.

"Impressive indeed." A voice behinds me says.

I turned around to see the person who has touched my heart.

"R-Ross-I-I uhh..." I stuttered.

"Shh..." He whispers at me. "It's alright Laura. No need to be nervous."

He rubbed both of my arms. He sure knew how to make a girl feel relaxed.

"So let's get started shall we?"

I nodded.

_________

"So welcome to our Studio!" He smiles.

I looked around and I was fascinated by all this.

The piano was the only thing that mesmerized me.

"She's a beauty isn't she?" My eyes never left the instrument.

"Yeah but the only person who's beauty right now is you Laura."

I turned around and looked at him.

"You're so cliche that it's cute." I punched his arm.

He chuckles. "Sorry for being me!"

"No it's okay you hopeless romantic," I laughed. "It's kind of sweet."

We exited out the recording booth.

He smiles. "Can I sing you a song?"

"Oh is the famous Ross Lynch trying to serenade me?" I fake gasped. "I would love that!"

"You deserve to be serenaded by millions of guys." He pulls out some headphones and hands them to me. "Just let me know what you think about it."

Ross then leaves and sits down on the piano.

I was sitting on a stool and I could see a good view from him. I put on the headphones and I saw him adjusting his microphone. After that, he then looks over at me. "Laura Marano, this song goes out for you."

He starts playing.

"I'm like that boombox outside of your window
I'm that Delorean blowing past 88
And where we're going girl,
Won't be needing roads 'cause,
This ain't no 50 first dates."

He looks at me still singing.

"I'm talking about starting out as friends
I'm talking about real and not pretend
I'm talking about roles of a life time
You and I can even right the end, yeah
Here comes that movie scene
The one you think is so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world,
Here comes forever girl,
Here comes forever,
Here comes forever girl.
This ain't no remake of a Romeo story
Ain't no werewolf trying to steal you away
I'll be your A-list, be the man on the moon 'cause
Me and you out of space
I'm talking about starting out as friends
I'm talking about real and not pretend
I'm talking about roles of a life time
You and I can even right the end, yeah
Here comes that movie scene
The one you think is so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world
Here comes forever girl
Na na na nana-na nana-na nana-na
Na na na nana-na nana-na nana-na
Na na na nana-na
Let's go home together
Play our roles forever
Let's grow old together
Here comes, here comes,
Here comes forever baby
Here comes forever girl
Here comes that movie scene
The one you think is so cliché
That moment when we kissed
By the lake pouring rain
I ain't no superman
But I can change your world
Here comes forever girl
Here comes forever
Here comes forever girl (Forever and ever and ever and ever)
Here comes forever girl."

You know how people get heart attacks from the most weirdest causes? Yeah this is not one of them.
I smiled happily at the blonde and I started crying.

He comes over to hug me and kisses my forehead.

"Laura I really like you and I really want you to be with me and I don't care how long it takes. I want to know if you are willing to be my girlfriend?"

Oh how my heart says 'Yes! Yes! Yes!', but my mind say another thing.

"Ross listen um, I really appreciate you for taking the time and putting all your effort for writing this song, but um... I still need more time to think."

What the hell Laura??

Ross smiled and nodded.

Why??

We then started working on the song.

"Heart's beatin' faster, might need some surgery
Natural disaster, you're takin' over me
And I st-st-stutter, vision bl-blurry
There ain't no other that brings me to my knees..
And it gets so hot whenever we're alone,
But I can't say I'm in love
No, I won't
I don't know what love is,
But I know I've never felt like this
Your kiss is magic
Like a circle, yeah, it's perfectness
And I can say yes, tell you "Me too"
You say it first, it's easy for you
Even though I know that it's true,
I can't say I'm in love
(Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah!)
Even though I know that it's true,
(Woah-ah-oo-woah)
I can't say I'm in love
Pa-paranoia, it's runnin' through my veins
I got to know ya, that was the end for me
And I know I got ya holding onto words that I can't say
And everything ya feel for me, just know I feel the same
I don't know what love is,
But I know I've never felt like this
Your kiss is magic
Like a circle, yeah, it's perfectness
And I can say yes, tell you "Me too"
You say it first, it's easy for you
Even though I know that it's true,
I can't say I'm in love
(Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah!)
Even though I know that it's true,
(Woah-ah-oo-woah)
I can't say I'm in love
Open up my heart, open up my mind
Everything is changed to color from black and white
Everything I see is a new reality
Baby, is this love?

Yeah, is this love? Is this love?
Yeah, this is love!
I know what love is,
And I know I've never felt like this
Your kiss is magic
Like a circle, yeah, it's perfectness
I can say yes, tell you "Me too"
I'll say it first, only for you
I can say yes, tell you "Me too"
I'll say it first, only for you
I'm starting to realize that it's true
(Woah-ah-oo-woah)
I'll say it first, only for you
(Woah-ah-oo-woah)
There's only one thing left to do
(Say!)
Baby, I love you
(Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah-ah-ah-oah-woah, woah! Woah!)
Baby, I'm in love with you (Woah! Woah!)
(Woah-ah-oo-woah)
Baby, I love you..."

When Ross sung the last part, I wasn't sure how to feel about it. Maybe he didn't thought about it too much. I however, couldn't sing the ending because maybe my love for him wasn't enough maybe I don't deserve being with him. Maybe I lost all hope and interest in him.

"Umm well thank you again for this wonderful session Ross..I, I um really need to get going because I don't want to worry Dylan and I should be heading home..

I had texted Cameron to pick me up two hours ago and he was fine with it.

"Hey Laura, wait up!"

"Yes Ross?" I turned around

"Look, I was wondering if you would like to join me on Saturday for this party we're throwing?"

"Are you asking me out to be your date to this party?"

"Yes?" He played with fingers.

"Umm I don't know Ross I have a very busy schedule but I'll see what I can do.."

"Okay." Ross said. "I'll walk you out."

I nodded and grabbed my stuff and We exited the studio. When we got to the door, right before we left, the family shouted something that made me blush.

"Goodbye Raura!!" The laugh.

Oh dear why must this happen to me?

Ross turned around and glared at his family and then faced me smiling. I grabbed his hand and we were outside. He closed the door behind him.

"I'm really sorry about them." He scratches the back of his neck. "They are really good people yet sometimes are kinda crazy-" I kissed his cheek.

Ross was now blushing crazy hard right now.

"It's okay Ross I don't mind." I smiled kindly at him.

Ross' smile widens and holds both of my hands. Just then we both hear a honk.

I turned around to see Cameron getting out of his car and looks at me. "Ready to go Laurie?"

I let go of Ross' hands and then faced Cameron.

I mouthed at him a; "wtf?"

"Dylan says that we need to discuss about your photoshoot tomorrow."

"Oh um yes." I glared at him and then I turned to Ross. "Well Ross, I'll catch you later."

Ross nods at me and glared at Cameron.

"Careful Laura!" Ross shouts.

"She already is Lynch." Cameron yells.

"Cameron stop please." I whispered.

Cameron looks down at me and opens the passenger seat and once I get in, he closes it and he gets on the other side. Why must Cameron pick me up in his expensive ass Lamborghini??

_____________

The ride home was silent and I kept looking at the window ignoring Cameron.

We then made it back to our house.

"Hey Laurie how was your..."

I ignored him and ran up the stairs going to my room and slamming the door. I leaned against my door and I sighed.
The one time I ask for a love life and everything goes wrong. I lay on my bed and I hug a pillow. Why can't I say 'I love you Ross Shor Lynch!'!!? Ugh! I groan and squeeze my pillow more. A knock interrupts my thoughts.

"Go away Cam.."

Another knock..

"Cam please go away-oh sorry who are you??" I opened the door to reveal a black raven girl.

"Hi Laurette.." She grins.

And that's when everything went white...

Haii!!
