"this is your fault again!" my father shouted at me

we were in the hospital with my siblings and ross, he caught a flight back with me for a few days

"how?!" i cried

"you never said goodbye" my mums fragile voice spoke

i looked over at her in disbelief

"i am now" i shouted

as i went to walk over to her, the line on the machine, it went flat.

"your not" mason said with no monotone

i felt ross' arm on my lower back, i turned on my heel and faced him; he was shaking his head

i shook my head before breaking down into his chest

"your dads right" was all he said.

this time, when i woke up i didn't shoot up from my
position, i layed there with my eyes wide open

i looked over to my side to see ross fast asleep; his mouth open slightly as he was holding onto my waist

i turned slightly and started playing his hair; trying to distract myself but it wasn't long before he opened his eyes

"baby?" his voice breaking

"hey" i smiled weakly

"why are you awake?" he said closing his eyes again

"bad dream"

he opened his eyes again and looked me straight in the eyes; them filled with worry

"i think i need to go home" i nodded my head slowly closing my eyes

he sighed; knowing i was right.

"i'm coming" he mumbled

i shook my head "i'll be okay"

he sat up slightly and looked at me dead in the eyes again; with a demanding smile

"you cant stop me from coming with you"

"i will, trust me" i laughed a little

he shook his head "i'm going to talk to my parents"

i took my hand and rubbed it against his cheek "only if your sure"

"i am, definitely, your more important"

i pecked him quickly before he rushed out off bed, i watched him stumble whilst putting some grey joggers on with a white shirt, he ruffled his hair in the mirror before looking back at me

i laughed a little and shook my head before he ran out the door

i got up out of bed with a lot of effort, i went to the bathroom and redid my messy bun before brushing my teeth; never know

i packed the mess that me and ross had made in our hotel room, i soon heard the door click

i was leaned over as i finished packing some clothes for ross; his family were taking his main suitcase onto the van so he didn't have to carry it around la.

i felt someone's arms creep around my waist from behind, i leaned up slowly and melted into their touch

"ready?" ross mumbled into my neck

i looked up at him with my eyebrows furrowed "they're okay with it?"

he nodded "they understand"
