Forgotten Girl (NOT FULL STORY)

Chapter 69

Ross' POV

After the award show, we went back to our hotel. "What a night" Rydel said, flopping down onto her bed. "You can say that again" Laura said, flopping down beside her. "Well I'm gonna go to our room and change" Riker said. "Same" Rocky said. Then all the boys except me left to our room. "Yeah I wanna change too.." Rydel said, getting up. "Then go change" Laura giggled, sitting up. "I will, be back in a few minutes. It's gonna take at least 10 minutes to take all this make up off" Rydel laughed then went to the bathroom. Me and Laura both looked at each other and smiled. "Soo how does it feel to win?" I asked, walking towards the bed. "Amazing! I can't believe I actually won" Laura said, smiling. "Well believe it" I said, stoping at the footboard of the bed. "You know what I really don't believe?" She asked, tilting her head a bit. "What? That you only won one award" I chuckled, sitting down at the edge of the bed beside her. "No" She giggled. "That you guys didn't win" She added. "Oh..well now that I really think of it. I'm not surprised" I told her, shrugging. "Why not? You guys are amazing!"
"Yah but not as amazing as One Direction. I don't even know what I was thinking! That we could actually beat them..." I said, looking at the floor. "Don't say that Ross. You guys are just as amazing as One Direction, and if not, more amazing!" Laura said, her hand on my shoulder. looked up at her and smiled. "Thanks Laura, you're always there to make me feel better" I told her, meaning it. She never fails to make me smile. "No problem Ross" She said, smiling at me. Then we kinda just smiled at each other for a few seconds. "Ross..can I tell you something?" Laura said, looking a little more serious. "Yah sure, anything" I said. "What if I told you I still-"
"I'm back guys!" Rydel said, exiting the bathroom in a t-shirt and sweatpants. "Turns out it didn't take 10 minutes" She laughed. "Hey" Me and Laura said at the same time. "What'd I miss?" She asked, sitting on the couch. "Nothing really" I answered. "Well I'm gonna go change now, this dress is getting uncomfortable" Laura said, getting up and walking towards the bathroom. "Wait Laura!" I said, getting up and catching up to her. She turned around and waited for me to continue. "I..." I started, staring into her eyes. "...Actually, nevermind" I said, turning back around to go back to the bed. "What is it Ross?" Laura asked, grabbing my hand and turning me around. "I..just wanted to say..." I started, nervously. She stared at me, waiting for me to continue. "That you look beautiful" I said, half smiling at her. "Thanks Ross, that means a lot coming from you" Laura said, smiling back. Then she went into the bathroom to change. "What just happened?" I thought, staring blankly at the bathroom door. I felt like I could tell her but I didn't... Maybe I just shouldn't tell her. "Sorry love birds but there's no animals allowed in the building" Rydel laughed, walking to my side. "That's not even funny" I said, even thought it kinda was. "Aw come on, I know you still like Laura" She whispered, so Laura wouldn't hear. "I don't" I said, walking passed her. "Ross, you can't keep lying to yourself" Rydel said, following me to the couch. "I'm not lying" I told her, sitting down on the couch. "Then why do you act like you like her?" Rydel asked, crossing her arms and glaring at me. "Man, she got me there" I thought. "Fine! You got me!" I sighed, rolling my eyes. "I like Laura, big deal" I shrugged. "Big deal? It is a big deal! You have a girlfriend!"
"I know! That's why I try to ignore my feelings for her! I really wanna be with Brooke! I don't wanna go back to how it was when Brooke first arrived in LA" I said, not too loud so Laura doesn't hear. "Okay, well what if we find Laura a boyfriend? Then she'll no longer be single and maybe it'll help you get over her?" Rydel suggested. I thought about it for a few seconds. "Nah, I don't wanna rush her into finding the right guy. I'll just get over it myself, thanks for your help though" I said, getting up to leave. "Fine, but whatever you do, don't break Brooke's heart again. Please." She said, seeming like she really meant it. "Don't worry, I won't" I said, smiling then left the room. As much as I love Laura, I love Brooke more and I wanna be with her. Hopefully I can get over Laura as soon as possible.
