Because Of You A Raura & Rinessa Love Story (Book One) *MAJOR EDITING*

Aftermath

Laura's POV/

     We all got home safe and sound. Me and Vanessa had gauze wrapped around our wrist. Me and Vanessa go upstairs. We all had a rough day. Especially since our mom died. Vanessa and I still can't believe that she's gone. She took a bullet for me. I will always love her even if she doenst love me. She risked her life for me. I just wish she was here. And I'm sure Vanessa wished the same thing. Then Ross, Riker, Rydel and Rocky ran up to us. "Hey girlies" Rydel said and hugged us. "Hey" we said plainly. Ross took me in his room and I let the tears flow. He gives me a bear hug and I cry in his shoulder. "I miss her" I cry out. "It's ok baby, but remember (He lifts my chin up) My moom will be your mom too. My dad will be your dad too. They already think of you and Vanessa as their kid anyway" He tries comforting me. I say "I guess so" and he wraps his arms around me. I nuzzle up to him, then Rydel comes into the room. "Hey guys, we're gonna watch a movie downstairs. You guys can some if you want." We nod and head downstairs.

Vanessa's POV/

     Laura got pulled in Ross's room and I got pulled into Riker's. I look back and I see Rydel and Rocky stood there with confused faces then they went downstairs. "Look Ness, I know you miss your mom. Please don't be glum and just let your emotions out" he said me. I run up to him and I cry on his shoulder. "Let it all out" he says to me while stroking my hair. "I just miss her. Laura and I dont have a mother. Even a father" I cry out. "My mom and dad will always be there for you and Laura. She doesnt think of you and Laura as our girlfriends. She thinks off you guys as her kids as well as my dad" he says to me. I wipe my tears and say 'Really?" He smiles at me and says "100%" I ket out a smiles and he plants a sweet soft kiss on my lips. Rocky comes in and says "Hey guys ----- Oh, am interrupting something? he says. "Nah, just talking" Riker says. "Cool, we're gonna watch a movie downstairs, wanna join? he says. I get up and so does Riker. We go downstairs at the same time Ross and Laura get ther, as well at Rydel. We see the movie and me, Rydel and Laura squeal. "FROZEN! YES!!!!" Then we all hurry to the couch. I make space for Riker and Laura makes space for Ross. They boys just look at us weirdly and they rolls their eyes. The girls stick their tounges out at them and so do the boys.
