Laura's POV

I snuck up the side of the mansion until I reached Ross's window. It was broken. I looked inside and found him sitting on the floor crying. He didn't look up at me.

"H-hi," I stuttered.

That's when he looked up. He didn't reply. He just looked back down. I climbed in and sat next to him. He took his wedding ring off and looked at it. I wondered if he was about to just throw it away and forget about it.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He shook his head. After a few seconds he finally got up and threw the ring out the window.

"Why'd you do that?"

He still didn't answer. He just slid his back down the wall.

"Why aren't you answering me?"

He looked up at me again. The look in his eyes was hurt and vulnerable. He looked down again and sighed.

"Can you please tell me what happened?"

"I thought you already new," he finally responded.

"It's hard to watch you with Maia constantly watching me."

"Oh." His voice was a bit hoarse.

"What happened?"

"You're going to hate me if I say it."

"Ross I could never hate you...now."

"Courtney hates me." A tear slid down his face as he said that.

"I'm not like Courtney. You can tell me. I promise I won't get mad."

"I wouldn't make any promises if I were you...cause I did something that will make you hate me more than Courtney does."
