Ross's POV

I inserted another coin and called Laura. It rang longer than it should've but just as I was about to hang up and try again she answered.

"Laura?" I said.

"What happened last night?" she asked, "why did you hang up on me?"

"My phone died."

I heard her sigh in relief.

"So...what were you asking me last night?"

"Are you doing this because...you don't want to choose her and get stuck with...me?"

Dammit! I thought, I don't know how to answer this and make it make sense!

"Ross?"

"I'm still here."

"Well...are you?"

"I love you Laura. But I love Courtney to...it'll just be easier if...if I have options...I don't want to make the wrong choise again."

"Again?"

"Long story...I can't waste the next 5 hours explaining when I should be...thinking of a way to stop Courtney without being seen."

"Okay...I understand."

The line went dead. I hung up the phone and came out. I walked to the city square already thinking about what I'm going to do.
