Coming Home •Ross Lynch• •Raura•

I'm here

Ross' POV

I stare at Laura in amazement as she finished her story. It was long. So long we got in the car and drove back home and made popcorn. She throws some popcorn at me. "Stop staring at me like I'ma lost puppy." I smile at her and throw some popcorn back. "How come you never called me? I would've kicked Anthony's ass." She swats my chest. "I didn't want to start all over with my healing process." She trails off. "Do you mind explaining?" Laura sighs and lays her head on my chest as I wrap my arms around her.
"My healing process is to heal a broken heart, or spirit. I put anything away that reminded me of you, I got rid of pictures and our messages. I kept everything though. Just hidden, I guess that's the reason why I couldn't complete the last step." I rub her arm and kiss her head.
"What's the last step?" She buries her head into my chest. "The last step is to get rid of the memory.. As if you didn't exist. Of course I couldn't go through with it, I'm a weak human being." I feel her tears through my shirt as she cries. A healing process just to forget me. If I would have known that all of this shit was going to happen I never would've left her. I would have supported her as she went through the hardships. I try to think of something to cheer her up.
"Laura?" I shake her arm a little. "Hmm?" Laura sniffles. "You said you hid the stuff of me, where is it?' Laura gets up and smile sheepishly at me. "Under the floorboards with the spiders." I laugh a little. "Well those spiders must enjoy my hot pics." Laura looks down at her hand smirking. "Not as much as they like my nudes." She mutters. I gasp at her choice of words then burst out with laughter. "Do you want to see them?" she says while her eyes light up with excitement. "Your nudes?" She swats my chest. "No! Ugh Ross! My memory box of you." I start laughing at her blush. "Yeah let's go see the adolescence of me."
Laura runs to her room tripping over a pillow in the hallway but continues running as if nothing happened. She sits on her knees on her bed room floor and pulls back her carpet. She runs her hand over the hardwood floor in search of something. She finds a tiny thread and begins to pull. A big block of wood comes up to reveal a big yellow box. "I thought you were joking about it being under the floorboards." I say quietly. Laura shakes her head as she lifts the box out of the tiny space. I look down in the hole to see there is more items. I was going to ask but one of the boxes labeled 'Dad' told me not to.
"You open it." Laura shoves the box in my direction. I wipe the dust off of the box to uncover the words 'Ross'.
"You sure?" Laura stares at it for awhile before nodding her head slowly. "Positive."
I lift the lid carefully because the box feels as if it were about to crumble. I open the box to see stacks of the notes me and Laura would pass on set. Some SD cards which I'm guessing are from her phone. I see birthday cards I've sent her and the first flower I gave her, all shriveled and dried up. I open one of the note and read it aloud to Laura. I know which one it is too because I sent this one first.
Ross:'Did you ever notice how short you are?'
Laura:' No Ross I didn't notice at all.'
Ross:' What are you doing later?'
Laura:'I'm getting a bunch of heels to make myself taller.'
Ross: 'No seriously!'
Laura: Absolutely nothing... why?
Ross: 'I'm going to take us out.'
Laura: 'oo, good I'm craving pasta.
Ross: Of course you are

I look up at Laura who is just sitting there with a blank expression flipping through pictures. I crawl over and sit behind her letting her lean against my chest as she sits between my legs. The photos are the ones we took on our dates and there are also random magazine articles that say Raura on them. She's just looking at them one by one. But she stops at on photo. I'm kissing her cheek and her eyes are closed, content and at ease. "This is my favorite one." She speaks quietly. I put my head down right by her face and kiss her cheek just like the photo. But I feel her tears as I kiss her. "Laura we don't have to look at these anymore." I rub her arm trying to comfort her. She shakes her head. "Ross? Will we ever go back to this?" She whispers, not trusting her voice. I kiss her cheek again. "I hope so." I whisper back. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for trying to erase you Ross." She say sniffling. I stand up and pick Laura up and sit her on the bed. "Laura, you don't need to apologize for anything. I did this to you, I broke you, and I will do anything I can to fix you." I pulled her arm for a hug, which she granted. She silently cries into my chest. "It's okay Laura, I'm here, always here."
