I'm Only Me When I'm With You (Raura) *EXTREME EDITING*

Chapter 24

Sage P.O.V.

"So who are you going to be staying with?" I avoided his eyes, "A friend." He nodded. "Who?" I was getting annoyed and he could tell. "I just wanna suprise you sometimes." I smiled. "Thing is..." Riker looked shocked. "You're not staying with him....right?" I avoided his eyes not wanting him to get mad. "I'm staying with Rowan."

"You can't stay with him, he'll make you do things again and be bad." I laughed, "Riker, I'm not a goodie goodie." He smiled. "He hurt you before, he can do it again." My eyes started to water. "I'm stronger now, he can't hit me."

Riker didn't seem convinced. "If it will make you feel better, you can drive me." Riker shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I can't watch you set yourself up for pain and hurting." Riker started to walk away. "Okay, bye." I grabbed my bags and walked out the door.

Rydel P.O.V

"Ellie-bear, have you seen Sage." Ellington nodded. "Sage walked out with her bags a few minutes ago." I walked outside and saw Sage walking down the block with her bags. "Where are you going," I asked, running to catch up with her. "Riker and I sort of had a fight so I decided to walk to my new house. It's close."

"I can drive you." Sage shook her head. "I'd rather you not know where I'm staying." I shook my head. "You're not staying with Rowan again, are you?" Sage nodded. "No come on. Please don't."

"When you come back from tour, I'll be here. I'm living here from now on. I decided I'm being too much of a burden and I kinda feel like Riker needs some room to breathe." I nodded. "I'm gonna miss you. Are you sure you can't stay?" Sage nodded. By the time we had finished talking and saying goodbye, we had reached Rowan's house. It looked creepy even from the outside. I hugged Sage and told her to call me if she needed anything, anything at all.

I walked back to the house. Riker was pacing back and forth outside. "Have you seen Sage?" I nodded. "Where is she, Del?"

"I walked her to Rowan's. I tried to make her stay, but she wouldn't change her mind. Sage is even staying there after we come back from tour. What happened?" Riker looked sad. "I let her walk out, I knew she was going to stay with him and I let her walk out. I'm such a bad boyfriend. I don't deserve her." I tried to calm Riker down. "Listen, she'll be fine. We'll be back in L.A. in 3 weeks. You can check on her then."

"Fine, if she doesn't wanna see me." I pulled Riker onto the bus. "Come on, we have to leave soon, get ready." 

Laura P.O.V.

It feels strange to be here. It's dark and I don't know where I am. I could feel eyes staring at me. I quickly turned and no one was there. "Hello?" No answer. I thought I heard breathing. "Is anyone there?" No reply yet again. 

I'm becoming those people in horror movies that everyone thinks is stupid because they hear something and think that someone is going to just reply like, "Oh, I'm just in the living room stealing some jewlery." 

"Ross? Stop trying to scare me." Seconds later, a strange voice replied, "I'm not Ross, and I'm not trying to scare you. I'm trying to kill you." I screamed at the top of my lungs and a hand went over my mouth, "Shut it bitch."
