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

Chapter 25

Sage P.O.V

"Don't go into the attic or even think about touching anything in my room." The words echoed throughout my brain as I unpacked my things after getting a warm welcome into my new home.

I heard muffled talking in the attic. Seconds later, Rowan walked down from the attic and got in his car, driving off.

It couldn't hurt to check out what was there. I slowly crept up the stairs to the attic only to find that the door was locked. I pulled the clip out of my hair and started to put it in the lock.

It took a while, but I finally go the lock open. What could the old creep have in here that's so bad? I slowly opened the door and walked inside. "Hello?"

"Mmmm-hmmm." It sounded like a muffled voice. "Who is it?" I stepped closer to where the sounds were coming from. "Mmm-hmm." The floor creaked with every step I took. I heard a car horn and I realized that Rowan was back.

I quickly ran to the door and tried locking it again, but it wasn't working. I heard the front door slam shut and Rowan's loud footsteps approaching the stairs. I started running down the stairs leading up to the attic. I tripped on one of the stairs and all that was heard through the house was a loud thud.

I heard Rowan's heavy footsteps moving faster and getting closer. I quickly got up and went inside my room. My door flung open not even seconds after I walked in.

"What are you doing?" Rowan's voice was deep and scary. "Unpacking." Rowan nodded. "Did you go up the stairs to the attic?" I shook my head and said innocently, "You told me I wasn't allowed to go up there."

Rowan shook his head an went to his room. "I've gotta get up there again, but how..."

Ross P.O.V.

"Hey, baby." I smiled, hearing Laura's soft, gentle voice wake me up after my nap. She was rubbing my back lightly. "Lay with me." Laura smiled, "We're going out to eat soon."

"Just for a little bit," I pleaded hoping she'd just be here in this moment with me. She shook her head. "We're leaving now."

"Go without me, I'm tired." Laura nodded and went to tell Mom.

I noticed that she left her phone on the edge of the bunk. It beeped and a new text popped up on the screen.

"Laura, your phone is beeping." I heard the door shut. I got off the bed, checking to see if anyone was still here. Nope.

I picked up her phone and only a portion of the message was on the screen. I unlocked her phone and looked at the message from the unknown number.

"If you don't do as I say, I'll kill her."

Who could Laura care about that much? I scrolled up and saw the other messages.

"I need to call the police," I spoke reading the things that this unknown sender wanted Laura to do. Who was all of this for? Who was sending the messages?

Rydel P.O.V.

I quickly kissed Ellington's lips. "You are bae." He smiled, "You are babe."

"Let's take a picture." Ratliff nodded and handed Rocky his phone to take a picture of us. "3..2..1...cheese." Rocky left the room. "You missed." I was confused, "What?"

"You missed my lips when you kissed me in the picture." I giggled. "I'm sorry. Is this better?" I leaned in and just as I was about to touch his lips, I got up and ran into the room with the bunks.
