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

Chapter 31

Laura P.O.V.

"Laura, honey, are you alright," Stormie asked reaching for the first-aid kit in the cabinet. "I just wanna go home." Stormie reached for my hand. "I'll take you into the house, come on." I shook my head, "I wanna go to my home." 

"Laura, sweetie, my home is your home now," Stormie smiled, trying to make me feel better. "Your home was and never will be my home, I know that for a fact, especially when one person in particular wants me to go home." Stormie sighed, "Sometimes Ross is... Well, Ross can be..." I could tell that she didn't know how to word it, so I decided to step in. 

"An egotistical jerk who only cares about his own feelings and decides that he likes being an asshole to me," I said standing up and walking outside. "Laura, I know you're upset, but we really should get going soon." 

"I'm not going, sorry Stormie." 

I walked in the house and saw Ross sitting there with his head in his hands on the couch. He lifted his head up slightly when I shut the door. "Laura," His soft voice sounded fragile, weak. "Don't talk to me," I turned toward the stairs and started to go up to my room. 

I felt two hands on my hips and after that I fell into him. "Let go of me," I screamed hoping Rocky, Riker, Ryland, or Ell were still inside. "Laura, I just wanna talk." I struggled to get free. "Well, I don't want to listen."

"Just calm down," He spoke holding me tighter. "ROCKY, RIKER, RY, ELL, IS ANYONE HERE?" Rocky came running down the stairs. "Leave her alone," Rocky yelled at Ross. He managed to get me free and Ross collapsed onto the floor. "I love her," He whispered to Rocky. "Well I don't love you." I spoke harshly, coldly. "Can't we work this out?" Ross spoke barely above a whisper and put on his puppy dog eyes. I rejected, I'm not that easy to win back after you punch me. 

"I'm not going to be in a relationship with an abusive boyfriend." Ross punched the stairs, I backed away. "I'm not abusive, it was just one time." Rocky stepped in front of me. "You're scaring me, I don't even know who you are anymore. The real you would have never hurt a fly, what's wrong with you." 

"Nothing, everything's fine." Ross unclenched his fists and started to calm down. "If there's something wrong, we can work through it and make our relationship stronger, but if you hit me just because you were angry then we need to take a break."

"It's just-" Ross stopped, choosing not to speak. "Tell me, I'm here for you," I spoke stepping away from Rocky. "I can't." I stepped towards Ross a litte, "You can, I lo-" Ross smiled. "We love you," I continued. Ross dropped his smile. "I can't tell you, you'll hate me." 

"Why would I hate you?" I tried to sound sincere, but it was a little hard. "You will hate me, you'll break up with me and I'll lose you." I grabbed his hand, he quickly pulled away. "You could never lose me, I need you in my life."

"I.. I..." Ross broke our eye contact. "What could you have done that would make me hate you?" I lifted his chin so that he was looking me in the eyes. "I didn't mean to.." I was getting nervous. Did he cheat? 

"You remember when I went to six flags with the boys." I nodded. "Well, we stayed overnight and this girl walked into the wrong room." I let go of his hand. "Please don't finish."
