Laura P.O.V.
We kissed for the first time in about a week. It was perfectly passionate. I thought he had come back to me. "No, Laura. I have Maia." I was completely blown away, he wasn't okay with cheating on Maia, but it was okay to cheat on me? "What about when you had me?"
"What are you talking about," He asked letting go of me. "It's okay to cheat on me, but Maia's a different story." He shook his head. "I don't wanna lose Maia the same way I lost you." I started crying all over again. "Stop, just stop," I screamed. "I love you, Ross!"
"No, you can't. I told you I loved you, I wasn't afraid of my feelings. Now that I'm gone and not yours, now is the time you wanna tell me you love me!" We're screaming again, this is how it all started. "Ross, you cheated, I was hurt. I didn't wanna feel this way," I was running my hands through my hair, a habit, something I did when I was upset. "If you really loved me, you would have stayed and talked it out, you wouldn't have shut me out. You wouldn't have locked yourself in your room and talked to everyone but me! I loved you, Laura!"
That's when the tears started, "Loved?" Ross didn't move. Tears started streaming down my cheeks as I started running, running to the house, running to my room. "Laura! Please don't go!" I turned to see him fall to the ground on his knees. I kept running, he doesn't even love me. I have no one, Maia has everyone. Maia won, she won the guy, she won the family, she won the guy she's wanted from day one.

I was there, outside the house, wondering if she was still in there. I can't face her, after what I said, after what just happened. I can't face the girl that messed up my entire life. I walked inside. I was sweaty and out of breath from running. They were all laughing and joking as I walked in. "Laura, are you alright?" Rocky stood up. I held my hand up, trying to catch my breath. "I'm fine," I said, taking breaths after each word. I felt the back of me head and could feel blood. Stormie pulled me into the next room and got the first-aid kit.
After, I looked around the room, I had caught my breath. I saw her, my eyes were filling up with tears. Riker was sitting on the chair that was next to the door. He grabbed my hand, "Laura." I could feel the tears spilling over. "Laura, are you alright," Maia asked walking towards me. "No," I screamed. She walked closer, "Would you like to talk?" I shook my head. "Not with you," I snapped.
"Uh, Laura, how about talking to me?" I nodded, Riker pulled me upstairs to his room. "What's wrong?" I shook my head, "Nothing." Riker hugged me, "Please tell me. I'm worried about you and I care about you." I nodded, "I just had a fight with Ross."
"So that's where he went. He said he needed to check on something." I nodded, "My house was on fire again and I was inside talking to my sister-" Riker cut me off. "Woah, wait your sister?" I nodded. "Ross pulled me out of the house, and we kissed. Then he moved away, saying stuff about Maia." Riker nodded. "Then he told me that he didn't love me anymore, and I ran all the way home. He loves Maia, and he doesn't love me. I come back here, and you are all laughing with her. She won Ross, she won your parents, she won Rydel, Rocky, Ryland, Ell... you."
"I'm on your side." I smiled. "You and no one else." He shrugged. "Oh well, you got me." I nodded, "And that's enough for me." I hugged Riker and we walked back downstairs. I noticed that Stormie and Mark were not in the room. Maia was the first one to say something to me. "Laura, I don't know what's wrong, but I'm worried about you."
"Maia, get the fuck away from me." She gave me a disgusted look. "Look, Laura, I was just trying to help." I shook my head, "I don't need, nor would I want your help." Riker grabbed my hips, pulling me back into him. "Look, I'm on your side, but please calm down," He whispered into my ear. I nodded.
"Laura, what is your problem? Is it that I have Ross, because you broke up with him." I shook Riker's hand from my arm and stood up. "My problem is you, taking things, like they were yours in the first place." Maia nodded, "Ross told me he had a girlfriend! Ross told me, but I kissed him anyway! It's my fault really, and that night, Ross let me sleep on the couch. Nothing happened."
I was infuriated. "You bitch, making me think it was all his fault, keeping him all to yourself, joking around with my family like you actually weren't to blame!" She laughed. "Oh honey, at least I know how to keep a guy interested." Tears started making their way down my cheeks. "It's my fault that Ross and I aren't together. He tried explaining things, but I wouldn't listen to him."
