Laura pov.

I don't wanna live forever.

Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik's voices echo through my rather large room as the daylight approaches.

I pick up my phone to see who would call at this time of day.

Rydel Lynch.

"Hello?" I answer with my voice still groggy from having just woken up.

"Morning!" Rydel seems more cheery this morning as she always seems to be. "I was just wondering if you had anything planned for today?"

I lift my head from the comforts of my pillow to squint at my calendar. I inspect it for a while before replying.

"Surprisingly no."

"Great. Do you mind coming over?" She asks.

"Depends on the time."

"Around 11? Maybe?"

"No problem." I say glancing at the clock that read 8:24.

Gives me time to get some rest.

"That all?" I question

"That's all for today boss." She says in an army voice.

I giggle before responding.

"Bye Del."

"Bye Laurie."

I put my head back on the pillow after putting my phone back on the dresser.

My eyes shut and I soon drift off to sleep.

**********************

A car honks in the distance and I jolt upright, awakening me from my dreams.

My head snaps over to the clock.

10:40.

I jump out of bed and rush to the bathroom.

I do my morning routine and get dressed in a white crop top, black leggings, a flannel that's wrapped around my waist and combat boots.

I grab my keys and rush out the door.

By the time I reach the Lynchs it was 11:09. I raise my hand to knock on the door when it swings open revealing Rydel.

"Sorry I'm late. I overslept." I apologize running my hand through my wild hair.

"It's fine. Come in." She gestures her hand towards the interior of the beautiful house.

I step in, taking my shoes off at the front and continuing my journey to the couch.

As soon as my butt hits the cushions, Rydel sits nexts to me.

"Where are the boys?" I question their lack of presence.

"Just out getting some stuff." She says turning on the TV.

When she says that, the door opens to reveal the guys.

I stand up to greet them. I hug Rocky first moving on to Riker then Ratliff, then I awkwardly hug Ross and quickly move on to meet their little brother Ryland.

When I'm done, I take my seat next to Rydel on the couch.

I now see that she's decided on Fear Factor.

I cringe at the screams of the competitors and look away when I see the challenges they have to face.

"Laura, can I talk to you for a second?" I look over at Ross who took the seat next to me.

I shrug and answer, "Sure."

He leads me up to his room. When we arrive, he locks the door and leads me to his bed.

I take a seat in the plush blankets and feel like sleeping.

"Look I'm sorry for the whole trying to kill you thing. I just forgot I was on top of you and I was looking into your eyes and I kinda zoned out." He bites his lip nervously.

That was sexy.

Shut up Conscious.

"It's fine Ross. I'm over it." I wave my hand in dismissal.

"Great." He looks around his room avoiding my gaze. "Hug?" He outstretched his arms.

I shrug and stand to hug his tall frame around the waist.

Oh my glob I can feel his abs.

There you go again.

Shut up. You know you feel it.

Whatever.

I let go before it gets too long and my eyes wander over to his dresser where I see a brush and comb.

"Do you mind?" I say gesturing over to it and my hair.

"Sure." He says stifling laugh.

I hit his chest which was probably the lightest hit ever.

"Oh wow I'm so hurt." He says holding his chest dramatically.

I roll my eyes while walking over to the dresser in front of the mirror and braided my hair in two Dutch braids.

When I'm done, I see Ross ogling me in the mirror. I turn to face him.

"May I help you with something, Sir?"

He shakes his head while smirking and retreats downstairs. I shake my head as well and clean up my hair off of the dresser.

Well I know y'all probably like

"WHERE THE EFF HAVE YOU BEEN?"

And I'm sorry but um...you see...

What had happened wassssss.....

I have no excuse. Sorry for this crummy chapter. I'll try to update more.
