Chapter 11 – Recovering
Kacey's POV
I had forgiven Barry for being a prat he had saved me after all and from dad who was a physco, he had been coming over every day apologizing but I had already forgiven him, things were back to normal with us now though, he was still annoying but aren't all brothers? he was letting me playing footie now as well, we spend hours in the garden just playing football and the best thing is the waterloo road team protested against the sexiest rule of not being allowed to play with boys when you are over 14 and got it changed so I am now a proper member of the team, Dynasty had taken a bit longer to forgive Barry but eventually had after seeing he was serious, and things were even better than before, though nothing could ever stop them two fighting.
Barry's burns on his arm were REALLY bad and the doctors said he will probably need skin grafts; he was on medication for it as it was painful, every time I saw it I wanted to cry seeing my brother in pain but it is the mark of how much I mean to him and how he is prepared to get hurt to save me which is something I will never forget.
Tom had finally settled things with Barry, and they were starting to get along great too.
Dad had obviously broken his bail so was back in prison Barry and Dynasty live in the school house now, they couldn't live at home anymore as mum had been arrested for the assault, so both our parents were in jail now, which made us look great. I decided to stay at Tom's as I was already settled, Barry had calmed down as well he wasn't lashing out all the time and was finally starting to accept me.
Barry's POV
Kacey still hadn't fully recovered from mum's beating but she was in trouble as she had being arrested too
We were currently back in the PRU and my arm was throbbing like it always seems to do now, when Miss Diamond said she wanted to see me as she was my pastoral care mentor.
I walked to her office and couldn't help noticing how pretty she is, but she was my TEACHER I can't have these thoughts plus what would a 30 year old woman want with a 17 year old like me.
I sat down, I couldn't start a relationship now anyway, I had me girls to think of.
She was sat close to me and I could feel the heat in the room, I felt hot in my jacket I always wear but it was winter so there was no reason too.
'Right Barry, can I see your arm please?'
I put my arm out and she rolled up my sleeve and looked at the burns, it felt like fireworks when she touched me and her hands were really gentle whilst touching the burns.
She was smiling at me and I felt a feeling I had never felt before. Love. All the relationships I have had have been one night stands and didn't mean anything this did.
She said I could go and on the way over to the door I knocked over a box of files because I was staring at her and I am not the clumsy type, I hadn't had this feeling before but loved it.
Dynasty's POV
Barry was late I was visiting Kace at Tom's as usual when staggered in but he wasn't drunk.
'What's up with you?'
He had a weird look on his face, he was smiling and his eyes were shining as if he was in a trance.
'Barry want some pizza? BARRY?'
He jumped about a mile in the air and me and Kace started having a laughing fit
'Tom something is wrong with Barry'
'Looks like he is in love'
That just made us laugh more, BARRY IN LOVE, I decided to take him home before he started drooling.
I kissed Kacey and grabbed hold of Barry
'See you later'
Kacey's POV
After they had gone I was sat on the sofa eating pizza and still laughing when Tom started talking
'Guess what I have an surprise for you'
He fiddled in his pocket and then handed me an envelope I opened it and found two tickets to watch LIVERPOOL. I had never actually being to a real match there was never any time.
'Thanks Tom' I said whilst kissing him on the cheek
It was for Saturday he wanted us to have a foster dad/foster daughter thing day and I agreed, this day was going to be amazing.
