Chapter 4 - Spin me round

x Dee's Pov x

Spin me round again,

And rub my eyes,

This can't be happening.

When busy streets,

A mess with people

Would stop to hold,

Their heads heavy.

He didn't love me. I knew that he didn't. Of course I knew. I shouldn't have put him on the spot like that. But I needed to tell him how I felt. The drive to work the next morning was one of the longest half hours of my life. Ryo just sat there silent and embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Ryo. Don't feel bad. I shouldn't have done it."

"No. Of course you should."

"Really? But I thought..."

"DEE! RYO! You're over ten minutes late and there's been an explosion in Dowerth Road. GET THERE NOW!"

My sentence was left hanging in mid-air as I turned the car around.

xXx

Sense of fear,

Sense of danger,

All but lost,

Not a stranger,

I don't know,

What is happening to me...

x Dee's Pov x

We stepped out of the car at the bombsite; only to realise that the house was familiar.

"Shit! This is Carol's house!" Ryo sprinted over to a nearby police officer to ask him where Carol was. But something else had caught my attention. On the ground, at the edge of the wreckage, lay a single rose. I picked it up, and a small card was attached to its stem.

'Destroyed With Love'

My God! What kind of a sick person would bomb a house then compare it to an act of love? Just then, our senior inspector came around the corner.

"Found anything interesting Dee?"

"Yes actually I found a..."

"Yes well that's good... Where's your lovely little partner I would like a word with him."

"Knowing you Mr. Rose I expect you'd like a great deal more than a 'word' with MY Ryo." I thought to myself.

"So?... Do you know where he is Dee?"

"No." I turned around. "Now piss off!" But I couldn't say that of course. I'd lose my job.

"Dee! Dee! Carol's O.K! She's O.K!" Ryo was sprinting towards me, a smile on his face, his hair flowing beautifully in the breeze.

"That's great Ryo! Where is she?"

"Just over here."

I walked to where Ryo was pointing. A police car with its doors open. Sitting inside was Carol and a woman who must have been her aunt.

"Hi Carol. Are you O.K?"

"Yeh I guess. No-one was hurt so that's good. But my house is kind of fucked up..."

"CAROL! What have I told you about that word!"

"Sorry Auntie."

"Where are you going to stay in the meantime though Carol?" Ryo's head appeared next to mine. I struggled not to shake as I felt his breath mix with mine.

"Well my Auntie's staying with a friend... but the friend only has one spare bed and she kind of hates me so... I dunno."

"Well you can stay with us then! You can have the sofa." I loved the fact that Ryo was a generous person. But our house was already filled with homeless delinquents! Well... If you count me and Bikky as homeless delinquents.

xXx

"Bikky we're home! I've brought someone else home so please be polite to her. She's been through a lot, her house just got bombed. Her name's Carol." A depressed looking Bikky appeared at the doorway. Looking at Ryo as if poor Carol was the last thing he cared about. But then he saw her.

"Shit it's you."

"Hi." Ryo and I stared at each other, perplexed. How did they know each other?

"Listen... I'm really sorry about..."

"Forget it. I got over it."

"Right." -Awkward Silence-

"I just think..."

"It's fine. Really. We can just be friends right?"

"Yeh... Would that be O.K?"

"Yeh. That would be O.K."

"O.K."

x Carol's Pov x

I'd never expected to see him again yet there he was right in front of me. Just being friends wasn't so bad. It was better than nothing... and he was too young for me anyway. But I still had to hide some feelings that I knew would never leave me. I couldn't help thinking that I was never going to find anyone. They were either too young or too old or going out with my friends... Why does it have to be so damn difficult!
