Chapter 9

Rocky, Rydel and Ross were all sat downstairs and Ratliff had just arrived he was sat next to Ross while Rydel was sat next to Rocky. They didn't talk at all too eachother, they were too scared. Plus Rydel thought Ratliff was still angry with her, in a way he was but it wasn't necessarily her fault he shouldn't of kissed her. Maybe then Kelly wouldn't of split with him.

Ross then gave Rocky a 'look' and then both of them stood up before leaving the livingroom into the kitchen. Ratliff looked over to Rydel and then at the clock "I better go.." Ratliff said standing up and leaving the house to go home. Rocky then came back into the room and leaned against the door frame "Where'd he go?" Rocky asked. "Home.." Rydel said. Rocky then looked to the couch where he saw Ratliff's jacket.

"He left his jacket.." Rocky said throwing it too her. "You take it to him!" Rydel said throwing it to him. "I can't!" Rocky lied. "Why not?" Rydel asked. Ross then came into the room and Rocky quickly grabbed him "Promise you won't hold a grudge against me?" Rocky asked quietly. "It depends on what your gonna do.." Ross said. "Great!" Rocky said. He then picked up at empty vase that was on the table and smashed it on the top of Ross's head, it smashed into tiny pieces and Ross fell to the floor knocked out "I can't because Ross got a vase smashed over his head and needs taking to hospital.." Rocky then picked up Ross, slung him over his shoulder and took him to the car where he began to drive him to the hospital.

Rydel sighed before picking up Ratliff's jacket and leaving to catch up to him.

=== With Ratliff ===

He was walking down the street going home just thinking about things, alot of things. The party. Kelly. Rydel. Life. Rydel. What's been going on in his life. Rydel. But he was more thinking about Kelly than Rydel even though it didn't seem like it.

When he lifted his head up he saw Kelly walking on the otherside of the street, so he quickly crossed over and ran infront of her. "GO away Ratliff!" Kelly said trying to get round him. He wouldn't let her get passed "Look, will you let me explain please!" Ratliff asked. She sighed "You have 5 minutes.." She said. "Look, Rydel was pretty, pretty drunk that night. I had alot to drink aswell, so I couldn't exactly tell what I was doing," Ratliff began to explain "then you'd gone missing! I went out of my mind so Riker and Rydel decided they were gonna help me look for you, I think Ross did aswell but I can't remember. Or was it Rocky? I don't know.. Then I went upstairs to go look for you and so did Rydel. She fell onto the floor, I helped her up and when I got her almost up I didn't know what I was doing then I ended up kissing her.." He explain in a hurry.

Kelly then smiled and began to laugh a little "You really are a idiot aren't you.." She said. "I could be your idiot if you give me another chance?" Ratliff asked. "Fine, I'll go back out with you. ONLY if there's nothing going on between you and Rydel.." Kelly explained. "Trust in me, there's nothing going on between me and Rydel.." He said.

Rydel then came up from behind Ratliff "Hey Ratliff," She said smiling "you left your jacket when you were at mine a minute ago.." She said handing it too him. Kelly then folded her arms and looked at Ratliff in disbelief. "Thanks Rydel.." Ratliff said taking it from her "but I was kinda in the middle of- Hey, is that the bracelet I got you for your birthday last year?" He asked. "Oh yeah!" She said showing him "I just love it so much, I think I haven't took it off since you got me it.." She said laughing a little, Ratliff then laughed a little also.

"I'm outta here.." Kelly said walking away. "No wait, Kelly!" Ratliff said going after her, along with Rydel. Kelly then turned around "Forget about it Ratliff! I know what I know. You two clearly like eachother! I don't see why you don't just ask eachother out.." She said. "Oh no, no, it's not like that Kelly trust me!" Rydel said. "Whatever.." She said before quickly walking away around the corner.

"Ratliff..." Rydel said "I'm so sorry.." He sighed "It's okay, guess she's just hard to work.." He said before walking off.
