Chapter eight:
Barbara's POV
She was freaking out. Her mom, older sister and nan just disappeared! Right in front of her. One minute talking about TV and stuff the not gone, and then just to make it all seem worse her phone had no signal and the TV wasn't working and the internet was down again. She thought this was just going to be another one of her mom's idea of a joke. She would knock on the door any minute with her sister and nan by her side and start laughing at look of horror on her face. Her sister would probably take a picture of it and send it to the whole school and whatever reputation she had would be in pieces. So instead of panicking she calmly walked into the kitchen made herself a nespresso coffee and walked back into the living room. She stuck a DVD in to the DVD player and sat down and watched one of her very limited collection of movies. About half way through the movie there was a knock on the door. She smiled to herself thinking that she had outsmarted her family. But when she opened the door she was surprised to find Gavin and Rory standing outside looking a bit shocked.
"Ahm...hi guys."
"Hey Barbara, any of your family here?" Rory asked as he stepped inside.
"No, they disappeared a while ago, but they'll be back. Mom's always playing practical jokes like." She said
"No. It's not a joke. Something's after happening. Our parents disappeared as well" Gavin explained as he followed Rory and Barbara into the living room.
"What do mean they just disappeared!" She replied sounding a bit alarmed.
"It means that one minute they were there the next they were gone."
"Where's Ross? Shouldn't we go and see if his parents are there." Barbara said
"No, we called over on our way here, nobody answered. And Ross is down at the wall" Rory said.
"What's wrong. Do you miss your boyfriend?" Gavin teased.
"He is not my boyfriend" she said defensively. Then the three of them went into the kitchen and Barbara made them coffee as well. Then just as they sat down there was another knock on the door. Barbara got up and opened it. It was Ross. As soon as she saw him she gave him a hug and fought back the temptation to kiss him.
"Ahm.. Hi to you too Barbara." He said as she finally let him go.
"Where have you been!" She demanded.
"You better sit down. I have so much to tell you" Ross said to the three of them. All of then then walked back into the living room where Ross began to explain what was going on.
