Chapter 14
Ross's POV
"Knock. Knock"
It was half eight when I heard the knock on the door. I was in the kitchen trying and failing to make scrambled eggs and sausages. I'd have to remember to learn how to cook when this nightmare is over. Barbara was still asleep in the living room. I was woken up by a banging noise from outside. I was going to wake Barbara as well but after what had happened I decided not to. So I walked to the door and opened it. Standing outside was Sam and Caine. Suddenly I was overcome with anger towards Caine.
"Come on let's go." Caine said.
"You said she was fine!" I said as stepped outside.
"Barbara's fine Ross. She's probably at home." Sam said
"No she's not fine. At 2:00 this morning she showed up at my door with a scratched and bloody face and three broken fingers." I said.
"What...did you do Caine." Sam said turning to him.
"I threw them at a wall a few times hit them a few times as well" he said causally like he threw people at walls everyday. That's where I lost my temper. All of a sudden a jet of fire shot from my hand. It missed his leg by centimetres. Before he could recover I shot more fire at him. This time it just scraped along the outside of his left leg. I stood there in shock as I started at his leg. It was burnt and blackened. Then I saw Caine stick out his hand. Then the next thing I knew I was flying backwards into the door of my house. I hit it and fell to the floor. After a few shocked seconds I got up and began to run at Caine with my hands ready two firing. When I reached the end of my garden I shot at him again. But my aim was off so I missed and hit the road behind him. Then just as Caine was about to hit me again Sam shot his green laser at us.
"Stop it!" He shouted at us.
"He hurt Barbara so I have to hurt him" I said getting ready to fire again.
"You have hurt him! He can bearly walk."
"I'm fin...aghhh" he screamed in pain as he tried to walk.
"Come on let's get you Lana. Ross are you ok?"
"Ya, ya I'm fine."
"Good go get Barbara so we'll bring her to Lana." He said as I ran back into the house.
"Hey. Barb. You ok?" I asked her as I bumped in to her.
"Well expect for three broken fingers I'm going on outside?"
"I had a fight with Caine..."
"Why were you fighting?"
"Ahm...well...because he..ahm hurt you" I said, feeling my cheeks my go red.
"Really." She said beginning to smile.
"Ya, now come on." I said as we walked out of house.
"Hey Ross! One thing I forgot to ask you how old are you and when's your birthday?" Sam shouted over at me.
"That's two things. I'm fourteen and my birthday is tomorrow." I shouted back.
"Tomorrow. Ahm ok. After we get to Clifftop I need to explain something to you." I said back as we began to walk to Clifftop. I then turned to Barbara who was walking beside me.
"Em. Barbara are we ahm.. Like..you know."
"Going out?"
"Ya that. Are we?"
She then took my hand and kissed me. Then she whispered into my ear.
"What do you think?"
