Chapter 34:

Sam's POV

It was one in the morning. I couldn't get to sleep. I wondered what had happened to Ross. I hoped he was okay.

"Knock Knock"

I checked my watch, it was half one. I groaned and dragged myself out of bed. I walked down the stairs. It was dark and I could just about see the front door. I opened the door.

"Ross! What the hell are you doing here." I said surprised.

"Can I..um..stay here for the night?" He said kinda sheepishly.

"Why? Can't you go home." I snapped.

"I..l. Please Sam." He said. As I looked closer I could tears running down his face.

"Are you okay? What happened?" I said concerned.

"No, I..." He said crying openly now.

"Come in so. You can stay tonight. But you have to tell me what's wrong." I said reluctantly.

"Can I tell you in the morning. I just really want to go to sleep." He said regaining control over himself again.

"Ya sure. Take the spare room. It's the second on the right."

"Thanks." He said trudging up the stairs.

I followed him up after I got some water from the kitchen. I then went upstairs. Sleep came easier this time.

THE NEXT MORNING

I was already up when Ross came downstairs. He looked tried still. His black hair was a mess. His eyes looked red, like he has been crying. I really wanted to know why he was crying. I asked him if he wanted some of the little cereal I had left. He said no and just took a glass of water and sat down.

"So what's up." I said.

"Stuff." He said quietly.

"Why did you show up here last night. Thought you didn't like me."

"I never said that." He snapped back.

"Ok. Why did you show up here anyway." I said.

"I found her, Barbara." He began

"That's good, isn't it." I said confused.

"She was with Daniel. I went closer and heard them talking about the attack. I think I heard Daniel say she did it great. Then, they..ahm..kissed." He said sadly.

"Oh, sorry." I said stuffing my face with the cereal.

"Ya, it's fine. Just don't really want to talk." He said.

"Then why'd you tell me." I said. Making a lame attempt to cheer him up.

"Because you let me stay the night." He said sadly again.

"What are you doing today?" I said abandoning all hope of cheering him up.

"Might go see Rory, Gavin. Maybe. I dunno."

I looked down at my now empty bowl. Thought for a while. Then I said something

"You can stay another night if want. Longer if you need." I offered.

"Nah, it's okay. I'll find somewhere else to stay. I'll get out." He said beginning to get up.

"No, stay. Really I mean it." I said before he could leave.

"Really? I thought you hated me." He said with a slight smile on his face.

"Great, a joker." I said sarcastically.

"See ya later." He said as left the room.

"See ya." I said quietly. It'd be good to have Ross as friend. He's really powerful.
