Chapter 10

Its Tuesday, I'm leaving today. I get to go home. "Hey, baby girl. How you feeling today?" Ross asked sitting down on the chair. "I'm okay. I've been better" I said. "You ready to go home?" "Yeah, I'm waiting for my mom" I say "actually, I asked if i could take you home. Your mom said it was okay, but I have to have you home by 9:00" Ross said. "Oh, okay. Can we go now?" I asked. "Yep, I already singed you out" he said extending his hand. "Okay let's go" I took his hand and stood up. Ross gave me my crutches and we left the hospital. "Okay, so what are we doing?" I asked I'm the car. "What do you mean?" Ross asked. "I don't have to be home intill 9:00. What are we gonna do intill then?" I asked. Ross reached obey and grabbed my hand, and interlocked our figures. "I was thinking we go home and watch a movie, cuddle, hang out." He said. "Oh okay, that sounds great. So is it gonna be all of us or just me and you?" "Doesn't matter. If you want to hang out with everyone, then we can, or if you want us to be alone we can do that. We will do whatever you want." He said. "Okay, well I do want to see everyone. Maybe we can hang with them for a while, then we can go hang out alone a little too." I said. "Sounds good. Okay, we're here. Wait here a minute, I'll help you out." He said getting out. Ross came around and helped me stand up, and get my crutches. "Thanks" I say we walk to the door, and Ross carried my bag. We got to the stairs and I stopped. How the fuck is this gonna work? "Want some help, babe" " no, I'll be doing this at school. I need to figure it out now." I say studying the stairs. I figured it out, I got up the stairs without falling, and without help. Woo! "Okay, that was a struggle." I say giggling. "The struggle is real." Ross said laughing. "Yes, the struggle is real" Ross opened the door, i went in, and he closed the door. "We're home!" Ross shouted. He no sooner got that out of his mouth, I see Riker, Rocky, Rydel, Ryland, and Ellington run downstairs. I also see Stormie and Mark come in from the back yard. "Micaela!" Rydel says. I decide to mess with her. Instead of hugging her, I went to Riker. "Riker! My favorite Lynch! I missed you buddy!" I said. Riker didn't respond. He just laughed. Everyone but Rydel understood, everyone was laughing except her. "I don't get it? What's so funny?" She asked. "You-you- Bahahaha" I couldn't finish. I laughed so hard I cried. It normally wouldn't be this funny, but her being confused made it hilarious. "Wha- Oh, I get it." She said laughing. "My st-omach h-hurts" i say sitting down on the couch. "Okay, what do you guys wanna do, we could talk, watch a movie, work on the song. What should we do because I'm bored" Rocky said. "Oh, guys. We could play truth or dare, or would you rather!" Ross said. "Sound fun, you okay with truth or dare micaela? We will make sure to be careful because of your leg and neck." Riker said "yeah, let's play truth or dare!" I say. "Okay. Do you wanna go upstairs or play here?" "Lets go upstairs. I need practice going up and down stairs anyway." I say getting up. We went upstairs and in Rydels room. I sat down on the floor with everyone else, and we started. "Okay, Micaela, you start"Rydel said. "Okay, Rydel, truth or dare?" I asked. "Ummm. truth" she said. "Hmmm. Okay, is Rydellington real?" I asked. "Dare!" She said nervously. "Okay, I dare you to awnser that question." I say. She looked at Ellington and he gave a slight nod. "Uhhh. Yes, it is." Rydel said. I saw the the boys tence. "Ell, run" Rydel said. He did as told and he ran, the boys following close behind. The boys caught him righ as he was about to open the door. "BOYS NO!!" Rydel said sounding scared. She sounded scared, and that made me scared. "ROSS STOP!" I yelled. None of the boys even payed any attention to me. I tried getting up to help, but I fell and hurt my leg. "Oww!"  I said in pain. Apparently that got their attention. "Micalea! What happened?"Ross said running over to me and squating down. "I was trying to stop you from hurting Ell. Rydel sounded scared, and it scared me. I tried getting up, and I fell and hurt my let."I said. "Micaela, you don't have to worry about me. Don't hurt get yourself hurt over me."Ellington said. "Well, I'm sorry, but I do! Ross, can you help me up?" I asked. "Yeah, ready?" He asked. I nodded. He helped me up and gave me my crutches. I used my crutches to keep my balance while I stood. "I'm sorry, but worrying is what I do. I worry, i don't enjoy it, but i can't help it. I worry, I overthink, I stress, amd i haye it. But I can't change it! I wish i could, but I can't." I said startingn to cry. "And if you don't like it, you don't have to be my freind. I don't want you to be forced to put up with me, if you don't want to.some people can't handle it, and if you can't, I respect that." I sit down and continue crying into my hands. "Micaela, its okay baby" Ross said hugging me. "Do do guys mind if I talk to Micaela alone?" I hear Ellington says. Ross looks at me. And I nod. Everyone leaves, and Ellington sits next to me. "Micaela?" "Yeah, Ell?" I say looking a him. "Hey, don't feel bad. I was just saying, you don't need to worry about me. I know the guys, they wouldn't hurt me very bad. There isn't anything to worry about." "Yeah, and Rydel knows them too, she was scared, so it had me scared. When I'm scared in a situation like that, I worry. It's kinda my thing." I saw. "Its ok. You're cool, and nice, and funny. I like you, you're a cool person and as far as I can tell, you're a goodn person. You are a good freind. Even if you have problems, like, over thinking, and worrying. We all like you, and we are willing to be there for you, and calm you down when you get worked up." "Really?" "Yes, we love you, clearly not as much as Ross does, but we still love you"he said chuckling. "Hey, its only been a couple days, I wouldn't call it love just yet. Let's see how our first couple dates go before we bring out the L-word" I say chuckling. "So, we good?" "Yeah, we're good" Ell hugged me, and I hugged him back. "Thanks Ell"  "you're welcome Mica" "Awww" we hear Ross say. We pull away. "Ross, are you eavesdropping?" "Maybe" he said walking into the living room. "Rydel?"Ell said. "Hi..." Rydel said comeing into the room. "Riker, Rock, Ryland." I said. They came in too. "Wow! You really don't know the meaning of alone do you?" I asked. "Nope" Ross said sitting down and pulling me on his lap. "Okay, its 3:00 and I don't need to be home intill 8:00. It takes half an hour to get home. So we have 5 and a half hours intill I have to leave." I say. "Okay. We can finish our game?" Riker asked. "Sure, but I'm not getting back on the floor. This was to difficult to get back up with this cast." I said.  We played truth or dare for the next hour. "Okay, well, this was fun. Micaela, you wanna go hang out as a couple." "Sure, let's go." I say getting up. "Bye guys" I say. We went upstairs, and went to his room. "Are you okay, babe?" Ross asked. "What do you mean?" "about earlier? You're okay right?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "Okay, what do you wanna do?" "I don't know?" "We could just cuddle and talk?" Ross asked. "I'm down for cuddles" I say. "Yay" Ross said laying down on his bed. "You're such a child" I say laughing as I cuddle up to Ross. We didn't talk long. He was comfortable, and I fell asleep. I wake up hearing Ross saying "Hey, baby? Wake up." "Mhmm?" "Get up, we have to leave in about 5 minuets." "Okay, let's go babe." We drove home holding hands and singing along to music. Ross opened my door and helped me get to the door. We knocked and my mom awnsered. I sat on the couch and kissed Ross goodbye. "Okay. bye babe, hey so are we still comeing over this weekend to work on the song?" "Yeah, we're we're good. "See you then, bye baby" I said.
