Stayin' Alive

I'm sorry

After some hours I finally realised I was hungry and knew I would have to get some at some point. I didn't mind telling Robin, he seemed calm with it all. Barry had been worried sick and Maurice was worried about his car. As I left my room the two brothers rushed to ten bottom of the stairs. At any sound of movement Barry and Mo were there to see what it was.

"Leave the girl alone" I heard Robin said from the newspaper he was reading

Andy stayed silent, he just watched me.

"Where are the staples from?" Andy asked finally saying something to me

Oh no, he noticed. I was ready to run strait back into my room but my stomach told me other things. Now it was Robins turn to run to the bottom of the stairs. I froze as I reached the banister. I couldn't go anywhere near them. I didn't want to.

"Rosalind please tell us what happened" Barry begged

He hadn't called me Rosalind in so long, I knew he was getting angry.

"Please just don't talk to me" I begged

I felt myself beginning to have a panic attack. I stepped backwards and into the railing. Robin slowly edged up the stairs towards me. I let him embrace me in a hug.

"Why do trust him and not us?" Maurice asked as he and Barry came closer

"Because I'm not pushing her into things" Robin replied "I'm letting her do things in her own time"

I wanted to cry but my body wouldn't let me. Robin then turned his attention back to me.

"Calm down, don't worry I'm here" he reassured
He then slowly got me back to my room and sat me on my bed.

"Do you need anything?" Robin asked

"Food" I muttered a reply as my voice couldn't do anymore

Robin went off to quickly get me food, soon returning. He closed the door and sat down on the bed, watching me eat.

"Do you want to talk about it or are you still not ready? It's all in you're time" Robin asked holding onto my free hand

"I was driving down the road and Jerry hit me. I didn't see him as his lights were off but he was going at some speed. My car turned a few times, glass shattering and entering my body. Jerry managed to get me free as the car set on fire. Jerry saved my life and got me to a hospital. I passed out when I got here so I don't know what happened to him. I woke up this morning covered in stitches and staples" I replied before showing Robin my arms and legs

He then took both my hands in one of his.

"Don't worry about any of it, we are all here for you and Maurice won't worry about his car when you tell him the truth" Robin reassured

With his spare hand he moved a piece of rogue hair from my hair and tucked it behind my ear. He then lent in so our lips met. The kiss felt so magical and so right. It didn't feel like I was cheating on Jerry, it felt like I was falling in love for the first time. I never fell in love with Jerry and never had anyone before. Robins arms wrapped gently around my waist to not hurt me. My hands ran through his hair, trailing down to rest on the small of his back. Then the door opened.

"Rob, oh my flipping Jesus of Gods above" Maurice said entering in a bit of shock

Me and Robin parted before looking to the two who just entered.

"Are we ready for the explanation?" Barry asked

I just looked to Robin to ask if he could tell them.

"I'll tell you outside" Robin said ushering his brothers from the room

When the door shut I went strait back to the food, forgetting everything. I crawled over to my record player and slipped Abbey Road before laying on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling while singing along to John Lennon's voice. Then the door opened stopping me in my tracks. I jolted up and there stood Barry.

"I'm so sorry, if I would have known" he said sitting down on the bed and wrapping me in a hug

Then Maurice entered.

"Why were you worried about what I would think about my car, I'm more worried about you" Maurice asked joining the hug

Robin stood by the doors watching. I looked him strait in the eyes, almost becoming for him to join. He slowly came over and sat down on the bed, one arm round Barry and the other round Maurice as I sat in the middle.

"I'm sorry" I muttered

"Don't apologise" Barry said tickling me slightly

I began laughing as Andy entered. There was a cold sense about him as he entered the room.

"Do you want some more food?" He asked me

I just nodded. He quietly left the room and trudged down the stairs. I turned to the other three who looked like they were angry at their brother.

"Don't worry about him" Robin said, obviously angry
