Is there sunshine after the rain?

Chapter 9

Cc's POV:

"hey, it's ok, why don't you grab your

Stuff and sleep in here tonight?" Rydel said sweetly. " well I would buy my things are in Ross' room and I don't particularly want to speak to him right now, and I'm sure that feeling is retaliated." I stated with a few wobbles in my voice. " it's ok, I'll come with you" Riker said. So he grabbed my hand interlocking our fingers, and pulled me out the door towards Ross' room. Riker opened the door to be greeted by Ross with tears in his eyes. " we just came for Cc's stuff, not for another argument." Riker stated. Ross stood up and Riker squeezed my hand a little tighter. I got a little frightened as Ross walked towards us, but to my relief, he just pushed past us and walked out of the room. I couldn't help but stare at him as he brushed past me. I noticed a tear roll down his face, and that is when the guilt set in. All of a sudden, I felt sick and quickly helped Riker grab my stuff and ran back into Rydel's room. They both looked at me strangely as I looked half panicked, half fearful. "what's up? What did he say!?"Rydel said it with care in the first half, and then changed to a monotone voice, expecting me to say that Ross did something. "He didn't do anything, it's just that I feel really bad! This whole argument is because of me, and I feel terrible" is said in a desperate plead for help. "oh. Well there's nothing you can do, after all,Ross did shout at you" Riker said. For some reason, I felt like he was defending me. I mean it was nice to know he was my friend, but it felt like he was standing up for me as more than that. " thanks Riker, I think I just need to sleep" once I said it, he nodded, clearly getting the message to leave.

Both of us got changed into our pyjamas and started to get sleepy. Rydel got up and turned off the lights and I laid down on the floor. Just as I was about to go to sleep, my phone buzzed. It was a twitter messege from Ross that Ratliff had forwarded to me.

' I miss my baby girl Cc. I feel so incomplete without her. I think she's really mad at me and she thinks I'm mad at her. I'm not though, but I can't talk to her, Riker just won't let me. What do I do?'

I read this, and then read the messege Ratilff had sent with it.

' Cc, Ross needs you. By the sounds of things, everything's not smooth between you guys. Just talk to him and tell him how you feel'

I reread the messege from Ross. I started sobbing and threw my phone across the room in anger. "OH MY GOD! ARE YOU OK?!?" Rydel awoke in shock and shouted. "sorry Rydel, and yeah I'm fine, I just ummm..." I paused trying to think of an excuse. " banged my head on your cabinet." luckily, I was lying next to one. " oh ok do you need anything?" she looked at me, clearly wide awake now. " um yeah, I'm just going to go and get a drink." she nodded at me and I got up and walked out of the door. I had to walk past Ross' room to get to the door, and as I passed it, I heard sobbing. For the second time that day, I felt guilty again.

As quietly as I could, I opened the door just wide enough so I could see him. Ross was facing the wall, so I took this opportunity to sneak in. I walked in and closed the door behind me. Then I walked over to him and lifted up his covers and slipped into his bed. That was when he turned around to face me. "before you say anything, I'm sorry for overreacting and being a bi-" I was cut off by his lips crashing against mine. I was so happy that he forgave me that I smiled into the kiss. " don't ever call yourself things like that! You're amazing and I dont know what I'd do without you" Ross explained. "I'm so sorry for what I said, it's just anger took over." he looked so regretful as he spoke. " it's ok, and I didn't mean what i said about falling in love with you. I just get so mad sometimes." he looked at me and said " by the way, what was that crashing sound a fire minutes ago?" I looked down as I didn't want to tell him that I got upset over something I wasn't supposed to see. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, and then Ross' finger under my chin forcing me to look at him. " please tell me" he stated in a soft reassuring voice. " well please don't be mad, but Ratliff sent me the tweet that you sent him and I got frustrated with myself because I thought I blew my chances with you" I looked into his eyes and burst out crying again. " is that why you came?" Ross said kind of surprised that I'd seen it. " no, when I saw you earlier, you were upset, and I started to feel guilty and seeing the tweet helped me, but I wanted to apologise." I said so quietly it was almost a whisper. " ok, I'm sorry for shouting at you and sorry for making you feel guilty. Can we just put this all behind us and act like nothing happened please?" Ross looked me in the eye and put one of his hands on my cheek. I quickly nodded and leaned in to kiss him. I ran my fingers through his hair and quickly pulled

Back. "what's wrong?" he asked. "oh nothing's wrong, I just thought of something that's all." I looked at him and smiled. "so are you going to tell me or am I going to have to make you!?!?" he asked in a cocky tone. "well..." I began with a smile on my face. "I'd like to see you try!" Ross just laid there with a smile on his face and said " is that a challenge then?!?" I rolled onto my back closing my mind and said " yes it is!" with an even bigger smile than last time. Before I had any time to react, Ross was sitting on my stomach tickling me. " aahhhh! Stop it i'm ticklish!" I screamed. I looked at Ross who had a smile on his face and said " good!" then all of a sudden, he stopped. I regained my breath and tried to get up. Unfortunately, Ross was too strong and pinned me down refusing to move. " I won't get up until you tell me what you were thinking about." he stated whilst crossing his arms and looking away trying to hide his smile. " fine then, I guess I'll just go to sleep then!" I said. Before I knew it, I was being tickled again. " no you won't!" Ross shouted. " fine, fine, I'll tell you...!" ten, he stopped. "...under one condition" I continued. " you promise not to tickle me again!" I said with an evil smile on my face. " fine" Ross said in a monotone voice. "well, you know when we first met, and I said ' you're so- ' and then I stopped? Well I never finished what I was going to say!" Ross looked at me as if I was crazy. " and what were you going to say?" he looked at me with a puzzled expression. " sexy" I whispered so only he could hear. " I love you Ross Shor Lynch!" I randomly said. Ross stared at me shocked. " wow! Um ok, that was unexpected, but I love you too Cc... Hang on, that's all I know!" we both laughed and I said " my full name is Cc Rebecca strides. A bit werd, but hey!" Ross looked at me and smashed his lips against mine. We kissed for a few seconds, and then we fell asleep.

I woke up to see a figure standing in the door, with what looked to be a knife in his hands. " AAAAAAAHHH!" I screamed.
