I just cant forget about you

BBQ ch.8

Alex POV  "Lets go already!" I yelled at my sister who was taking forever to come out of her room.  "Im coming!" she yelled back. I took my phone out and texted Monica.(Txt-Be there in 5). Her house is so close to mine and the best part is so are our jobs. I'm 17 but since I'm a November baby I graduated at 17. She works at the H&M a block down from the bakery so she always goes there for lunch. She's been with me through bad and good and I've been there for her. We both decided to take a year off and go back. I want to study cooking and fashion designing and she's still a little iffy about what she wants to do. Thats why she took a year off. I took the year off because of my sister we both have different reasons but that doesn't matter. I drove up her drive way and whistled when I saw what she was wearing. (www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=90765...) "Wow someone wants to impress somebody,"I said shaking my eyebrows. "Psh please the impression has already been done,"she said getting in the car,"now all I have to do is reel him in." We both began to laugh ignoring my sisters comments. 

When we got to the Lynches place Monica made me do what we call The Last Minute. Its where 1 of us makes sure the other looks good for a boy.  This time is was Monica wanting to look presentable and I had to help. 

"You look fine,"I told her smiling.

"Yeah but he's famous and has tons of girls at his feet," she said kicking a rock that was at the driveway. 

"So,"I said calmly.

"So,"she said moving to the opposite side of me,"what makes you think he's going to pick me?" she said sadly.

"Because your an amazing girl just girl and he would be lucky,"I was saying when Ross opened the door to his house.

"Who would be lucky?"he asked.

"Oh yo,"I was cut off my Monicas hand on my mouth.

"No one,"she said plainly.

"Oh," Ross said with a puzzling look on his face.

"Yeah,"I said once Monica removed her hand from my mouth.

"Where's your sister?"Ross asked me. Wait. I turned around. Where was my sister? I looked inside the car and she wasn't there.

"Monica have you seen her?" I asked.

"Nope and I hope it stay that way,"she said crossing her arms.

"I got a call,"I said  out lout when my phone started to ring.

"We can hear that,"Monica said pushing past Ross into the house.

"Hello,"I said into the phone. I couldn't tell who it was since the number was blocked. 

"Whats taking you so long !" It was Amanda alright.

"Where are you!" I yelled back since the purpose of this conversation was obviously to pop each others ears out. 

"Im in the pool with Rydel and Ratliff,"she said cooly. 

I grabbed Ross hand and walked to the backyard where sure enough my sister was in the pool playing.

"How did you get in?"I asked. 

"Its called a door you should try it sometime." 

"Watch when we get home I'm ganna," I was cut off by Monica who said,"Little reminder thats what you always say but never do,"she said rubbing circles on my back. 

"Amanda can I see your phone?" I asked sweetly.

"Fine,"she said handing my her phone,"I dont see what you need mine though."

"Your. Grounded,"I said sounding out each word separately.

"You wouldn't," she said narrowing her eyes at me.

"Watch me," I said walking away. 

"Hey sorry about that,"I said standing next to Ross. 

"Are you kidding it was kind of entertaining,"he said chuckling,"plus I would die to be able to ground my brothers."

"Yeah I only get to do that cause I have custody," I said looking at my feet. 

"Oh,'' he said. I was grateful thought because he didn't ask anything else.

We stayed like that watching everyone play in the water. I kept thinking that even thought I took her phone away she would probably give it back to her when we got home. Dam I'm so weak,  I thought to myself. 

"Hey Ross?"I asked. 

"Whats up?"he asked.

"Ok," I said taking a deep breath,"can you do me a favor?"

"Sure,"he replied quickly.

"Can you hold on to this,"I said holding out my sisters phone,"I know if I take it home and hide it she'll find it or I would just be to weak and end up giving it to her." 

"Sure,"he said taking it and going inside the house.

I sighed. Ive never grounded my sister and kept it before. How will she react. I turned to see her and saw that she was glaring at me from inside the pool. Wait not my someone behind me. I turn and find Ross walking back empty handed.

"Done,"he said when he reached me. Oh boy what did I do, I though to myself.

From my side vision I saw my sister coming out of the pool.

"Hey Ross,"she said happily grabbing his hand. Ross shot me a confused look and began walking with her. 

"Whats up with her?"Monica asked right after they left.

"I don't know,"I said suspiciously,"but somethings not right she wouldn't be this happy with him right after he took her phone away."

"He what?"Monica said spitting out a piece of watermelon she had in her mouth.

"Ew and yeah I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep it from her and if I gave it to you she would just,"I was saying when I heard a splash and a Rydel say,"Your hair!"

I turned and saw Ross in the water my sister was laughing and something about Ross just looked different. 

"Amanda !" I yelled at her while running to them and helping Ross out of the pool.

"Whats wrong with you ?!'' I asked loudly. 

"He has my phone and now he also has green hair,"she said skipping away. 

"I'm soooooo sorry,"I  told Ross.

"Its ok,"I said drying his hair with the towel Monica had brought him. 

Everyone came towards us and I got to meet everyone yet sadly not under the best circumstances. 

"Amanda to the car now! Were leaving !"I yelled at her,"again I'm so sorry,"I said facing Ross.

"Its okay I'll just head to the salon and get it fixed,"he said calmly.

"Ugh if you want I can pay for whatever they have to do to your hair,"I told him.

"No thats fine,"He replied chuckling.

 "There had to be something I can do to make it up to you,"I said pushing the subject.

"Okay,"He said thinking for a while,"Wednesday afternoon you let me take you somewhere."

"But thats not me making it up to you its you doing something for me,"I said questioningly.

"So its what I want,"he said.

"Fine,"I said defeated. 

"Hey Monica,"I called her.

"Sup ma niggaa,"she said playfully.

"Your taking care of Amanda Wedneday afternoon,"I said quickly and making a run for it.

"What!?"she said chasing after me.
