Joe's POV

"Caspar?! Where are you?" I was searching the flat looking for him. Where could've this kid gone. I was going to go look downstairs when suddenly--

"BOO!" Caspar shouted for behind the stair railing.

"Arghh!" I yelled and missed the first step and I went tumbling down the stairs. "Owwww," I squealed as a hit the bottom.

Caspar came running down the stairs. "Oh my God! Joe, are you alright?"

"My--leg--hurts," I felt as if all the wind has been knocked out of me.

"Can you stand up?" asked Caspar.

"Does it look like I can stand up? I mise well get up and do the Irish jig," I said sarcastically.

"Let's get you to the hospital! Do I need to call the ambulance?" asked Caspar.

"No, just go get the wheely chair from my room while I climb up the stairs. Then you can wheel me out to the car," I said.

"On it!" Caspar said as he ran off.

Natalia's POV

"So, that's how it happened. Caspar scared you and you fell down the stairs?" I said trying not to laugh.

"Yep, pretty much," said Joe sheepishly. "In my defense, you should never scare someone right by stairs. Common sense."

Caspar blushed, "How was I supposed to know that you would fall down the stairs?"

"OK, guys. Let's not get into the 'blame game'" I said. "As long as nothing SUPER bad happened. Do you guys happen to have a spare key to your flat?"

"Each one of us have one, so you can take mine," offers Joe. "I mean, I'll probably be travelling with Caspar for a little bit while this heals."

"OK, thanks," I say grabbing the keys and saying bye to both of the boys and leaving.

I called Alex to come and pick me up. As soon as I entered the car I got bombarded with questions.

"So...what happened?" asked Alex.

"Funny story," I let out a chuckle. "Caspar pranked Joe and he fell down the stairs," I had to try so hard not to start laughing.

"Oh, um.. not what I expected," I could tell he was trying to hold back his laughter too.

"It's OK if you laugh," I said. "It isn't that bad, just a broken bone and he's bed bound for a couple of weeks. It's better than both of them expected." I looked out the window and watched the scenery pass by. "It's really pretty here," I commented.

"Yeah, I've lived here my whole life so I'm used to it," Alex said. "I can see why you would be in awe, it's a beautiful place."

"Yeah, it is. I've always wanted to come here. I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as a got to the flat, I thanked Alex for taking me and went inside.

I went down to my room and plopped on my bed. What an eventful day it was. I hear a pounding on the door and contemplated if I should answer it. I decided to go look through the peep hole and see if I recognized the face. I saw a police officer.

Hey guys! This is a little bit of a short chapter but I wanted to end it on this little cliff hanger. It took a while to put this chapter out because of school. I have a three-day weekend so I should be able to at least start writing chapter 11. Once again, thanks for reading! It means so much! Please leave comments about what you think about the book or what you think I could improve on.
