Stolen Heart

Chapter 21

Ross POV-

I kissed Sarah goodbye, then walked to my house. I opened the door, and neither riker or Ashley were in sight.

I checked the living room, kitchen, Riker's room, and dining room. I sighed, feeling defeat. Maybe she isn't here?

Right before I sat down on the couch, I heard a voice and a splash. "Riker! No stop!" The voice yelled, then the splash rang through my ears.

I rushed out to the pool area, then saw riker just about to jump into the pool, then saw me. "Uh... H-hey Ross." He greeted me. "Riker who's-" I heard the girl in the pool say, then she turned around and saw me too.

Just as I suspected, I saw Ashley.

"Hey Ross..." She said awkwardly. "Hey! Why don't we chat about this in the living room before Sarah kicks your butt herself, shall we?" I asked, directing my arm inside. Ashley walked out of the pool, and riker quickly walked inside. They were both soaking wet.

"So explain why exactly you think you could get away with this?" I asked.

They shrugged and looked at me. "Ashley, I want you to go home." I said. She nodded, then walked through the house, dripping water every where. "No!" Riker yelled, making Ashley stop in her tracks. "Ross, you can't control my life. You're my younger brother. I can do what I want." Riker snapped. "Ya, well you can't just disobey Sarah like that!" I yelled back. "Ya, well would be obeying her if she didn't break my heart." He said, then marched up the stairs.

I was at a loss for words. I didn't know he loved her. I looked at Ashley after I saw him walk up the stairs. She was looking at her feet. "So he loves Sarah.." She said. "I was just used."

I shook my head. "Ashley I-" I started, but she cut me off. "Save it." She said. "I don't need an apology. This happened before." Then she walked out of the house. Wait, before?

After a minute, I picked up my phone, and texted Sarah. "Ashley was here, she is really bummed... Don't go to hard on her." I texted.

After a good five minutes she texted back. "I only sternly spoke to her;) Don't worry, I'll talk to riker. Be right over." She replied. I smiled, then put my phone down.

"Riker!" I yelled. "Sarah's coming over!"

He better be prepared for a big butt-whopping.
