R5 Are Babysitting Me

Chapter 21:

Jessica's POV.

I pulled the bloody blade out as James fell to the floor. I unlocked the truck, and hopped out, slamming the door behind me. I picked up james' bleeding body and threw it over my shoulder. I carried him along with me.

Allie's POV.

Soon enough, Ross came into my room. "What was that about? Jessica and James must have decided to walk home because they're not in the truck." He said. "Im fine. Really." I said. Ross scooped me up and carried me downstairs. He sat me down at the old table and made me a glass of steaming hot chocolate. He plunked two white marsh-mellows in it. Then, he did that thing he does every time he makes me a hot drink. He grabbed a candy cane and carved a small hole all the way down the center of, making a straw. He did it so perfectly, the outside layer didn't even have a crack in it. I set it down in front of me.

"There. That'll calm you down." Ross said. "Thanks. But I told you. I'm fine." I assured him. I took a small sip through the minty straw. "Alright." he said. "Its 11:00pm now, so we'd better take you up to bed." He scooped me up and carried me upstairs, holding my hot chocolate. Ross set me down in my bed, and put the warm drink on my bed stand. I was pretty much asleep, so he didn't say a word. Ross pulled the blankets over my body and left the room, silently.

I was just dozing of when I heard a loud thump on the roof. In fact, right outside my bedroom window. My eyes jerked open. I quickly got up to see what it was. I opened the curtains, and what I saw took my breath away.
