Roxy

chapter 13: Top of my list [edited]

(Louis P. O. V)

"No!"

"Sshhh, don't yell," the guy I have come to know as Rolland said.

"Not even a little," the girl I have come to know as Ruby asked. I shook my head in response.

They all gave me a bored look.

"You're a disappointment," the kid with the glasses who I have come to know as Ranger said.

They all went back inside the room except for Ronan. He was staring out in the distance.

What is it with this guy? I have never heard him talk. I walked over to him.

"I can't believe your siblings could think of something like that," I said and he turned to look at me. He stared at me with a blank expression before going back inside the room.

I sighed and brought out my phone to call Kelly. I dialed her number but she wasn't answering. I tried two more times but she didn't answer. I sent her a text saying I hope she's okay.

I really do.

I walked in the room to find everyone doing their own thing. The guys were playing video games while Ruby was attending to Raelynn.

"Can I hold her?" I asked Ruby.

"No," everyone answered in unison. I was a bit shocked by that, but okay. But Like seriously, what the hell? Do I have some crazy disease or something?

I went to the kitchen section and see Rolland searching through the cupboards.

"We ran out of food you guys," he sighed. This guy really likes food. The amount of food he ate yesterday was enough to last a starving family with five kids for three days.

"Let's just go to the store and get some," I suggested and he glared at me.

"Here's a better idea. You can go do that, while I stay here, avoid the chance of getting kidnapped and most importantly, avoid a three hour speech from Roxy," he said with fear in his eyes.

Awwn, he called her Roxy. That's cute.

"Suit yourself, if you're scared I understand." I said walking to the door, but Rolland beat me to it.

"I'm not scared of shit," he muttered under his breath while opening the door. He turns around, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You coming?" He asks and I chuckled as we both headed to the store.

It's been a few hours now, and Roxanna still hasn't woken up. Did she run a marathon yesterday? Or is she pregnant? But that joke irritated me for some reason.

We got back from the store three hours ago. Rolland is actually a fun guy. He kept telling me about this girl his been crushing on and is playing hard to get.

Young love.

Since I found myself doing nothing, I decided to check my phone to see if Kelly has replied or called. She hasn't.

Oh dear God. I'm starting to get worried. Why hasn't she answered yet?

I looked up at Roxanna's face. She seems disturbed, like she's having a nightmare. I inched closer to touch her face. I don't know why but, I just feel the need to touch her face. Her beautiful angelic face...

My fingers were mere inches away from her face when someone grabbed my wrist with an iron grip.

Sweet Jesus Christ. I could've sworn I heard my wrist snap.
