Chapter 7

Up

"Jordan? Jordan? Jordan? Jordan?" i woke up to find Ross's face inches from mine and a serious expresion on his face. "Jordan?!"

"Ross...?" i mumbled. the world swirled as i tried to sit up, and i clutched at my head.

"Don't move." Ross commanded, putting a hand on my chest so that i would stay down.

"Ok." i croaked. "What happened?"

"I got mad... I hit your dad... He threw a lamp at me, but it hit you, not me; now we're here." he gestured around us and i realized that we were in a hospital room. "Doctor says you got a concussion." his eyes filled with worry. "Oh Jordan! When you fell to the floor..." a tear slid down his cheek.

"That's... All that happened?"

"All?" Ross's eyes widened. "Jord, you were amazing. I was foolish. I shouldntve hit him. I'm sorry. Just what he did made me so mad..." tears started rolling down his face in a steady stream. I smiled at him and said quietly, "I would've hit him anyways if you didn't... He has no right to be that controlling of my life when he's here.

Youve made me realize how unfair it is." i tried to get up again, but fell back clutching my head.

"Don't," Ross said, placing his hand on my chest again. "Um. My family's here. So is your mom. And Carly's family. And... And your dad."

"What?!" i jerked up again, my head spinning. Ross pushed me back down gently. "No. Tell him to leave. I don't want to see him. No."

"Jordan--" Ross started.

"No." i repeated.

Ross whispered, "You'll regret it..."

"No, i won't. Can you get somebody to tell him to leave, please?"

"I'll tell him."

"No. Not you." i clutched at his hand.

"It's okay. I'll be right back."

"He'll hurt you," i whispered.

"My siblings are here... So is Carly and all her siblings. They all know what happened. They'll defend me if he goes whacko or something. I'll be right back." Ross kissed the top of my hand and walked solemnly out.

I jumped up. My head swirled, but i continued towards the door. My hand wrapped around the handle... Twist, pull, i was out. I looked around the corner just in time to see my dad hit Riker in the face.

"NO!" i cried, flailing my arms and running towards them. My head was swirling and i was walking funny, but i kept going. "NO!" i tripped and fell. Had Josh -- Carly's oldest brother -- not been there to catch me, i would've fallen flat on my nose. I lay in his arms for a few seconds, then i remembered my mission and got unsteadily to my feet again. I got to Riker and my dad somehow, and i realized that rocky, Ross, and some strange brunette that I'd never seen before were all versing my dad, with the help of Tommy, Carly's other older brother.

My dad appeared to be winning. How could he be beating 5 people?!

"No!" i screamed, moving between them all. I thrust my arms out to keep them away from each other, but it was no use. Rocky just ran around me to get at my dad, and the strange brunette darted over to me and scooped me up, carrying me bridal-style away from the scene. "No!" i wriggled, my head throbbing. "No! I don't even know you! Get AWAY from me!!" i screeched.

"It's okay, Jordan. Stop," i thwacked him on the forehead. His tone was both gentle and commanding, so i went limp in his arms. "Put me down." i said.

"Nope. Ross said to take you back to your room."

"No, they need me! Can't you see that? They're getting crushed! Oh, Mr. strange-Brunette-I've-Never-Ever-Seen-Before-In-My-Life, please!"

He hesitated. "What are you planning?"

"Maybe if i... uh..."

"Exactly," he said. He continued walking.

"No!!" i squirmed. "I'm really sorry."

"Wha-- OW!" he screamed. He held his hand where i had bitten him, dropping me.

I raced back to the battle, my head spinning. Now there was a bunch of nurses in the mix, trying to break everything up. I summoned all my strength, shouted, "STOP!" and pushed my dad away from Tommy, who he was just about to hit. then i crumpled to the floor.

I woke merely seconds later, in my hospital bed with a circle of faces surrounding me.

Ross... Riker... Rocky... Rydel... Ryland... Stormie... Mark... The strange brunette... My mom... Carly... Carly's mom... Carly's sister, Brenda... And all four of Carly's brothers.

I blinked and focused on Ross.

"WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" mark shouted in my face.

"You're such an IDIOT, Jordan!" josh gasped, patting my head like a puppy.

"Dude! Ow!" the brunette.

"Honey?" my mom.

"Are you okay sweetie?" Stormie.

"Wow! You've got some muscles!" Rydel.

"Ew, Jordan. Next time warn me before you rush out of a hospital room screaming." Brenda.

"you ok?" rocky.

"Oh gosh." ryland.

"Next time, come BEFORE somebody hits me, ok?" riker.

I could tell that everyone else was just staring at me silently, uncomprehending. My eyes were still fixed on ross. He smiled. "You need to start listening to me." and then everyone backed up as Ross leaned in and kissed me. Even with a concussion, the kiss was amazing.

A nurse came in and pulled Ross off of me, saying that "a healing child needs personal space" and pushing Ross away. Ross grinned and said, "Love is the answer!" and when the nurse gave him a sour look, he fell silent and stared at his shoes, occasionally shooting me funny faces and forming little hearts with his fingers.
