"No. I can't take this. It makes me feel sick"

"Caitlin, we've been through this. This medicine stabilises you. You have to have it, if you want to get better"

"No. I refuse too. It makes me want to vomit"

"Don't you want to get better and go home?"

"I do, but I'm actually starting to like it here"

"Take your medicine, otherwise your parents will blame me for not treating you properly"

Caitlin reluctantly took the medicine, but threw it away, when her doctors back was turned. If I get better, he might not come and see me again, she thought 


Barry was sitting, taking a well deserved break, from his errands that he had run, when he looked up. He was shocked at what he saw. There, on the opposite side of the lake, looking at him, was Caitlin. Barry was shocked. She had taken the time to look everywhere for him, and even though it was a difficult path, she had still attempted it. Barry just stared at Caitlin, and got up

"What are you doing here?"

Caitlin just looked at him. Barry looked at her, then just walked away. Barry got his horse, and started washing it, and making it run laps around him. Barry was busy with his horse, when he noticed Caitlin over his horses shoulder, smiling and watching him. He tried to concentrate on his horse, but felt his eyes being drawn to her. He walked up to her

"What are you doing here? Your distracting me"

"How am I distracting you?"

"Look, stop following me around. I get that your sorry, and fine I accept. Now leave me alone"

Caitlin decided to go paddling on the river. She and Ronnie walked to the boat

"Ronnie, help me in"

Caitlin was about to grab his arm, and go in, when she saw Barry. She fumbled for Ronnies hand, and nearly fell in

"It's ok, I've got you" said Ronnie 

Caitlin smiled but her eyes looked for Barry. She found him, staring at her

"Caitlin, come on. Let's go"

Caitlin looked around for Barry, but he was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and climbed in. She actually had a nice time, but she was constantly on the lookout for Barry


Barry, after a long hard day, stopped in front of Caitlins house and looked at it. Caitlin, ran out of her room, onto the balcony, as the wind was knocking her stuff over. She stopped when she saw Barry. Barry walked up to the gate, and looked at her. Caitlin walked up to the ledge, and just stared at him. Barry soon took his eyes off her, and walked away. Caitlin tried to call out to him, but he had walked off

The next day, Caitlin drove to the shop, where Barry was having lunch outside. She waited until they were alone, then walked up to him

"Barry"

Barry turned around 

"What do you want?"

"I love you"

Barry stood there shocked, as Caitlin ran away. What was he supposed to do?


Caitlin was in a bus, when Barry got on. Caitlin got up from her seat, and went and sat next to him. Barry tried to get up, but Caitlin sat him down again 

"Barry, please stop this. How long are you going to keep this up? I said I'm sorry"

"I forgave you, but please don't try and talk to me"

"Please don't say that. I love you"

"Well I don't"

"What if tomorrow someone comes and takes me away from you? You might be able to handle that, but not me. If that happens, I know you will end up regretting it, because I don't think someone could love you, as much as me"

Caitlin was about to get off, when the guys behind her said 

"If he doesn't want you, we'll take you"

Caitlin turned around 

"In your dreams"

"What? Do you think that you are too good for us?"

"No. I just know who I want, and that's not you"

"He doesn't want you"

"Maybe not, but he's worth ten of you"

Caitlin got off and went home, leaving Barry with a lot to think about. He finally got off, and went home. He was stunned to see a strange car outside his house. He paused as someone exited his house. Caitlin looked at Barry and smiled 

"What are you doing here?"

"Barry I"

"What? When you couldn't win me over the right way, you've come to my house?"

"No barry, your wrong"

"And I was just starting to think you were an okay person. I can't believe how gullible I was"

"Barry, I"

"Leave me alone. Don't ever try and talk to me again"

Caitlin ran away, in tears. Barry entered the house, and was shocked to see his dad, lying down, whilst a doctor checked him over

"Dad, what happened?"

"Nothing. I was just crossing the road, and felt dizzy, and collapsed. Thank goodness for the girl who saw me, and helped me home"

"What girl?"

"She just left. Didn't you just see her?"

Barry was shocked. So that's what Caitlin was doing here. And what had he done? 


Duff duff duff. Poor Caitlin. As always, feedback appreciated
