Chapter 16

"Rose?" I asked quietly looking over to the woman sitting next to me. Seeing her look back at me I took that as my chance to say sorry for how I acted earlier. "I just wanted to say... that I'm sorry for just brushing you off like that this morning. I don't see my mom often and knowing I would get in trouble just. Overall the whole situation is just complete crap. And I'm sorry." God I was a total mess and I just couldn't say or do anything right. Internally face palming myself, I took a long breathe to steady my now increasing heart rate.

"You have nothing to be sorry about Eden, that is your personal life and it's okay. But I do have question for you." Hearing her say it was alright, felt like a weight was lifted off my chest. A burden that I no longer had to carry around. Nodding my head signaling her to ask I went back to focusing on the road.

"When we dropped you off that one night saying you had a family thing, your mom wasn't there was she?" The question was almost a whisper. As if she was afraid to hurt my feelings. As if she cared. Knowing that I had been caught with my lie, the car seemed scorching hot. Tightening my grip on the wheel I shifted in my seat. Sighing I decided to answer. "Yeah, I lied. My mom barely shows up." I deadpanned. The air seemed to have thicken in the car.

Silence took over. Afraid to look over at Rosalie who's golden eyes were glued to me. I can't look at those pity eyes. As nice as her golden orbs are it hurts me too much. My mind started to go in chaos mode. Why would I be so hurt that Rosalie felt bad for me? Why did was I so effected by her? I know I kissed her but my feelings for her haven't been that deep, well at least I didn't think so.

We drive in silence. I, focusing on the road while Rosalie fiddled with my phone until a certain song came on. The song she sang to me, when our relationship first began.

"Eden, I want you to meet me in 5 minutes inside the gym." I heard the voice speak into the phone. Telling her I would be there I closed my locker and headed towards the quad where the gym was. The school was almost empty because the girls basketball game just ended so everyone either left or is waiting for their ride. I texted Perla but she hasn't replied so I continued to the gym.

Walking in a group of my friends were there standing in a half circle facing me, then the music began.

"I dreamed of you last week

Remembered old memories

Cryin' in my sleep

But I'd rather dream of nothin' at all

The more I think I grow

The less I seem to know

Oh, oh, no"

I make my way toward them even more to see the girl I adored, playing guitar singing with passion. I couldn't help but blush like a tomato. Perla was the first one to hand me a rose, then another person handed me one, I ket getting handed a rose until I finally made it right in front of her.

The song came to an end, still standing there speechless I bore my eyes into her. "Eden Hadley. Will you go out with me?" After that, all I could hear  were cheers and being met with an array of hugs and shoves.

"Eden!" I heard my name being screeched. Looking forward I see another car come towards us and I immediately swerve the other direction, towards my right until we slow down on to the side of the road. "I'm driving. Move over." Rosalie spat. I can't be mad at her for being mad at me since I did almost get us killed. Moving out of the drivers seat I walked over to the passenger seat of my Porsche. "Rosalie I'm so sorry." I pleaded with my words and eyes.
