Rose.
She was standing there. Shocked. Red and blushing. With a white towel and her long, wet , golden hair released from the grasp of the ponytail she was wearing earlier, drooping down.
"Re-Reggie...." Rose, flustered clutching on to her towel.
"Rose....I um- I'm sorry I-.... I just needed my asthma pump- and well it was in here.... I didn't know you were- were here-...I...." Reggie says eyebrows arched, cheeks blooming red and rushes to get his pump and rushes back out, slamming the door and gasping for air.
Dear lord, he thought. He just saw Rose and.......
He ran to his bedroom and rapidly walked back and forth in his room still extremely red.
"R-reggie?" A small voice came across the room.
"Listen Reggie I'm sorry, I should've made sure you heard me saying there was a problem with the lock. I'm sorry." She said, she seemed dull and dim, she wasn't happy.
Rose went out of his room. Maybe she isn't that clingy and that bad after all. He thought to himself. Rose was usually very much clingy and closer to Reggie. Since we came to Mexico, it just didn't feel right. Something was missing.

2:15 am
Reggie was fast asleep, crunched up in a ball, hugging on to his blanket.
Silence.
That's when.
Laughing?
No it couldn't be laughing.
Mumbling?
Yes?
Crying!
Someone was crying!
Reggie got up unable to sleep due to the sound and was walking around the mansion to see where the sound was coming from.
Roses' room.
2:17am
Reggie reached for the handle already aware it was half open and saw her. Rose. Crying and crunched up in a ball on the floor. Was it because of what happened today? Was she uncomfortable? Reggie walked towards the girl and saw her puffy, red eyes look back at him.
"R-reggie?" Mutters Rose as she wipes her tears trying to get up. "I um, I just, sorry for waking you up...." she says, standing in front of him,looking up as he was so tall. "I-"
She felt two strong arms tighten around her and without hesitating she bawled and cried her eyes out screaming-
"IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I KEEP MESSING UP! I NEVER LIVE UP TO ANYONES EXPECTATIONS! UGH WHY DID YOUR MUM AND DAD HIRE ME! A CLUTZ, AN IDIOT!" She screamed and shrieked as she clutched on Reggies shirt without noticing.
Reggie was confused. More than Rose was. She was so bubbly, smily and clingy in the past. Now? Was it really her? Was someone telling her what to do?
"Reggie I'll tell you the truth," as Rose looked up still teary eyed. "Reggie I do admire and adore you but obsessing over you like your regular crazy fangirls do was never my intention.You see my parents force me to do this since they want business with the Paris Family and they hope you might like me so they can get easier connections with your family for money." Says the girl disappointedly as she looks up at Reggie who is in shock.
Forced? Money? Family? Threatened? He thought. He hugged Rose tighter without noticing the girl had slowly began to go to sleep.
