Eyes Behold

35. Rose ?

The next day the group was supposed to leave for Cardiff, the next part of the world tour . All had been planned well and all of them were packing to get ready.

The night's adrenaline had washed off with the morning sunrays and now Rose was feeling amazingly embarrassed. She was groaning to herself flushing red while packing her bags.

' What was I even thinking? I wasn't even drunk for god's sake to blame it on that . The girls are sure gonna tease me the whole of my life now.' she groaned to herself.

That's when she heard someone knocking.

' I wasn't expecting them to be here so fast !' she thought now completely horrified of what the future held for her .

So praying to all the powers looking down on her, the dramatic girl scurried off to the door , opening it just a creak. Claire came into her view . But she wasn't grinning mischievously or wasn't bouncing in excitement, instead she was completely opposite, calm but one look in her eyes and Rose knew something was seriously wrong.

Rose immediately opened the door wide , now completely serious . All giddiness and embarrassment gone. It wasn't the time for that . Her Meri was worried about something and it seemed bad.

Just behind her a livid Amelia was stomping her feet towards them . She was fuming with anger and if it would have been a cartoon , she probably would have been all red with grey smoke puffing out of her head. Rose would have chuckled at the thought but the situation looked tense , really tense.

" Guys ... " Rose started carefully as if she was dealing with ticking off bombs . " ....What is happening here ?"

" Oh you don't ask me ! Ask that lover boy of yours. Tell him he can't drag you in things like these ! We don't want you to be hurt !"

" AMELIA ! What are you saying ?" Claire whisper yelled at her " we were supposed to check on her to see if she is fine . Looking at her face I'm sure she doesn't know a thing . Don't spill the beans now !"

Rose was getting more suspicious now. But she stood there patiently taking in the situation and assessing it carefully. Something just wasn't right. That's when she heard hurried footsteps towards her . She turned around to see a running , extremely worried Ryder followed by Carlos.

Ryder immediately held Rose's shoulder and started assessing her carefully . Rose couldn't figure out what he was looking for ? Any other person would have been shouting out of curiosity or worry or sheer annoyance. Even Rose was feeling all this but she kept a calm facade carefully observing everything.

" Listen Ro- Ro. No infact don't listen ."

Rose glanced at Carlos curiously.

' What is he even trying to say . This idiot .' Claire shook her head and unexpectedly Carlos continued suddenly taking everyone by surprise.

" Don't listen to them at all Ro. It's not true . It can't be . He was with us all the time . I'll kill that gi-"

Claire smacked him hard . She was so shocked earlier that she couldn't react fast enough. The idiot had almost let it out. Almost .

Carlos pouted rubbing his head .

" What ? I was just-"

" Shush you stupid ! She doesn't know !" Claire whisper shouted at him.

" What do I not know ?"

Oh! Seems like it wasn't a whisper after all.

" Ok guys ! I've had enough . Something is up and I don't know wh-"
