Nothing but Sisters - Rosénali

15

"Will you be quiet!?" Denali yelled at Rosé, who was just sitting on her bed scrolling on her phone.

"I didn't say anything!"

"Well stop thinking so loud!"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Rosé put her phone down. "It's not my fault that your boyfriend cheated on you."

"Get out." Denali curled up in her bed, facing the wall.

"You can't banish me! This is my bedroom too!"

"Stupid bitch." Denali muttered to herself, but Rosé heard.

"Are you clinically insane or incredibly annoying?"

"I don't know, probably both." Denali replied.

"Okay, this isn't about Joey, right?" Rosé took a deep breath, "If this is for Nicky, I'm sorry. And I mean it, Den-"

"I don't want you to fucking apologize." Denali shouted, turning around to look at her. "I want the guilt to eat you alive. I want you to drown in your thoughts like I drowned in mine." She yelled, as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Are you kidding me, Denali? I did everything I could to be with you, and you kept rejecting me every fucking time. Can you even imagine how that makes me feel? Huh?" Rosé yelled back before taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. "Why does there always have to be a villain, Denali? And more importantly, why does it always have to be me?"

Denali didn't say a word. She just faced the wall again, trying not to sob, as the tears were burning her face. They stayed like that for a while, in pure silence, until Rosé spoke again, softer this time.

"Sometimes you make me feel like I actually have a chance with you, Denali. But when I try to take that chance you make me realize I actually never had it."

Denali looked at her again, "I told you this before, Rosé. I'm scared. I'm sc-"

"You're scared of the way I make you feel because you don't want to feel anything."

That statement left Denali breathless. Rosé was right, and Denali knew it. She tried to speak, but the words barely came out.

"I want-" Denali stopped. Tore her fingers through her own hair. "Never mind what I want." She mumbled.

"What do you want?"

"You. It's always you."

"And why do you keep rejecting me every time, Denali?" Rosé asked, the frustration taking over her whole body. "You keep pushing me away, like I'm-"

"Sometimes I push you away, because I need you to pull me closer." Denali spoke almost in a whisper.

"Stop it." Rosé exhaled, getting up, "Just stop, Denali." She left the room, crushing the door behind her.

Rosé began to walk down the street, alone, with tears filling her eyes. She was sick of always being available to whatever Denali wanted or not. But what about herself? What about her own feelings? She wiped her tears away, took her phone and began typing.

Rosie: Baby, you home?

Nicky: Hey, boo. Yeah, wanna come over?

Rosie: On my way.

After a few minutes of walking, she arrived at Nicky's, who welcomed her with a huge smile and a warm hug.

"Hey boo." The French girl said, as she was hugging Rosé.

"Hey baby."

"Are you okay?" Nicky wondered, getting apart a little to look at her.

"Yeah, don't worry." Rosé shook her head, "I just needed you."
