Tate's POV
As I walk out of Chloe's little room, I walk down the hall towards Rose's room. I start to knock on the door but then I hear crying from the other side.
I quietly open the door and see her curled up on her bed, clutching something tightly in her hands.
I sit on the bed beside her and rub her back."shhh, it's okay Rose. she's in a better place..." She sniffs and looks up at me. Her eyes are so sad. I wrap her in a hug and she silently sobs as I stroke her hair. "Why does everyone I love die?" She mumbles against my chest. I start to braid her hair (playing with her hair comforts/calms her). I lay back pulling her with me and she curls up at my side. I wrap my arms tightly around, like I could hold her together while her world falls apart.
"Don't you have other family?" I ask gently. she sniffs and looks up at me,"yes but I doubt they'd come to live in a creepy house.."
"Hey!" I protest, "you guys fixed it up since you got here!" They actually did. They remodeled the rotting kitchen and living area. The dining room was fine along with all the other rooms in the house. The only place they didn't renovate was the basement. Since no one would really go down there much.
"Yeah but still.."
"C'mon Rose. Please??" I whine. "just call someone and see if they could come?"
She's silent for a bit, considering who to call. "Alright. I'll call my aunt Sheila. She's a soft hearted lady, she won't like the ghosts but if Me and Chloe make a big deal about staying then she might consider."
"Good. Cause I'd miss you too much." I say as I kiss the top of her head.
"What would you do if I left? Go into a murderous rage?" She says jokingly.
"Maybe." I say and switch off the lights.
Rose POV
When I wake up in the morning Tate's gone, probably to check on Chloe. I walk down the stairs to the kitchen and make a bowl of Cheerios. I get the milk out and pour and then scream at the top of my lungs. Tate runs down the stairs.
"What's wrong!?" He asks, alarmed.
I point at my bowl of cereal and then at the jug of milk. He glares at it and huffs off. It was probably just those annoying twins, I tell myself. so much for having cereal.
I skip breakfast and go sit out on the patio. I pull out my phone and text my aunt.
