My Ex-Best Friend is a Dragon

Chapter 12

Rosie
"What is the folklore of the Russian princess and this dragon?" "I've read that there are multiple versions and but which one is the most accurate and the most truth?" I asked. I could see a giant smirk forming on Caleb's face; but he's not staring at me he's more focused on Will's reaction. I looked at Will who was giving a death glare. "Depends Rosalie on your perspective because we historians here have been arguing about it." "But in my opinion is that there was actually a horrifying ritual done." "Many young royal girls would be chosen to be sacrificed into being the bride of the dragon." "The young girls would wear white dresses and dark red beads around their necks."Now the villagers would sing a traditional calling to the dragon Devil; while the fathers of the girls had put them in canoe boats to be sitting and waiting to whom will be chosen." "Princess Anya was chosen because the dragon beast came and snatched her up never to be seen again." "They say the dragon only comes every eighteen years in search for bride so that their line of heirs can extend for all eternity." "Princess Anya though either perished or she learned to love the man behind the beast." However, no one really knows what happen to the princess but here's the weird part." "The dragon stopped coming when the eighteenth year came." "Strange isn't?" Said Caleb.

"So no one has found her body?" I asked. "No they have not which is we are still searching for it." Replied Caleb. "Um thank you Caleb I might come back tomorrow to look their everything you have." I said. "Really then would you have dinner with me?" Asked Caleb. I was about to speak when Will interjected. "She will not have dinner with you; that's it we're leaving." Snapped Will as he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me to the entrance and as we did there were loads of paparazzi everywhere. I quickly my face in Will's chest. I could feel him tense and go into protective mode.

"Rosalie is that boyfriend?" Called one reporter. "Rosalie is it true you came over here to get married?" Hollered another. "Rosalie when are you modeling for next Victoria Secret Christmas collection?" Shouted one. "Is that your bodyguard Rosalie?" Shouted one behind me. "Is it true that you are dating the Italian soccer Mattia Zaccagni". Shouted one.

I was too overwhelmed by the yelling and screaming; I just wanted to go home. Will opened his truck for me to get in. And we drove off as fast as possible. "Are you all right?" Asked Will as I turned towards him. "Yeah I'm fine just startled I guess." I said as I looked down at my hands. "You know I always wondered why you became a model." Said Will. "It made me feel beautiful and gorgeous and I don't know you wouldn't understand." I said blankly. " Try me." He said. "I guess I always felt self conscious of myself because every time I looked into a mirror I see a fat loser who couldn't stand up to her bullies." "Being a model tells me that I am good enough, that I am skinny enough, that I am special enough to be with someone." "But obviously I was only kidding myself because who knew rejection hurt so much because I'm still not good enough." "Heck I even got accepted to Brown University to become a teacher." "I graduated early because even though I was working I wanted to prove I have smarts." I finished explaining. Will just sighed and spoke, "Rosalie I didn't know you felt that way all those years." " I just don't understand why girls think like that." "You've always been gorgeous in my eyes." "You were a girl who was full of life and your smile would light up the room." Explained Will. Even Will's words didn't faze me enough to see my self worth. I just don't want to end up alone and have no love in my life. I just stared at the window. "Rosie did you not hear me?" Called Will. Still gazing at the window and looking at all the trees I responded; "I heard you and I have nothing to say about your words."

"What do you mean you have nothing to say to my words." Sighed Will. I turned towards Will and said: "Let me put it this way then; I do not believe you nor do your words have any meaning to me."

Will did not say anything he just stayed quiet. Don't think I have not forgotten about his behavior and his awful criticism towards me. He thinks by acting nice that atomically drops all the things he's done to me. Hell no it doesn't, because I know I am not that clueless when it comes to guys. He made it crystal clear that I am not good enough nor do I understand what he's fricking been through. What about me huh I've lost my best friend who would actually love me and care for me. I guess it only happens in fairytales. The car ride was dead silent and we getting close to my grandparents house. The car came to a halt and as I tried to get out Will locked the doors. I turned to Will glaring at him. "Will let me out now." I snapped at him. "Look I get that your pissed off at me for abandoning you and saying hurtful things but sometimes I didn't have choice in matter." Said Will. I looked into his eyes and all I could see was pure sadness, pain, anger, and scared of losing. I just sighed, "I'm done trying to understand you and your mood swings." "I know my worth and I know when I'm not wanted." "Maybe I should date my Mattia I mean he did ask me out constantly but I always declined because I was hoping for someone to be with me." "But I guess I was only kidding myself." I finally explained my side, my feelings, and my pain towards him. I looked in the corner of my eye and saw that Will had nothing to say to me until he startled me by punching the wheel. "Do you hear yourself right now!" Snapped Will. "I should get going Will I have a photo shoot tomorrow for a brand clothing." I said as I was trying to get out of the car but it was still locked. "Not so fast Rosalie what kind of photoshoot are you doing and why in the hell are you working?" "I thought you were taking to a break?' Will continued to nail me with questions. 

"Since when did you care about my modeling career Will?" "Huh?" "I do not remember you ever interfering or caring about my job." I yelled at him.  "I always cared about your modeling career Rosalie but do you not realize how many friends and cousins like Caleb want to get into your pants and have a feel of your body." "I never said anything because I never seen you so happy and full of joy." "But that was when we were kids now your doing Victoria Secret which is hello underwear." Snapped Will. "You finish Will? I asked. He just nodded. "Okay so I'm going to go and have nice sleep while you leave me alone for good and if I ever you see again I promise you I will destroy you." I said each word slowly. Will smirked when I said the last part but unlocked the door and let me out.
