Phone Call

Rose is 16. Finn is 18

Rose pov

I lived at my brothers Arthur's house. Always have done. He adopted me when I was 4. But he is still my brother not my dad. I don't think he has ever disciplined me because I start crying and he feels bad. So it's great. Big house. Lots of money. No adults. And no, I don't class Arthur's as an adult. Look at him. He is a child trapped in an adults body

I was in the living room dancing to music. A half empty bottle of whiskey rested comfortably in my hand as I swayed ridiculously to the music. It was 6pm but I had the house to myself so why not have a little fun?

"Avin fun love?" Arthur chuckled. I turned around and saw him stood by the door with his arms folded and a smile on his face

"The best" I replied as I walked over to him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the middle of the living room. The chairs and coffee table had all been moved so I could dance

"Dance with me arthur" I begged. He chuckled but agreed and soon, we were spinning around and laughing our drunk arses off. But of course, someone had to ruin our fun

"What is going on?" Great. Just great. Linda. The Christian woman who came from hell. Ironic isn't it?

"We're just enjoying our selves. Losen up abit" I told her. Her eyes widened and steam was coming out of her ears

"You are 16 Rose. And Arthur, you are an adult and her carer. Don't let her drink" she yelled at us. Arthur rolled his eyes but stayed silent. That didn't last long. The pair started yelling and Linda threw a few glasses. I just stood watching them not knowing what to do. The phone rang and them 2 couldn't hear it over the arguing

"I'll get it then shall I?" I said to myself as I walked over to the phone.

R: Hello?
Unknown: Hello. This is Orla Harrison
R: Oh. This is unexpected. Is everything alright?
O: I know you and my sister are good friends
R: The best
O: I'm so sorry dear. Last night, Caroline was attacked walking home from a bar. They found her body in an alley near by. I just thought you should know

I couldn't reply. I couldn't hang up nor could I apologise for their loss. Carry is dead? But she can't be. She is my best friend. Last night we went out and we walked halfway together but then had to go on different directions. We do it all the time. She is always fine. How could this happen? I dropped the phone and it hung from the cord

Arthur pov

As I yelled with my whore or a wife, I heard a blood curdling scream that made us bith fall silent. Without a second thought, I ran into the next room and found Rose screaming as she collapsed onto the floor.

I ran over to her and rocked her in my arms as she screamed bloody murder

"Ssshhh. Its alright. Everythings alright" I whispered as I rocked her. Linda was on the phone with polly asking her to come over. I had not the slightest clue what was wrong with rose but clearly it was something that had broken her.

After 10 minutes of screaming, she eventually stopped and just cried. Both still on the floor, I lifted her into my arms and onto the sofa. As we sat and Linda made tea, polly, Tommy and finn walked in. Finn ran over to rose and rocked her as she continued to cry

"What's wrong roe" finn asked as he kissed her head. Finn is the only one allowed to call her roe. They were always the closest and had the same group of friends due to the close age.

"She's dead finny" she said as she hugged close to finn

"Who is love?" Polly asked

"Carry. Murdered after we split with her last night" she explained as she sobbed again. I didn't know many of finn and roses friends. But I know carry. She sleeps here every Friday night and Rose sleeps at hers every Sunday night. They walk to school together every day and I am always giving the pair drives. Never apart. Best friends since they were 5 and met at school. I knew the girl well and to hear she was dead broke my heart.
