POV: Rose
Rose, don't do this. Rose, don't do that. Rose, do this. Rose, do that.
Rose. Rose. Rose. ROSE!
That's all I ever hear—my name echoing in my head like a broken record. Sometimes, it feels like the only thing that saves me is music.
I'm the middle child—sandwiched between two older brothers and one younger sister. To the world, we're "rich." My father's the senator of Nevada. Yeah, I know—another state. At least we don't have to move homes; he's the only one who has to leave.
Mom? She's been gone for five years. Murdered. They say it was a serial killer, but no one knows for sure. The case was quietly closed after my dad became a senator.
That left me—the oldest girl—to hold everything together. Sure, my aunt is here, "taking care" of us, but let's be real: she's only around for the money my dad sends her. She's a nightmare.
"Rose, you need to show some lady manners!"
"A perfect wife takes care of her children."
"A perfect wife keeps the house clean!"
"A perfect wife is p-e-r-f-e-c-t."
Well, guess what? I'm not perfect. I'm not even married. I'm barely in my twenties!
But for my family?
I'd do anything.
Anything.
