"ROSE,, come on, where gonna be late!!"- Her mother yelled at her.

It was 6 in the morning and both Rose and her mom had to go to the airport to get Rose's grandmother who was coming to live with them. She couldn't live alone anymore.
She was almost 70 years now and living in another city all by herself. She didn't want her daughter or granddaughter to worry about her and even with all their pleading for her to come live with them, she always said no. Its not that she didnt love them or wanted them close, but each one had their own lives and she didn't want to be the one who would get in their way, to say it somehow. She loved her daughter and her only granddaughter with all her heart. And she was so grateful they loved her enough to open their home for her. She's been having difficulties doing everything by herself after her surgery and she knew she couldn't be alone anymore.
Normally its them who go to visit her so its been a while that she's been on a plane.
She for once was excited and so was her daughter and granddaughter.
She wanted to take the first flight out because as she liked to say "people annoy the shit out of me".

"I am coming mother!!"- Rose yelled back.
She was used to get up early to go to work but damn, 6am is a bit much for her.

"Remind me why we have to leave this early again?"-Rose asked with a sleepy face.

"Well you know damn well your grandmother would only take the first flight and you should know she will get her way with how stubborn she is and that, my daughter, is the one thing you got from her" -Linda said,patting her daughters shoulder laughing.

They got out of the house and drove to the airport just in time, thankfully.
Its been a couple of weeks since Rose saw her grandmother and she was extremely happy and excited that she was gonna live with them from now on. She loved her grandparents so much and after her grandfather's death a couple of years ago, she's been closer than ever to her grandmother.

Rose was a 20 year old and was an only child. After her father decided to leave her and her mother for another family, she hasn't heard from him. The last thing she knew, thanks to social media, was that the woman he was with now, was pregnant. This means she could have another sibling or maybe more, she wouldn't know for sure, based on her fathers reputation.
She didn't really care to be honest, she was happy living with her mother and that her mother raised her. 
She's been with her boyfriend for almost 3 years now and she love him dearly.. maybe not as much she loved him and she doesn't think she will ever love her now boyfriend like that. Not that Marc didn't treat her right. He's was a wonderful man that loved her and wanted the best for her. And she appreciated everything he does for her.
He gave her a job at his company and buys her flower and gifts everyday.
He tells her how beautiful he thinks she is even though she can't really see it.
And her family loved Marc which was the most wonderful thing.
But in the back of her mind she knew no one would compare to him and how he made her feel. He was her first. Her first love, her first kiss, her first everything and it's because of that it hurt so much when he told her he couldn't be with her anymore and that he never loved her. She gave her everything she was even though she was only 16 at that time, she was sure she wanted to be with him all her life and have a family with him. He was 4 years older than her but they knew eachother since she was born. And since they were neighbors and his parents were always on business trips, he and his younger brother and sister would always stay with Rose's parents.
So they grew up around eachother as close friends until one day she started to see him differently, much more than just her best friend. On her 16th birthday, he stole a kiss from her, Afraid that she might reject him and never talk to him again. He knew she was younger than him, much younger but he was in love with her and she needed to know. He needed her to know. He needed her to know that he loved her and that he would wait for her if she accept him.
He didn't wanna scare her away and lose her forever but he couldn't wait anymore. Sure it would be amazing if she says yes to be his girlfriend right now but he was willing to wait for her till she was ready. She was his first and only love. And he was sure she didn't have anyone else and that she has never love anyone and he wanted to be the first... and only one...
