"So, Rose, I left a message to your mom to tell her you're here. If you need any thing, please don't mind asking. Now, what do you girls want to eat for dinner?" Says my mom as she is making the bed for Rose in our guest room.
Once she leaves the room, Rose and I sit on the bed and I stare at her, examining her face as she looks around the room.
"I should maybe give Helena a call, so she knows where I am." Finally says Rose
I roll my eyes as I leave the room to give her some privacy.
"That's weird, she's not answering. She's online though..."
I turn around and see her eyes starting to fill up again.
"Oh Rose, don't cry. Don't worry, she's probably talking to her mom or something." I say, trying to reassure her even though I know exactly who Helena is talking to. Pablo, her boyfriend. The love of her life. The one she loves more than anyone else.
"I'm not stupid Rachel. I know she's talking to him. She's always talking to him. Always."
A year ago, Rose and Pablo were dating but Rose broke up after 4 months of relationship for unknown reasons. It broke her heart when her best friend started dating him only 2 months after the breakup. Since then, Pablo is the center of Helena's attention and I know Rose feels a little let behind.
"Paula... I'm a little tiered, I think I'm going to sleep now." She says.
I look up at her glittering eyes. Rose cries a lot but I've never seen her like that. Something about her is different. Something is going on in her head, a scheme, a scheme to find her long lost brother.
