Why Did It Have To Be You? //The Black phone

Bad News

Roses POV; Today I thought that it would be like any other day at my boarding school, but boy was I wrong. When I was 7 I was sent away to a boarding school for troubled children cause I got into fights and "aSsAuLtInG" multiple teachers. Which I call BULLSHIT on. And because I was sent away, I was separated from my twin brother, my best friend, I miss him really badly but oh fucking well. At least once I turn 15 i'm supposed to be able to leave. I'm 13 at the moment. I woke up at 6:00 a.m per usual and got ready for class,but once I got there my teacher said to go to the headmasters office. She was a bitch so I assumed I was in trouble. I wish I had only been in trouble...

"Hello Miss Arellano, have a seat." Said my Headmaster.

"uh, hi. Why am I here?" 

"Well I am not allowed to get into detail about this but you will be returning back home in North Denver."

OMG YESSS! I thought to myself. "uh ok.''

"We will miss you!" She said as I walked out. I was totally NOT gonna miss that bitch so I didn't answer. 

                                                                      Time skip cause i'm lazy af

"ROSEMARY MI PEQUENA!" - Mama(wouldn't let me do the tilde, i was pissed 😭)

"HOLA MAMA"!!

"I missed you so much!"-Mama 

" I missed you too!" clearly not enough to send me there in the first place i thought to myself.

"Let's go home cause there is something we need to talk about so prepare yourself."-Mama

The way my mama said this made me uneasy and sick to my stomach as if I were on a roller coaster. But I was ready for whatever was thrown at me. Once we got home I would have never been prepared for what my mama told me.

"HOME FINALLY!" "HERMANO WHERE YOU AT?!" I was ecstatic to see my twin brother after 6 WHOLE FUCKING YEARS! But then my mama sat me down to talk.

"Where's tio?" 

"Don't worry he's just at work."-mama

"oh ok, what about Robin?"

"I have some...Bad News." -mama

She started to tear up and her tears turned into sobs. I didn't need to even hear a single word to understand what was going on. My brother was dead. I just nodded and told her she could talk when she was ready. The reason why I didn't cry when she explained what happened is because while in boarding school my mama also signed me up for boot camp. They were scary there and would beat the living shit outta you for no goddamn reason. And if you cried...you'd be fucked. So I didn't cry, but oh trust me I fell apart on the inside, I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and throw anything in sight. I wanted to die in that moment and everything seemed to stop for one moment. It felt like life wasn't real anymore as so many memories of me and Rob (my nickname for him) came flooding in, from when I got beat up by a bunch of older kids and Robin taught me how to fight that same day to the day mama was through with my bad grades and suspensions and announced she would be sending me away to boarding school.

The day my mama sent me away me and robin traded our bandana's I gave him my blue one and he gave me his black one. Our plan was to trade them back once I got home but it looks like the universe had a different plan. As he'll never get his to wear his old bandan again. 

As I was still processing what she said to me she opened my hand and placed my old bandana in my hand, the same bandana robin would've given back to me. But now I was stuck with both plus a horrible reminder he'll never come back home. 

"I'm so sorry mi amor."-mama

"I'm gonna go finish unpacking" I said in disbelief with zero emotion 

I'm not sure what's worse about all this, the shock of what happened, or the ache of things that never will. I felt as if I was a zombie that couldn't show any emotion and it felt like absolute shit. And on top of it all, my first day of school is tomorrow and I have to deal with a bunch of rats for 7 hours straight. Great...just. fucking. great...
