Sparks without a flame

Chapter 2

"Mhhhhhhhhhhmmm" I groan as I wake up way too early "2 am?! Fr" i say to myself. I've only slept for an hour? As I look at my phone I see a message from Sunday and Arlo

Heyyyy rose!!! You coming over for breakfast?? At 9am!!

of course, but why text so early??

idk, so you knew, goodnight my pretty rose

goodnight my lovely Sunday

As I send the message I see Arlo has texted again

yo rose, wanna hang with me Elliot and well that grumpy ass??
rose???
yo rose Wake up

okay okay, chill arlo Im up.

*Arlos calling*
Can't he chill out, just a bit.
"Who you think you are waking me up one hour into my sleep, I-" "okay okay rose I'm sorry, we just wants you to come over. Ezekiel is waiting for you, he's the only one that hasn't been drinking." "But-" "to late, get dressed you have 5 minutes" and then he hangs up on me. This b***h.
I don't know what to wear, I enden up going with some black cargo pants and a basic white tank t-shirt.

"Hi ezekiel" I say as I sit down in his car. He ignores me and begins to drive "well okay, this is gonna be fun." I say as I lay my head against the window. I see Ezekiels hand reach out for the radio and I'll guess  he's going to turn it on.
"I heard he lives down a river somewhere"
"No way! You also listens to Declan McKenna?" I asks very excited "mmhm" he mumble. "Okay well if you're going to be like this the whole drive, let me at least turn up the music" as I said it I began to sing with "oh lord! What have I become? I'm the face of god, I'm my fathers son." He then turns the music down again "heyyy I was singing" I look with one lifted eyebrow "and I was admiring the music but that you ruined. Okay I guess he hates me.

After i don't even know how long, we finally arrives.

"Rose hallo!!" Arlo says running for a hug, "Well hallo Stupid b***t think it's okay to wake me up in the middle of my princess sleep" "baha" I hare ezekiel laugh a little about my comment "and you think it's okay to laugh?? You know what I'm leaving" I know I'm overreacting but I'm tired I have to work tomorrow and not gonna lie I'm not in the mood for this right now "ah come on rose, he didn't mean it, stay" Elliot says "I don't know, I'm tired and-" "I also need to get going" Ezekiel interrupts me "see you later, say hi from us to-" "yeah see you later" Ezekiel says very fast.
"What was all that about?" I ask "well um we can't tell you" okay well let me find out myself. I will hide in his trunk until he's home "I also need to get going, but thanks for the invite" Arlo looks at me with a sad mime "well okay, see you tomorrow" he then says and stands up tog give me a hug Elliot does the same.

I begin to walk as I hear a car "wait." I now that voice "you can't walk home alone at this time, it's now safe" he says whiteout hesitation i hop in his car. "Thank you" I say fast and then shut up. I feel the tiredness hitting me and my eyes slowly closing.

"Hi kiddo!" I hear his voice again "hi daddy!!" A kid says, aww he sounds- I stop myself daddy??? He's a dad??? Well that doesn't explain how he's so grumpy and cold hearted all the time. "Who's that?" The kid asks "that someone from work, I need to drive her home-" "can I come with?? Please pleas please" silent goes on for a minute "I guess you can" "thank you daddy!" I hear the car start and slowly fall asleep again. "Can you take this and open the door for me koko?" He ask polite to his little kid "mhmmm" the little kid says. "Rose? Rosie? Evie?" Evie??? That was new. I decides to pretend I'm still a sleep, because tbh I don't want to wake fully up. I suddenly feels to arm lifting me up, and walking "thanks kiddo, I love you" "I love you too daddy!!" I get put on the sofa and feels a blanket get laid over me, in a few minutes it's silent and I decides to open my eyes they're gone.
