Stars in the Darkness

10. Apologize

After getting Kyle's text I know I have to talk to him about this. He's the only one that I can talk to about these kind of things but maybe he's busy.. A few seconds later my phone vibrated again.

Never mind.. Company is over..😣 I'm sorry Rosalina, tomorrow at school?

I could just tell how bad he is feeling right now, in his text all those dots and even the emoji.. Okay maybe I'm taking it to seriously but, I don't blame him.

Yeah school sounds better, want to meet in one of the music rooms? I reply back to him. Strolling into the kitchen I grab an apple and some Nutella, because that is just one of the best combinations ever. Another 'zzzz' 'zzzz' came from my pocket, checking it I read out loud.

"Sure☺️, room 24B?" I feel myself blush heavily, how did he know that specific room. Not unless he heard me singing the first day of school, I looked away embarrassed at this information.

Yeah, I'll meet you there at 8. And that ended the conversation for now. Hearing the doorbell go off I stop in the middle of eating my apple covered in Nutella. Walking over I open the door and there stands the one and only Riley.

"What are you doing here..." I ask tying to not to sound mad or pissed off, which in this case it is very hard. He fiddled with his pant hem and looks up at me with his green eyes.

"To apologize.." He says honestly. I raise my eyebrow at this sudden confession, what made him come to this conclusion? Not unless Jordan had to do something with it.. Leaning against the door frame I shake my head.

"Jordan put you up to this?" I ask him. He looks down at his shoes and kicks the step. He's nervous. Why is he nervous and what is he nervous about?

"No..," he says simply, my heart stops. Wait, he did this on his own? "I'm sorry Rosie.." He finishes. I take a step back and am about to close the door when he sticks his had out and stops it. Looking up I see his green eyes dilate rapidly, wait whoa, when was his face this close! My grip on the door become stronger, he better not.. His eyes go down below my eyes and starts to lean in. I stand still.

No. No. No! Move Rosalina! Move! I scream in my head. The scent of peppermint gum comes to my nose as he gets closer. I reacted to this closeness.

I shove him away and my eyes are closed. Tears threatening to spill over my eyes.

"Why did you do that Riley! You ass!" I scream loudly at him. "That is not how you apologize to me! And don't even think about coming back here again!" He opens his mouth to reply but I continue my rant. "Especially to kiss someone you beat a few days ago!" I slam the door in his face and slide down to the ground. My mind is racing at what just happened and what was going to happen.

"What's wrong with him?! He just can't go from bad to good in a few days! Especially when he did all the things to me!" I hiss quietly clutching my head I have to get things straight! Bitter tears run down my face, I'm so confused right now! I don't know what to think! Curling up in a ball I hold my knees close to me.

"Kyle," his face flashed in my mind, "Kyle...," I whimper as I close my eyes, I see his smile and hear his voice.

I wish you were here right now..

When my eyes flutter open I smell something cooking, something like pasta and cheese.. Yum.. Sitting up my hair slides over my eyes making it very hard to see, parting my hair I see the back of my mother over the counter.

"Made something for you Rose.." She says turning around smiling at me. I see the white cheese sauce with small pieces of shrimp over spaghetti, rubbing my eyes I stand up and take the pan that she was cooking with and eat out of it. I don't care what I look like right now, after all that crying I need food..

"You alright Rose? Who were you talking to a few hours ago..? You seemed angry.." She says with concern in her voice, I stop eating and place the pan down.

"A kid that beat up Kyle," I reply, hoping she didn't hear about the beating or kissing part.. "He came over here thinking he would be here also...," the lie just kept flowing from my mouth like rush water. "But he wasn't here so, I slammed the door and he left." Okay that wasn't a lie but the things before that, well yeah, were.

My mother nods her head knowing that I lied to her on some part, sighing she takes the pan and takes a scoop of the spaghetti also.

"Make sure you get enough sleep tonight.. You have school tomorrow.." She says taking the rest of the pan and putting it in the refrigerator.

"Yeah I guess I should..." Scratching the back of my head I start to head upstairs to my room. Once I reach my room I lay down on my bed and stare up at the ceiling.

I'm going to have a lot to tell Kyle tomorrow. I have no idea how he will react to any of them..

Riley's 'apology', my dad leaving with the other woman, mom drunk then she wakes up and makes me food.

Odd things, very odd things..

Authors Note: I checked my original outline and I realized how off of it I am😅 oops... When she goes back to school tomorrow I'll be back on track. Oh dear me, what have I done😂 anyways! Hope you guys are being awesome and drinking Peace Tea!!!!💕
