i want to bloom

like the moon blooms
in the night's arms

MYSTIC FALLS, 2007
Rosalee Hart had never been truly happy after her family's death. She had Caroline who was annoying and also a beacon of positivity but her heart was still empty.
Caroline's friends tried to welcome her into their friend group, but Rosie rejected them. They were the popular kids who everyone but Rosie wanted to be. So, every day at lunch, the girl would sit alone outside and eat. People observed her strange behaviour and immediately labelled her as the freak.
This label seemed fitting for the girl. Rosie Hart was a freak of nature. She disobeyed nature's rules and was cursed to an eternity alone.
However, one day, as she sat bored in history, a boy walked into the class ten minutes late. Rosie had never seen this boy in her life before that day. The boy stood still as the teacher yelled at him for not arriving on time. No fear or discomfort was displayed on the boy's face, though. Instead, a smile tugged at his lips as he bit down a laugh. He found the yelling funny.
As he stood in the front of the class, Rosie's eyes and the boy's eyes met. Rosalee felt drawn to the boy, who she later learned was called Nathan.
On that same day, Rosie found herself sitting outside at lunch as usual. However, on that day, something was different. The boy approached her. He didn't talk to her though, he instead sat down beside her. The boy reached into his pocket and pulled out a small object. A joint. He met her eyes again and in that moment she knew she had found happiness.
As months went by, the two of them spent more and more time together. However, they always remained strictly platonic. In fact, Nathan had a crush on Caroline. The blonde hated him though as she believed that he was a bad influence on Rosie.
Caroline was a little right. Nathan turned Rosie into a stoner and cigarette lover. The boy and girl would sneak out of their houses and meet in the woods.
There was a spot in the middle of the woods that had two tree stumps. Two spots for the two teens.
The teens would meet to drink random bottles of alcohol they stole from their houses and smoke copious amounts of weed and cigarettes.
Both teens were unhappy with their life but the more time Rosie spent with Nathan, the better her life got. And she believed he felt the same.
However, one night Liz Forbes came into Rosie's room. She shook the girl awake and told her the news. Nathan Black had shot himself.
Rosalee was distraught. She wailed for hours and refused to leave her room unless it was to go to the bathroom. She couldn't understand why the boy had done it.
Caroline became increasingly concerned for her sister as the days went by.
The only time the girl left her house was to go to his funeral. But during the funeral, Rosalee ran away and nobody could find her for hours.
