Chapter 10

"Rose when are you going to ask him? It's been 2 weeks." Ted deadpanned to me as we sat in his room, "I don't know,it's just scary." I said and he stared me down before his jaw dropped, "You're trying to get over him!" He yells and my eyes shot open, "Keep your voice down!" I yelled,equally as loud.

"Sorry!" Ted said returning to his normal voice, "But still my point stands,why try to get over him when he might like you!" He said and I shrugged,
"Don't say like,it makes me sound like I'm twelve again." I said and he laughed as he took another sip of soda, "I'm just saying,ask him out,if he rejects you then you can move on." He told me as if he had done it a million times before. I shook my head and just stared at him as he sat on my bed opposite me.

"Are you going to?" He asked and I shook my head, "Right then." He said looking at me before continuing, "JAY!" He yelled and I pulled my pillow up to my face, "Ted stop!" I said and he laughed as I heard footsteps approaching my room.

"What's up?" He asked as he walked into my room, "First of all,knock! Second of all nothing Ted is being a bitch!" I yelled as I looked at Ted,deadpanning towards him. "I didn't knock because Ted yelled at me to come in here! And also Ted's always a bitch." He said with little to no sarcasm in his voice.

"I'm aware." I replied and he laughed as he walked out,I looked over at Ted who was still sat next to me in my bed, "Tell him and I will hide your body with Charlie." I deadpanned,staring at him.

"I won't tell him!"

3rd person

Ted had left Rose's room a while ago,her red decorated room along with her set up and red dyed hair matched nicely to her name.

Ted hadn't promised anything and he didn't plan too,he knew what he would do with the fate of their relationship and with that he was walking towards Schlatt's room and knocking on the door.

1st person,Ted.

I walked into his room after he had told me too and watched him edit his video for a moment, "What's up?" He asked and I shrugged,
"Not a lot,you?" I replied and he just shrugged back, "Editing."

"You know Rose?" I ask and immediately regret it but I followed through, "Yeah?" He asked spinning around in his chair to look at me, "Do you know who she likes? She won't tell me." I say and he quickly rolls his eyes, "No." he quickly turns back in his chair and I'm left staring at him for a moment.

What the fuck was wrong with him?

"What's wrong?" I asked him and he stared back at me through his monitor, "Nothing." He said back bluntly and I shrugged, "You say 'like' as if were 12." He continued and I rolled my eyes, "Rose said that too." I replied.

"Because Rose has a brain." He replied and I chuckled, "Depends who she wants to date." I replied as if I didn't already know. "She'll choose someone good,if she doesn't I'll just shoot them." He said with a dry laugh but I assumed he wasn't joking, "Who do you want to date?" I asked and he just shook his head.

"What? You're not gonna tell me?" I asked him with a small chuckle "No." he says rather bluntly and I roll my eyes, "Look dude I know you have a crush on her." I said matching his tone.

"No I don't." He laughs and I stare blankly towards him, "Well I guess you don't wanna know what rose has been saying." I laugh and walk out of his room before quickly getting called back in.

"Ted!" He yells and I smile to myself, "For fuck sake what has she said?" He asks as I stare at him, "Yes I like her! What has she said!" He says with his nose between his fingers,not daring to look up, "Ask her out,she's liked you for ages but she's too scared to say anything,see you later." I said with a laugh as I walked out.

1st person,Rose.

I sat in my room as I thought about my options,I could ask him out to a dinner but if he said no I wasn't in control of what could happen.

I was caught up in my thoughts before rolling my eyes at myself and emerging out of my room and walking downstairs to grab another glass of water.

I grabbed my headphones off of my desk before leaving and began listening to my calm playlist quietly.

Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel?
I've got a mission and my mission is real
Because you've had your chances, yeah you've had enough
I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love

I hummed to the song,singing softly to myself as I grabbed a glass out the cupboard,pressing it underneath the tap as I let the cold water flow through the glass till full.

I spun around before being met by Schlatt who sat calmly at the kitchen island. "Hey you alright?" I asked and he nodded before standing up "Yeah,you?" He replied and I smiled with a nod as I sipped at my drink.

I wanted to ask,I really did.
Rose just blurt it out,for fuck sake just say it,say it now.

"Do you want to go to dinner tomorrow?"
