Fifty Nine

Rose:

       AND THE AWARD FOR MOST USELESS GOES TO.... ROSE MARIE!!!

        Gods I felt awful, this was humiliating, and weak. I tried to be happy though, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about it.

        We got breakfast and everyone seemed to be in good moods, we got pancakes, french toast, sausage, and eggs.

        After eating Jace pulled me aside, “Guess what?” “What?” I asked him, he grinned, “I got promoted to Sergeant!” he picked me up and spun me and and I smiled for him. “That’s amazing Jace!” I said, kissing him and he kissed me back, “I’ve been working on that for years.” he said and I held his hand, “I’m happy for you.” I said, feeling glad that there was a couple good things that had happened today.

        Tink and Peter were happily humming to themselves as they cooked and I was happy that they were all doing well, suddenly I thought about Tink’s grandma. “You know what we should do, go and visit her.” I told everyone after we were done eating Tink smiled, “Sure, I haven’t seen her in months.”

        By noon we pulled up to that cottage, just as warm as it was when we left. Jace intertwined his hand with mine and said, “What up?” “Huh?” I asked and he rolled his blue eyes, “Something is going on in that head of yours.” I was about to say that I was fine then I bit my lip.

        Gods I had to work on opening up.

        “Earlier with Wendy, I was utterly useless, again.” I muttered, and he looked at me, “That wasn’t your fault, she was using black magic and I’m just happy you were hurt. It was only a memory.” he said and I shrugged, “While I was screaming or whatever I was doing Tink was left to fend for the both of us seeing as though you were worried about me.” He looked up at the sky. “It’s my job to worry about you. Tink had it under control before we got there, I have a feeling.” I sighed and looked at the ground, “Still, I feel like my whole life I’ve been the damsel in distress or something. Hook, Wendy, everything.” I whispered, my hair falling in my face, he tucked it behind my ear, “You’re fine Rose. It’s fine.” he assured me then bent down and kissed me lightly.
