The Circus

Bond

Rosie decided to stay with Rico. Rico shift wasn't over yet so Rosie stayed behind the register with him. Rosie hadn't eaten for 2 days so she was starving. Rico gave her a danish and some water. "So who's this little guy?" He said pointing at Flapjack. "This is Flapjack. He's my friend." She said feeding the bird a tittle bit of bread. "Well Flapjack, are you taking care of my sister." He said stroking Flapjacks beautiful red feathers. "I only met him three days ago but he's like one of my best friends now." Rosie said with a smile. "Did you have friends at the circus?" "Ya. Wait how did you know about that?" Rosie said. "You were taken away from me. They told me where you were going to be. But they didn't tell me exact location and told me if I found it, I will be executed immediately. That's why I was never able to visit you. Did they treat you well?" Rosie looked down at her wrist. "No..." "oh" Rico cold tell by Rosie's expression that she didn't want to talk about this so he change the subject. "You said you had friends?" He said trying to lighten the mood. "Ya, I had some friends, and I had a partner." She said looking at her feet. "Like a romantic partner?" He said smiling. Rosie nodded her head. "Are you still together?" "Ya I didn't break up with him." She said looking at Flapjack who was in her hands. "How did you escape from that place?" Rosie looked sad. " I just waited till the right time and I escaped. To be honest, I don't really wanna talk about it." She said. "Alright then." About two hours went by and they want to Rico's apartment. Rico had noticed her ripped up clothes and brought her some of his clothing. "They might be a little big, but they should work." Rosie had put them on. Rico had given her a long gray Green Day T-shirt, and some black sweatpants. "Do you like Green Day?" Rico asked. "I've never heard them..." "Ok that's going to change." He pulled her into his room and connected his phone to his speaker. Rosie sat on his bed while Rico put on American idiot. Rosie never thought she would be sitting on her brother's bed bounding over music. Half way through the song Rico asked "You like it?" Rosie looked at him with the happiest expression on her face. "This is awesome!" She yelled over the music. The music was so loud it made flapjack leave the room. Rosie felt so happy. The happiest she had felt in years. She was actually with her brother. She was with her family. The song ended and Rico looked at his sister with a smile on his face. Rosie looked up at him and they laughed. "Hay you hungry?" He said. "Ya." They walked out of Rico's room. Flapjack was sitting on Rico's couch asleep. "What do you wanna eat?" He said walking into the kitchen. "This is going to sound weird but can you make crapes?" Rosie said incidentally. "Breakfast for dinner? I like it." He said smiling. "And for him?" He said looking at flapjack. "Can you make him one to?" "Definitely." After they had eaten Rico took Rosie to his spare bedroom. "You can sleep in here if you'd like." "Thank you." Rosie said. "Imma go to bed. I'll take you to the store tomorrow to buy some new clothes." Rosie hugged him. " thank you, good night" she said with a smile. "Good night." Rico left the room and Rosie got comfortable. She got into bed and flapjack laid next to her. As Rosie fell asleep she thought about how happy she was to be there.
