I am your pride
Agent of wealth
Bearer of needs (And you know it's right)
I am your war
Arming the strong
Aiding the weak
I am your wrath
I am your guilt
I am your lust (And you know it's right)
I am your law
I am your scar
I am your trust
Shepherd Of Fire ~ Avenged Sevenfold
Rosie's POV
"Are we going?" Blake called out to me from the bedroom.
"I'm almost ready." I told him, walking in.
We were heading back to the hospital to pick up Peyton and take her home.
We left late last night, but Matt had still been there.
"She'll have to stay here." Blake said.
I laughed. "You actually think Peyton will stay here?"
"Well how is she going to manage with a broken wrist?"
"It's Peyton." I said grabbing my purse. "She'll manage."
I started following Blake to the front door when my phone started ringing.
"You go, I'll be out in a sec." I told him, digging in my bag looking for it.
It was Matt. He was meeting us at the hospital.
"What's up?" I answered.
"Oh hey Rosie." He said quietly. "I don't think I can make it."
"To the hospital?"
"Yeah."
Well wasn't that nice!
Suddenly I heard a voice in the background, it was her. Imagine that.
"Yeah okay Matt, whatever." I snapped.
"Rosie." He hissed. "Please."
"Please what Matt, you make me sick." He just didn't know what he was doing, hanging out with Tess all the time then sucking up Peytons ass.
"Rosie I can't do it."
"Can't do what?" I snapped.
"Yesterday scared the fuck out of me Rosie and I just don't think I'm ready for that again."
I closed my eye's, rubbing my forehead.
Scared the fuck out of him, he was beside himself at the hospital, it was clearly obvious that he cared for Peyton but I could also understand what he was saying. I knew this would happen, he just wasn't ready.
"I understand." I said softly.
"Okay."
"But Matt that's it then." I said.
"What do you mean?" He asked me.
"No calls, no lunches, no nothing, she's out of your life, no contact, it's only fair." I didn't want him fucking with her feelings anymore than be had.
"Alright." He mumbled.
"Excellent, well I'll see you later." And I hung up, heading to the car.
I was quiet on the way to the hospital, I was upset for my friend and I was a little angry at Matt. He'd led her on, he really had and I'd warned her, I just knew this would happen.
Luckily enough Peyton had been unaware that Matt was supposed to be meeting us at the hospital, so she was blissfully unaware that he wasn't coming anyway and I knew she'd never call him, even if she never heard from him again.
We drove her to her house and I decided to stick around, keep her company, well look after her a little. She was clearly in pain, even if she continuously denied it.
"Ugh, look at this." She moaned from the couch.
I sat next to her and looked at her phone, she was on Tumblr and there was photos of Matt and Tess, and people saying how perfect they looked together.
"Eh, who cares, let her have him." I told her.
She sighed. "Yeah, you're right Rosie. I don't want that."
I watched her put her phone down, and I felt horrible because I think she did want that and that ass had broken her heart.
"Pffft no you don't, let her have him and his baggage."
She nodded and smiled at me.
Goddammit, I wanted to kill him, but instead I made lunch. I know, what a shock, I actually made lunch, if ordering take out counted as making lunch but I was queen of lazy. And I was so hungry.
"Thank god." I said to Peyton when I finally heard the knock on the door. This child in my womb was starving.
I jumped up and threw the door open. "About time." I cried.
Only it wasn't food, it was Matt, standing there with his hands shoved into his pockets.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed, pulling the door closed behind me.
He shrugged and looked at me, he looked sad. "I couldn't do it Rosie."
"Couldn't do what?"
"Not see her again, I couldn't do it."
Well fuck.
