Rose

chapter 6(edited)

"Is that really you Rose?" my mom asked in a shaky voice.

"In the flesh." I say trying to laugh, though I feel like I'm about to collapse. She runs to me and crashes my body into a hug not letting me go as she sobs into my shoulder.

At first my body stiffened but slowly I hugged her back and take in her lavender and rose scent. She pulls back and looks me in my silver eyes that I inherited from her and cups my cheek and she sniffles.

"My baby, how are you here?" Just as I open my mouth she gasps and quickly says, "How rude of me, please come in." As she gestures us to come forward into the house I start to be familiar with as memories make their appearance in my mind at that moment. Hazel and I both walk in and stop when my mom yells out

"NATHAN,

JACOB,

MAX!"

3 boys around the same age come running down the stairs. All of them had blue eyes while the and they all had dark brown hair.

All of their eyes landed on me and Hazel. Their eyes widened and they gasped.

All three looked at mom as if saying, is it really her?

I got engulfed by 3 cold bodies, and smiled the biggest smile I've ever smiled since I had woken up.

My dad I'm guessing looked at me with soft blue eyes like mine and smiled a warm smile.

"Hi princess."

"Hi dad"

I smile a small smile at hi. Jacob came up to me and smiled.

"Hey big sister."he said while sneaking glances at Hazel which didn't go unnoticed.

"Hi Jacob."

I say with a big smile. Mom shakes her head and says

"Oh dear, I am such an awful person not to ask, do you remember us?"

"I only remember you guys from what hazel told me, but other than that, no I can't remember anything."

She nods and says, "Well of course this is your father, and your two brothers Nathan and Jacob."

She says while pointing to each guy. My mom motions toward Hazel and says, "Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here?"

Before she had a chance to anwser I cut in,

"She is the one to help me find you guys, without her I wouldnt be here right now, I wouldn't even know who you guys are."

Mom smiles and says, "Where have you been all these years?"

I  look down at my feet then up to them.

"I was stuck at a cemetary I was buried at, or where I woke up."

Mom nods and turns to Hazel, "Thank you for bringing her home, how can we ever repay you?"

Hazel smiles before shaking her head, "She's already helped me so much."

"How so?"my mom asked. Hazel looks down then back up.

" she was able to get me here and away...."

she cleared her throat as a tear rolls down her cheek and says "away from my parents."

Another tear rolled down, but she wiped it away quickly.

My mom eyebrows furrowed and said "Why would you want to be away from your parents dear?"

she shook her head slightly and said "they were alcoholics, did drugs and was abusive toward me and were abusive to my sister."

Jacob growled lowly and we turned around to see why, but turned back around.

"Were?Where is your sister?"

Hazel wipes all the tears away and says through clenched teeth

"six feet under, she was murdered."

Everybody was ingrossed in what she just said.

She ends in a deathly calm voice. She looks up and see's our faces,

"Oh my I'm sorry, it's just nobody knows about her, I've never told anyone about this."

My mother runs to Hazel and engulfs her in a hug. Hazel seemed surprised by this gesture, but returns the hug.

My dad gives her a side hug and says quietly,

"I'm so sorry."

She smiles and Nathan gives her a full on bear hug. I see out of corner of my eye to see Jacob glaring at Nathan.

What is wrong with him?

I wish I had a sister, even though I have a wonderful family, I wonder what it is like to have one.

She would be great to be part of the family. Nathan let's go amd like he read my mind he asks,

"Can she be part of our if she wants?"

I smile at Hazel. Mom smiles at him and says,

"Only if she wants to." Hazel nods and says,

"I would love to be part of your family."

She smiles and hugs each of them. When she hugs Jacob they both gasp and pull back.

"You're my...."Jacob says. "Your what?" Hazel asks. "You're my beloved."
