Okay you guys are wondering why there are two different characters. Well they are both main characters but they haven't crossed paths yet.

Thorn ---->

Rose’s POV

“Happy 14th Birthday honey.” Aunt Linda smiled at me and handed me a chocolate cake.

“Thanks Auntie.” I took a bite into the delicious cake and smiled. Today was the best birthday I have ever had. Aunt Linda had taken me shopping earlier and I got a new pair of dark skinny jeans and a purple shirt. Later tonight I would go on a date with Thorn.

“Honey are you alright?  You’ve blanked out for the last five minutes.” Aunt Linda looked concerned. She sat down into the seat across from me in our small kitchen.

“Yeah I am just thinking about tonight.” I sighed and thought about when Thorn called.

Flashback

“Rose honey, can you get the phone?” Aunt Linda called to me over the ring of the phone.

“Ya I got it.” I picked up the phone. “Hello.”

“Hi this is Thorn.” I heard his voice on the other end.

“Oh hi it’s Rose if you couldn’t figure it out. Well you probably could but maybe you didn’t” I rambled. I heard Thorn chuckling.

“So Rose I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie tonight?”

“Yes. Today’s my birthday to!”

“Yes I know.”

“How do you know?” I asked confused.

“You told me in the shop but I’ll pick you up at 7:00pm.”

“Okay bye.”

“Bye.”

End of Flashback

Thinking back on it now I don’t remember telling him about my birthday but it  didn’t matter.

When I told Aunt Linda that I had a date she was actually quite excited. She thought it was a good idea for me to go out and make some new friends as she put it.

“Oh well it’s almost seven.” Aunt Linda pointed out.

“Okay I’ll go get changed then.”

I came back with my new outfit on with a pair of silver flats. When the dorrbell rang I jumped at the sudden sound. My Aunt Linda answered the door.

“Hi. I am Rise’s Aunt. Call me Linda.”

“Okay. I’m Thorn is Rose ready?” He asked sounding hopeful

“Yeah I’m here.” I said steeping beside my Aunt Linda.

“This is for you.” Thorn gave me a white rose. “A Rose for Rose.”

“Thanks.” I smiled at him. A real genuine smile.

“I’ll put it in water. Now you two kids get going” Aunt Linda said shooeing us out the door.

“Bye see you later.” I called to my Aunt Linda as she was closing the door.

Thorn interlaced his fingers with myn and a shiver ran up my spine.

“What movie are we seeing?” I asked

“Harry Potter.”

“ I love those movies” I said excited.

“Me too.” Thorn said and smiled at me.

We walked down the hall.

“Wait how are we getting there?” I asked confused. I mean I was only 14.

“ I am driving.” Thorn said.

“How old are you?” I asked even more confused.

“Seventeen.” I almost choked on my own spit. (Yes that’s possible)

“Do you know how old I am?” I asked suddenly feeling uncomfortable.

“Fourteen.” Thorn said

“Wait how do you know?”

“Because you told me.” Thorn said annoyance starting to creep into his voice.

“Oh.”

When we reached the parking lot he led me over to a black Ferrari.

“Nice car.”  I said.

“Thanks.” He came over to my side and opened the door for me. The jester made me smile even bigger.

“Thanks.” I said and slid into the car heading off to my first date.

Okay opinions on Thorn? 

I know it's short and a filler but I finished working on the plot so the chapters should be more frequent!
