Bloody Rose

Broken Hearts, and Souls

-Chapter 6-

Rose

I starred at the white door like he was still there in place. Why did he just leave like that?

I made my way back to the living room and sat down. Gwen sighed.

"I wonder what's wrong with him?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I've only known him for two days.. You're his sister you know him more than anyone else."

"Yeah." She said and starred up at the ceiling.

"Well?" Tom asked tapping her leg.

"I don't know okay!" She said spinning up rapidly.

I jerked my head up at her. Why is she flipping out?

"Geez.. It was just a question" Tom said getting up.

"Yeah. It was no reason for you to get all mad" i replied

"I just need a minute okay" she said walking to the door "You coming" she said and starred at Tom.

"Sure" he said getting up. He turned around and waved goodbye.

I waved back.

Why are Logan and Gwen acting so weird with Tom?

Was it something i didn't know. Did they know more than i did?

Well obviously.

I sighed and went to my room. My parents were out of town. Not coming back until two weeks from now.

I was alone in this big house.

Plopping on my bed i thought of the last time i was in here.

Chase was here. I shivered at the thought of him.

I wanted to forgive him but i wasn't so sure i was going to get over the fact he cheated with my ex Best friend. I heard a thump from my bathroom. I rapidly stood up and looked that direction. I slowly walked by the bathroom door and put my head on the doorknob. I twisted slowly. I could hear my heart beating, it was literally beating out of my chest. I opened the door and got tackled to the floor.

"Hey-

The person covered my mouth. I screamed and kicked like a baby.

"Are you done?" A familiar voice asked.

I stopped and tried to memorize the voice. It slowly came back to me.

"Josh! What the hell?" I said as i stumbled to my feet whilst fixing my clothes.

"I'm sorry i though you were someone else."

Is this guy insane. Who else would be in my room. Who was he waiting for.

I gave him a confused look.

"Josh.. Who else would come here but me?"

"Look, its some things going on that you don't understand"

Really? I've known this guy for almost my whole life and kept nothing from me. Why start now? I sat on my bed.

"Like what..?" I asked and folded my arms against my chest.

He looked away.

"Earth to Josh!" I said snapping my fingers at him.

"Stay away from Tom he's dangerous." He said putting his hands in his jacket pockets.

I wanted to laugh at him for his stupidity. I've known both of them for a long time. How could he be dangerous. He was the sweet, quiet, and innocent Tom. He always stayed to himself even though he had friends.

He was one of the quiet ones.

But it almost made me think. The quiet ones always had there secrets.

And lets not forget the episode Gwen and Logan had a few hours ago.

"How come?" I replied interested in the conversation.

He looked at me and started to say something but hesitated.

"Josh?" I asked waiting for a reply.

"You wouldn't understand, i didn't either at first. Which is why we cant be friends anymore" he said with a sincere voice.

I starred at him blankly. I even blinked my eyes a few times. What did he just say? Could it be that bad? This couldn't be all about Tom. This was a more personal situation now. Was it that kiss?

"What! What do you mean? Was it the kiss?" I asked not thinking out my words clearly.

He shook his head no.

"No, it's- you wouldn't understand Rose its way more serious than that"

I got up.

"What could be more serious than our friendship" i said feeling the tears well in my eyes.

He sighed.

"I wish i could tell you, i really do.. he said grabbing my two shoulders. "Don't cry.."

"Then tell me, you never kept anything from me why start now?"

"This is why we have to end this friendship... Because i can't tell you this. It would ruin you" he said leaving my grasp and walking to the door.

Ruin me? What is he talking about. He wasn't making no sense at all. I stood there with practically my mouth wide open. I felt like my heart was ripped out off my body. My soul even.

"Josh" i pleaded

"I'm sorry Rose, i wish this wouldn't end like this." He said before he left.

Why was everyone quiting on me? Why now anyway. I still wanted to know why everyone was on Tom's case. What did he do? Why is everyone against him all of a sudden?

I went over to turn off my light and headed to bed. Pulling the covers to my chin. All of there voices floated in my head. Tom, Josh, Gwen and especially Logan's. Why was i so drawn to him? I couldn't stop thinking about him. I've only known him for forty-eight hours and this is how i act.

"Get a grip Rose" i told myself and drifted off to sleep.
