Recap

Rex’s POV (Flashback)

“I’m coming with you.”

“I can’t deal with- wait what?” I said just catching what he said.

“I said I’m coming with you.” He repeated as he went back to the door to get his bags. What is he doing!

“I couldn’t ask for you to leave everything here! You stay. This is my problem. You shouldn’t have to suffer.” I shook my head.

“Dude. You’re the reason why I still stayed here. You’re the one that made me embrace my blindness and be proud of it. You made me stand up for myself and not take any one else’s crap anymore. I owe you.” he put a hand on my shoulder. The corners of my mouth twitched upwards.

I gave him a big bro hug. “Thanks Jerry. You’re really like a brother to me.” He broke the hug and started groping around for his luggage.

“Let’s get going then bro! But really can I ask you one question?” he said as we started rolling our luggage down the driveway to my car with only the light of the streetlight.

“Do we REALLY have to move to New JERSEY? Like seriously there are 49 other states out there and THAT’S the best you could do?” he begged whining.

I rolled my eyes. This was gonna be a long flight.

Chapter 11

Rose’s POV

Rex has been still for a little while. We were slow dancing, surprisingly and then in the same stance we were in, he just froze. It’s been about a minute I think. I waved my hand in front of his eyes. Nothing. I hope he’s okay. He looks fine. Maybe he’s deep in thought. Ugh what if he is? Were not even THAT good friends that we can share stuff like that. Maybe he needs an actual friend. I sighed and called Jerry and spotted him chatting up with Lyla, with her date Ben nowhere to be seen. He’s keeping her company while? Aww! The conclusions that formed in my head made my heart soar! That’s so cute. What was I supposed to be doing again? Oh right. STOP GETTING DISTRACTED!

“JERRRYYYY!!!” I yelled as quiet as I could but so he could still hear. He heard me the third time and followed the sound of my voice as I kept repeating his name when he started to turn the wrong way. I shook my head back and forth with a grin on my face. It still amazes me that he can’t see.

When he reached us, he accidently brushed shoulders with Rex’s statue.

 “Its Re- err Ryan.” I told him, as he opened his mouth to apologize ,correcting my slip up. He nodded in understanding but then his dark golden hair bounced when he jerked his head up as if just realizing something.

 He wagged his eyebrows when he realized what was going on and figured out our position and the music playing in the background. I rolled my eyes and pointed to his best friend. Who was still spacing out.

“HELP HIM!” I whispered

He stepped over and checked his pulse and waved his hand in Rex’s face. But Rex was staring dead straight ahead.

“Rose. Can you see what he is staring at? Look where he’s looking at.” Jerry told me

“Okay. Umm…” I looked in the direction Rex was staring at. There was the punch bowl and couples dancing. I pinpointed his vision down to one person. A girl. What the heck? Lemme guess, an ex? I rolled my eyes.
