Saving Rose

Bring Me The Horizon

Thanks to all my readers! You guys are amazing! :)

Vic's POV (<--surprised??? ;) haha)

As I make scrambled eggs, I think about what we're doing today. Jaime, Mike, Matt, and Tony are all awake already, and we're planning the barbecue that's going to be at Mike and I's parents' house. I know we're all excited. Jaime seems a little nervous about Rose meeting his parents, since sometimes, they like to embarrass him. The only band member's parents she won't be able to meet today are Mr. And Mrs. Perry. They're in Mexico for a few more weeks, and couldn't come back so soon.

I'm thankful that we have a day off. Since not everyone was able to play yesterday, they're having a few bands play today. I know Rose will want to see Bring Me The Horizon, since they're the only band she likes that's performing today. That's at noon, and it's 9, so it'll work out nicely. We're heading over to my parents' place around 3, or whenever we're ready, really. Honestly, I kind of miss my parents, so I can't wait to spend time with them again. Touring kind of gets in the way of family time.

When the eggs are done, I divide them into 5, since I made about a dozen eggs in my giant pan. Each guy gets a plate, and we all dig in. I eat a little slower, though, trying not to burn my tongue. Sure enough, they all groan and reach for their drinks after the first bite while I laugh, waiting for mine to cool.

While we eat, Mike talks, unfortunately with food stuffed in his mouth. I'd scold him, but he hates me being all 'annoying big brother' like, so I ignore it. If he does that tonight, he'll get yelled at for sure.

"Mom said we can come whenever. Dad's really pumped and won't shut up about all the food he's making. She won't shut up about meeting Rose, though. I guess she's really glad one of us has a girlfriend."

We all laugh at Mike's grumpy face. He hates it when our mom complains about us being single. She's never liked any of our girlfriends, but I guess she was right when she said they weren't 'the one.' I'm already over Cara, thanks to her. She'll either disapprove of Rose, like she did with all of Mike and I's girlfriends, or she'll love her. Hopefully she won't have too strong of an opinion, since she isn't even either of us' girlfriend.

"I hope everyone likes her. If they say even one rude thing against her or to her, she'll break."

Jaime's words make me frown in worry. I doubt it'll be like that, but even if they say something jokingly, she might end up taking it serious. She's still not completely herself again after the suicide attempt, and I would hate for her to go back into her depression.

"I don't think they'd do that," Tony mumbles, and I nod lightly.

"It's hard not to love her," I say, backing Tony's point up. I'm not too worried. They'll probably sense her personality and know not to say the wrong thing. Jaime told his parents about her depression and problems and two suicide attempts and they were heartbroken for her, and told the parents of the other band members. I just hope they don't try to talk about those things.

"Okay, I guess you guys are right," Jaime sighs, amusingly shaking his head and finishing his eggs almost in record time. After downing a glass or orange juice, he speaks. "I'm overreacting. I think she's rubbing off on me."

He's kind of right, about getting the tendency to overreact from Rose. She does that a lot, too much for her own good. It's unhealthy. But it's not her worst problem, by far.

Rose's POV (An hour later [10:12AM])

When I wake up, I'm cold. The AC definitely doesn't need to be on. I snuggle further into my blankets, trying to warm up, and stretch my legs. It doesn't help. I'm still cold, so I make myself sit up and get out of bed.
