What's So Special?

Minding My Business Thinking My Thoughts

Roger's Pov

So as the night went on, Rose came up with something. It's ridiculous, but actually brilliant. She had reached her limit on the drinks, so she suggested that I get a drink, and I give it to her. Well, she was drunk, so I wouldn't blame her. It was hilarious seeing her at first, but she became quiet after a while.

"Hey you alright?"

"Mhm" She mostly stared into space the whole time and it was beginning to concern me. I looked at her to try and figure out how she was feeling, but she noticed. "You know, you gotta stop staring at me like that" She smiled a little which made me laugh even more. I began to wonder how she's the drunk one and I'm not.

"Hey Rose I can't tell if this is helping or not"

"Mm" She shrugged.

"Alright... You want me to bring you to your apartment?"

"Ugh, I hate it there" She put her head down and groaned.

"What?" I chuckled, "why?"

"There's nothing happy about it"

"What are you talking about?" I messed with her little.

"It's all gray, nothing good ever happens" I knew what she was trying to say, but I didn't know why.

"Well then, I think we should get out of here"

"I don't want to go to home" She whined cutely. I took her arm and lifted her up.

"Come on, you can't stay here it's getting a little late"

"Let's go to your house"

"Why?" We were then walking to the car and she looked so tired.

"Because your house is fun"

"Ok then" I had no problem going to my house, but what would we even do?

The whole ride there she stayed quiet and leaned against the door. I couldn't help but feel guilty, maybe I made her feel worse. What could she be thinking about? Is she mad at me? She wasn't even sleeping, she just kept quiet. When we arrived she had no problem walking in with me, I thought she would have passed out already.

"Really, are you ok? I could get you something?"

"Uh, no let's just chill" She decided she wanted to just relax with me in front of the TV, which really confused me. "I think it's crazy how I know you"

"Why?"

"Because, I used to be a kid with no life and just enough money, now I'm rich and I know you guys. But I'm still struggling"

"Haha, that's true. Well I'm sorry for the complications we come with"

"I should have expected it" She giggled.

"You'll be fine though" She didn't respond. "Is that what this is about? Are you just questioning us?"

"No no, I've just been thinking"

"About what?"

"A lot of things" She yawned, "God I can't fall asleep" She straightened her posture and widened her eyes some more.

"You can sleep if you want to"

"No I have to stay awake"

"Come on, you're going to fall asleep at one point," I laughed, "don't do this to yourself"

"No I'm fine"

"You want anything?"

"No thanks"

"Ok, just let me know" There was a comfortable silence as we looked forward.

"Roger?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you talk to me?" Everything she was telling me started to seem so complicated. What is she trying to ask me?

"What?"

"Just tell me things, anything" She sat back a little and made herself comfortable. "stories, or something"

"Ok then" I laughed and sat up.
