Rose ran down the hall, tears running down her eyes. Her vision began to get blurry from all the tears. She shoved open the doors and didn't stop running. She ran past Greg. "Rose?" He saw Derek running after her. "This isn't good." Rose finally stopped to catch her breath. She slowly slid down the side of a tree. She began sobbing into her arms. Derek ran to her side. "Rose.." He tried to touch her arm. "NO! Don't you DARE touch me!"Rose shouted at him and scooted away from him. "Rose please understand, she is the love of my life, and you're just a close friend. I'm lucky enough that Candice let me be your friend." Rose stopped scooting backwards. She hung her head low, letting her hair cover her face. "Oh.. im so LUCKY!" Rose stared at Derek as angry words spilled out of her mouth. "This isn't helping me feel better! Just get away from me, you..you son of a b****!!" Derek shrugged, "I'm not trying to make you feel better, i'm trying to help you grow up!" Rose stood up. "Then why did you chase me?!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. "I needed to tell you this but i didn't know how." Angry tears flowed from Rose's eyes. She trembled in anger. She raised her hand and slapped Derek with all her force. "You inconsiderate asshole!" Derek's face was red from where she hit him. He closed his eyes then stood up in anger. He grabbed Rose's arm. "Listen here!" Derek shouted in her face. "Let me go! You're hurting me! LET GO!" Rose struggled to free her arm. Derek used his other hand to grab her hair and pull her close. "Ah!" "DEREK! LET ROSE GO THIS INSTANT!" Greg shouted from afar. He ran closer and grabbed Derek's arm. "Release her." Derek scoffed. He let go of Rose's hair and arm. "This isn't the last time you'll see me Rose." Rose stood there motionless as tears rolled down her face. Is this the same Derek who stood up for me when i was bullied? Rose fell to her knees and clenched her fists. This can't be happening. "Rose? Did he hurt you anywhere else?" Greg asked with concern in his voice. Rose shook her head sideways. "He didn't get the chance.." She closed her eyes and seeped into her hands. Greg scratched his head in confusion. "What was that all about anyways...?" Rose stood up and looked him. She faked a small smile. "It doesn't matter, thank you but I think I'm going to clean myself up." She sped walked away. She was embarrassed by how weak she may have seemed.
