Don't Leave Me

The day I found out I was invisable

Sabrina
Today's the big day. Probably the biggest day of my life. I rub my hands together glancing at my computer waiting for the Email. The letter than will tell me if I made it. Everyone is huddled around me waiting for the same thing. Sarah is right next to me of course, Shannon is on my right and mom and dad are standing behind me.
"Oh gosh I'm so scared. What if I didn't make it. What if it wasn't good enough?" I ask Sarah.
She gives me a sympathy smile and puts her hand in my back. I take a deep breath and relax in my chair.
"You have 1 new message," my computer dings.
I stop breathing for a second and stare at the message. I glance up to who it is. Sure enough it's Matt. The guy who will tell me if I failed or not. I click the message with a shaky hand and open it up it reads:

Dear Sabrina Carpenter,
At first I'm not going to lie I didn't think I would like your music. Your only 13 to being with. But after a few verses of your song seamless I fell in love with your voice. I love the bridge and the chorus. You have some sick stuff. I will love to meet you in person in the weeks ahead. I bet you are sitting with everyone so say hi to the family for me ok. Oh and you got the record label if I haven't already said that.
Your truly Matt Decpistion

Tears are streaming down my face as I read the last few lines of the email. I can't believe it I did it. I just got my first real record deal. Everyone hugs me and congrats me.
"This calls for a celebration. Sabrina, Sarah, Shannon bring whoever you want to the party. We will celebrate like royalty, dad yells.
We all run out of the kitchen and into our rooms. I text Rowan, Cory, and Peyton to come over for a party. I bet Shannon and and Sarah are inviting their boyfriends. I can't stop smiling. Today is the best day of my life.

Rose
Today is the worst day of my life. For starters no one woke me up today. Sabrina or Sarah always wake me up. So I'm sitting in my bed waiting for them to get me. It's already 10:30 in the morning. Second dad said there's a party going on. I hate parties. I'm a very shy girl when it comes to being around people. Sabrina or Sarah or Shannon would always be by me in case of a emergency. But I know they are going to be preoccupied with their friends.
"Well Rose today is a very important day for you. You know why because today is the day you finally figured out your family hates you," I say to myself.
I roll out of bed and land on the floor of course. I'm really small for my age. I brush myself off and walk over to the door that leads into the hallway. Walking downstairs I go into the kitchen. Empty. The worst part there is no food for me. I would make it myself but I'm to short to reach anything. Looks like I'm skipping breakfast. With a sadden look on my face I walk back into my room. Not wanting to go down for the party I climb back into bed and put the covers over my head. So no one sees me cry. I clench my hands together not wanting to make any noise. I finally fall asleep to me crying.

Sabrina
It's almost 12:00. Everyone will be arriving soon. I put the final touches on my face and walk downstairs. Sarah and Shannon are already down there sitting in the couch. I plop a seat right in the middle of them and give them a big bear hug.
"I love you guys so much. I don't know where I'll be without you too," I smile at them.
They aww in chorus we group up.
"Ding ding," the door bell rings.
We look at each other and get up and race to the door. I'm the first one to get there. I open the door to see Rowan, Cory, and Peyton standing there. I engulf them in a big hug and let them in.
"Sabrina we are you happy for you. I knew you would get it, Rowan smiles at me.
A small tear slips down my face but I'm quick to wipe it away. We walk into the family room and catch up on things. More people arrive and congratulates me. Mom and dad are talking to the adults. Shannon and Sarah are with their boyfriends. I can't image anything better than this. I have all my family right next to me.

Rose
More and more people come into the house. I'm sitting on the top step looking down at everyone. I'm still in my pajamas cause what's the point of getting dressed if you weren't invited right. I sigh and walk back into my room. I walk over to my desk and pull out a piece of paper and start coloring.
"Yeah I'm so glad Rose isn't down there. She just makes the girls nervous. They can finally be free from that little accident," I hear Shannon's boyfriend snicker.
I put down my pencil and slowly walk over to the door. I listen in to their conversation. They leave and walk down the stairs laughing. Tears are streaming down my face and I'm shaking uncontrollably. Was everything they said true. Was mom not supposed to have me? They never wanted another one. I can't take it. I'm having trouble breathing and my vision is getting blurry. I tumble my way over to my emergency phone. I only use it in times like this. I text Sabrina one simple word. Simba

Sabrina
My phone buzzes off in my pocket. It's a text from a random number. I open it up and drop my phone. I zip out of the room and up the stairs four at a time. Hair flies in my face but I keep running. I barge the door open terrified of what's in front of me.
"Simba I can't breath. Help," Rose squeaks looking at me with fear in her eyes.
I run over to her and pick her up and place her in my lap. I wrap my arms around her and rock her back and forth singing softly to her. Her tiny hands clasp onto my shirt as she shakes violently. We sit like this for a few minutes till her breathing is normal again.
"It's ok Rosy I got you. Shh I got you, it's ok," I whisper into her ear.
She takes a deep breath and looks at me. Tears are outlining her face as her tiny hands release from my shirt. I wipe them with my thumb and kiss her on the head.
"Let's go downstairs," I say getting up putting her on my hip.
She freezes up and starts breathing heavily again. I crotch down to her level and take a hold of her hands. She avoids my gaze. I take her chin and hold it up so I can see her.
"Right here Rose. I'm right here," I smile at her.
She nods her head at me. I get up and hold my hand out to her. She wraps her tiny fingers in mine and we walk down together. I can feel her tense up so I pick her up.

Sarah
Sabrina looks at her phone and drops it running up stairs. Shannon and I look at each other with the same expression. I pick her phone up and go pale. I stare at the word for what seems to be forever. The safe word. I look up from the phone to see Sabrina come down with Rose. Her cheeks are stained with tears and I can tell there's something up.
"Hey Rosy are you ok?" I ask taking her from Sabrina and sitting in the couch.
She nods her head and buries it into my chest. Peyton and Anthony Shannon's boyfriend come into the living room and sit next to us. Rose goes stiff in my arms. I bounce her up and down but she just starts to struggle against it.
"Down, down," she screams hitting my arm.
Taken back by surprise I place her on the ground. What has gotten into her today. She runs back upstairs and you can hear her door slam shut.
