Never Loved

Chapter 3 --- Family

"We can't date." "Why?" "I'm your boss, Matt." "And?" "And no." "I get it, you don't like me." "I do. But I've never been in a relationship, ever." I look at him and he looks super surprised. "What? Really?" "Does it look like I'm lying?" I look down ashamed. "Hey, look at me. I was just surprised because you're so beautiful." "Oh." I smile at him. Someone knocks out our hotel door and I go to answer it. Still carrying my smile from before I open the door and turns to a frown. Then the whole room goes black.

Matt's POV

As Rose falls to the ground I run to catch her, barely making it. I bring her to the single bed and lay her down.

I walk towards the figure in the door frame. "Who are you?" "I'm her mother. Matthew, it's been awhile." "It certainly has. May I ask, why are you here? How are you here?" "I took the easy way out. Where are her siblings?" "Siblings?" I ask infisasizing the s. As in, more than one? "Yes, dear. Her sister and her brother." "She has a brother?" "Marcus." "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've never heard about him." "Oh." "Is that all?" "No. I need to talk to your father." "Why?" "I need to ask him about Marcus." "What would he know?" She avoids the question. "I need his number." No, you don't. "I also need to talk to my Rose." My next words leave my mouth before I can stop them. "No. She's not yours, she's mine, you lost her a long time ago. You left her thinking her parents were dead! She was 16 and you left her with your 14 year old daughter! She keeps the secrets about you from Melissa! You lost her. You need to leave, now." I need to calm down. "Matt? What happened?" I hear Rose's beautiful voice from behind me. "Rose-" "Mother?" "Oh, Rose!" Rose backs up from her mother's hug. "Don't touch me. Go. Now." "If that's what you really want, then-" "It is." She leaves without back.

"I'm sorry, Matt." "It's fine." After a moment of silence a question pops into my head. "Do you know who Marcus is?" "No." "Why?" "I was just wondering." It's around 11 now and my beautiful Rose is clearly tired. "Do you want to sleep?" I ask her but really I'm telling her. "Yes." She shakes her head up and down and lays in the bed. And soon after I join her feeling quite tired myself.

Rose's POV

When I open my eyes, I see Matt still asleep. I take a shower and get dressed. Hmm, me and Matt don't have anything to do today, perhaps we could go on a date. Woah. Is this what happiness feels like?

As I walk out of the bathroom, I see Matt start to wake up. "Why didn't you wake me up?" "You looked so peaceful." "Oh." My thought from earlier come to mind. "Do you want to go on a date with me?" I suddenly feel embarrassed. What will he say? "Of course." I'm guessing he notices because he gives a reassuring smile.

Once Matt is ready, we head outside to the rental car. Matt open the passenger side door and I climb in as he climbs in the driver side seat. "Where are we going?" "It's a surprise." "Ok.

We arrive at a small restaurant, clearly family owned. Small and charming. I step out of the car and we both walk in. "Table for two please." "Of course, sir." I smile when he smiles at me. "Follow me please." We follow his to a small table with only 2 seats.

"Rose." I look to the person calling me and sigh. "Could you leave me alone, you've pretty good at for the past 5 years that I thought you were dead!" My words seem to hurt her but I don't care. "Rose, please dear, come talk to me outside." I look at Matt and he nods in approval. "Go. But don't be too long." "Alright." Talk about being protective. I stand from my seat and walk outside to talk to my mother.

"Rose." "That's my name." I say hatefully. "I should her never left you and your siblings." "Me and Melissa are just fine." "What about Marcus?" Marcus? "Who's Marcus?" "Your brother." "I have no idea who that is." "I asked Thomas to keep him." "Matt's dad? Why him?" "That's Marcus's father." Woah, what? So I could be related to Matt? Oh. "How come you never told me?!" "If you come with me, I will explain." I leave with my mother, not even thinking about Matt. Me and Melissa have a brother. A brother we never even knew about. This is probably how me and Matt became such good friends. Our parents were always together. Me and Matt could be related. How will this effect our relationship?
