Yours Forever.

Chapter 24

Rosie's POV :
Luke. That name was scratched in the walls of my heart. I knew I would never be able to get over this guy. We were together but I knew I won't be able to take the pain of loosing this person. His love had tied me to him so badly that being away from him was nearly impossible.

It was 21st November, one week after 14th November. The day me and Luke had our first night out as couple. The first best night of my life. Yes, I had an awful life in past. I've never ever felt this much happiness. My parents were never happy together. We were always stuck in financial and moral problems. My father was never happy with my mother and my mother was never satisfied with him. I always saw them arguing and hating each other on every single thing.

My dad considered me the reason of all the fights between him and mom because I was really close to her. She shared every single thing about her life with me and I helped her out with her problems. My father was stone hearted. He took out his grudge on me by refusing to pay my bills and preferring my younger sister over me. My sister, Bernice never thought that way. At first, she was proud of being loved more by dad but as she grew up she began to understand me. She was 14 but she was really sensible, atleast more sensible than me. My mother and Bernice used to tell me that I used my heart more than my brain whereas Bernice never took emotional decisions. She used to think about stuff and felt less. Maybe that was the reason why I suffered more than her.

I would spend days thinking about how to fix the clashes between my parents. As I grew up, I realised that I should stop speaking anything about their arguments. I thought maybe that would make my dad realise that I didn't want them to fight and he won't blame me. But that did not end. Our financial status was going down day by day and my dad became jobless. That was the worst time of our lives. When he finally got his job back after two years, mum decided to shift me and Bernice to some other school than Fortitude because the fee for the high school was really high. My mother always wanted me to achieve good grades and become a more successful person than her.

She never wanted me and Bernice to go through what she had been through. She wanted us to be independent and strong and I always worked on that. I've inevitably tried to work hard on my grades and my personality but I've always felt loveless and alone. I was there to support my mum but I needed someone to understand me too. I never shared anything with my mother because I never wanted to make her more upset. I always pretended like I didn't care if my dad didn't love me much or he didn't care about me but deep inside, my heart cried and I had nobody to share my feelings with.

But since Luke came into my life, everything got better. He filled my heart with love and happiness. He was like the medicine to the wounds on my heart which were there since 14 years. He was like the sunlight to my world after a forever darkness. I knew no one else could make me that happy ever.

I never wanted to lose this precious gift of God. I wanted to hide him inside my heart and never let him go. I knew he could find better girls than me but I didn't want to find any other guy because no else could light me up like he did.
It was Luke's birthday after one week on 28th November and I wanted to make it as special as he was for me. I planned on going out for lunch with him but that won't make it that special.

I just wanted to see him happy because his smile was all that mattered to me.

Luke's POV :
I called Rosie to inform her that I was going to pick her from school that day again because my school was off because some maintenance work was going on.

It was 1.45pm and I left home to pick up Rosie. This time Rosie told her mum that she'd be back home with Alicia. I never wanted her to lie to her mother but there was no other way I could meet my girl. I reached school exactly by 2pm. Rosie's younger siblings Bernice and George were picked up by Rosie's mother half an hour ago so there was no chance of being caught.
