I woke up this morning laying on Michaels lap. I look up and see Michael still sleeping. It's so cute his hair is in his face and it more messy than normal. I get up slowly and walk our of the room and downstairs to the kitchen to get some water and a banana. I go back to my room and see Luke sleeping on the bed I take a picture and then get cloths to change into and go into the bathroom. I get a shower and change. I find my eye liner and then curl my hair and leave the bathroom. I throw my cloths into the basket and eat my banana and drink my water. By the time I'm done with them everyone is awake exempt for luke so I walk over to luke and cover him with a blanket and walk out and downstairs. I walk into the living room and Liz is there. "Afternoon Rose how'd you sleep?" She gets up and walks over to me. "Pretty well the boys kept me up most of the night playing fifa thought" we both giggle and I tell her that I'm going to go outside. I find my way to the back door and walk off the deck. I go over to the flowers next to the fence and lay down looking up at the clouds. It's so much prettier here. Everything is even the trees, they're more green than they are in america. Just then I hear a noise that pulls me out of my thoughts. And someone lays down next to me. "Want some company?" He says as he fixes his hair before putting his head down again on the grass.
"Sure I was just thinking" I say looking back up at the clouds. I mean I do want to be by myself right now but it's better if I have someone to talk to. "Can I tell you something" I mean I think he will understand where I'm coming from with this.
"Sure" he says as he props himself up on his arms and looks at me
I don't want him to think that I don't like it here or anything but I can't hold it in."I miss america. I miss Lillian. I miss the crapy trees and the crapy oceans and the crapy air. But I love it here. I love that I have a family but to come to that family I had to give up the one thing that was holding me together over the last 18 years and I feel horrible about it. I mean in a few months she'll be able to leave but where will she go. she has nothing to go to no one to go to." I say and I can feel tear building up in my eyes. I don't want to cry it makes me feel weak and that's not me.
"I'm so sorry Rose but we love you. Even though I've only knew you for a few days I still love you like you were never gone. Like we grew up together. I would do anything for you." Luke say and puts his hand on my shoulder.
We both look out at the trees and the birds flying. After a few minutes we both walk inside and he goes upstairs. I go over to the table and text michael. 
*text* Rose: Hey Mike do you guys have guitars around the house?
*text* Mike: yeah but I'm not there right now I'm at my parents I'll come get you. I have a few at my place.

"Im gonna go downstairs" I get up and go down to the basement. I sit down and I see something in the corner but it's dark and I can't find the light switch so I keep walking. The light then goes on and I jump back. "Just the lights rose" I keep walking and i can see it clearly now. It's a drum kit. I sit down on the stool and to my convince there are drum sticks. I hold them and then start to play just saying. In the middle of the song I put my own spin on it and then go back to the original until the end. I smile and then hear someone clapping. I jolt up and put the sticks down. No one has ever heard me play the drums. It was my own little secret that I could play. Ashton walks over to me and for a minute I thought he was mad but then he high-fives me. "Your amazing, you could probably replace me in the band." He sits down and looks at the drums. "I haven't played these drums in forever" it looks like he's about to cry. "I'm willing to do something though you have a real talent and a talent like that can't be hidden so I'm willing to give you the drums just think of it as my welcome to the family gift" my eyes widen. "There's one condition though you have to play for the boys they'll be on their buts when they hear you" he starts at me waiting for my answer "I've never played in front of anyone at and I'm no good at playing" I say shaking my head. "We won't tell anyone and the boys won't know until you want then to know about it I promise." He walks over to me with his hand out "do we have a deal" he says and I shake his hand and smile.
