Rose Equals Love

How it all started

"ROSE WAKE UP YOU HAVE SCHOOL!", my step-mom's raspy voice echoes through the ivory hallway down to my red bedroom door. I crawl out of bed checking the time, 6:34, ugh. Another day with idiotic, hormonal....teenagers. I slide into my black skinny jeans with delicate tears at the knees, red Chuck Taylor's, and Slipknot hoodie. Racing down the hallway I see that my dad is still asleep, with a beer on the nightstand. Looks like he's been drinking...again. Shannon, my step-mom, hands me my toast with butter on it while sucking on a cigarette. I scarf down the browned toast and ponder what I should do for the weekend. Maybe some skateboarding, but I need a new board.. my old one got broken when my dad...I don't want to talk about that night. "You should stop smoking."
"Don't tell me how to live my life" she looks at me with a disrespected face.
"S-sorry, I-I was just looking out for you" I don't really actually care what she does with her life. I could care less if she was dead six-feet under with my dad. He's already got one foot in there. Looking at the time I run to the bathroom and brush my hair and my teeth. "I can't be late not again" I whisper to myself. Pulling my fawn hair into a ponytail. Looking at myself in the mirror I can see the bruises that cover my neck and wrists... from..my..dad. Grabbing my black backpack, I run out the door to my car, off to Freedom High School.
Pulling into my usual spot next to Mr. Urie's Mustang. Oh god how I loved his car. It was matte royal blue with shiny black racing stripes and gold accents. I walked into first period. All eyes were locked on me. I was starting to get nervous that they could see the bruises. So I promptly sat down in my usual seat all the way in the back.
I found a note written with my name written in big letters on the front. Slowly opening it and flattening out the wrinkles, I look to see who wrote it to me and it was Mr. Urie... how.. weird...
Rose,
I have noticed a drop in your grades, please come to me at your free period. I would like to speak with you.
-Mr.Urie-
Oh no. I hope he doesn't call my parents. They'd be furious. I'd be done for. Sixth-period rolls around and I make my way over to his class room.
I walk in. He greets me with a huge happy smile and his beaming brown eyes with a few spices of hair resting gently on his forehead. I hesitantly smile, a fake one, and greet him. "So, Rose, about your grades. You've always been an A student, why have you let your grade drop like that?" Giving a concerned questioning look. I look him in the eyes, hoping he would see how much I'm hurting inside right now. I start to tear up, and soon enough I'm sobbing. Mr. Urie hugs me in a warm tight embrace. "What's wrong Rose?" "My life. I...I wish I was dead." I manage to squeak out between sobs. "Why? You're so beautiful and talented!" Looking me in my hazel eyes. I let my hair cover my face and drape down to my waist. He brushes the hair out of my face and looks me in the eyes once more. "Rosie, Rose, you can tell me anything."

She looks me in the eyes. I can see the pain and anger brewing like a fire that needs oxygen. "My parents... they beat me, all for nothing. I can't fight back, I'm too weak. I want to die to get away from them. I have nobody I can stay with Mr. Urie." Tears roll down her tear stained cheeks. I wipe them away and hug her, this time looking for bruises. "Do you have bruises?" "Yea, a lot of them on my neck, and on my torso."
"I'm so sorry this is happening to you.... I-I wish I could help in anyway.."
"Well its already happened, there's nothing you can do that will change that" she says with anger in her face. Like she gets that all the time. She turns away to walk to the door, but I grab her arm. "Wait, I want to know more."
"I-I've already sa-said e-enough! I-I cant tell y-you more, I-ill get hu-hurt!"
"Rose, you wont get hurt, it'll get better. You'll have a new family!" I had already been thinking about adopting her, since she was 13. He has so many opportunities for a better life if she just told me earlier. She was crying into my shirt, then I notices she was having an anxiety attack...
"Rose you need to breathe"
___Rose___
"In out, in out, in out." I kept telling myself. I've been through so many of these that I can calm down within a few minutes. But the thoughts of getting beat... made it worse. A whole lot worse!
"ROSE WAKE UP!!'' I can feel someone shaking me as everything goes black...
I wake up in a hospital room with a gown and an IV in. FANTASTIC.

"Rose? Are you awake?" His facial expression lifted Laing with his mood.
"I guess.. Can I have some water?"
"Sure, ill get the nurse and tell her you're awake.'' "What time is it?" "It's after 5:30. Why?'' "Shit...I'm dead when I get home..." "language Rosie. I told your parents that you had an anxiety attack, and blacked out."
"Why? I'd rather have them thinking I was dead." "Because your safety comes first, even if your parents do what they do." He left the room before I could say anything so I clicked on the tv.
Breaking news
"Girl named Rosealina Williams was reported lost earlier today after not returning home after school. She has long platinum blonde hair, green eyes, 5'11'', 125 pounds, thin build. Last seen wearing red sneakers, black ripped jeans, a slipknot hoodie, and a red beenie. If you see her please alert the police. Thank you and good night." A photo of me was shown on the screen. One from my Instagram. I was posing in the mirror making a silly face. It was my favorite mirror selfie on my account.

I walked over to her doctor and tapped him on the shoulder
"Excuse me?"
"Yes?"
"Rose is awake, she would like some water, and she is declared as missing. Please do not alert the police, she needs to be away from her home."
"Mr.Urie, I can do one of two things you asked for. But I have to alert the police that she is not missing, because if she's not found they will start to investigate her home life, school life, etc." she turned away to get some water.
"Please! This girl is being abused at home and she is terrified to go back! Just please, I beg of you, don't tell them!"
"Please calm down. I am going to alert them that she is in the hospital. But, you have to tell her parents she's here."
"Okay. Fine. I will tell them." I grumpily said with an annoyed face. She's going to stay at my house after this though. She's not safe at home. I walked back to the room, and Rose wasn't in her bed or in the bathroom. Shit. Where did she go? Fuck, she's missing.
___Rosie___
I ran. I ran as far as I could, until my feet hurt. Even then I ran more. I stopped when I had no clue where I was. I was on a bridge with a river under it. I stood on the edge, ready to jump. I stood there contemplating my reasons to commit suicide. I could die because I'm a worthless burden to everyone. I'm a fuckup. I can't do anything right. Nobody could ever love me I'm too much of a train wreck. Somebody's voice broke my train of thought. Mr. Urie's.
"NO DON'T JUMP! PLEASE DON'T JUMP!" He ran over to me in tears and shouting.
"I have to. Nobody wants me!" I cried still standing on the bridge.
"Yes they do, I do!"
