Roses (Shawn Mendes & Magcon)

Chapter 12~ explained

Rosie's POV

"Shit, Matt what are you doing?!" I asked panicky, straightening my posture.

"I saw you out the window on your balcony so I thought I'd check on you, why do you have a picture of you with Shawn Mendes?" He asked pointing to the scrap book.

"He's, he was...he..."

"He was what Rosie?!" He asked me impatiently.

"He was my best friend back from Canada. The one who taught me to play guitar, the one who gave me this necklace. The one who broke my heart" I whispered.

"You never mentioned anything about a broken heart?" He said confused.

"I didn't want to, I didn't want you to think of me as some sappy sixteen year old." I shrugged looking at the ground.

"Do you wanna talk about it all? You know, explain everything to me so I can understand?" He asked. I nodded. He smiled lightly at me and climbed over the balcony on to mine before walking into my room. We both sat on my bed and leaned against my headboard. We sat silently for a moment, Matt was clearly waiting for me to talk.

"We met at eleven years old when I moved to his school. It was the first day after the summer break and I was starting a new school as my dad had recently left us just before summer started. Loads of people at my old school had found out and started bullying me saying that it was me who was the cause for my dad to leave and that I was a horrible person so they didn't blame him for leaving. Mom didn't want me took through so she moved me to a different school in the area. I was really nervous on my first day but then I met Shawn..."

***Flashback***

I was going into 6th grade today and I was so nervous because I was joining a new school. I'd never been the new kid before so I didn't know what to expect.

I stared at my mom with a worried expression on my face as we had pulled up to the rather large building.

"You'll be fine honey" she assured me as she rubbed my shoulder. I took a deep breathe and nodded.

"You'll be here to pick me up right?" I asked.

"I'll stand right by those gates" she assured me. I half smiled and nodded.

"Thanks mom, I'll see you later. I love you" I said giving her a kiss on the cheek and getting out of the car.

I started following other students through the gates and into the school. I clutched the rucksack which sat on my back with both hands on each strap as I kept my head down. I walked up the four steps and soon the warmth hit my face making me look up. People were already in groups, clearly catching up with there friends due to it being the first day back. Me, I had no one. I knew no one.

Thankfully during the summer break mom and I had come here for a meeting with the principle so I knew where the main office was to get my schedule.

"Ah Rosie how lovely to see you again" principle Graham smile at me as I walked through the door. I lightly smiled at him.

"I won't keep you long, I've got your schedule here let me take you to the first class" he said opening the door for me. I thanked him and followed behind him.

"A ha. Just the person I was hoping to find. Shawn you're in Rosie's next class do you mind showing her the way?" He asked a boy stood in front of his locker. He must have been my age and was cute. He had brown hair perfectly styled and a rucksack on his back as well.

"Umm of course Principle Graham"  he stuttered nervously towards the tall man. The principle soon walked away leaving me and the boy alone. We started walking down the corridor.
