Rose's P.O.V

Weeks.

Weeks have gone by without talking to Emilio.

To take my mind off him, these days i've been out, being productive.

I went out and bought a new keyboard, the last time I played piano was probably a year ago, and I just needed a stress reliever.

Piano was something I loved to do on my free time, or just to take my mind of things. I've also written all this music for the Piano, but never got to play it.

I also got a part time job, helping Iliana at the coffee shop. It was my favorite place after all; and it wouldn't hurt to get a job.

It has been 3 months since I had met Emilio in the coffee shop, and I miss talking to him these past weeks.

Thankfully Chance accepted the fact I didn't like him, and I only wanted to be friends when one day I couldn't take the flirting anymore.

I calmly explained how he was just a friend to me, and that's all I ever wanted.

Flashback

"Chance you're just a friend to me, nothing more; i'm so sorry." I say sincerely, not wanting to hurt his feelings.

He looks slightly taken aback, as he stutters, " I-i'm sorry Rose, I didn't mean to make you feel like that." Chance explains, feeling like a douche bag.

"Chance don't be sorry, it's okay, it's my fault for not telling you earlier." I tell him, trying to not make him feel as bad.

"I just, I've been having someone else in mind." I whisper looking down at my fingers; fiddling with them slightly.

"It's Emilio, isn't it?" He asks, making me snap my head up, looking at him with wide eyes.

"How? I'm?" I sputter out, not knowing what to say. I mean, was it that obvious?

"It's obvious Rose, and the same for him. He absolutely likes you." Chance tells me, honesty filled in his brown eyes.

"But he's mad at me, I don't even know why." I say sadly, my eyes dropping back to the carpet of Chances apartment.

"He's jealous Rose! Ever notice that ever since we started hanging out more and getting closer, he's been ignoring us both. He's jealous Rose, and you need to win him back." Chance exclaims, while taking my hands in his, sincerely meaning every word.

"Are you sure?" I ask him unsure, what if i embarrass myself?

"Yes Rose. Sometime this week, go over to his place and try to talk to him."

Flashback Ends.

I feel like today is the day. It's been so long, too long. I can't stand being away from him any longer.

So I get up, putting my slightly wet hair into a messy bun, and slipping on a pair of leggings, and a plain black sweater, finally slipping on my checkered vans.

I grab my phone, and make my way out of my apartment before I could change my mind.

The next thing I know, i'm in front of Emilio's place, trying to get myself to knock.

But right as I knock, my hand never makes it to the door as Ivan opens it.

"Um Hi Rose, what are you doing here?" He asks curiously, I mean I don't blame him; I haven't seen much of them since weeks ago.
