Run Away J.M.

34

Rose's pov

I peek my head through the front door to see no one in sight. I close it slowly, walking down the hallway.

I follow the sound of the television playing leading me to the living room.

I watch Zach cuddle into my mom's arms, and a little smile grows on my dad's face.

I slowly walk into the room, and my mom turns around, and her eyes widen.

She jumps up, running to hug me. She wraps her arms around me and I slowly hug her back.

My brother soon joins the hug as my dad stands next to all of us. A few minutes later we all stare at each other in silence.

"L-Let's sit down" My mom stutters, as we all find our way to the couches.

"Rose, we are very disappointed in you, you know?" My dad starts and I nod my head.

"Yes, I know you are upset, and I know what I did was wrong. I realize my wrong doings now, I can't go back and change them" I whisper, as my eyes fill up.

"Zach, please go upstairs" My mom whispers as I try to hold my tears back in front of them.

I watch as Zach walks upstairs and gives me a weak and small smile, as he continues walking.

"It just f-felt so right in the moment" I stutter as my mom comes next to me, and hugs me.

"How did he treat you?" My dad says, as he leans back on the couch.

"He was so caring, l-loving even" I stutter as my mom makes circles with her thumbs on my back.

"I fell into his trap" I say as a tear falls down my face, and my mom quickly wipes it away.

"The officer that dropped me off, Jack, is taking me to therapy tomorrow" I smile, trying to hold back my tears and be happy.

"I'm proud of you for admitting yourself, Rose" my mom says and I nod my head.

"Why don't you go upstairs and some rest, okay darling?" She says and I nod my head once again.

I walk upstairs to my room, looking around, nothing even moved from when I had to leave.

My unmade bed, the curtains open all of the way, to the clothes on the floor, everything was the exact same.

I walk to my bed and fix all of the blankets nicely. I turn around seeing it's nine twenty at night.

I throw on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, and turn on my television. I press a random movie and walk to my bed.

"Rose someone is here for you!" I hear my mom yell, and my eyebrows furrow.

I walk downstairs, and straight to the front door, trying to peek around my mom.

My eyes widen when I see Jack standing at the door with about sixty dark red roses, and I sigh.

"Jack, you didn't have to come here and-" I get cut off by Jack rolling his eyes and laughing.

"Rose, how could I not come here for your birthday" he says, handing me the roses, and I hold them in my arm.

I look at my mom looking back and forth between us, and I let Jack come in the house.

"Mom, this is Jack" I say looking at Jack, "Jack, this is my mom" I whisper.

"It's nice to offically meet you, Mrs.Reilly" Jack says shaking her hand slowly.

All three of us stand in the room akwardly, and I look over at my mom slowly.

"Mom, can we have a mintue?" I ask, and she nods walking out of the room, leaving just us.

"Thank you for the roses, Jack" I whisper, and he pulls me into a tight hug.

"It's no problem really. Happy Birthday, sweetheart" he says, and I smile.

"Thanks, Jack" I say and he nods, pulling away from our hug.

"I'll let you get some beauty sleep now" he laughs, and I laugh a little bit also.

"I will pick you up tomorrow, okay?" He says and I nod my head once again, as he walks out of the door after we say our goodbyes.

I carry the flowers up to my bedroom, throwing out the dead ones already in the vase, and replacing them with the new ones.

I lay down under the covers and lay my head on the pillow, watching the television.

I jump back up, remembering about the envelop. I run over to my pants and slip the note out from the pocket.

I slowly sit back up on the bed, my eyes not leaving the paper envelop in my hand.

Why would Ryan put so much effort into a birthday letter for me?

Wait, Ryan can't have feelings for me, can he?

No, he can't. He knows there is too much going on in my life to confess any feelings now.

I rip the top open, slipping out a little piece of white paper and a big cream colored paper from inside.

I pick up the little piece that says 'READ FIRST' and unfold it.

Dear Rose,

I had found this letter, and I firgured it was meant for you. Happy Birthday.

From,
Ryan

I bite my lip, hesitating to even pick up the bigger piece of paper. I take in a deep sigh quickly picking it up.

I unfold it slowly, as my eyes scan the long letter, and I start from the top of the page.

Dear My Princess,

I am writting this note three months in advance so I have the time to think of everything I need to tell you. Hang in there because I still don't know where to start. Your eyes light up my life. Your personality is what makes me smile. Your happiness is what keeps mine. I feel as if your mood reflects on me. I can easily say that are are the absolute best thing that ever happened to me. My world revolves around your smile. Ah, that smile. I feel as if just one look at that smile cleared my whole mind of evil. I know we have had our rough patches, manly because of me being stubborn. I still pray everynight that you will never get tired of me. That you will never fall out of love for me. I pray that someday God will give us a world of endless peace together. I pray for your safety. I pray that god will take me first so I will never have to watch you leave. I pray that whatever comes our way that we will still stand strong. I believe that what we have is everlasting. I want the last lips to be upon yours to be mine. I want to be with you until my very last breath, for you to lay with me when my eyes are open for the very last time. I love you, Rose.

Forever and Always,

Jason D. McCann

I let out a loud cry as I place the letter next to me on the bed. I place a pillow over my face, crying into it.

I fall backwards onto the bed, letting all of my tears soak into the pillow.

I turn around on my stomach, pushing the note in my underwear draw.

I force myself to stop crying and fall straight sleep before I start thinking of that man again.
