White Roses

Chapter 5

"How was your date with Justin last night?!" Serine asked you when you took your seat next to her. "Shht Serine, not everyone has to hear you! Also nothing happened last night, it wasn't even a date!" I said. "But.. You were at his house, alone.. and.. what did you do?" "We made the presentation, we ordered pizza and then I went home. Nothing more happened." "Oh babe, he loves you! I'm sure he'll ask you out very soon!" she said. "Thanks hun, but probably not."

"Soooo what are the ladies talking about?" Harry asked as he came over to us on the bus. "About me I guess, or not?" "You're not that important dickhead," Seri said to him. "Bitch." "Oh I love you too, Harry."

"Do you have any plans on friday night, Rose?" he asked you. "Well I only live in London since a week, its not like I know any other ppl than you two and the other boys where I could make plans with, so no." "Do you wanna come over to my house? All the boys will be there." "Um.." you said as you looked at Seri. "Oh I'll be there too, don't worry," she said. "Well count me in then."

Justin's POV

"She looked so hot yesterday!" I said to James and Louis. "When I opened the door, I saw her standing there, I bet my cheeks were as red as a tomato." "Dude, you should talk to her!" Louis said. "Yeah I know but what do I have to talk about?" "I don't know, just say hi and ask her how she is, the rest will come by itself." James told me. "Yeah you're right, I'll just try to start a conversation with her."

There she comes. I panicked a little inside. She walked over to the three of us with Harry and Serine. She was wearing a Nirvana tee with a black skirt and a pair of black boots. She had wavy curls in her hair pulled together with a tiny bow to keep the curls out of her beautiful face. I noticed that she wears a lot of bracelets, like a lot a lot.

"Hey guys," Seri said. "Hi," Rose said and she gave me a little smile. "I invited Rose to our movie night on Friday," Harry said. Shit. When James told me I should talk to her, I was going to invite her to that movie night. "Well. I'll only come if you want me to come, I'll stay at home if it's a problem for anyone." "No no please come, we all want you to be there! Don't we Justin?" Louis said. Damn it Louis shut your face. "Yea of course!" "It'll be fun," James said.

Rose's POV

You were about to leave the school to buy a sandwich when Justin suddenly walked over to you. You started to play with your bracelets because you got a little nervous. "Hey Rose," he said. His eyes were shining. "Oh hi Justin." "What's up?" "Oh I was just about to get a sandwich." "Do you mind if I go with you? I needed to get something to eat anyways," he asked. Um yes because you're doing this thing to me and I don't know how to control it. I think it's called love. "No, no problem."

We went to the Subway 2 streets further and ordered our sandwiches. "Hey I like your shirt," he said. Yup. My cheeks were turning red once again. "Aw thanks." "So you like Nirvana?" "Of course I do! They're amazing! But my fave band is 5 Seconds of Summer." Oops I got a little too excited by saying this I guess. "Do you know them??" I asked. "I heard they're quite punk rock." "Omg you do know them! And like them huh? You wouldn't say punk rock if you didn't" "Haha yea I do like them." He likes my fave band. I'm falling harder for this idiot day by day. And it's killing me. "So what are your hobbies?" I asked. "I swim." "You do? Do you swim competitions?" "Yeah I do, there's one on Sunday." "Can I come to support you?" Why did I ask that? Oh yeah because I want to come and be with him. But that clearly wasn't a good idea. why would he want me to come to his swimming competition? "That'd be lovely!"

"So how is it to live here in London now?" he asked. Well you little piece of shit changed everything and I don't know if that's bad or not. "At first I thaught it would be like hell. Living with Stephanie in one house, she definitely doesn't like me. I do not like her either so. But now I have Kian, and you and my other friends." That was true tho. "Don't you miss your mom? When is she coming to see you? Or are you going back to Ireland to visit her?" he asked. No. Not my mom. I don't wanna cry, not here, with him. "She's dead. She passed away a few months ago," I said while I kept looking down at my sandwich. I felt a tear rolling down my face. "Oh babe, I'm so sorry. I didn't know she.." he said as he stood up and kneeled down next to me. "Come here," he said as he opened his arms. I tried to hold it in but the tears kept flowing. I lay my head down on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me trying to comfort me. "I'm so sorry," he said again and he stroke through my hair with his fingers. I looked up at him and realised I probably looked like a panda with all the smeared make up on my face. When you calmed down and you stopped crying he held your face in his hands and looked into your eyes. "Has someone ever told you how perfect your green eyes fit your pale skin?" "No," you tried to smile at him. "Well they do," he said with his deep voice. "Thank you," you whispered because you weren't able to speak any louder. If this was a movie, this would be the moment where we'd kiss. And for a minute I actually taught we were, but then I realised that this wasn't a movie. He hugged me again and we stayed there like this for a while.
