White Roses

Chapter 6

Justin's POV

What have I done? I asked her about her mother! I didn't know she was dead. It's my fault that she started crying. But when she layed her head down on my chest, she looked so vulnerable. When she looked up at me, I wiped away the mascara that was all over her face because of the tears which were streaming down her beautiful face. Her green eyes were shining and filled with water. Her skin was even paler than else and her lips were dry.

Maybe I should go talk to Serine, she knows Rose way better than I do. I'll talk to her after school, and I'll tell her about how I feel about Rose. Maybe that isn't a great idea since Seri isn't really the person to keep things a secret, but she could tell me if Rose might feel the same way about me? That made me smile. What if she did like me? Oh well, probably she doesn't.

"Serine? Can I talk to you for a sec?" Rose stared at me. She looked confused. "Yeah sure," Serine said. "Um Rose, Kian's probably waiting at you. Go home already, I'll call you," she said to Rose. "Oh okay, See you."

"Is everything alright, Justin?" she asked. "Erm, yeah. I need to tell you something.." I started. "You know I met Rose at my work for the first time, right?" She nodded. "Well ever since that day I couldn't get her out of my head." Seri's eyes widened. "She is so beautiful and when I saw her the first day of school I just I don't know." "Justin.." Serine said. "My feelings for her are getting stronger day by day. Everytime I see her I get nervous because I really want to talk to her but I don't know what to say. When she came over to my house for that presentation, she had to leave but I didn't want her to, so I just hugged her. I wanted to keep her in my arms forever but that hug was awkward enough already. And yesterday I asked her if we could go and get our sandwiches together and we talked a lot but then I was an idiot and I asked her about her mom, but I didn't know she's dead and.." "Justin, calm down. I also need to tell you something." What? Why would she wanna tell me something? "Rose hasn't stopped talking about you since the day you met each other. She was afraid. She thaught you didn't like her and she didn't know how to control her feelings. She freaked out when you saw her crying but she couldn't stop her tears. She didn't want you to see her 'ugly', her words not mine, face. You told her that her green eyes fit perfectly together with her pale skin and that made her day. She felt like the happiest girl in the world when you hold her in your arms, but then she saw you hugging other girls, and that broke her heart. But I always knew that you liked her, I told her like a 1000 times but she doesn,t wanna believe me, she said that there are tons of girls who probably like you, and you'd love one of them instead of her. So you should hurry up and find a way to tell her because you're both crushing on each other and," she said.

"You have to be kidding me?!" "Nope, she loves you, Justin!" "Aw Seri come here, you just made me the happiest guy alive."

'She loves you' I couldn't get these words out of my head. I need to find a special way to ask her out. A very special way. Because she's a very special girl. My Rose, my little white Rose.
