Roses Burn (NOT EDITED)

Rose's Gotta Burn

ROSE P.O.V

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I ask worriedly standing in Katie's old kitchen with Angel.

"Rose are you ok? Where are you? We have everyone searching for you all" Eric says.

"Umm still in London at Katie's old house I'll send you our location Where's Alex?".

"He's out" Eric says blantly.

"What the fuck do you mean out? I've been kidnapped, betrayed by my own best friend, and his nut ass sister I watched someone die and when I ask for my boyfriend all you have to say is he's out!?" I'm beyond pissed.

"Wait who's hurt? Someone died? Whe-" Eric gets interrupted.

"Give me the phone" I hear a voice say in the background.

"Hello? Rose I'm coming stay where you are" Alex says.

.......................

3 months later
I'm sitting on the couch in me and Alex's house in London when I hear the front door open.

"Hey hey-" Angel looks at me.

"...Hey" she adds less enthusiastic.

I simply take the wine bottle I'm currently holding and take a gulp.

"Alex is going to kill you".

I look at her with a straight face. Angel grab a the bottle and drinks some of it.

Then we both laugh. "Thank God he's working then" I say taking another gulp of the half empty bottle.

"Rose? Angel?" A voice calls out. A voice that's very familiar.

I freeze.

Angel scurries hiding behind the kitchen counter.

Punk.

I hide the wine bottle under the table just as he walks into my view.

"Where's Angel?".

"I'm right here I thought I dropped something" she says getting up.

"I thought you had to work?".

He takes his coat off and puts it in his hands "Yes I do but I can't leave you guys in the house alone I get worried" He admits.

"We can take care of ourselves" Angel tells him.

"I know but ever since that thing with Dylan and Katie I -".

"Don't!" I growl I can't even think about it anymore, I spent many sleepless nights wondering did Katie really do that. But I've come to an conclusion some people are just greedy. I have yet to tell Alex that Katie isn't dead that I didn't kill her. But I don't want him to worry so I just said she's dead.

"Rose?".

"Yes?" I answer.

"If you guys having problems I'm here...I'm not going anywhere" He says reassuringly.

He walks over to me sitting on the couch next to me.

"I'm ok" I reply leaning into him he put his arm around me. "You don't have to worry about her anymore" He says rubbing my back.

If only you knew.

He goes to kiss my lips then stops halfway with a confused look on his face, he gets up off the couch.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Have you been drinking?" He looks at me then Angel.

Angel looks at me, "You've both been drinking...I thought we have a deal after the last time you guys drunk" he scolds.

"Angel!" I yellled through the house.

"Whatttttt!" She yelled coming down the stairs but forgetting a stair she slid down them. We both laughed "This sucks" I said.

"Mya's a bith" Angel said.

"No Katie's a bith she was a devil in discussing" I said plopping down on the couch.

"Disguie?" Angel replied trying correct me for not saying disguise right.

"Disgust?" I tried to say disguise but failed.

"Dis....dis...disguise!" She said slowly then laughed.

We both giggled I threw the remote across the room then Angel threw a phone across the room.

We made it a mission to try to throw everything across the room including Bottles,lamps,shoes,food.

By the time Alex came home we were knocked out on the floor.

Angel chuckles from the flashback "That was us coping" I say.

"By destroying the whole house" He questions.

"Yes" Angel says pointedly.

"You both agreed not to drink" his brown eyes bore into mines.

"Mine as well get one more taste" I pull the bottle from under the couch and open it then taking a huge gulp quickly.

"Rose!" Alex yells snatching the bottle from me.

"What? You already caught us" I say, Angel laughs and shakes her head. "I can't even leave you guys alone for one day I guess I'll get juilian back" He taking out his phone.

"No!" Me and Angel yell at the same time.

"He's so boring" Angel whines.

"And stale" I add.

"And boring" Angel repeats.

"Then stop acting so childish" He says putting his jacket back on.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"I have a meeting in 10 minutes. Behave. Juilian will be here soon." He shuts the door behind him.

Silence shakes over the living room until Angel breaks it.

"He took the last bottle of wine" She complains.

"Let's make dinner".

"You have a maid for that".

"Ok let's at least bake something I'm bored".

"We don't even have baking supplies".

"It's called shopping let's go" I grab the keys off the table and put my shoes on.

....................

"What are we going to make?" Angel questions.

"It's don't know just grab everything that a baker would use" grab a cart.

She throws baking powder, 6 containers of different icing, 6 cake boxes, sprinkles, chocolate chips, ice cream, yogurt, chocolate, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and some stuff we already had in the kitchen into the cart.

"Marshmallows" Angel says before I can even stop her, she disappears into the aisles. I hate being alone even if its for a second. I look around the store, my eyes following every itty bitty thing that moves. At one point I swear I hear the Ketchup talk to me, I've been staring at it too long.

"Ms.James please come to the front please" an intercom says.

It's just the intercom calm down you're fine.

"Angel" I call out.

I think I see blond/brown hair whip around the aisle but I don't trust myself enough to be sure.

That's until I hear her voice, I freeze completely still. I feel my stomach twist up into a knot, I taste bile in my mouth.

"I would like one Rose please and a lighter" she says her voice sounds weird.

"That sounds like a bad combination" the cashier replies.

"Not all Rose's deserve to grow some need to burn" Katie laughs.

The cashier laughs assuming it's an inside joke.

Maybe it is, maybe it's not her. I didn't want to check, its probably my mind playing tricks on me, the medication I've been taking did have its effects when mixed with alcohol.
