Routes,Hope and Fam

Rose
I woke up to an empty bed beside me,I remember Aaron laying beside me.I got of from my bed hitting my feet on the cold tiles.Dam it's cold.I walked over to the washroom door knocking on it but no one answered I opened the door and it was empty.I went over to the dresser to check the time Its nine so thankfully everyone's asleep,I looked up at the mirror that had a picture on it that was snapped by my Polaroid it brought a smile to my face it was me and Aaron we were asleep and he was holding onto me while I cuddled into his chest our legs were tangled and his fingers intertwined with mine.I turned the picture with the date time and Hope written on it with a wonky faces.Ofcourse Hope.I walked down the hallway when I heard laughter and fight voices from Hopes room.I turned the knob to see Aaron and Hope fighting and strangling each other's hair.
"You guys will go bald leave each other"
"Morning to you too Rosy Rose"Hope winked
"Morning gorgeous"he smiled and patted on the bed
"Morning Monopoly"I looked at the board game
"What are you doing up so early?what is someone saw you?And Hope you are up which is so weird!"
"Too many questions Rose breathe"Aaron said breathing in and out
"Dont worry we will hide him together in the basement"we high fived
"I'll pull you in with me"Aaron said pointing at me
"And then I'll lock you both and I can become an aunt" she said with excitement
"WHAT?"we both screamed whispered at her
"You know when you get bored and having nothing to do s-
"Got you Hope shutup!"I pointed my finger out at her to shutup
"Start the game over I want to play too"
We played and fought for about an hour and nobody won since Hope flipped the game board upside down.
"Lets get breakfast"Hope said holding her stomach
"How do we get him down?"I asked
"Mom is going to leave for the hospital soon and dad for office too so it won't be a problem"
"Lets head down before she comes up and Aaron do not make noise"he put his finger on his lips and acted like he zipped it and threw the key away.
"Good boy"I patted his head and ran down

Mom and dad left for work and I headed to my room to get Aaron.We had to leave for Mavys soon since we were gonna meet Roscoe.Roscoe is Mavys long lost lasting crush they met last when they were in middle school but parted ways due to Roscoe's dads business.Its childhood love.
I ran into my room and to only see Aaron sitting in my closet with my memory box open.He looked behind at me with sad eyes.
"Interesting?"I asked chuckling
"Horror"He Said with no expressions
I sat next to him looking at the what he was holding.It was a shirt with a picture of the ex squad printed on it we printed it on the stall days and shot it there.
"I am betting this is Sarah?"he asked pointing at her picture.I nodded looking at him
"She looks like a complete horror bitch"
"Even they are better"
He took out the video camera and put on the first one.It was the graduation practice
"This is the dance practices we had at Sarah's home.Her Mom was out and dad is mostly out of state so she called up her boyfriend home with a bunch of his friends who had white packets,cigars and weeds with them.I remember Sarah sitting on his lap and sniffing some out of the packet and smoking and the others joined it.I still did not do it I had a feeling in my gut and I did not I stopped myself the thought of my parents came up.Did they grow me up for this?Did they plan this out for me?I couldn't even see it.When this all was over it still makes me cry just by seeing smoke around me or a cigarette anything that's related.My heart aches and my body goes numb.I don't want you to do it because I don't want to lose you.I am still afraid of loving too much which I am currently and trusting someone.I can't open up to my best friend my mouth shields.I am afraid I am too happy and in love right now but what if this all gets snatched away.With every happiness comes sadness and with every sadness comes happiness.I don't want to face sadness"I looked at him who was holding onto my hand and caressed my cheek
"Rose love as much as you can you can now be control it let it out let it make you feel the world the vibe let it flow.With happiness comes sadness Life is a journey it can't be straight wheres the fun.If you are on a roller coaster where's the fun when there are no bumps.And every moment every sadness and happiness comes with a reason.Theres a reason these events took place they taught you a lesson they taught you how to lead your life and chose the right path because no one can chose for you.You have to chose it yourself babe"he paused
"Before you came into my life Rose I got into this shit too but yours is like a trailer which is a movie for you for me mine felt like a marathon.I would go on races,street fights and what not crap.But for a guy it's normal.A couple of months back l lost my twin Shelly.We were the closest of all every moment every minute I loved her more than anything.She suicided and I blame myself if I was there for her if I was home that day she would have still been alive.Dad would come home every night drunk and scream at mom his work load grew and he had heart attacks twice,Mom would have panic attacks,she was admitted in the hospital.One day her panic attack got to an extreme level and she couldn't breathe her lungs got tight and we thought we would lose her,dad realized what he was doing but it was too late because Shelly was at home and she couldn't hold it.She never told me she was getting bullied we found deep scars on her body burn skin,she like hurt herself deeply and never tell anyone not even  me .Stefan was getting married in a few weeks and the girl he fell In love with left him he was devastated that's until he found the real love of his life now and is happily married. If I was only there that moment I could save her.Shelly loved John the back bencher looking nerd who is actually a bastard from photography class.I warned her that he wasn't good for her but then she was deeply in love with him.He cheated on her with her best friend.Both of the people she loved were shitasses.I just wished I saved her Rose my parents arent the one to blame i am i should been the one in her place why did she have to suffer?Why did she have to lose it all?WHY JUST WHY?" he sniffed s tears were brought to his eyes.I hugged him tightly as he  sniffled
