Where Are You Now?

Chapter 4

Rose

"Rose," Nick spat widening his eyes at me.

I crossed my arms and stared at him angrily. Honestly I didn't even get over it. Nick was my best friend. Yea I had Jewel and Zion but they're legit my siblings at this point. It's like whatever. But Nick ever since I met him has been genuinely protective and caring of me.

At least I thought he cared.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Zion's awake-"

"I know dumb ass. Why care when he's up if you didn't care when he was down?" I hissed and he rolled his eyes.

"Rose you have to understand shit wasn't easy on us either. I had to make a living and take care of my mom. Chris moved away and I had to make a move fast. I had to go," Nick sighed and I bit down on my jaw.

"We were so broken Nick. Prettymuch was supposed to stay together for the year- that was the deal!" I yelled and Brandon came next to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I shrugged it off quick. "Don't touch me."

"Ah fuck," Nick sighed nervously as I stepped towards him. "Rose I'm sorry. I didn't do it purposely you know you're like my little sister-"

"I-hate-you-for-leaving-us-" I yelled hitting his arm in between every word.

"Rose I'm sorry! Can we please just take advantage now? Zion is fucking awake! And for the first time in so long we're together!" Nick said grabbing my arms.

I stared at him sadly and a cry arose. He turned his head as Jewel brought over Celine. Nick looked down at my tummy and back at the baby and covered his mouth.

"Holy shit..." he mumbled instantly reaching for her. He took Celine in his hands and his eyes got watery. Tears poured down his face slowly as he said, "Damn it I'm sorry for not being here for this. She's beautiful."

"Well... you're here now. It is what it is," I sighed wiping his tears and leaning my head on his shoulder.

Austin came over and played with Celine as well. I looked at Jewel and she was already staring at me. She widened her eyes signaling shit went down. I nodded quickly at her and sighed. Can't we ever get a period of time without drama?

"So when's the wedding guys?" Austin asked excitedly looking at Zion and Jewel.

Zion began laughing and Jewel coughed on air.

"What wedding?" Zion laughed and I didn't even know how to react. What the fuck?

"But.. you two... I... what happened? I thought once Zion woke ... I'm confusion," Nick said startled shaking his head. The room's atmosphere was so heavy it was enough to choke me to be honest.

"She left while I was dead. And Ed took great care of her," Zion smirked sarcastically and headed towards the door.

"Do you see the time? Where are you going?" I asked as he opened the door.

"Anastasia's! Been a year and I'm trynna fuck. See ya tomorrow," he smirked winking and slammed the door behind him.

The room fell silent once more and I raised my eyebrows. Edwin got to his feet and ran upstairs pushing past Brandon. I looked at Jewel and she leaned forward on her knees covering her face.
