Roses Burn (NOT EDITED)

killing spree

ROSE P.O.V

We walked into the ball with a bunch of snobby women. Me and Alex stole the spotlight from any and everyone as people stared in awe...mostly at the rock on my finger.

....

We conversed with people, mainly Alex did, I only spoke when spoken to. I went to enough balls with Alex to accept I didn't necessarily fit in with these people. I was standing next to Alex as he talked to old friends about work. His hand was in mine making sure I couldn't leave his side. My eyes averted away from the two to notice that I didn't see Angel or Eric in sight. My heart started to beat faster. How could Alex let them out of his sight. I mentally rolled my eyes at that.

"Excuse me I'm going to use the rest room" I said to Alex. I squeezed his hand as he tightened his grip pretending he didn't hear me.

"I think they are overworking their people which is why...." Alex continued the conversation as though I hadn't even talked. His friend looked at me then back to Alex as though he wanted to say something but didn't want to aggregate Alex.

"Alexander" I said a little louder.

He turned his perfectly handsome face towards me with a hard to read expression on it.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear "Rose you better be back here in 3 minutes" he growled leaning away from me.

This time I did roll my eyes at him. I am Rose Winter I listen to no one. He should know this by now.

His eyes didn't miss this small action though. He leaned down again whispering in my ear "You don't want to test me Rose" In my head I automatically pictured a big red button that said one simple word...

...'test' and you know what I did...

...I pressed it.

His friend looked at the exchange. "Your so whipped Alex you can't stand to be away from her for even one second" he chuckled.

"Tell me about it, I love this women with every ounce of my heart" he said looking at me and smiling.

"She's only going to be in the restroom relax Alexander" the man chuckled again.

"Yes, but this one is a magnet for danger" Alex half joked. He let my hand go and I was off rushing to find Angel and Eric. Ironic as it is I actually did have to pee I walked into the women's bathroom, did my business and walked out. I sighed scanning the crowd of people again to see if they were still here. I didn't see either of them, Alex was sitting at our reserved table drinking wine and conversating with a young women I could see her face but her long sparkling grey dress was beautiful as it hit the floor.

I figured I'd let him talk to the lady. As long as she wasn't at his throat and he didn't do anything stupid then I was calm. I went to the man holding a tray of champagne in the long skinny glass, I took one off the tray "Thank you" I said nodding to the man and walking away. I looked around for the 3rd time as I sipped my drink. People started to get up and dance to the soft music that played through out the building .I  saw Eric and Angel  were by the bathrooms holding hands, or more like Eric was dragging her into the men's room. Eric look around suspiciously before going in with Angel.

I walked towards the bathrooms, but something dragged me away from them Alex wrapped his hand around my waist and took my drink with his other hand swiftly setting it down on a nearby table. He pulled me closer so we were now involved in a slow like dance. He leaned into my ear "3 minutes" he growled.

"When I walked out you looked busy" I shrugged, casually dancing with him.

"I also said no drinking" he added.

"Got thirsty" I said licking my red stained lips.

"I also said I handled it" he growled gripping onto my waist tighter.

"Im tired of people trading on me...will you trade on me next?" I snapped.

He stopped dancing, looking me in my eyes "I would never ever trade on you Rose, your my muse your the only thing that keeps my blood pumping in my body. I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. Your unique, stubborn, beautiful, strong, and independent. I can't see myself without you Rose. You cry I cry, you hurt I hurt If you die I die we're in this together I swear to you Rose"

Butterflies.

Butterflies is all I felt in my stomach, the anger I just felt for him vanished like thin air. I knew what he said was all true and from the heart his eyes held everything.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. People started clapping and cheering I saw the flashes from cameras going off but all I felt in that moment was pure bliss.

"Raynne (Ray-ane)" I whispered.

"Huh?"

"My real name is Raynne Winter"

"You have no idea how much this means to me Rose"

"I love you"

"I love you too" he said.

I heard screams then I felt it.

It felt all to familiar.

Blood.

It dripped from my chest as I couldn't even hold myself up anymore.

"Rose!" I heard Alex yell.

I felt him shaking me.

"Rose! No please don't- please don't die" he panicked he quickly set me on the floor as people either ran out or tried to help. He took off his jacket and put it over where the bullet had hit....

...my heart.

I felt blood seep down my mouth.  Surprisely getting shot wasn't the worst pain ever...

...watching Alex get shot was. I suddenly couldn't breath I felt my heart broke. I couldn't hear what people were shouting. I didn't even notice the police were on its way.

His heavy body quickly slumped down next to me diagonally. Blood spattered on my face. I couldn't scream I couldn't move I could only watch as his once full of life eyes turned cold.

A tear fell down my face as I drifted into a sleep which I would never wake up in.

Death.

Calm down lovelies the book isn't over...or is it? To answer the main question:

No this chapter isn't a dream, its real. I know I know [secretly cries]
