Black Rose

Chapter 2

Rose's POV

"Angelina! The boys are here!" I scream up the stairs. I hear quick footsteps coming down the stairs right when the boys enter.

"Rosey my bae. How's it going chica?" He says while throwing his arm around me. I cringed at his flirting, but soon started laughing, throwing his arm off in the process.

"I swear Ash, you need Jesus." He chuckles and drops his stuff on the floor and then flops on the couch. I shake my head at his laziness and greet the next one.

"Oh my sweet baby James! I'm so glad you're here!" I say as I throw my arms around him. I kiss his face repeatedly before he finally pries me off of him.

"I'm older than you woman. I'm not a baby." I smile up at him and pinch his cheeks.

"Tell that to your cheeks." I say. Grabbing his chub cheeks. I laugh as he swats my hands away and hugs me to death.

James is also the cuddly type. I found that out when all 6 of us, including Angie, fell asleep during a movie and we woke up to find James cuddled up to Dante. Of course Dante was asleep too.

Speaking of...

"Where's Dante?" I ask looking around.

"Angie brought him upstairs to show him her room." I laughed a little and helped everyone bring their stuff to their rooms and we all started to unpack everything.

As of now Faith and I are unpacking her stuff and setting her room up.

"Where do you want this?" I ask holding up one of Faith's toys. She looks up and starts laughing.

"Oh god. bwahahah. Don't give me that look. I'm not like you. I can't go my whole life without getting some kind of pleasure. I'm human." I shake my head at her with a smirk on my face. I walk over to her side dresser and stuff it in her drawer.

"Yeah well my main focus is Angie. I don't have time for men." She gives me this look that is saying 'you need some for at least a night'. I sigh and continue helping her.

As I am going through her last box, I find the best thing ever. I pull out a picture of her and Ashton. Naked.

OMFG!!! I have been scarred. We all knew they had some kind of friends with benefit thing going on but, pictures?

"Hey Fay? What the fuck is this?" I say in between laughs. By now I'm weezing. Those hoes.

I roll around the floor laughing my ass off. I probably pissed myself by now.

"Oh my god!! That's embarrasing." She groans with a very red face. She picks up a pillow and throws it at my head. I glare playfully at her and hit her hard in the head with it. We were both laughing hard.

"In my defense he is very good in bed, and on counters, and on co-" I fake gag and cringe at the picture of them doing it on my furniture.

"That's just strait up nasty. I don't want to know that stuff. Now I am banning you from doing it on anything besides yours or his bed. Just not on my furniture." She giggles as I try to clear that disgusting image out of my poor mind.

"You know you love me." I scoff and look at her.

"I fucking hate you." I say. She laughs at my expression and we finish up her room before going to find the boys.

We were all in the living room watching Harry Potter movies. Angie insisted that we watch every single one. Dante and James were on the couch. Faith and Ashton were snuggling on the love couch, and Angie and I were snuggling on the floor. Everyone besides Angie and I fell asleep. I don't go asleep until I know that she's asleep. But she doesn't seem tired. Or there's something on her mind.

"What's wrong Angie?" She turns around and looks up at me.

"Why can't I call you mommy?" She ask, taking me by surprise.

"Where did that come from?" I see a tear fall down her cheek and I immediately sit up, taking her into my arms.

"The kids at school said that I'm pathetic and weak and then they said that mommy and daddy left because I am ugly and no one loves me." My breath hitches and feel my eyes getting watery.

"Don't listen to them baby. You are beautiful and I love you so much. And so do Faith, Ashton, James, and Dante. You are not pathetic or weak. You are so strong and they left because they don't love me. So please don't blame yourself. I'm sorry baby girl. Tell them that your mother is very beautiful and sweet and that no matter what happens, will always protect you." I said to her smiling as best as I could. How could people be so cruel?

I've gotta give her something that she's never had. A mother. And I'm the only one who could fit that roll.

"I want a mommy, Rosey. I want to be read stories and tucked in to bed." My heart kept breaking and I realized that maybe I'm not a good enough mother for her. But the least I can do is try.

"I'll be your mommy. Ok? I love you baby girl. If they say anything again, tell the principal and I'll come right away." She nods and leans into me. I look up at the ceiling and try not to cry.

Don't cry Rose. You're strong. You're fearless. You're fine.

I take a deep breath and wait for Angie to fall asleep.

Once her breaths are even, I pick her up and carry her to her new room.

I lay her softly on the bed and tuck her in.

She's so innocent. So young. I'm scared that she will become a mess up like me. That's why I need to make sure to raise her right.

I look at her peaceful face and sigh. I lightly move her hair out of her face and rub her cheek with the pad of my thumb.

"I love you sweetheart." I say and smile. She will always be my first priority.

I kiss her forehead and walk to my room.

I go check on everyone else and then go to my room and let sleep take over.

I need to protect my sister like a mom protects her daughter.
