"Rose!" I yelled as I watched her disappear through the hospital doors. I sat down on one of the seats, my elbows on my knees, and looking down trying to figure out where she could've gone.

"I'm going to search through the hospital. Be right back." Dave ran through the doors.

"Shit." I muttered under my breath. Switching the engine off, I heard my phone ring and took it out of my pocket hoping that it was Rosia. I sighed as I saw Dave's name written in big black bold letters.

"Ashton, have you found her?" He asked with panic in his voice.

"No, I haven't found her yet. I've searched the whole neighborhood but there's no sign of her." I heaved a sigh.

"Just look around one last time son, I'm sure you'll find her."

"Let me know if you find her." I said before ending the call.

I closed my eyes, throwing my head back against the seat. Where could she be I thought to myself. I jerked up and started the engine thinking about only one place.

I was greeted by harsh winds as I got out of the car after parking the car in the parking lot. Putting on my black leather jacket, I searched the park until my eyes landed on a bench with my girl lying down. Her curly hair blowing in the wind as her body remained still, no movements.

Smiling, I walked towards her. After two and a half hours of driving through the whole city, I finally found her, my Rose.

"Needed some alone time?" I questioned, sitting next to her on the bench.

She jerked up before settling down after seeing that it was me. "Yeah, I needed to clear my thoughts."

"I figured."

"It's been a tough day for me." She sighed.

"Come here." I opened my arms.

I wrapped my arms around her, inhaling her rose scent.

"I don't like seeing you hurt."

I closed my eyes as I felt her arms tighten around me. "Why her? Why not me?" She said, sobbing. I could feel her tears roll down the back of my neck.

"I'm here for you."

I loved it when she's this close to me, I wanted her so bad more and more each day. Not in a bad way, of course. I fall deeper and deeper for her and she's not even aware. She doesn't even know what she does to me. How her smile makes my heart pound more or how seeing her cry makes me heart break into a million pieces. She doesn't know how much she affects me both emotionally and physically.

"Don't cry, everything will be fine." I assured her, kissing her forehead.

"Can you take me home?" She asked, her eyes staring at me intensely.

I nodded and pulled her to me as we walked to the car. "Everything will be alright. I promise you." I kissed her forehead.

Closing the front door behind me, I followed her upstairs to her room.

I winced as I hit her back when she stopped mid way on the stairs.

"Ouch." I whined, putting my hand over my face.
