ROSE BUSHES - DANIEL SEAVEY

seven.

「chapter seven.」

TWO WEEKS went by and Rose was helping Christina pack for her trip back home. "I still can't believe she called me Lily," Rose folded more of Christina's clothes. Corbyn laughed but received a glare from Rose.

"Rose it was two weeks ago, can't you just ignore the girl?" Christina questioned.

Rose sighed in defeat, "You're right, it's stupid." Rose thought about and knew it was stupid, but the brunette knew she didn't like the girl. Rose shook it off and continued to fold Christina's clothes.

ROSE WAS driving Christina to the airport and Corbyn was sitting right behind Christina. The three were playing music, Rose was singing along like always.

Once the three arrived they walked Christina inside. They all linked arms on their way inside. "I can't believe it's already been two weeks." Rose sighed. Christina set her head on Roses shoulder. "I know, but I'll be back soon enough." The three let go, Corbyn and Christina hugged for what seemed like forever.

When Corbyn finally let go of the girl, she turned towards Rose smiling. Christina engulfed Rose and hugged her tightly. The girls let go of each and said goodbye. Christina walked off and turned around once more, waving goodbye.

Rose had to drive Corbyn back to his place with the boys. Rose started singing one of her songs, 'Say it to my face'. "Tell me, what's the situation? I've been rackin' on my brain" Corbyn finished it. "Just want some answers if I ask you but I know you'll never say it to my face" Rose looked over at the blonde boy. "I didn't know you listened to my music."

"Of course I do, I'm pretty sure the rest of the boys do also."

Rose smiled at the thought of her boy band friends listening to all the songs she's produced. She mentally cringed at the thought of Daniel listening to this song in particular. It's not like she meant for it to be about him, she always writes when her feelings are heightened.

THE FRIENDS reached the house on top of the hill. Rose unlocked the car door to let Corbyn out, "You should come in, I think we're having a pool party today." Rose looked over at the boy. She sighed, "Ill come back later, I don't have a swimsuit with me."

Corbyn nodded at the girl and proceeded inside. Rose drove off back to her apartment and when she got inside she let out a long sigh. Rose changed into her dark red bikini, she threw on some jean shorts over her bottoms, and a white crop top.

Rose grabbed her keys, slipped on her birkenstocks, and headed out the door. She got to her car and sat inside, she started the engine. As she was getting ready to pull out she turned towards the door saw someone standing there.

Rose jumped and gasped at the figure standing outside the window. She rolled down the window a bit and the person spoke, "Hi I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Oh it's fine," Rose spoke softly.

"Can you by any chance tell me where the elevator is?" The manly voice spoke.

Rose stifled a laugh and pointed in the direction of the elevator. The boy smiled and said thanks before walking off. The brunette rolled up her window and drove off to the boys place.

ONCE ROSE arrived, she texted Corbyn that she was there. As Rose exited her vehicle a blonde boy emerged from the front door. The boy waved her over and held the door open for her.

"Such a gentleman." Rose laughed.

Corbyn laughed, "You know your way around here, I'll be outside if you need me." The blonde walked off and Rose entered the kitchen greeted by a curly headed boy.

"Rosey!" She cringed at the name but still smiled at the boy.

Rose got a cup of water and stood leaning on the counter. The curly headed boy sat across from the girl. "Now how did Corbyn get you down here?" He emphasized the word you. "He suggested it, can't let a friend down now can I?" She laughed.

A tall boy walked inside and wrapped his arm around the brunette. "Hey jo," The girl greeted.

"Come outside and swim," Jonah smiled.

"I will in a bit," Rose gave a half smile to the tall boy as he walked out.

Jack waved towards the girl as he followed the taller boy out. Rose sighed and sat down on the stool the curly boy was previously on. The girl heard the front door open and a tall blonde bursting with energy entered the room and another boy followed behind him.

"Well if it isn't my favorite flower, Rose!" The blonde wrapped his arm around the girls shoulder. The sound of the booming voice made her giggle.

"Hey Logan." The boy released the girl from his clutches and moved to the opposite side of the bar counter. Rose moved her eyes to the other boy, "Hey aren't you the person who asked me where the elevator was?" The thought of it made her stifle another laugh.

The boy scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah that was me."

Logan hit the boys back laughing, "You couldn't find the elevator?" The boy rolled his eyes, "In my defense, you didn't bother telling me how to get to our apartment."

Once the two finished arguing Logan looked at Rose, "Rose this is Leo, Leo this is Rose." The two smiled at each other.

Rose smiled at the boys before heading outside. She found a seat next to Jonah and sat down. The sun was bright this day. The pool was pretty big and there weren't many people inside. Rose looked across the pool and saw Rebecca sitting on Daniels lap, the two were making out but every now and then the blonde would glare at her.

ROSE WAS laying down but received a tap from someone, she opened her eyes to see Leo asking if he could sit at the seat next to her. She nodded at the boy and saw that Daniel was now sitting in the chair and Rebecca was in the pool clutching onto the edge.

Rose rolled her eyes and stood up, she pulled off her shirt revealing her bikini top, as well as slipping off her shorts which caught most people's attention.

"Why the fuck was that in slow motion." Jonah cursed under his breath. Rose laughed at the boy. Zachary came outside and whispered in the girls ear, "Damn best friend, you're hot as fuck." This made the girl choke back a laugh.

The girl shook her head and used the stairs to enter the water. She swam over to the curly headed boy and smiled. "You clearly got everyone's attention." He smiled.

Rose sighed. "That wasn't my plan."
