"Why Are You Here?"

"I Thought I'd Watch A Movie, It's Quite Peaceful."

No tears remained on Rosalie's face as she sat on her bed. There were so many things going through her head.

What if she and Jason had ran away? She could have took money from her parents without them noticing, they would be glad to be rid of her.

Then she started thinking it was her fault.

If she never broke up with Jason they would have been happy. They would have gone on adventures, or better yet, she'd be dead too.

She could have saved him. If she had done something, anything differently, perhaps he'd be alive.

She looked at her clock and sighed. It was only 4am, no one would be awake yet. She didn't want to be by herself, but there was no where for her to go, unless she went to Archie's house.

After hesitatingly holding her finger above the call button for a few seconds she pressed it.

"Hello?" Archie's voice was full of sleep as he answered the phone.

"Arch, can I come over?"

"Ugh, yeah, of course."

"I'll be over in ten." She hung the phone up and quickly got dressed.

The journey to Archie's wasn't long, especially since she ran the whole way, with her school bag.

When she arrived she climbed up the tree outside his window, something she often done when they were dating.

Archie opened the window and Rosalie wrapped her arms around him. "It's okay" he soothed her while rubbing her back.

"He's gone Arch, he's really gone" she sobbed against him. "It's okay."

The guilt building up inside of him was reaching overload. He was watching a girl he loved, cry over the loss of her ex boyfriend.

They sat down on Archie's bed. Rosalie fell asleep against his shoulder. He knew she wouldn't have slept, so he didn't wake her.

Once it reached 6:30 am, Archie knew he had to wake his sleeping friend.

"Rose" he whispered causing her to hum out. "We have school" he told her. "Five more minutes" she mumbled as she cuddled into him. "Rose" he spoke sternly causing her to groan.

She sat up and looked around the room. A smile appeared on her face when she noticed he still had a picture of the two of them, it was from their first date.

"I assume I have to leave the old way?" She couldn't stop the smirk on her face as he nodded his head.

She pressed a kiss against his head before going to the window.

Rosalie made her way to Pop's. She knew he'd want to see her considering he knew of her history with Jason.

When she arrived she was greeted with a hug. "My poor Rue" he mumbled. He pulled away and looked at her up and down, checking for any injuries.

"Did you sleep? Are your parents speaking to you? Are you eating-" Rosalie's laugh made Pop stop speaking. "I'm coping. I saw Archie earlier and fell asleep for a couple of hours. It was nice to sleep in the comfort of someone I trust" she said.

Pop smiled. "I'm glad you're coping. I was worried about you little Rue" he told her. A small smile was on her face as she replied. "I'll take it day by day."
