Silently Falling

Chapter 13

*Recap*

As I rounded the driveway, for some unknown reason I could feel my excitement grow.

No way. I whispered to myself as I quickly parked Amber's car and got out.

"What's got you in such a hurry?" Amber calls after me but I couldn't contain my excitement as I ran and stood before the love of my life.

"Oh my heart, I've missed you so much." I sighed as I crouched down and hugged the hood of my shiny ice blue Lamborghini Aventador SJV.

Yes, if you hadn't guessed, blue was my favourite colour.

"Your heart?" Amber scoffed from behind.

"Yes. He is the love of my life. Isn't he so handsome?"

"This girl is badly in need of a boyfriend," Amber commented under her breath which she quickly tried to cover with a cough as I snapped my head in her direction.

Amber cleared her throat, "uh yes he is in fact very handsome."

"That's what I thought," I replied standing up straighter.

The butler handed me my keys and I grinned. Back home, he was my favourite car so I rarely drove any other of my cars. That was also the reason why I was heartbroken when mom had asked me to leave him behind and just get a new one for my stay here. Even though the idea of a new car excited me, I loved this car to death and I was glad my parents had sent him over.

"Miss, you also have some flowers delivered for you."

"Flowers?"

"Yes, miss."

"Did it arrive along with the car?"

"I'm afraid not. It had arrived way before the car. It is placed in the living room."

I thanked him as Amber snickered at me, "Someone already has flowers being sent over. Who could it be from?"

"I don't know. Let's find out." I replied as we began to walk towards the living room.

Amber lets out a whistle and I raised my eyebrows as we took in the rather large bouquet of roses placed on the shiny glass table.

When Mr. Smith had mentioned that someone had delivered flowers this wasn't what I had expected.

I was in awe as I approached the huge bouquet and gently touched the delicate petals of the beautiful lavender-coloured roses. The gesture was way too extravagant which made me curious to know who had sent them.

"Woah, they sure are pretty" Amber commented as I reached forward to pick up the white envelope placed in between the roses.

I opened it to find a simple letter with words printed in black that read,

"Roses as beautiful as my Angel,
I hope you miss me like I miss you."

I froze as the words registered in my brain.

No. I whispered as the letter slipped from my fingers.

No no no this can't be. My heart started beating rapidly as I staggered a few steps behind which caught Amber's attention.

"Oh my gosh Rosie! Are you okay?"

"I...I think my ex is the one who sent me these." I spoke out as calmly as I could given the fact that I was slightly shaking.
