They Told Me There Would Be Cake

Orange Roses

"Seth, which flowers do you like better? These red tulips or these orange roses?" Lizzy held up two pots of flowers.
Orange roses... I remember my orange roses.
~Flashback~

"And a tall orange rose just for you my darling. I cut off the thorns and leaves because I know how easily you can get stabbed by those ugly prickles." The loopy purple hand writing on the note read, as Seth smiled, yearning to find out who wrote it. Whoever it was knew her favorite color, favorite flowers, and admired her just for who she really was.

"What's that?" Anna tapped Seth's shoulder.
Seth turned around stuttering, "Just... Um, another reminder to get... Use, my uh. Get flowers for,"
"Sebrina, your hiding something." Anna snickered.
"Why am I lying to Anna? She did nothing wrong. She's your best friend... But what if, no she wouldn't do that again. And it would be ok if I just told her... No she would tell Lizzy. Hum... I'm just going, oh that sounds good." Seth thought inside her mind.

"Anna, I'm sorry. It's just hard for me to get over this and..." Seth pretended to be upset. "It was a reminder to get roses for my aunt, who is sick at home at the moment."

"No Seth, I'm sorry. Sometimes I can be so nosy. I hope she gets better soon." Anna fiddled with her bracelets.
~Flashback~

"Seth? Are you ok?" Lizzy's hand rubbing against my shoulder snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Oh! Um yeah, sorry Liz. What were you asking? Orange roses or Red tulips?"
"Seth, It's about, him... Isn't it."
I looked up at Lizzy's green eyes as she didn't know what to call "him"."
"Oh Seth... It's going to be alright. I'm sorry to remind you. I know orange roses were your favorite."
A tear slipped down my cheek and made a spot on my shirt. I didn't bother wiping it off, I guess I was just... I don't know. Used to it you could say?
Liz and I stood there bundled up in a tight hug until the bell jingled on the door.
"Nolan! Welcome back! How may I help you?"
Nolan...
