After my nice, maybe 15 minute, shower I head out to Rose's room. She normally has clothes for me incase I needed to stay over for a number of reasons. I check the time and it's only 9:30 p.m. so I went into the living room and turned on the TV. Soon after my phone begins to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey can you come get me?" OH GOD what happened this time.

"Jason what did you do? I can't always come get you."

"I don't have there money yet so they are trying to find me again but I need your help Brandon. Please. Do you want me to go to jail or prison?"

"Yes, Because you should bro. Your on your own this time I'm not helping you again. I know mom did but thats why shes dead. I'm not leaving Rose like that."

"Still haven't told her huh? Well fine but I'm calling you out if I get arrested. If I go down, your going down with me."

"Jason, just go I have to take care of Lisa soon so bye." I hang up the phone and call rose.

"Hey whats up? Lisa still not sleeping?"

"No, she's asleep but, you think we can go out to eat something when you get home? Just me and you. Not like a date, I just need someone to talk to and your the best one."

"Yeah, i don't mind that at all but who's going to take care of Lsa?"

"I'll get Megan to watch her."

"Okay, I get off in about 10, then I'll be home in about 5, then i'll get ready and we can go. Okay?"

"Alright sounds good."

ROSE'S POV

"Alright sounds good."

"Bye Brandon see you in a bit."

"Bye Roza."

I'm going to be honest I like when he calls me roza. I find it sweet and I like knowing that I'm the only "Roza" in his life. I soon, not soon enough, get off work and start heading home. As soon as I pull into my driveway I see a big figure so I text brandon.

Me: Brandon are you outside?

B: No why?

Me: there's a man outside and I'm afraid to get out the truck. 

B: I'll see about it but can you send me a picture of what he looks like?

Me: Yeah hold on

B: Okay your in the truck right?

Me: Yeah why?

B: Okay, under the passengers side seat there is a pistol. Grab it incase he comes up to you. I'm going to sneak around back behind the neighbors house and come to you.

Me: What about Lisa? 

B: Megan is here, I'll inform her of the situation.

Me: as long as you and Lisa are okay in the end then I'll be fine

B: Lisa will be fine even if I'm not

Me: Okay hurry please.
B: I will.

Soon I see the man move in my direction. I grab the gun, keeping it firm in my hand. He moves towards me but stops mid step. His attention on something past me. At first I thought he was looking at Brandon but then I looked in the same direction as him and saw he was looking at my dads car. At least I think he's looking at the car.

Me: BRANDON I THINK MY DAD'S BACK

B: WHAT!!!

Me: The man outside may be him

The man starts walking in my direction again.

B: I'm almost around to the truck wait for me to get there.

Me: Okay

I wait maybe 5 more minutes till brandon gets into the truck

"Are you sure it's your dad?"

"No but, I feel it is. It's his car. Most definitely.

"How are you sure?"

"I grew up with and in that car. Nobody else in this town is or was able to afford a classic black camaro."

"Okay, what do you want to do? Go up to him? If you do I'm going with you, I'm not letting someone I love go out and up to an unknown man alone. Because what if it's not him? What if it's a stranger, one from a gang sent to come kill you, or just some street junky trying to find a vulnerable girl to rape? I'm not letting that happen to you and Lisa. Especially not you." He pauses to catch his breath. "I love you Roza. i don't want to lose you. Especially not before you know this." i just noticed during his whole rant that he moved closer, a lot closer, to me. Next thing I can comprehend is that his lips are on mine. I was so frozen in surprisement to even notice the kiss. As soon as I was able to comprehend the things he said and what was going on I kissed him back. I kissed him like my life depended on it. He soon pulled away.

"Roza, I love you. I don't know if you love me back but, I'm going to take a chance. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes!" I blurt out a maybe a little to fast and maybe a little to loud. I watch as his sad frowning lips, the ones that kissed me amazingly, turn up into a small smile. All of a sudden he frowns again, and I'm taken out of my seat. I can't tell what's going on until after I've been pulled behind Brandon. I see why Brandon put me behind him, the man that was in our driveway is now at the drivers side door of my 1952 ford pickup.

"Brandon that's not my dad."

"I know, don't worry I have the gun in my hand."

Brandon scoots over closer to the door and roll down the window a crack, i scoot closer to him where the man can barely see me.

"Who are you? And why are you here?"

"It's Jason dude." the man says. I don't know anyone named Jason but Brandon seems to know him.

"Jason what are you doing here? You're going to put Rose and Lisa in danger. Go home and I'll call you, or I'll come to you."

"Bro, I'm already here and there not in any danger the gang doesn't have a tracker in my camaro it's only in my Skyline Hokusuka GTR."

"I don't care they can still find us and use Lisa and Rose to get the money YOU owe them. Once again I'm not giving you the money to bail yourself this time. You still haven't paid me back because you can't get a stable job outside of the gang." at this point Brandon is practically yelling. I flinch as he talks because of the fact that this little idiot may be putting Lisa and I in danger.

"Brandon?" I say in a quiet voice

"WHAT?!" he turned his attention on me. I see the anger in is eyes gradually turn into fear, I'm guessing fear that he scared me. He did a little.

"Who is he?" I ask in an even smaller voice than before. He looks at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He sighs a little. Is he hiding something from me?

"Roza I will talk to you about this later right now I need to get him out of here so

can keep you safe." he pecks my lips and turns back to Jason.

"You finally told her eh?" comments Jason loud enough to where I could hear.
