Bad Habits (Machine Gun Kelly)

Rose's p.o.v

I was speechless. One the biggest day of our lives and my parents drop this bombshell on me.

"You're what!"

"Sweetie, please calm down"

"No. You're getting a divorce and you expect me to be calm"

"Brendon seemed calm"

"You told Brendon and not me at the same time!"

I didn't even know anyone else had entered the room before there was a cough from behind me.

"I heard my name"

"You knew mom and my dad were getting a divorce before me!"

"I thought that they had told after they told me that they already signed the papers"

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You're already divorced. Unbelievable!"

"Rose, darling"

"Don't darling me. How long?"

"How long?"

"How long have you been divorced?"

"3 months"

"3 months. And you kept it from me. What a great family you are. And you, Brendon. Out of everyone I expected to tell me. You always do. You're meant to be my brother!"

"You were bust with your album!"

"That is no excuse. There was plenty of time to tell me! I can't even look at any of you right now. If the girls ask I've gone home, they'll know where I mean. Don't bother contacting me. Any of you, except for Sarah and the girls!"

I grabbed my bag and slipped my sliders on and got in the car as the driver pulled away my phone started ringing. Colson's name flashed across my screen. I declined the call.

Colson: hey, why'd you hang up? x

Me: not in the mood, explain later

Colson: is everything, ok, baby

Me: just fucking peachy! Just to give you a heads up I'm angry and I'm not talking to my parents or Brendon

Colson: what happened, baby?

Me: I'm pulling into your driveway now, so we can talk on the phone now :)

Colson: facetime or normal?

Me: facetime, duh!

I walked into his kitchen and steadied my phone against a bowl on the island. Seconds later my phone rang and Colson's name appeared on my screen again. I happily accepted it and soon his face popped onto the screen.

C: Baby, what's wrong. You look like you're about to cry

R: it's my parents. They just told me they're getting a divorce. And, then I find out Brendon knew about it.

C: right

R: that's not even the worse part. Turns out they've been divorced for three fucking months and no one told me. Brendon used the excuse that I was busy with the album, which is somewhat true but I had days off they could've told me then.

C: why would they keep something so important from you?

R: I have no idea. I've told them not to contact me and just to give me some space. I told them to tell the girls I've gone home, which is Cleveland. So I shall be back in Cleveland later today

C: your house or mine?

R: maybe yours. I wanna be somewhat close to you even though you're not here. Cleveland feels like home for me
