At some point Rose woke up late and everyone was either home or not.
She laid in bed.

She stared at the ceiling blankly zoning out.
No one was in the room so she had no one to talk to and her body felt numb. She herself felt numb.
Numb to everything but she couldn't pinpoint as to why she felt like this.

It could've been from her lack of eating.
Tears silently poured down her cheeks.
The door abruptly opened and Rose wiped her tears away quickly.
She looked up and saw Lip standing in the doorway.
"What?" She spat bitterly.
"What's wrong?"
"Absolutely nothing."
He had a plate in his hand.
"Want any?" He gestured towards it with a free hand.
"Lip we both know the answer."
Lip frowned and set the plate down.
Walking over to her he pulled her up into a hug.
More tears stung at the rim of her eyes.
"Rose I care about you" her tears fell "We all do."

"And I appreciate it I do, I wish I was healthy and better I really do Lip."
He ran his fingers through her tangled hair.
"I don't wanna see you die in front of me."
She cried harder.
Rose pulled herself away from his shoulder.

They stared for a moment before both smashed their lips together.
They both stripped from their clothes.

And most definitely went at it.

Rose laid in the bed wearing nothing but a shirt that was probably Ian's and a pair of underwear.
"Hey Lip?"
She spoke looking at him.
"Yeah?"
"We aren't aren't a thing, right?"
"Right."
"Thank god."
He chuckled at her and began to go downstairs.
She stood a followed after him.

We walked into the kitchen hearing a conversation.
"Hey it's Philip and Rose" the guy from the other night said.
"Hey, it's dead man walking" Lip joked "Jimmy Clifton called today looking for you."
Rose snorted and walked to the drier pulling out someone's pants.
"Mind if I wear these?"
Fiona shook her head.

Fiona and Rose stood by the drier as Lip and Steve talked.
"Hey, talk out of your ass with that much conviction... you end up needing a much bigger toothbrush. That's an anal fact."

Rose snorted as Lip made his joke and left.
"I guess I'll scoot as well" Rose left the kitchen and went to the front porch to smoke.

While everyone left to do their own thing Rose decided to walk home.
So now she sat in her kitchen with all her light off stuffing her mouth full of anything foods she could find.
That is until her front door opened.
"Rose?"
She didn't respond as she hurriedly threw all the wrappers away.
"In the kitchen!"
He mom made her way in as Rose grabbed a water bottle from the fridge.

"Hey love" she gave her a kiss on the head.
"Hi mom" Rose smiled.
"How was your day?"
"It was pretty good, you?"
"It was good too" her mom smiled back.
