Chapter 8 - Home Bound

Rose P.O.V

                I finally got out of the scary, pale hospital a day later. They put me on home bound which I was kinda glad about so don’t have to see Luke. I came home to Evelyn and Ashton making me lunch. I never realized how hungry I was. The real surprise was finding Luke in my living room.

                “What the hell are you doing here?”

                “I was worried, and I came to hear my answer.”

                “I thought I made that clear at the game, but if you didn’t notice it was no, and if you can’t understand that I will say it in Spanish no!”

                “Rose, I think you should listen to him.” Ashton said

                “Ya” Evelyn butted in.

                “Oh, so now were choosing sides?” I replied.

                “Please” he said in a whisper tone.

                “Fine” I heard myself reply before I could even think. Man I give in easily.

                “Thank you” he said “So I have been talking to your friends.” More like turning them to the dark side (sorry I like Star Wars). “About why you don’t like me; I have heard some things that I would have never thought of “

                “You’re a dick that’s why.”

                “Rose” Ashton said.

                “What, it’s true.”

                “Well that’s one way to put it. I’m a great guy once you get to know me.”  I’m sure you are. “So please can you please give me a chance.”

                “I have to think about it.” My head was saying no but my body was saying yes.

                “Okay, I will give you my number for when you make up your mind.”

                “Okay” he gave me his number but I know I am not going to use it for a while. And with that he left. Finally.

                “Erg” I yelled.

                “He isn’t that bad as you think.” Ashton said.

                “Ya” Evelyn said.

                “You are only saying that because you like Ashton and Evelyn likes Calum.” Now I’m pissed.

                “I do not” Ashton said.

                “Yes you do, I see the way you look at him when you think I’m not looking.”

                “Okay you caught me. I do like Ashton, but that’s not why I think Luke is nice.” She admitted.

                “ERG, you people. Can’t you see he is brainwashing you with his charm and good looks.”

                “OH, so you think he is cute.”

                “Of course” I clamped my hand over my mouth. Did I just admit that?

                “Oooo, you need to text him yes!!” Evelyn said.

                “NO”

                “YES”

                “NO”

                “YES”

                “Alright stop I’m not doing this right now, I’m hungry.”

                “We made your favorite.”

                “A bagel with egg and Bacon!” Evelyn cut her off. It wasn’t my favorite, favorite but that was all they could make so I just went with it.
