The Thorn To My Rose

Rewind

Chapter 9

Aarons POV

"Kaleb theres something i gotta tell you"

Kaleb was pouring himself a drink. I hesitated only because it seemed like Rosie wouldn't want me to say anything to her parents. Also it's not my place to say anything.

"Actually it's not important"

I brushed off hoping he won't ask anymore questions.
He looked at me one last time to see if I was lying. Ultimately he slowly nodded his head in understanding and didn't ask anymore further.

"I uh think Dean is tired of waiting for you." Oh shit i completely forgot about Dean I quickly got up from the couch and darted towards the door where Dean was standing.

"Jesus Aaron it took you long enough, I was close to coming to get you myself."

"Yeah yeah, whatever lets go."

"Oh hey Aaron, Dean, i hope you dont treat Rosie differently after."

"That thought never crossed my mind Kaleb, No worries."

"Don't let me down Kid. Both of you guys"

Dean Looked At me curiously. I just gave him a "tell you later" Look. Dean got into the car as I looked back towards Rosie's room, still worried about her. It didn't feel right leaving her but it wasn't my place to be.

"Bro, I dont know about you but i kinda wanna get out of here already."  Dean reminded and i started the car and drove out of the neighborhood.

"So are we gonna talk about what happened earlier?" Dean asked breaking the silence.

"I dont know what you want me to say." I replied. Not really paying attention to Dean. My mind kept drifting back to Rosie. How vulnerable she looked. How her cries made my heart ache with pain.

Damn i sound like a bitch.

"AARON! WATCH OUT!"

I instantly slammed on the breaks making the car stop and swerved to the side a bit to make sure the car doesnt flip.

After the car came to a sudden halt i looked over to Dean who was clutching onto the roof handle.

"You okay?"  Dean was still trying to get ahold of himself. After about 2 minutes Dean looked at me square in the eyes.

"Move. I'm driving."

Rosie's POV

I woke up squinting from the light that beamed through my windows.

I looked towards my left arm and found it bandaged up.

I heard a knock on the door. Causing me to jump a bit.

"Rosie, Babygirl can I come in?" Dad came in with a smile on his face. I hid my arm under my sheets so it doesn't cause suspicion.

"Hey dad, what time did you get in last night?"

"Pretty late you were already asleep when i got in."

I nodded, trying to think of what to say next. I am hoping that Aaron didn't say anything to him about last night.

"So Rosie, I want to know if everything was okay. You know at home, school, and the companies.?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I just simply want to know how you were doing. I dont think you mother notices much since she is so busy and everything but I am quite surprised on how well you are handling everything."
