14

Rose POV

Everything hurt. My heart felt like it was ripped from my chest and stomped on...repeatedly. I couldn't even look at Christine without holding back tears or having an urge to punch her. Believe me; I tried covering up the hurt that kept piercing at my heart. It was my own stupidity that got me into this mess.

I made sure to stay away from shadows and stayed with others. I had to avoid him. Seeing him would only hurt me more and I honestly don't think I could handle it.

He chose her.

I was the one who looked upon his scarred face with love while she had stared at him in disgust and fear. I understood the harsh ways of the world while she had yet to see it for herself. This is exactly why I don't let my guard down and trust someone. It only ends up with me getting hurt.

Well now that they were together...why weren't we back home?

"Rose?" Abby's soft voice shook me back to reality. Placing a cocky grin to replace the hurt that was evident just a second ago, I turned to face my little sister.

I bit my lip from saying a sarcastic comment when I noticed her serious expression. Great...another buzz kill to my amazing comebacks. "What's up?" I quirked an eyebrow.

Abby blushed a dark red and mumbled, "IthinkIaminlovewithRaoul."

"What?" Oh, this got to be good.

She sighed and yelled, "I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH RAOUL!"

"Geez, woman!" I whined, holding my stinging ears. "Tell me something I don't know...but please have mercy on my eardrums."

Abby stared at me in confusion. "You knew?" I gave her my best 'duh' look. It was kind of obvious, you know, with her drooling over him whenever we watched the movie, oh, and the way that she keeps following him around like a lovesick puppy. Abigail gave me an apologetic look, "Sorry."

"Rose!" Suddenly, a blue-eyed blonde, tackled me. Meg was bouncing excitedly. "He's here! I told William that you were most likely talking to Abby or Christine backstage during practice...so he is, at this very moment, on his way!"

Anger and hurt filled me when Meg mentioned Christine, but I quickly hid it. I was going to show Erik that this didn't affect me, so maybe flirting with William won't hurt in proving that to him. I smirked. "Great, I can't wait to see him again."

Abby POV

I watched as my sister's face darkened at the mention of Christine, but as soon as I saw it, the look was gone, only to be replaced with determination.

"Great, I can't wait to see him again," Rose said slyly. Knowing my sister, she was obviously up to no good. I knew that look from anywhere. Whoever ticked her off had hell to pay.

Meg, being Meg, didn't notice and kept jabbering on in excitement. "Oh, you guys would be the perfect couple!" Watching my sister's face turn a little in disgust, I decided to join in.

"Oh, yes, Rose!" I grinned as she glared at me. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G! Rose and William sitting in a tree! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" I sung between laughter while Rose looked like she wanted to kill me.

Okay, yeah, it was immature. But give me a break, annoying your older sister is so much fun. Meg just looked confused. I didn't blame her. The song was from a different world.

"Am I interrupting something?" An amused voice spoke behind us. Turning around, I eyed the man that had danced with my sister. He was handsome, that's for sure, but not as much to even compare to Raoul.
