A Rose In The Wild

33- I want to be with you (Ash's POV)

Three days. It's been three fucking days since Rose freaked and ran away from me.

Nate must have told her who I am and why wouldn't she run away, any Sane person would run for the hills the moment they find out I am going to become a gangster. Ooo everyone's childhood dream. NOT.

I don't know why but I was way more irritated than usual, I walked to calculus and found Andrew waiting by the door for me.

I ignored him and went to my seat.

"Do you still have your panties in a twist?" Andrew asked sitting beside me.

"Shut up."

"Oh come on don't act like a little girl." he started to sit but I pushed the chair away and he fell on his ass.

"Oww what did you do that for?" he said as he got up and dragged the fallen chair back.

"Because you are an idiot."

"look.." he started

"No, you look. You know something, don't you? You have been avoiding and changing the topic whenever I bring up Rose." I said cutting him off.

"Ash..."

"It's about Nate, isn't it. That bastard is moving in on her isn't he," I said anger hitting me.

"Will you stop and be reasonable for a second?" he said.

"And you don't have to worry about Nate and Rose trust me on that one," he said rolling his eyes.

"Ash I can't tell you much it's not my place to do so," he sighed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" before he could answer the teacher came in and the class quieted down.

The rest of the classes were a blur. Rose was not in school again. And for some reason, I was getting anxious.

I spent the lunch in my car listening to music for the third day in a row. I did not want to end up breaking the nose of American Don's son.

It was the last period and I did not want to go back home.

I left my backpack and phone in my car and went behind the elementary school building where Rose had broken her and Sofia's phone.

That girl sure had changed, something was up and I had no idea what and it was driving me crazy.

I stepped out on the marble right behind the elementary building and noticed her instantly.

She was sitting on the ground her head hung, her beautiful brown hairs making a curtain to cover her face and her hands under her thighs.

I walked up to her slowly and noticed a bottle on her side.

Woah Vodka.

"Rosa," I said softly putting my hand on her shoulder.

Then realized that she was probably scared of me and removed it.

Her head snapped up and she looked me directly in the eyes.

Her eyes bore the clear sign that she had not shared her Vodka with anyone.

"Ash!" she said clearly.

I didn't remember when I had gotten so used to her, her voice and her presence. It was like a drug that was taken away from me for three days straight. It was a weird kind of relief

"What are you doing here Rose?" I asked softly waiting for her to run away.

"Ash I...I l-like you. I like you a lot. Not k-knowing... Ignoring you-it hurt. It hurt like h-hell" she stammered.
"If what Andrew said is true...." she left the sentence hanging.
"Ash I don't care. I-I I want to be w-with you." My heart went up in flutters.
