Bring out the best in me

Chapter 11

An hour and 15 minutes later, Rosie showed up at Jacob and Mark's house. Mom answered the door before Rosie even got the chance to knock. I walked over to the door and then look over my Mom's shoulder to see Rosie was dressed for the perfect summer day, she had on a cute pink top with white shorts with her round black sunglasses that she loves, sitting on the top of her head.

"OK, so you have fun girls." What?

I had no idea what Mom was talking about, but before I got the chance to ask what was going on or even say goodbye to anyone, Rosie took my hand and then began walking to Ethan's car. Rosie walked faster than I would of like her to, while Mom followed behind us.

"Thank you, Mrs. Parker." she sang while opening Ethan's back door for me. "Please Rosie, call me Carla".

"Hey Allie," Ethan says as I got in. Rosie closes the door then she waved bye to my Mom. "Hey Ethan, so what is Rosie up to?" Ethan laughs looking back out the front window

"Aw, you know Rosie, Allie."

I couldn't help my smile because I did know Rosie, even though I've known her for a short amount of time, I know once Rosie May set her mind to something there was no stopping her.

Once Rosie was in the front sitting beside Ethan, he started the car and then we were off. I waved to my Mom seeing now Jacob was at the door with her, Lucky Dad was in the bathroom when Rosie came so she didn't see him. I have to admit, I'm kind of starting to feel guilty for not telling Rosie about my Dad by now when she has been such a good friend to me.

"Now, will you tell me what you're up to?"

Rosie turned around in her seat to face me, with a big smile on her face. "So, I asked your Mom if could you sleep over in mine and do some studying." Rosie air quoted.

"I take it that's not what we're doing"

Rosie hid her face behind her seat laughing.

"Well, you are staying at my house tonight but not that what we're doing,"

"How did you even know where my brother lived?" I ask.

"Well, I saw you were online on Snapchat, so I told Ethan to Follow the map on it to where you were"

"Oh my god, Rosie," I laughed. Ethan joined along with me as he shook his head because of how crazy his girlfriend was.

"I know, I'm sorry, but I knew if I'd told you, you would just say no you're not going again. I just really want you to go, Allie. I think this will be good for you and to meet new people."

I couldn't help but smile. "I don't know about this; I don't even have my wheelchair" I'd sign. Suddenly, the thought of going to a party with the people who were laughing at me earlier this week made me feel uneasy.

"I know, you'll be fine. All we will be doing is just chilling out on the Beach, listening to some music, and having a good time. I promise you Allie you will have fun." Rosie didn't give me a chance to say anything, she turned back around to face the window.

Well, I guess I'm going to my first High School party.

It didn't take us that long to get to Rosie's house, once we got there Ethan helped me out of the car while Rosie was opening her door. I told Ethan it was ok he didn't have to, but he said it wasn't a problem. Rosie and Ethan headed inside the house, while I was still looking up at how beautiful Rosie's house was. Her garden was filled with every flower along her drive. The house was white and grey, but oddly it was a weird-looking shape like the top half was bigger than the bottom, that is what made it more beautiful. It was like something you would see in a style magazine.
