Forever and always.

2* I Found You*

Rose's P.O.V

One day when I get home from school, my dad's sitting there. Waiting for me. I know what's coming next, and suddenly it happens with a blink of an eye, he gets up and slaps me. I fall back into the wall holding my cheek. It stings bad. Tears prick my eyes, but I couldn't cry, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. Then he kicks me in the stomach and I fall to the ground holding myself. I curl up into a ball and think of the boy's and how happy they must be. I think of their adorable faces when they told me they would miss me, and they'll never forget me. As he kicks me, and throws things at me, I'm in a different world, I'm numb. I really don't know what I did to deserve this, but clearly god thinks I do.

When he's done. I can't feel anything. I'm totally numb, but I know that tomorrow I will be sore, and will barely be able to move. He grabs his car keys and walks out the door, slamming it as he walks out. I flinch at the bang the door makes. I get up and slowly walk to my room. I cry. Warm tears stream down my cheeks, like a waterfall. I hold my knees to my chest and cry. What am I supposed to do? There's nothing I can do. Wait, unless I leave. I know where the boys live, they gave me their address, and I kept it. I ran to my mom and dad's room. I found her purse, and looked around in it. I took all the money in it, and then I found her credit card. Jackpot I thought. My dad wouldn't touch her stuff, ever since she died. So I took it and ran to my room, and grabbed my laptop. I booked a flight to L.A. I packed everything I needed in a suitcase, some clothes, toiletries, makeup. Before the boys left, they each gave me a hoodie of theirs to remeber them bye. I put Corbyn's on, and it still smelled like him, cause I haven't worn his yet. It's been hung up in my closet along with all the others. I put them in the suitcase and packed everything else, and headed out the door before my dad came back. I'm not going to miss this life at all.

I got on the plane, and fell asleep cuddling up with Corbyn's sweatshirt. He smelled so nice, I loved how they all smelled. I grew up with them, they were always there for me, and I can't wait to see them all again. I woke up in the middle of the flight. I still had an hour left. I plugged in my earbuds to my laptop, and started listening to their songs, and quickly fell back asleep, listening to their soft voices sing, as I drifted off to sleep again.

I woke up as the plane landed, I got off the plane, and called an uber. I told the guy the address, and after 20 minutes of driving we were there, I tipped the guy and got out the car. I grabbed my bags and walked up the steps to the door. My heart was beating so fast. I was nervous. What if they didn't want to see me? What if they didn't want to talk to me cause they thought I was ignoring them all of these months?, and with all the pressure, and my anxiety building up. It took all my power and strength, but I did it. I knocked on the door, and waited to see my best friends. 

Corbyn's P.O.V

Me and the boys were playing fortnight, waiting for the pizza. When there was a knock on the door.

" I got it! " I yelled. I got up from the couch, and put my controller on the coffee table. I walked to the door and opened it. The person was wearing a hood over their head, there were bags next to them. I was confused there was no pizza.

" Excuse me? Do you need help or something? Are you lost? " I asked, I was concerned. I looked at the hoodie this person was wearing. It looked so familiar, I've definitely seen it before, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The person looked up slightly, I still couldn't see their face.

I could tell it was a girl because her nails were painted. She lifted her hands to her hood, and pulled it off. Long gold hair flowed out of the hoodie. I looked at her face, and stood there in shock. My mouth hung open, and my eyes went wide.

"Corbyn." She whispered softly. Tears started running down her cheeks, she smiled and wiped them away. Then she looked back up at me, and I started crying too.

"Rose" I said back, she nodded yes, and I couldn't believe she was here, standing in front of me. I pulled her by her waist close to me, her hands went around my neck, holding me close.

" I missed you so much." She cried, I could feel her tears on my shirt. I started to cry too. I pulled away from the hug, and looked at her beautiful green eyes. I wiped her tears away with my thumb, and she smiled softly. I cupped my hands on her face, and smiled.

" It's you, It's really you, god I've missed you." I pulled her into another hug and squeezed her tight, last time I let go I had to leave, I was not making that mistake again.

"What's taking so long? We're hungry!!! " Zach yelled from the living room.

" It's not the pizza, it's way better than pizza!" I yelled back. I heard them pause the game and get up from the couch, and walk towards the front door.

"Nothing is better than pizza." Jack said as he was walking towards us.

"Yeah, nothing is bette-." Zach stopped, they all stopped and stared at Rose. Tears started streaming down all of their faces.

"Unless it's Rose" They all said in unison. They all ran to her and hugged her, one at a time, then we did a huge group hug. She started crying again. Hot tears streamed down my face along with her, I quickly wiped them away, still not believing that she's here. She looked at all of us and cried some more, sputtering out words as she sobbed.

" I missed you guys so much, I'm so sorry I stopped calling but my phone broke and I couldn't get another one, and I had to get out of Texas, and see you guys. I thought you would be mad at me, cause I stopped talking to you guys." She started crying again.

" We are not mad, don't ever think that Rose." Jonah said, as he hugged her. She lifted up her head and looked at all of us. She nodded.

" It's hot in here." She said, as she lifted up the sleeves of the hoodie she was wearing. I looked at her arms. What the heck? I looked closer, bruises, bright purple bruises, and cuts along her forearms. Also new and old, somewhere scabbed and some were so faded that you could barley see them. 

What happened while we were gone?
