Chapter 19: Can't buy Happiness

"Rose, you promised you'd sleep." Matt whinnied as I sat at my desk. "No, I said I'd rest. I never said I would sleep. I have some homework to do, that the teachers emailed me."

Matt moved to my chair and scooped me up throwing me over his shoulder. "No, you need to go to bed." "Matthew, put me down." I yelled squirming in his arms. "Ok, if you say so." He said throwing me on to my bed. "Know sleep." "Matt, I can't I have things to do." "Yes, you need to sleep. Rose just lay down and relaxes. Just for two hours. Please." Matt begged giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, but only because you’re so adorable." I said kissing his cheek. "Will you lay down with me?" "Sure, princess." He said laying down with me. I put my head on his chess. "Matt, you are the best boyfriend." "You know you are my first real girlfriend." "What about all those other girls?" "Never dated, just flings." "I love you." I whispered as my heavy eyes won and I fell asleep.

"Matt, must have stayed." I heard Ross say from down stairs waking me up. "Matt!" Tyler yelled. "I'm up stairs." Matt yelled back. "Mmmmmmmhhhhh." I moaned rolling over.

"Why are you in here?" Ross asked barging into the room. "I was making sure, Rose fell asleep and I fell asleep." He said stretching. "Guys I was sleeping." I whinnied. "Well, know your awake. Coach was pissed that neither of you were at school today." Ross said sitting in my desk chair. "No he wasn't, he was mad we were and not taking care of Rose." Tyler said walking into the room.

"Well, I like the other story better." Ross muttered under his breath.

Tyler rolled his eyes, "So what did you guys do today?" "We talked and then we both fell asleep." Matt said sitting up in bed. "Boring!" Ross sang and left the room. "He is so weird." I muttered. "Yeah, we know. So how are you feeling?" Tyler asked looking at me with concern. "I'm fine. My arm doesn't hurt to bad and the stroke had no side effects. So I'm aloud to get back practice."

"He didn't mean physically." Matt said while putting his arm around me. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" "Rose, your father tried to kill you again." Tyler said dumbfounded. "Trust me I'm fine." I said snuggling into Matt’s chess. "Well, if you're not ok, ever, I'm here." Matt said kissing the top of my head. "You are so great." I whispered to him. "Ewe, ok I'm leavening!" Tyler yelled storming out of the room. I fell back asleep, and was awaken by Matt shifting from underneath me. "Matt, are you up?" I asked opening my eyes. "Yeah, I was just getting up to cancel dinner, so you could sleep." "Oh, no you are not getting out that easy." I said bouncing off the bed. "But you need to sleep." "You promised. What times dinner?" "Six" Matt muttered while playing with his hands.

"Where are we going?" I asked digging throw my closet. "A fancy Italian restraint. If you have one, wear a dress." "Ok, I'm going to go talk to Juliet. Go hang with Ty; I know you've been missing your Tyler time." I teased giving him a small kissed. "It's not quiet Ty time I've been missing." Matt murmured as we left my room.

Ignoring him, I skipped to Julia and Juliet's room. "Juliet do you have a dress I can barrow?" I asked walking into the room. "Oh, why would you want a dress?" Stacy hissed from Julia's bed. "Are you ever at your own house or do you just come here to irritate me?" I said and turned to go to Juliet's half of the room. "I'm in my closet." She yelled. Walking to her walk in closet, I stopped when I saw a huge bruise across her back, only noticeable because of the tank top she was wearing. "What happen?" I yelled running to her. "Oh, I was dropped at cheerleading." She said shrugging and walking father into the closet. Shutting the doors I whispered, "Who spots you?" "Stacy, Kelsey, and Julia." "Oh, you don't think it was on purpose, do you?" "I don't think so." She said so I dropped it.

"Do you have a dress, I can use?" "Of course, are you going out with the family too?" "Wait, you will be there?" "Yeah, Nate asked me." "Good, I am so scared." I said truthfully. "Why?" "I've known Matt and Nate for years and I still haven't met them." "They will love you, come on let's make you even more beautiful." She said pulling out a dress.
