"Os-" cough cough.
"No no, don't speak. Shush. Save your energy."
Rosetta points behind Oswald and he turns around, only to receive a knife into his flesh.
He lets out a shout in agony when Jack pulls the knife out of his stomach.
"If you're out of...
ROSETTA'S POV: I wake up in the same position as I slept yesterday. Josh was still on me. The only things different were the warm, fuzzy blanket covering Josh and I and Rosalio lying in the couch opposite ours.
I grab my phone and check the time. It's 7:39am. I drop Josh gently beside me, being careful not to wake him.
I check my parents room just to make sure they returned yesterday. They are in the cutest cuddling position, dad is holding mom close to his chest with his chin on her head. Their legs are entangled too.
I make sure to silence my phone and turn off the flash before taking a picture of them. I am definitely posting this on their anniversary day.
I walk out of their room quietly. Guess we'll be attending the second mass then. I went back down to wake the sleepyheads there and went back to my room to get ready for church.

Simple and cute. I walk out of my room and realise my parents are still not up yet. Must have been a hectic meeting then. My uncle does talk a lot so I don't blame them. He could talk for hours about a single thing and end up forgetting the main point of it.
"Mom. Dad, wake up. We'll be late for church." I call out.
Mama opens her eyes partially. "What time is it?" She asks.
"8:30."
She jolts up immediately but dad pulls her back down.
"If you wake up that way, you'll end up with a headache." Dad says.
"Don't worry mom. I already asked Rosalio and Josh to get ready. You're the only ones left."
She sighs and gets up slowly this time.
After church, Oswald texts me that his dad isn't home which means we could have the study session at his place. I ask Rosalio to drop me off.
I ring the doorbell and I'm met with a radiant looking lady. Damn, she's beautiful.
"Hi. I'm looking for Oswald." I inform.
She engulfs me in a hug instead. I am confused but I hug back anyway.
"Rosetta. You're even more beautiful in person. Oh and your natural hair looks good on you. I mean the purple hair looked good too."
I smile at her with the confused look still on my face.
"Oh how mannerless of me. I'm Emma, Oswald's sister. Please, come in." She steps aside and I walk in.
"I've heard so much about you. You're all Oswald ever talks about." I smile at that.
"Who do we have here?" A voice says from behind me. I know that voice all to well.I turn around and my mouth drops open.
"Liam Alonzo? Like the Liam Alonzo?" I ask shocked.
