When Thorn Met Rose

Chapter 28

Rose's Point Of View.

It was Wednesday, which meant two things. First was that I had to go to school. My parents were too happy about the way things were going with me.Then again, neither was I. Well, the things that I wasn't happy about were me not turning up to school and because of that it seemed like my grades were going to suffer. The second thing was that there were only two more days left until Christmas holidays would start. That meant Theodore was going to be able to go home. 
I wondered if he was going to be comfortable going back to this home. I wondered where his father was. I hopd that the police had caught him. I didn't want someone like that roaming the streets.

I woke up as usual, it was harder to wake up at six than any other day but I needed something to be the way it was.

After my jog and shower I got dressed. Trying to put on anything that wouldn't make me stand out. I put on black skinny jeans, a dark hoodie and tied my hair up. Maybe I would somehow blend in and nobody would notice me. Except my red hair but I could always wear a hat.

I went downstairs and got some weird looks from my mum and Ella, who were in the kitchen eating breakfast.

''Well, that's different.'' Mum said.

''There is nothing wrong with a little black.'' I pointed out.

''Yes, little'' Ella raised her eyebrow.

''I just want this day to be over and done with'' I said and sat down beside Ella.

''Have a good day girls'' Mum said as she got up once she was done with her breakfast. 

'Thanks'' I said and watched as mum walked out of the kitchen. 

''I haven't seen you since the incident'' Ella said.

I turned to her and slightly frowned. 

'' I know.'' I said and unable to stop myself, I hugged her. She hugged be back, giving me a hard squeeze and a light pat on the back.

''Are you sure you are ok with going to school today?'' She asked pulling back.

Of course I wasn't, I didn't want to go back. I wanted people to just forget about the stupid poster and I wanted things to go back to the way they were. I didn't want to be the girl who gets the negative attention. 

''I'm surprised you aren't grumpy this morning'' I laughed.

''I'm worried about you.'' Ella replied and stood up.

''I'm fine, let's go.'' I told her and after putting on our coats we left my house.

This morning I did drive to school, it was far too cold for walking, even for me. I had already had a jog this morning which completely made me feel like I was being frozen. 

''How's Theo?'' Ella asked when we were rounding the corner to the schools parking lot.

''He's doing a lot better.'' I said, not really feeling too happy about parking my car in the schools parking lot. I felt too nervous about today. I didn't feel like thinking about Theodore because I would become more nervous and happy and both of those combined together created a very weird feeling inside my stomach. I felt like I could throw up any minute.

''You're so pale.'' Ella said as I turned off the car.

''Thanks, I tried the vampire look today.'' I said looking out the window, seeing Gary walking up the steps to the school.

''Let's go.'' I said.

Before I had the chance to get ouf othe car Ella put her hand on mine.

''Rose, it's going to be ok, I'll be here.'' She smiled at me.

''I know, thank you.'' I smiled back. 

''Let the day begin.'' I said and Ella and I got out of the car.

Sorry just a short chapter, not really feeling my writing atm, feel so dead lol I'm sorry, however I will finish it by the end of December, I just don't feel too motivated and I don't want to try push some words out of me just to make it look longer, yet when reading it sounds really dumb. Anyway, hope you are baring with me and enjoying the story.
