As I stormed out of the building I went to a bar.
I sat a tool and ordered for taqeulla for myslef and drank my miseries.
A guy came and sat on the stool next to me.
"Hey beautiful. Why are you alone?", he said.
I looked at him, green eyes brown curly hair.
No where near Chris!A part of my brain and heart spoke
I need to stop comparing people with him. He's my past . He's the one who left me alone without any explanation." Umm.. hey.. you alright? You don't look so well.", the guy asked bringing me out of my deep thoughts.
I nodded and went back to drinking.
"Lets get you home princess. You are wasted. I'm Caleb by the way.", he siad.
I ignored him.
He poked my shoulder.
"I don't know you.", came my reply.
"I'll take you home. Come on. I won't do anything. Trust me princess.", he said and so I stood up and he took me to his car. I gave him my address and he drove me in.
He asked for a glass of water and since he brought me home I asked him to come in.As I entered the kitchen I felt him wrap his arms around my waist. I tried to push him but he was fast and dropped me on the floor and started to unbutton me. I pushed him away but he placed my hands above my head and unzipped his pants and slid a condom.
I shouted and he laughed, "No one can hear you bitch."
I shouted again but bofore he could do anything he was pushed off me and a figure was punching him.[Chris's POV]
I saw Rose storm off. I quickly pushed whoever that girl was off from me and ran towards Spencer.
"Man, where's Rose?", I asked him.
"Don't you dare do near her. You've hurt her enough.", he shouted.
"Look, it's not safe alright. She just went out and from what I know she gonna get drunk and hit off with a random stranger. Give me the key to her house. I am not playing anyways.", with that said he handed me the keys.
I quickly went to my car and started driving towards her aunts house.
I got stuck in the New York traffic. Dammit!
I blowed my honk wildly and it took a good fifteen minutes to reach and when I did I heard muffled screams. I panicked realising that the house was empty and Rose must be alone.
I quickly for out and locked my car and went towards her house.
The door was slightly ajar and I peeked in to see that no one was in the hallway.
I went in and followed the sound of the screams. They appeared to be femine. I got scared and went in the kitchen.
The view shocked me. A guy was on top of her.
Memoreis from our shopmore came rushing to mind.
I marched towards the boy and pulled him off her. I started punching him.
"Don't.you. dare.come. near. her. once. again. GOT. IT.??", I shouted punching him but stopped as I realised that how kuch Rose hated fights and action. I pushed him out off the house.
I took Rose and led her to the bathroom and put her under the shower.
"Strip. I'll be back with your clothes and towel.", I said and went to her room upstairs.
I looked through her wardrobe and picked clothes for her and a change of undergarments.
As I went near her I saw her sitting under the shower head, drenching wet and crying.
She was sobbing. Ugh.. I hated to see her like this.
You left her like this once you idot, my brain shouted at me.
Oh shut up. Stop talking to yourslef asn help her.
I turned the shower off made her stand up.
She looked up at me and said, "Why? Why does this always happen to me?""You are brave Rose. Nothing will happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you. Just like shop more year, I will never ever let anything happen to you. I'll always be there for you.", I said as she stripped herself.
As a refelx I turned around not that I haven't seen her before but I just didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
" But even you left me. Middle of the night. I kept blaming myslef that maybe I'm not good enough. Maybe I'm not beautiful or I'm not a girlfriend material. I blamed myslef. I tried to call you but you didn't pick up. You left me alone Chris. You broke me. ", she said.
She was hurt. I hurt her." I did it because of you Rose. I didn't want to force you in a relationship. Enough of the past. Have you dried yourself? Changed? Shall I turn? ", I asked changing the subject.
She chuckled. I don't know whether it had humour or not.
"You've seen me before Chris. Am I that horrible that you can't see me like this?", I heard her say.
God! She got me all wrong."It's not like that. I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable Rose. I know what you are feeling right now. I didn't want to hurt you. I've done enough damage and I wanna fix things.", I said.
"Turn around. And I was never forced in this relationship.", I heard her. Slowly yet cautiously I turned around.
I pulled her in for a bone crashing hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her head against my chest.
I patted her back for a while and took her out of the bath."You go to your room. Rest. I'll bring something for you and now on don't you dare get drunk without me. God knows what would happen. The way you stormed off, I was sacred. Call Spencer or just text him alright.?", I said. Without waiting for an response I turned her towards the stairs and pushed her up.
I went to kitchen and even though I couldn't see her I knew that there would be a sheepish, confused smile on her face.
I made her a cup of my signature coffee. I poured it in two cups and took a tray and transferred the cups in it along with mini and original oreos.
I went up to see her crawled in her bed and covered in the duvet and sound asleep.
"Stop pretending Rose. I know you very well. You aren't asleep."
She peeked form under the mattress.
God she's so cute.
I set the tray down on the side table and went under the duvet.
I wrapped my hands around her waist and pressed her against my chest and together we dozed off.
I guess we need a trip down the memory lane soon.
We both slept with wide smiles after ages.⛛
So that was the chapter guys.
I tried my best to justify Rose's behaviour and show how Chris is perfect and yet he made mistakes in the past.
There relationship was something everyone admired.
