Sunshine / Tyler Dennen

Chapter 6

*Rose's Pov*

When school was out, I walked to the busses. I got on my bus and sat down, I looked up and saw Justin getting on my bus.

"Hey what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Eh, I haven't hung out with you in forever, so I figured I could come over and see you! My moms gunna get me in two hours." He said, sitting down next to me.

Oh god.. What if my dad comes home.. I always have this fear in the back of my head that my fathers just going to randomly come home and find me with one of my friends. He liked May, surprisingly.

He put one earbud in his ear, and one in mine.

He scrolled through his music and played Face Down, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

"Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's gon' to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found."

I looked out the window for the entire bus ride.

I just had a lot on my mind..

When we got off, We walked back to my house.

When we got inside, I grabbed a water bottle and walked upstairs.

I sat down on my huge bed, and leaned against the wall. Justin sat down next to me and put his head on my shoulder.

"Rose.. Can we talk?" He asked.

"Yeah, what about?"

"What happened that night on Skype.." He said, quietly.

My cheat tightened.

"Rose please.. I want to be able to be here for you.." He said grabbing my hand, and rubbing his thumbs over my fingers.

I stood up, and tried to avoid the conversation.

"Rose look. I know your dad hurts you." He said.

"My life isn't any of your bussiness!" I said, raising my voice.

He looked at me, and stood up too.

"Just let me help you dammit!" He yelled back.

"Why do you want to help me so bad! I've been dealing with it for most of my life! I'm fine!" I scowled.

He ripped my hat off, and pulled my sleeves up. Exposing the cuts and bruises from my dad.

"Does this look fine to you! Rose god damnit, I saw them in Gym class!" He said, tearing up.

I stood there silently..

"Rose please.." He said quietly.

"Please what! Why do you care!" I said, starting to cry too.

"Because I love you, and I always have!" He said, staring into my eyes.

He closed his eyes, and smashed his soft lips into mine.

It wasn't my first kiss, but my cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

He loves me..?

He pinned me against the back wall, and started kissing my neck.

My mind raced as to what I should do.. Do I want this?

I ran my hands through his fluffy black hair, and he slid his hands down my back, onto my butt.

I pulled away, and caught my breath.

"Justin.. I-" I said, getting cut off.

"I'm so sorry.. I've always wanted to kiss you.. since the day I met you.." He said, shyly.

I blushed.

He flopped down on my bed, and covered his face with a pillow. I sat with him and covered myself with my soft blue blanket.

"Rose I'm sorry this happened.. I wanted to come over and see you.. I just couldn't stop thinking about what happened and I felt helpless not being able to help you.. I just want to be here for you, and be someone you can talk to about anything." He said, in a caring tone.

"I know you're here for me, and I know that you care, I just couldn't tell anyone cause if the police ever came here my dad said he'd beat me to death.." I said, quietly.

After about an hour an a half of talking, justin had to go..
And once again I was upstairs in my room alone.

I was laying on my back, looking up at the curtains I had hanging over my bed, they where brightly illuminated with Christmas lights. (Chapter picture)

For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about today, and how Justin kissed me.

I mean yeah.. When I first met him I had a crush on him, but now that Tyler's in my life.. I don't know what I want..

*Tylers Pov*

I don't think I've ever been so upset..

Seeing Rose walking home with another boy..

Who am I kidding. What would a beautiful girl like her want with a guy like me.

I've spent so much time with her and I can't get her out of my mind. She's all I can think about, but I don't think she feels the same..

I spent the next hour thinking to myself and getting myself worked up.

I got out of bed, and sat in the window. I saw Rose's father pull up, and park.
He got out of his truck, and walked inside. Slamming the door behind him.

I scoffed when I saw him. I've never even said one word to him and I already hate him.
