Fires Collided

I was standing outside the surgery room waiting for my mom to give birth.I could hear her scream and I was going out of my mind.I was pacing around in the verge of tears.Ralph would stop me every once in a while but even then I would continue."Then the doctor came."They're both perfectly fine but the mother has to stay in the intensitive care unit for a couple days."I sighed in relief.I went to see my brother first."Hey Roman."I held a baby for the first time in almost a decade.Ralph was shcoekd when he saw me with Roman."You're holding him?"With tears falling from my eyes out of joy I looked at Ralph and nodded."I'm holding him."

Then the nurse came."We're taking the baby to his mother."I sighed."He's my brother can I go there with him?"She nodded and us three left Ralph there and went to my mother's room."Hey mom."I gave Roman to her."Roman.I named him Roman.Is that ok?"She giggled."Come here."Then she kissed my forehead."I love it."She held my hand and held Roman with her other arm."Both of my kids in the same room.I bet your dad and brother are watching us from above."All of us were in tears and chuckled."I forgive you mom."She turned to me and her eyes widened."I forgive you mom."We hugged and it felt great."I'm so sorry Rosalind.You are my baby.You're my first kid.My eldest kid and I treated you badly.I am so sorry."I started sobbing as I broke the hug."It's ok mom."

As she breast feeded him I waited there.But after a while I left to find the others."His name is Roman Kai Monroe.And he is perfectly healthy."I showed no interest in wiping my tears because they were tears of joy.Grandpa and grandma were so happy.Ralph and I never left each other's side.Around dinner time I wanted to take mom dinner.When I got there I saw Phoenix cutting my mom's throat with the same knife he killed my dad with.Mom turned to ashes and I screamed on top of my lungs.Phoenix heard me and vanished."NO!"I dropped the tray of food on the floor and lost myself between my pain and screamings.

I don't remember much other then waking up in my bed with Ralph and my pets all around me.My head was banging like crazy.I didn't know what to do so I just woke Ralph."Ralph?"He woke up immediately."Rose?"I sighed."What happened?I had this crazy nightmare.Your dad was killing my mom and I couldn't do anything because he vanished and the rest is a blur."He took a deep breath."That wasn't a nightmare,love.That happened.Roman is in the room next to this."I got out of the bed and ran into Roman's room.Margie was there checking his diaper."Mistress Rosalind?"I nodded."Margie if you're done please leave and don't let anyone in here."She nodded and left.I picked Roman up and sat at the armchair next to his cradle.I started crying.

Turns outt all of that happened a day ago.Until the funeral I stayed with Roman.At the funeral I held Roman and now it was time for me to go back to school.I needed to get out of those clothes.I burned them as soon as I was rid of them.I changed into what I would usually wear as I went to school.

As I walked into the dormitory people gave me theri condolances.Just when I was about to reach girls dormitory Marigold came."I'm coming from a funeral.I'm pissed off.I haven't had a good night sleep for over a week.And my heels are starting to hurt.Talk at your own risk."Since she started talking I tuned it out.I knew she insulted me at every way possible.I had it.I took off my coat and gave it to Ralph.I rolled up my sleeves.I tied my hair."What are you doing?"I sighed."Hit me."She chuckled."Gladly."When she tried to slap me I held her hand before it hit me.I turned around.Flipped her onto the floor over me then placed my hands over my waist."I told you.Talk at your own risk."I grabbed my coat and went inside the girls dormitory as she groaned on the floor.

School year finally ended and I gave my full focus onto Roman,my pets and Ralph.At the end of the summer I got a letter from Dexter labeled URGENT.I burned the letter as he told me to and I changed for the party I appearently had to be in."I'm leaving Ralph.Are you ready?"He sighed."I'm ready.Let's go.I really wanna know why Dexter is calling us.Well you."We landed in Dexter's house looking good.

"Let's go."Dexter dragged me out to his car.Ralph of course followed."Ok so you know that Karen was avoiding you right?""I mean I suspected since we didn't talk like we used to.Wait!Where is this all coming from?"He took a deep breath."Newt is back."My skin went pale."Rose?"I let out the breath ı didn't know I was holding."N-newt as in-"He nodded stopping me from continuing my sentence.I pulled myself together."Drive.Drive to this party.I need to give him a piece of my mind."We pulled up to Karen's house.

"Hey Newt."

He couldn't recognize me at first.Last he saw me was back when we were 12 and now I'm almost nineteen."Hey Karen."I did the same hand waving to her as she went over to Newt and kissed him."Don't you guys remember me?"They shook their head."I chuckled."Rose?!"Mason and Jason showed up and hugged me."Hey boys!"I turned to Newt and Karen's shocked face."So you do remember me."

"THE FREAK IS BACK!"I laughed."Just because I could steal your girlfriend doesn't mean I'm a freak Newt."Ralph leaned to my ear."Who is he again?"I chuckled."My bad.Ralph meet my first ex boyfriend Newt."I could feel him getting angrier by second."Honestly all I want to know is when you'll come out.Really!When will you get out of your closet Newt.It's obvious you don't enjoy making out with Karen but then again it could be because of her."
