Rosettas POV
________________

After the raven haired girl showed me to the bathroom I sat down on the floor and silently cried. My family knows how I get when they do this. Not that they're doing it on purpose but it still hurts. Though they'd never hurt me on purpose.

I remember it took me almost a year to fully trust my dads and siblings and not be anxious even if I trusted them. Not having to worry if they'd hit me for doing something wrong.

But I love them and wouldn't change that for the world.

After a good five minutes I walk out and go back to the dining room.

"Are you ok baby you took a long time" papa asked

"Yeah sorry I got lost" i mumble while sliding back into my seat.

"Alright after we sign some papers we can go. Alright sweetheart " dad asks and I nod my head yes.

"Why don't you guys go sit and do stuff in the living room unless you want to stay here. Your guys call" I quickly get up at that while Cassandra announces she'd go to her room while River and I went into the living room with Rylan.

"So how much longer do you think they'll take" River asked sounding bored

"Probably forever since all three of them love talking"Rylan mumbles

After about an hour Cassandra walks down the stairs and looks at us before rolling her eyes.

"Man they take forever. River want to go to Senna's party. They'll be forever." Cassandra asked my sister.

"Course. I was planing to go anyway." River then turns to look at me "do you want to come Roe"

"Nah I'm good." I tell her.

A few hours pass since River and Cassandra had taken off to go to that party that they had mentioned earlier

"Hey guys it's late it's time to go. Papa will call the driver I know you're tired."

"Ok" I yawned

"Where's your sister" dad asked

"With Cassandra. They went out" I say while glancing at Rylan begging him not to say anything.

"Oh ok. Just tell her to get home soon."

With that my dad bid Phoenix goodnight while my brother and I started to head towards the car.

Later that night even after trying to get a hold of River my dads asked if she ever responded and of course I had to cover for her. I also had to go and ask Ry for his keys after I get a call from River asking if I could pick her and Cassandra up.

I rolled my eyes and put the address into the GPS and drove there very agitated.

"Hey sis. I'm really sorry. I had like three shots and didn't want to risk driving. And Cass over here is smashed. Please don't tell dad" she asked. Papa would never be as hard on her as our dad would be. Whenever we needed to do something we weren't allowed to and knew we would get caught we prayed papa would catch us and also not rat us out to dad.

"What about Cassandras car." I ask pointedly.

"Senna is one of her really good friends. She said she'll keep the car here and Cass can pick it up tomorrow."

"Whatever" I roll my eyes clearly annoyed.

I may have social anxiety but that vanishes when I'm very annoyed or angry. I may also have a slight temper.

"Let's go. I don't feel like getting in trouble with dad tonight"

River scoffed "like he'd do much to punish you anyway. He knows you're the responsible one out of the three of us. Also helps to be his favorite"

"That's a lie and you know it. Let's get outta here get Cassandra home and then I get to see my long term partner. My bed." I explained and helped her bring Cassandra to the car.

"You have a pretty voice." She said

"You're lucky I don't tell on you both" I snap back tired and ready to get home. I've had to do this for River countless times and I'm just so annoyed.

"You wouldn't do that. Also why don't you talk like this normally"

"Had a bad childhood for the most part. Don't trust people and have anxiety. But when my temper comes out I don't give a damn. Happy" I bite out

"You're pretty when you're angry." She keeps flirting. Then River smacks her on the head.

"Shut the fuck up and stop flirting with my sister." River kept glaring at Cassandra

"You love me." Cass teased back.

"Whatever" Riv rolled her eyes.

Once we got to Cassandras place we explained everything to Phoenix and he said he wouldn't tell our dads. Thank god for that.

"Hey Roe. I'm sorry." I just sigh as she sits in the passenger seat next to me.

"It's fine. You did the right thing by calling me."

"I know. Can I ask you something though" I give her a quick glance then nod while my eyes return to the road.

"Why do you get so anxious in public" my anxiety always fluctuated so it depends, but she also knew a lot about my past.

"I don't know. Sometimes I'm ok in crowds or restaurants but other times I feel as if I'm going to have a panic attack. Then it also depends on the atmosphere of where I am. If it's tense or serious and quiet I'm much more anxious but if it's calm or there really isn't anything I worry about I'm fine. I don't know." I admit and this is all because of the help both dad and papa gave me. They helped me so much with my anxiety and I know they love me.

"I know. And I'm here for you. Love you"she says offering me a smile as we drive home.
