All-Human
Rose moves in with her cousin Christian because her parents have died in an car accident a few weeks earlier, new school, new friends, new boyfriends, what? Who will she choose in the end?
Chapter 1 – Does the nightmare ever end?
"Rose, Rose wake up, ROSE!" Christian yelled at me while shaking a little. "Wake up, it's just a dream, you okay."
I woke up, all sweaty and my face soaked with tears, the dream of the accident haunting me every night since it happened. I look up seeing Christian, my completely annoying but loving cousin. His family took me in after my family's horrible accident.
"Are you okay? You were screaming?"
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you from your beauty sleep? How does it look I am doing?" I was tired of people asking me that stupid question, my parents are dead and I have to start at a new school tomorrow, how the hell do you think I am?
"Chill Rose, I am just worried about you? You have barely gotten a few hours of sleep a night, I feel bad leaving you alone." I loved Christian he was like the big brother I never had and never really wanted until now.
He pulled me into a tight hug and kissed the top of my head.
"Thank you Christian, I am really glad you are here for me."
"No problem Rose, I will always be here for you no matter what, but if this gets out to our friends that we are all huggy and be a mushy I will so deny it and you will pay."
"Aww, come on Chrissy, you don't want Lissa know your soft side, I am sure she will get a kick out of it." I giggled.
He smiled seeing my mood improve, "Rosie, do it and I will make your life a living hell, you know she thinks me as a total badass and I can't lose my awesome rep she is really starting to like me."
"Fine, but you should know she already is totally in love with you, so I don't think you have to worry.. much..." I laughed a little harder, then yawned I looked at the clock and realized that it was three thirty in the morning.
"Alright I am going to go back to bed, I hope you sleep better Rose." Christian turned to leave and my heart began to beat faster.
"Umm… Christian?" I said in a small voice.
"UGHH, yeah I will sleep on your floor again, remind me tomorrow to blow up that air mattress in the garage so I don't have to keep sleeping on this hard floor, let me go and grab my pillow and blankets I will be right back."
He was back within two minutes and lied down on the floor. "You can just sleep on top of the cover if you don't want to sleep on the floor."
"I think that would be weird, I will sleep on the floor, no biggy, I told I will always be here for you." With that we went to sleep because we (mostly me) big day tomorrow starting at my new school. I would have to make new friends because I only knew Christian and his girlfriend which happened to be my best friend Lissa, but that was it and I was scared.
Beep, Beep, Beep!
"ROSE, shut that damn alarm off!" Christian yelled as he threw a pillow at my head. I groaned hitting the snooze button.
"Come on you two, don't want to be late for school." Aunt Kate, my mother's sister, knocking on my door, it was not unusual for Christian to sleep on my floor, he had been doing since last week when my nightmare started.
I pulled myself out of bed knowing I didn't want to look like I felt at school because I sure didn't need people asking me more questions than necessary, but who am I kidding I was coming in the middle of the year, people are going to ask questions.
I jumped in the shower, I took a short on (20 minutes) so I could have some time to do my hair and makeup. I kept it simple with my makeup and let my hair air dry which left it in beautiful soft waves. I pull on my favorite jeans, a teal V-neck tee, and some brown boots.
I grabbed my stuff and headed down stairs, I looked at my phone, I still had five minutes before we needed to leave, plenty of time for breakfast. I grabbed a beagle and popped it into the toaster. That's when Uncle John walked with a smile.
"Well good morning sunshine, how are we holding up today?" He gave me a hug and a kiss on the head.
"As good as I can be, hoping school will help get my mind off things." I gave the best smile I could be it turn out to be a half-hearted on instead.
"As long as you're trying it has to get better." He gave me one more squeeze and walked over to grab a cup of coffee.
Just as I finished my breakfast, Christian walked in the kitchen rubbing his neck. "Man that floor is killing me." He winked at me.
"Sorry Chrissy, I guess you're not as manly as I thought you were, can't handle sleeping on floor."
"Aww Rosie, call me that again and you can just walk to school." I stuck my tongue out at him like a five year old.
"Alright you too, if I didn't know any better I would thought you were more brother and sister than cousins" Uncle John said laughing at us.
We said our goodbyes and headed off to school. My stomach was doing flips as we got closer. When we pulled into the I saw Lissa standing just outside the school waiting for us, along with a group of people.
Right before we got out of the car, Christian could see my stress, he grabbed my hand and gave it a tight squeeze, "hey it's going to be fine, everyone will love you." I let out a long breath and let go of his hand.
As we got closer to the group Lissa ran over and gave me a tight hug, "Oh Rose I am so glad you are here." I gave her a small smile "Me too."
"Let me introduce you to the gang." We approached the group. There were five guys and four girls. There was Mason and Sara, Eddie and Mia, Adrian and Viktoria, Dimitri and Tasha, and Andre. They all seemed to be together except for Andre. He kinda just seemed to be there because he was told to not because he wanted too. After Lissa introduced us all she adds "We are all sophomores except, Andre, Dimitri, and Adrian." I was still looking at Andre who rolled his eyes, Lissa noticed, "Oh and Andre is my brother." That made since why he was acting that way Lissa loves to take charge.
"It's really nice to meet you all, but I gotta go to the office and get my schedule I am sure I will see you all later." Everyone said goodbye noticing Andre took off first, and Dimitri had been looking at me the whole time, I thought that was kinda awkward since his girlfriend was standing right there and I could tell she noticed too because she was giving me that bitch stay away from my guy look.
I started walking towards the office when Christian and Lissa caught up with me, "So how do you like the gang?" Lissa said all bubbly.
"Uhh.. they seem nice." I said trying to figure out Andre and Dimitri, "What is Andre's deal, he seem like he really doesn't want to be here?"
"Oh, he just gets annoyed when I talk, but he is really nice, you too will be great friends I can tell." Lissa said smiling. I could tell she was going to try and fix us up. Great. Just what I needed.
