Rose cut the phone and looked at her mother. Her mother said, "Well looks like it's a new game now, to get money now. If you don't wor5k where will you get the money? I've told you Rose , cut the phone when he starts talking nonsense."

"It's not that easy." Was all she told her mother as she went to her room and banged her door and started crying. Her parents had split apart after her father had turned into an alcoholic. Well it was difficult living g with an alcoholic, it was better to have your parents living apart than to have them fight with each other every single minute of the day and to have your father sober in the morning and a turn into a complete monster under the influence of alcohol.

But of course he called up to talk to her and her brother, but her brother never got stuck between their parents. It was always rose who had to fight with her dad so that he didn't start fighting with his mother. Her mother had suffered with her father, and she didn't want her mothers' health to go down the drain because of her dad.

Why should he ask for money, like they had any to give him? Her mom was earning just enough for the three of them. And my dad wanting money to drink.

Why was she stuck in between her parents all the time? Trying not to upset both of them and in the end fighting with both of them. God she hated the fact that they couldn't grow up and sort out their problems themselves, it was so immature of them, rather her dad to be using her as a medium to get her mother to talk to him.

She was only 15 and was going to write her OWLS soon, she didn't need all this emotional attyachar!

She needed to talk to some one, but whom to talk to?

Albus, he was in America on a holiday with his family, which left James and Lily out of her list.

All her other friend never under stood why she couldn't get her parent to gether again, well it was their choice. She wasn't given a chance to express her opinion.

Now she needed someone to talk to, to get her emotions out. The only person left was Scorpius Malfoy, one of her best friends and also he long time crush. Could she call him up and talk to him, yes she would she had no one else to go to.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed his number, she had second thoughts and she was about to cut the phone when she heard his voice from the other end,

"Hello rose. Whats up?"

But all he heard form the other end was dry sobs

" Rose , rose are you alright?"

"Rose talk to me"

"I'm coming to your house now; hang in there for a few minutes."

In less than five minutes, Scorpius was banging on rose's bedroom door

"Rose open the damn door or ill blast it open."

She opened the door and flung her self at into his arms.

After she had calmed down and they were comfortably seated on her bed he asked her," now can you tell me what is wrong?"

Rose wiped her tears and said," my father called up today to wish me for the OWLS and some where in between he asked me to give the phone to my mother and I refused to and then he said he needed money because he was sick. And my mother refused to speak to him and I was left getting emotionally black mailed by both of them and I banged the phone down and spoke rather rudely to my mom and locked my self in my room. God, scor, I just hate when I get stuck in a situation like this. Its so annoying." breaking down again.

Scorpius pulled her into a hug and said," it'll be fine, another week and you'll be in Hogwarts away from both your parents, shh rose, calm down."

After about a few hours, Mrs. weasley walked into to see rose asleep in scorpius arms and he himself fast asleep. She turned off the lights and smiled sadly to herself.

She hated the fact that her family wasn't whole anymore and her children had to go this ordeal. But it was a choice between the devil and the deep sea.
