"I don't care! Give it. To me. Now! Or I'll take everything away from you," said a hard, firm voice, turning low and menacing halfway through. She looked at phone receiver as if the person on the other side could see the hateful glares she was sending him, letting her emotions show in the secrecy of her office...or so she thought. The petite red-haired mother didn't realize that a little slit in the door was open, wide enough for someone to peek in.
"Now, Janine, calm down and hear me out," Rose's father started staying, trying to get his wife to see reason. While his tone was calm and patient, the authority and challenge many have come to fear was very evident. "I will not give you my password. You need to finally trust me when I saw I'm not hiding anything."
"Ibrahim, give me the password or I swear on your life that I will get you sent back to Turkey and you'll never see Rose again."
"Janine! Stop being irrational! And don't bring Rose into this. We've been able to get push our differences aside so Rose wouldn't worry while she's away from home. Please...Janine...'m begging you...let me explain why I won't let you see the bank accounts." Hearing her father plead for understanding broke Rose's heart. How could her mother be so heartless? Most importantly, what miniscule, insignificant thing did her dad unknowingly do to set her mother off again?
"I don't want to hear it! And don't be naive and stupid. Of course she knows something's wrong. Whether she's in denial is something else, but she knows things aren't right between us." She said matter-of-factingly, scoffing a couple times in disbelief. Rose couldn't help the disgust and anger that flashed threw her eyes as she heard the patronizing tone in her mother's voice.
"And who's fault is that?" the man retorted, a clear sign that his patience had its limit. "Look, I'm on my way home. Hopefully by the time I get home you'll have come down a bit and we talk. Rose is coming back in a few days, and I would really like to have a peaceful holiday weekend."
"I doubt—" she began to mumble before she heard something creak outside the door, causing her to hang up while her head to snap up. All she saw was the door.
Rose had leaned in a bit to hear what her mother was mumbling, causing her to accidentally take a step forward, causing the floor to creak under the rare pressure Rose was putting on it. Fearful she might get caught, she stepped back and pressed her self against the wall next to the door, silently making her way back to her room.
Janine opened the top right drawer of her desk and pulled out the Glock 17 from its safety box. She took the safety off, cocked it, and opened the door.
"Who's there?" she said in a strong, confident tone, telling the poor fool that intruded into her home that they would regret it for was along as they lived...if they lived. Everyone knows that Janine Hathaway is a force to be reckoned with, Death in heels is what they call her behind her back.
Once the floor was cleared, she processed to do the same upstairs. While there, she stopped in the kitchen, made herself a snack, and headed back to her office to put the gun away. However, when she got to the stairs, she heard the most heartbreaking sound coming from the end of hall, before it was lost in the loud music that started playing.
After Rose quietly made it up the flight of stairs, she dashed to her room, slamming the door behind her - partially hoping that her mother would hear. She plugged her phone into the stereo and blasted the music while she unpacked her bags, drowning out her thoughts and any outside noise. Noticing that she had tears running, she angrily wiped them away and put on that stone face she learned from her mother. After emptying her suitcases, backpack, and handbags and putting them in their places, a thought crossed her mind as she lay on her bed letting the lyrics flow in one ear and out the other. Jumping up so fast that she got a head rush, she went to her closet and rummaged until she found the perfect outfits. Then she went to her drawers to grab something to sleep in, some undergarments to change, and her wallet and threw it all into her overnight bag, grabbing her phone typing in the number she's memorized since she got her first cell phone. In her haste to leave unnoticed, she ran right into her mother as she hit the dial button.
"Rose? When did you get back?" Her mother's confusing voice startled Rose, causing her to drop the phone. Without so much as a side glance towards her mother, she picked the phone up and pressed it to her ear as she made her way back to her car.
"Hello?" said the familiar, cheerful tone.
"Hey! Are you at your place?"
"Yea…" uncertainty and slight worry replacing the gleeful voice.
"Great! I'm heading over now. See you in 20!"
"Rose…" said the now grim voice in warning, not saying more before the call ended.
A/N: I hope you guys liked! So far I have chapters 2 and 3 in the editing process and am writing chapter 4...where the real fun begins ;) so I have three things to ask of you guys:
1) Please Review and let me know what you thought! I don't have an exact layout of where I want this story to go, but I have a few scenes in mind that I want to write so...Tell me who you want to see, what you want to see, etc. And I'll try to fit it in :)
2) I haven't decided if I wanted Rose's love to be Dimitri or Adrian...so I'm going to have a poll. Tell me who you want (and if you can, why) and the man with the most votes wins...
3) I don't have a beta...and I would really really like one...at least for the characters...so if you're interested send me a PM and we'll go from there
I hope you guys have a great day/evening
