Chapter One: Three Years Later
Rose POV
High school was hands down the greatest time of my life . At least it was until the night of graduation. That night the love of my life dropped a fucking nuke on my every dream with a single sentence. " I got into Harvard." I should have been prepared for this . I knew this would happen , after all Emmett is a genius and his very last name is weighted with power . He would go on to success and I would be left behind. I was able to mask my anguish with a smile and fake enthusiasm. We decided to make love one last time before he left . I was gonna miss him. His bright smile and dimples. His lively blue eyes. His jet black curls and his loving personality. He promised to call me and I swore the same. The day he left for school he left me and his son behind , unknowingly of course. I know I should have told him but he was so excited about Harvard and I knew this baby would effect his chances at success. I kept my secret only telling my father after Em had left.
My father's disappointment was short lived the moment he saw the ultrasound of his grandson he could care less it was his eighteen year old daughter who was pregnant . The distraction of a baby did nothing to stop me from thinking about Emmett. In fact it just made it worse. There was a time when I couldn't look at my son without breaking down . He looks so much like his damn father it's almost a curse. By the time Aaiden was two I had grown used to the twinge of pain I feel when my son flashes me a dimpled smile. I still hold a thread of hope that one day me and Emmett can pick up where we left off and be a family , but I know the chances are slim , I mean I know it's been three years but stranger things have happened. I did go from ambitious girl aspiring to be a social worker to being a waitress at the local diner . Sometimes life is just a tornado of bullshit.
