Chapter 2
Previously:
"Yes thank you for helping the girl who thought no one could."
The school day finished quickly much too quickly for Rose's liking. Everyone was excited to go home well everyone except Rose she certainly wasn't looking forward to getting beaten for every little thing that was wrong about her, she just hoped that she didn't do anything wrong this morning while she was in a rush because her father had made her scrub the house before she left and iron his clothes everything even his underwear. Rose was so worried that she took out her notebook and started making a list of what she had done.
Oscar looked at Rose from the opposite side of the classroom watching as her face crumpled up and her eyes seemed to cloud with something but he couldn't quiet see what it was she almost looked scared but that wasn't possible was it? The girl that never showed any emotion was scared. Oscar shook that thought away as he continued to study her. She was tall not extremely tall she was just a bit taller than his chin much taller than most of the girls in the class and her hair was so long even in her braid it came down to her waist it would probably be a lot longer if she let it loose, she was also skinny and if you looked at her closely some might say she was too skinny her clothes seemed to sag on her body not complementing the figure he knew she had. But her eyes seemed to always draw the most amount of his attention they always had a small sparkle in them that tinny spark of determination on that he adored in her and her voice it was like velvet to his ears he could listen to her talk forever and her lips oh her lips once they had to do a play when they were in year 7 and he and Rose had got part of the couple and she had to kiss him on the cheek and it felt incredible her lips were so soft and smooth he couldn't help but wonder what they would have felt like on his lips instead. He was pulled out of his thoughts by Mrs King.
"Right class dismissed you may go home now." She said and everyone instantly jumped up and ran for the door well everyone except Rose and Oscar, Rose seemed to be taking her time slowly packing away her things and then she walked out of the classroom Oscar was suspicious of her behaviour she was always the last one out yes, but that didn't explain why she was slowly doing everything something was going on and Oscar didn't like it he decided to follow her home and see if he could get any information out of her like that but she was Rose Gupta so nothing was easy when it came to her.
Rose walked for a long time well about 15 minutes before she broke out into a run going really fast he knew she was good at P.E good enough to get an A but he didn't know she was this fast she kept looking down at her watch checking the time and every time she did she would speed up, they passed many things on their way and soon Rose stopped running and started walking Oscar looked around at the street it seemed so dirty he looked down at his watch and checked the time and was surprised it was 4:00 and school had finished at 3:00 he was lucky he had text his Orphanage leader to say that he would be home before 8:00. Oscar quickly ran behind a wall as Rose came to a stop he peeped around the corner and saw a tiny little girl standing in front of her the giro couldn't have been more than six and she seemed so bruised and her clothes seemed to be torn and tattered in places Rose bent down and hugged the girl the girl clung onto her as Rose stroked her back and whispered some things into her ears, Rose broke the hug and pulled of her backpack and pulled out the small blanket she had made during D.T she had made it black and white and had small interact designs on it and she gave it to the girl who squealed and hugged Rose again and then Rose pulled out some material two rolls of thread and a sewing needle and gave it to the girl, the girl seemed as if she were about to cry of happiness.
"Miss Rose you are the bestest people I know!" The little girl said loudly.
"Now Prim bestest isn't a word and it should be people not person come to the park at our usual time tomorrow and bring anyone else you find okay that came yesterday I think we should go over singular and plurals tomorrow, okay?" Rose said smiling down at the little girl.
"Of course Miss Rose and is your back okay?" The little girl questioned pocketing the thread material and needle. Rose seemed to have frozen but her smile still remained Oscar was confused what was wrong with her back.
"Yes Prim my back is fine now run along you have to get back to your shelter and make a small fire I don't need you getting a cold okay and I'm only getting limited supplies from Hermione and Kenneth and I'm trying to spread them out equally and there won't be enough for you if you get sick understood?" Prim nodded and Rose kissed her on the cheek and let her run off. Rose then continued her walk down the road were now their seemed to be houses but not that well kept besides one it seemed that whoever lived there seemed to keep it well kept ver well surprisingly Rose turned into the house and knocked on the door once. Oscar was confused she had been walking home herself since year 5 why didn't she have her own set of keys? The door was shot open and a rough looking man came out and pulled Rose in roughly by her braid making her yelp a little the man punched her in the stomach making Oscar grit his teeth.
"You pathetic little whore! Who have you been sleeping with in MY house?!" The man shouted not even caring that he was very loud and that they were still outside.
"I haven't slept with anyone Father." Rose said looking down
"Well then how do you explain the blood on your bed you slut!?"
"It might be from my period father."
"Then why didn't you wash it this morning you stupid girl!?"
"I didn't check it this morning I'm sorry father I was in a rush to get to school because I had an exam." Rose said whimpering as the man dug his nails into her arm drawing blood.
"Do you know what else you forgot to do this morning?"
"No father I'm not sure." She replied weakly Oscar was ready to go and punch the piece of turd that was making her suffer.
"You left the iron on all day do you know how hot it has gotten slut do you?"
"No father."
"Well let me show you then." He said and he pulled the iron out and shoved it against her back making Rose scream out in pain then he burnt her stomach and kicked her in the shin making Rose crumble down to the ground he then kicked her again and again and again over and over at the end of it Rose probably had quiet a few broken bones she had a bloody nose and was probably bruised and beaten all over.
"I'm going to leave you out here so you can think about what you've done!" The man screamed and slammed the door close, Oscar ran up to the broken bloody girl laying on the ground.
"Rose,Rose are you okay?" He asked urgently taking her face in his hands looking down at her concerned she smiled up at him.
"I'm fine I've gone through worse just help me up will you I have to start on the list he gave me."
"There us no way that is happening now tell me where you room is in the house." He said and Rose pointed at a window near the tree Oscar nodded and climbed up the tree and opened the window and climbed in and he was horrified there wasn't even a bed there was just a blanket and a chest if draws and a few amount of books. Oscar opened up the draws and stuffed all of the clothes in his bag and then he found a few rucksacks and stuffed all of her other things in them as well he put the two bags on his back and climbed out of the window and down the tree back to Rose who was now trying to stand up.
"Oscar scooped her into his arms and started walking away from her house.
"You are never going back their again not if I can help it." He whispered into her ear she looked up at him and snuggled into his chest.
"Can we get Prim?" She said before she blacked out.
