Chapter 2

RPOV

I ran down stairs while trying to tie my hair up. It had been a real struggled since my hands and feet had to work fast simultaneously. Crap, I'm late again for school! I guessed Eddie had left me behind and I had to walk by myself to school.

"Chrissy.." I walked to the couch where my brother was sleeping. His hair was messy and a there were a pair of dark circle under his eyes.

"Christian.." I shook his body. A strong smell of alcohol entered my nose when I came near to him. Look like this boy was drunk last night.

"Christian…" I shook his body harder. He opened his eyes slowly.

"Rose…my beautiful Rose..where are you going honey?" Christian was hardly drunk. He always know when to stop drinking. This was so not like him.

"I'm going to school your idiot! Wake up and go sleep in your room," I yelled so that he could get back his sense.

"My room…this is my room."

"No Chrissy, you're sleeping in the couch in the living room,"

"Oh baby this couch is so cozy – "

"Whatever. I'm going to school," I started to walk away when I heard he said "Abby, why did you cheating on me? What I've done wrong?" at this point, he started to sob. Abby was the girl that he dated before entering college.

"A great way to start a day," I turned back to him and sat behind the couch.

"Easy there Chrissy. She's not good for you –"

"Rose? What is going on?" I heard Dimitri voice. I turned my head and saw he was standing behind me. He was wearing a pants and black singlet that showing his muscles on his arms. Now, I wanted to be drunk.

"Christian was drunk. I think he'd been dumped," my point was proven when he wailed that Abby name again and again. Dimitri and I exchanged look.

"Just go to school. I'll take care of him," Dimitri said. I shrugged and stand up.

"Thanks Dimitri,"

"Don't mention it Rose. I'd been there when he sober and I'm sure you didn't want to see that."

"No I don't," I smiled.

"Take care Rose," he said, smiling back. This is the real great start of the morning.

Xxx

I cleared my throat when I sat down on the bench. Eddy and Mia were trying to get into each other throat in front of me. They stop kissing and I'm reaching out for donut in Eddie's plate.

"Hi Rose," Mia said. I nodded at her. She looked like a doll with her short her.

"Hey Rose. What make you late for history this morning?" Eddie asked. I've been in the same class with him for history.

"Christian got drunk – "

"Christian? When he's back?" asked Mia in an excited voice. She used to have a crush on him when we're in elementary school. I don't know why my friend keep hitting on my brother for god sake.

"Easy there little girl," I said when I noticed a jealous glared that Eddie threw at his girl friend. The three of us were childhood friend. They always came and stayed at my place until they figure out their feeling to each other.

It's happened on the third grade and they start to have their own private time with each other. And then, Lissa start to appear in my life.

"He just got home yesterday and guess what, today I'd found him lying in the couch, drunk," I said taking some fries into my mouth.

"Why would he drink? I mean, it's not like him to get drunk," Eddie asked.

I shrugged, "He's been dumped,"

"What? By whom?" Mia squealed.

"That Abby girl, the one that he dated before entering the college. Came on Mia, if Eddie left you for 3 years, would you wait for him?"

"If it was you, I will wait," Mia looked at Eddie in the eyes and they started kissing again.

"Ouh, that was so sweet," I said irritatingly.

"I've found a place in the town yesterday that was strategic to open our restaurant," Christian said as both of us sat on the couch. He just recovered from his hangover after sleeping for 5 hours.

"How many workers do we need?" I asked.

"About 6 to 7 people. We need 3 chefs and 4 waiters or waitress,"

"I can help with cooking, you know if –"

"It's okay Dimitri. I'm in charge at the kitchen. I need you to manage the financial, the inflow and outflow cash. That's sort of thing you know." I nodded.

Christian took culinary during college time meanwhile I'm taking accountant. We both had been roommate for 3 years. I used to take Christian to Russian once, to celebrate Christmas with my family. We decided to open a restaurant after graduating. That was the main reason I was here, in a town in the New York City.

"We can start to advertise about hiring some workers. The sooner we found the workers, the sooner we can open the restaurant," I said.

"Yeah. I hope this going as planned," he smiled.

"Hey Christina! How are you feeling?" Rose came and joined us in the living room. She took a seat beside me, in front of Christian. She smelled great and looked as awesome as always.

"Hey Rose. I'm good, thanks for asking,"

"Do you want me to kill that Abby girl?" I tried to hide a smile when she made a wicked face.

"Just leave her alone, Rose," Christian grabbed the remote and turned the television on.

"You are no fun," she pouted her mouth. Did I mention she looked cute?

"I'm going up stairs," she said when all of us start to focus on the story in the television.

"Wait, Rose," Christian called her when she's about to stand up. She sighed and sat back. Her long hair moved with the movement. I wished I can touch it.

"Can you ask Lissa to come over tonight?"

"Look Chrissy, you had all my sympathy for your break up. But I don't want you to hit any of my friends."

"No Rose. Tonight we're having a homecoming party. You can invite everybody that you want,"

"A party? Is it a good idea to be drunk two nights in a row?" she rolled her eyes.

"I won't be drunk," he said.

"What do you think comrade?" she looked up at my face.

"Comrade?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I saw the duster and western books in your room," she grinned.

"A small party wouldn't hurt," I smiled. I know Christian needed some time to heal. Maybe by seeing his old friends can make him recover.

"Okay big boys. I need to call Eddie and Mia!" she jumped from the couch and walked out the living room.

"Don't forget Lissa!" Christian screamed.

"I can't promise. She's busy preparing for her final exam, but I will ask," Rose peek from the outside.

"Dress up my friend! We're going to meet a lot of girls," Christian grinned.
