Chapter 3

RPOV

I couldn't believe my eyes. My mother was in her hospital bed, like she had been for the past few month's but so looked worse than I had seen her so far. She was inhumanly pale, and was hooked up to an oxygen tank, with small tubes in her nose to help her breath. She had quite a few bald spots on her head, and her normally extraordinarily beautiful auburn hair looked weak and dead. It seemed the radiation treatments had caught up to her, and her hair had started falling out. When we closed the door behind us, she opened her eyes, and smiled slightly.

"Rose, Jill." She said in a hoarse, weak voice that made me want to cry.

"Mommy!" Jill yelled as she ran over and sat in the chair next to my mother's hospital bed.

"Hi Jilly, how's my little girl?" My mom asked, and Jill automatically started talking about how good care I've been taking care of he, but how she missed her so much and wished she would go home. After she was done talking, I walked up and sat next to my mother, and grasped her hand.

"Rose, if anything happens-" She said, but I interrupted her before she could finish.

"No. Mom, its only 12 days until I'm 18, and you will survive." I said, and she didn't bring it up again.

"Thank you for taking care of Jill." She said, before she fell asleep, and I decided it was time to go home. I quietly picked up Jill and brought her out to the car, and made the drive home. When we got there, I tucked her in quietly and got myself ready for bed, before snuggling into the covers and falling into what I hoped would be a dreamless sleep, because I knew what was coming if it wasn't.

1 week later

It had been a week since the hospital had needed to put my mom on the oxygen tank, and she was only getting worse. Jill and I had visited her 4 times since when we first saw her with the oxygen tank, and by now all of her hair had been lost, and she was looking sicker than ever.

On top of this, the 8 popular kids who wouldn't seem to leave me alone, kept attempting to talk to me, sitting with me at lunch, or walking up to me in the halls. I was actually considering giving them a chance, but was one again hesitant, remembering the incident that had happened in grade 8 at her old school

FLASHBACK BEGINS

It was April, and unlike most kids her age, she wasn't hanging out with her friends in the nice weather, she was, as always, sitting and drawing in her sketch book. While she was drawing, one of the more popular kids had come up to her with her group of friends and had started talking to her. They asked her if she wanted to hang out with them, and surprised by the kindness, she agreed. For the next few months, Rose thought that she and the girls had become friends, but at the grad dance, it would be proven to all be a prank, only a way to humiliate her. She had gone to grad with her group of friends and during a slow song, the boy she had a crush on for the last year or so had asked her to dance. She had agreed, and they headed out to the middle of the floor. Halfway through the song, he stepped back, much to her confusion but before she could ask what was going on, she felt something gooey and slimy dumped over her head. She looked around to see her 'friends' laughing at her, pointing and calling her names, and she ran away, and ran all the way back home with tears in her eyes.

FLASHBACK OVER

After that I had always been cautious of popular people trying to be nice to me, because of that incident. I realised that during the time I was thinking this, I had gotten all the way from Jill's school to my special spot that I have visited frequently since age 13, and even more since my mother had contracted cancer. I walked through the small trail towards the meadow where I had visited almost every morning this week. I walked over to a large hollow tree that had my guitar wrapped in waterproof covering. I took it out and walked over to a large rock and sat down, testing the strings before beginning to play a song I had written. I played the intro, and then started to sing the lyrics I had written almost a month ago. (AN: This song is Kiss It all Better by He is We)

He sits in his Cell, and he lays on his bed,

Covers his head, and closes his eyes

He sees a smoking gun, and the coward he ran

And in his arms is the bleeding, love of his life

And she cries,

Kiss It all Better, I'm not ready to go

It's not your fault love

You didn't know, you didn't know

Her hands are so cold and he kisses her face

And says

Everything, will be alright

He noticed the gun, and his rage grew inside

He said, I'll avenge my lover, tonight

And she cries

Kiss it all better; I'm not ready to go

It's not your fault love you didn't know

You didn't know

Now he sits behind prison bars

25 to life and she's not in his arms

He couldn't bring her back with a bullet to the heart

In the back of a man who tore his world apart

He holds on to a memory

All it is is a memory

Eh, Eh

He cries, stay with me, until I fall asleep

Stay with me-e

Stay with me until I fall asleep,

Stay with me

Stay with me, until I fall asleep

Stay with me-e

Stay with me until I fall asleep,

Stay with me

Kiss it all better

I'm not ready, to go,

It's not your fault love you didn't know,

You didn't know

Stay with me, until I fall asleep

Stay with me-e

Stay with me until I fall asleep,

Stay with me

stay with me, until I fall asleep

Stay with me-e

Stay with me until I fall asleep,

Stay with me

Just as I finished the sing, I heard the snap of a branch, and turned around startled to see a familiar face, his shoulder length brown hair down and framing his face before he ran off, started at being caught. After that, I just put away my guitar and got back into my truck before heading off to school.

When I got there, waiting outside the school for me were the same 8 populars who couldn't seem to leave me alone, and it didn't help that I had almost every class with at least 6 of them, if not them all. I sighed and plugged in my headphones, blasting my music in my ears, and ignoring them as they tried to talk to me when I walked past them, and into the school.

Lissa POV

"Why won't she let us be her friends?" I asked my group, after Rose had walked right past us, ignoring our attempts to talk to her.

"Maybe there's a reason she's so closed off." Dimitri suggested, and that surprised me. I narrowed my eyes at him and he looked away.

"You know something about her! What is it?" asked Mia before I could call him out.

"Nothing!" He said, but I could tell he was lying.

"Okay! I was going for a run this morning when I saw her car out by the wood, and her getting out. I was curious, so I followed her. She went to some meadow and walked to a tree and took out a guitar and started singing." He said, saying it as if it was of no importance.

"So maybe we can go there and see if we can talk to her." Mason suggested, and we all agreed. At that moment, the bell rang that signalled 2 minutes until class, and we all headed to our first class, biology.

When we walked in, we saw a large table at the back that was almost entirely empty, except for Rose, so we went and sat down. When she saw us, she game and annoyed noise and rolled her eyes before moving as far away from us as the table would allow, because everyone was in class by now and there were no other seats. Throughout the entire lesson, Rose ignored us and the second the bell rang, she already had her stuff packed up and she bolted out of the classroom.

Rose POV

After biology, where they had taken to even sitting with me to try and get me to talk to them, they had been sitting with or near me at every class. It was finally lunch, and I had remembered to pack a lunch so I wouldn't have to sit in the cafeteria, and hopefully they wouldn't pester me. On my way to lunch, someone walked in front of me ad sticks out their foot, causing me to trip and drop all my books. I look up to see Tasha and her friends all standing over me, laughing their asses off.

"Wow Rosemarie. I knew you were clumsy but tripping over your own feet?" She tsked, causing everyone around her to laugh. I didn't respond, and only started to pick up all my stuff. I had everything except my sketchbook, and when I looked up, Tasha had it in one of her perfectly manicured hands.

"Looking for this?" She asked and I stood up and tried to grab it, but she held it over my head. She was only an inch taller than me, but with her heels on, she was almost a foot taller.

"No Rose, don't grab. What's the magic word?" She asked mockingly, and I just tried to grab my sketch book again. She smirked and opened the book, but before she could comment on any of my drawings, I snatched it out of her hands and walked down the hall, leaving them all laughing at me as I walked down the hall. I headed to my locker and just grabbed my lunch, my sketchbook along with a few art pencils, and my keys and headed to my car. I decided that I would go back to my meadow, even though Dimitri knew where it was, I was hoping he wouldn't remember the path. I parked my car where I normally did when visiting this spot and walked the path towards the small meadow. I took out my guitar, much like I had this morning and sat down on the same rock before starting to play another song I had written

Underneath the echoes

Buried in the shadows

There you were

Drawn into your mystery

I was just beginning

To see your ghost

But you must know

I'll be here waiting

Hoping, praying that

This light will guide you home

When you're feeling lost I'll leave my love

Hidden in the sun

For when the darkness comes

Now the door is open

The world I knew is broken

There's no return

Now my heart is not scared

Just knowing that you're out there

Watching me

So believe

I'll be here waiting

Hoping, praying that

This light will guide you home

When you're feeling lost I'll leave my love

Hidden in the sun

For when the darkness comes

(Oh oh oh)

For when the darkness comes

I'll Be here waiting

Hoping, praying that

This light will guide you home

When you're feeling lost I'll leave my love

Hidden in the sun

For when the darkness comes

Hidden in the sun

For when the darkness comes

When I finished the song, I was surprised to hear the sound of people clapping behind me. I turned around, startled to find Lissa, Andre, Mason, Christian, Mia, Adrian and Dimitri all standing mere feet away from where I sat. I turned my now angry glare on Dimitri, where he looked quite guilty.

"You couldn't fucking keep your mouth shut, could you?" I asked, putting as much venom in my voice as I could. Instead of waiting for an answer, I stood up and wrapped my guitar back I it's protective covering before walked past them. Or trying to, because as I walked by, Lissa reached out and grabbed my wrist which caused me to flinch, stopping me.

"Why won't you even give us a chance?" She asked, genuinely concerned. I sighed in frustration.

"Because the last time I gave someone a chance, I was humiliated." I said, and yanked my arm out of her grip. She looked surprised, and give me a sad look.

"We wouldn't do that." She said, and I could hear the honesty in her voice, but she could just be an amazing actress.

"How would I know that?" I asked, and she sighed.

"Just give us a chance." Mia pleaded, and the rest of them looked at me hopefully. I sighed and started to consider it. It couldn't be that bad to have a few good friends, would it?

"Fine." I sighed and Lissa gave a little whoop and reached forward to hug me.

"Whoa girl, slow down. I don't do hugs." I said, and she rolled her eyes a bit, but backed off. We all walked back to where my car was, which now had two other cars parked on the side of the road which must have been the cars they came in. I kept a normal face on the outside, but I was very surprised on the inside when I saw that they had a Porsche and a Ferrari! Like, who can afford those kinds of cars?

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys back at school." I said as we all got into our cars and drove back.
