Thwack
What the?
I sat up disoriented in my bed. I glanced over at my alarm clock, 3:30am.
Thwack
Someone was throwing something hard at my window.
Thwack
Ok that was it. Whoever was outside my window was about to get the beat down.
I flicked the lamp beside me on, threw back the covers and stalked over to my window. I ripped back the curtains, yanked open the window and stared down into the night.
"ROSE! LEMMIE IN!"
"JASPER? WHAT THE FUCK?"
I caught site of the blonde hair in the street light, dark shapes next to him resembled a suitcase and over night bag.
"JUST OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR, IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE!"
I threw my night gown over top of my PJ's and hurried down the stairs.
Throwing open the front door, I leapt into the air and threw my arms around his neck.
"You're actually here!" I exclaimed, happiness entering my soul and bring back the hope I had lost.
"Wow Rose, hormones? That was quite the homecoming"
" Smart-ass" I muttered clapping him around the back of his head.
"C'mon let's get you inside, you must be freezing!"
He nodded rubbing the neck of his head before picking up his bags and following me inside.
I went into the kitchen, flipped on the lights and began making him a hot cocoa as he sat down at the table. He was silent through out the process, his head resting in his hands as he stared into space.
I placed the steaming mug down in front of him and took the seat beside him. After a few moments he turned to look at me, studying my features, he carefully took both my hands into his and kissed the top of my knuckles.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there Rose, I would have been with you in a heartbeat if Dad had got his ass into gear and told me what actually happened".
I nodded my head slowly and stared down at the table, tracing the wood pattern with my eyes.
"Dad never really gave a shit about me Jazz, you were always his favourite. I was just a girl who was born at the same time, and now he has the fucktard Maggie, he doesn't really need or want me. I'm just someone out to ruin his perfect little family".
Tears began to well up in my eyes as I stared down at the yellowing lace table cloth. I glanced up at Jasper, a look of remorse etched into every line on his face.
"I never knew you felt like that Rose, If I had a known I would have tried to include you in things more, I was under the impression that you thought you were too good for this family, I was always angry with you because you got all the attention from everyone else".
"No that was never it Jasper, I never got attention from everyone else, sure people would look at me and comment on how I looked but they actually listened to what you had to say, I'm just a pretty face, you however boy version of me had brains to go along with it. That's why Dad boasted that's why I was ignored".
Jasper shook his head.
"I should have realised you felt like that, I should have protected you from this" He gestured at my stomach. "From everything. I should have been a brother. I'm sorry".
"Don't apologise Jazz, what happened between us happened, what happened to me happened, there is nothing anyone can do to change it, we just have to get on with our lives and make the most of the shitty hand we've been dealt.
"How far along are you anyway?"
"Two months".
His eyes darkened
"What?" I asked confused
"Maggie's the same, like exactly the same"
"Oh come on!"
What more was I expected to go through? Now my dad's first grandkid was gonna be the exact same age as his next devil spawn?
"Sorry Rose"
"Did you tell dad yet?"
"About what?"
"Me, pregnant"
"No, not yet, I sort of forgot once I heard what happened to you and then I just got on a plane and flew right here"
"I'm so glad you did Jazz, I really needed you to be on my side. I know we may not have been on good terms before this, but you're still my brother, my TWIN brother. We should look after each other."
"It was dad and Maggie, they planted this idea in my head that this whole divorce thing was mum's fault but I know now."
"What do you mean?" I asked intrigued
"Well" he looked at me as though trying to stress the fact that he didn't believe this anymore.
"Dad sort of made it look like mum was in the wrong, he said he had wanted a divorce because he just fell out of love but then he said that mum through a fit. He said she said she was pregnant and that he couldn't leave her with his un born child, blah blah blah. He then said that after he agreed to stay she faked a miscarriage, dad said that was the last straw for him so he moved out. He said that Maggie had comforted him as his secretary but it eventually turned into more."
"That" I said "Is fucking bullshit, what the fuck? She...he... FUCK I HATE HIM!"
"Shhh Rose calm down, I know the truth now, I'm sorry it took so long to come round but I know that dad had been sleeping with Maggie for a while"
"I hate her Jasper, I really do. She ruined Mum and Dad's marriage, she got pregnant, and now she's getting married and dad cant even stop to listen to the fact that I was raped and now I'm fucking pregnant. I'm 15 years old and already a soon to be single mum!"
"Did you ever think of getting an abortio-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW JASPER HALE!"
He actually looked scared
"I,... uh,... sorry" he mumbled looking back down at the table.
"Whether I like it or not I am pregnant, it's not my choice to choose whether it lives or dies, and before you ask, no I'm not getting it adopted out".
"Okay" he sighed before yawning.
"You should go to bed" I said
He nodded before giving me a hug and walking to the stairs
"G'night Rose, I've missed you these past two years"
"Same here bro" I said smiling and giving a little wave.
I heard the thump of his feet as he made his way up the stairs to his old room. I waited for his door to close before breaking down into heart retching sobs
Fuck my life.
Ok, so if any of you are lost about the whole situation between Jazz and Rose don't worry things will get better to understand in the next chapter. I would now like to apologise for the long ass delay posting this chapter. I had a MASSIVE History assignment due as well as an english one I had to start work on and a whole lotta other crap.
