January 25th, 2012-

Yellow roses meant friendship.

Not love, compassion or faith, but friendship.

Is that what we were? Just friends? Is that all?

I looked over at the yellow roses sitting in the vase across from me. Why did I get these from Iggy? I thought we weren't just friends, but something better. Something like in love, maybe.

Red roses would have worked. Don't they mean love and compassion? Those would have been perfect.

Was this his way of telling me that he didn't want to be together with me anymore? Is this really how he felt about me?

This was almost like him saying, "I think we should just be friends." Well, if that's how he feels, maybe we should be just friends.

Max, get a grip! You can't drown in your sorrow, if he wants you to be just friends, then that's what he wants. You have to deal with it, and find yourself something else! He's probably with some girl now. Let him go. He obviously didn't have the guts to tell you that he didn't love you anymore. Tell him you don't either, it'll show that you aren't going to look weak and cry like you want to.

That's right, I would tell him. I needed to be strong. As I left the room, I took a deep breath and prepared myself to find him.

And he was at the front door. With another girl.

At that point, I was fuming. He was holding a bunch of lavender roses, which he was probably going to give to her. Iggy was already with another girl! Already over me and through. I guess he and that girl weren't just friends.

Iggy gave the girl money, probably as a token of his love or something and then turned me, holding the roses. "Hey, Maxie," He greeted, holding out the roses. "These are for you."

"Another sign of your friendship?" I spat and turned away.

"What? These are a sign of my love, I guess. The funny thing about lavender roses is that-"

"Yeah, and the funny thing about yellow roses is that you're admitting that you don't want to be with me."

"Oh, yeah. Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't mean to send you the yellow roses. I actually thought they were meant to resemble happiness and warmth or something, but then I was told that they meant friendship, so I ended up getting you these."

"...Really?"

He nodded as I turned to him. "Well, thanks I guess. I think I might have overreacted."

"Yes. Yes you did." I glared at the blind bird kid.

"Thanks anyway for the roses. What do these mean?"

"Um, love at first sight, enchantment, love and adoration." He wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "And it means royalty, your majesty, for you are my queen."
