AN:/ What happens in this chapter is crucial to the Rose/Jake/Trixie 'Love Triangle' (I'm not even sure if that's the right word for it lol) this entire chapter will be devoted to the reason that Rose and Trixie hate each other and it will give you a very oblivious clue of how Rose will react to her. Now I want to set this setting up in this beginning note, Rose and Jake are seventeen years old and this is the night that Alyssa is conceived. So if you do the math this is nine months before Anything and Everything 'Beginning' I hope you'll like it.

And don't worry about it; the showdown happens in the next chapter.

Chapter 36

Don't test your theory with me, it'll hurt you.

She looked great, as she did normally. Jake had always told her that she could put on twenty pounds and wear her hair in curlers and she'd always turn the eyes of all the men she passed by, and some of the women to but that was another story. It was winter in New York City, and tonight was the one night that Jake and her were free from their responsibilities, Rose on the hand was looking forward to this and on the other dreading it, for two reasons really.

Earlier that day, Trixie Carter, one of Jake's friends had called her and talked to her and what she had said shocked her greatly. All day, Jake had been complaining and worrying about their date tonight, and that he had told Spud who had told her that he wanted tonight to be his first time with Rose. When she heard that come from Trixie, she laughed, but it wasn't an amused laugh, it was a nervous laugh that was forced out be anxiety.

She had told him that she herself was a virgin, but that wasn't true, and she'd liked to have forgotten her actual first time. And tonight if thing worked out like she wanted them to go and how Jake wanted them to go, then she would forget about …that… and just save Jake as her first. But in the mean time she had to deal with Trixie. "What do you want? I'm already late to meet him."

The woman had actually had the nerve to invite her over to her house for a little chat, Rose supposed they would be in private, from what Jake had told of Trixie her mother was either a flight attendant or pilot she was only half listening.

"Where the hell do you think you going out in the getup?" Trixie questioned.

Rose chuckled and her eyebrows rose so for up that they seemed to meet at her forehead. "Well Mom, I plan to go out with my boyfriend tonight."

"You seem to be anticipating something." It was a statement, not a question.

Shrugging, Rose grinned. "And why do you give a damn?"

"He's my best friend," Trixie stated. "I do give a damn for his feelings."

That offended Rose, to her it sounded as if Trixie had implied that she didn't give a damn about Jake and the was completely false, to the contrary she actually adored everything about him. Rose, being Rose, wanted retaliation and there was only one way to do that. "Do you think these leather pants are too much, cause' the sex is to happen at the end of the date, and if I just show off all night then I have a feeling that I won't be able to walk tomorrow."

"You think your just hot shit don't you?" An enraged and uncomfortable Trixie asked the gloating woman standing in her living room.

Rose looked down at herself, for a moment of narcissism she did even excite herself. This was her magic combination, the combination of clothes that she wore when she wanted Male attention and it hadn't failed her once, wearing the sensual combination of black leather knee-high boots and black leather pants, she topped the ensemble off with a black strapless top. All black, the magic combination. "Well I'd say from what I'm wearing and from what you are I think if I'm not hotshot then you certainly aren't, so stop talking shit honey and tell me what you want so I can go on my date with Jake."

"I'm telling you not to go and fuck him the first chance you get." Trixie stated.

Scoffing, Rose put her hands on her hips and looked at the other girl incredulously. "Then why did you call me and tell me about what he said?"

"I just thought you should know I guess," Trixie shrugged weakly trying to keep the words that she really wanted to say in. "Look please, for me, don't do it."

"Look two things," Rose narrowed her eyes. "Number one, I don't know you, you are not my friend and I don't owe you anything, and Number two, if I want to fuck Jake into the early morning, I plan on doing it, and you can't stop me…"

That seemed to set something inside of Trixie off, she stood up from the couch and came face to face with Rose. She just wanted to beat the hell out of the girl, but she was smart enough to know that it wouldn't end well, for her anyway.

"I'm warning you," Trixie seethed. "Don't you hurt Jake, or you deal with me."

Rose smirked smugly. "A bullet sounds the same in every part of the world, and if you try to get between me and Jake then I'll take you to some distant part of the world and test my little hypothesis and you know I'll pull some strings and the plane that we take to that distant part of the world will be one your mom will fly, you know insult to injury, or in your case it'll be death…"

"You're fucking crazy." The other girl hissed in disgust.

Snorting, she let out something of a psychotic school girl's laugh. "You're damn right, that's how much I love Jake, and it doesn't take the smartest bitch on the block to tell that you're love with him, but you're too late, he is mine and if you try to drive a wedge between us, I will find you and kill you…"

"Then Jake will kill you." Trixie said not believing it for a second.

"You think so? I doubt it, maybe if I killed his sister or something, but not you, sure he'd be pissed, but he wouldn't kill me, and as if he could anyway," Rose said almost to herself as a passing memory fell into her mind's eye. "I will be watching you Trixie, I'm not going to tell Jake to stay away from you because he's your friend and that's cruel not that threatening to kill you isn't cruel, but if you slip up and tell him how you feel, I will be ready to pounce-"

Trixie couldn't believe what she was hearing. "And what will you do next?"

"Oh, kill you," She said with a serious face. "Then maybe I'll go after your mother, oh what do you suggest, drug her and cause her to nose dive into a big city like Paris? or Rome? Killing thousands, you know pilot error…"

"Why you bitch!" Trixie growled and bringing her hand up to try and slap her.

But Rose, with the reflexes of lighting and the strength of the Huntsgirl saw it coming and she quickly caught Trixie's arm and twisted it with the strength of her bare hand, a pained and unexpected scream came from Trixie as she realized her mistake. "You better understand that when I make a threat, I never let up, and I never forget about said threats, tread on thin ice with me."

Then with disgust, she tossed the arm back at the side of its owner and spun on her heel towards the door. "You'll break, you'll fuck up and lose him mark my words!"

"Don't test your theory with me," Rose stopped turned and tossed her hair over her shoulder and with a smug wink she smiled. "It'll hurt less when it fails."


AN:/ Again this is a short chapter, did I make Rose too much of a psycho bitch? I'm glad I did, that's what I wanted. Anyway tell me what you think and how Rose and Trixie will react to each other, and you're lucky, there'll be another update this weekend! And it's the big one, cannot wait for you to read it.

If you would be so kind as to leave me a review.
