Oh holy night played, as the family drank eggnog, with Few visitors Aunt Julie and Uncle Hank, Their baby. The Colonel and Grandma. Lucy and Bryant, Mary and few other friends from the church. They all were Laughing, Rose sat on the couch with Simon they looked through a picture album and laughed at Simon pictures. The lights were dimmed and the Christmas lights flickered on the pictures of Simon and Ruthie with their Dog happy, in the Album. Madison and Robby walked through the hallway, under the missile tow. "Ohhh, Missile Tow." The all said with excitement. Madison Blushed, and Robbie raised his brow, and leaned his head and gently kissed Madison, she pulled back smiled. Simon turned from the pictures and looked at Rose, "I'm Glad you're Here" Simon Smiled. "Me too" Rose looked at him, she almost started getting teary eyed. "What's wrong" Simon looked deeper into her eyes, he could always tell when something was wrong. She looked back up at him, and her lips started to trembled. He took her Hand, and led her out into the dining room. She looked up at him with questioning eyes.
"I Love you" Simon said scared yet happy. Rose started to feel dizzy, but it wasn't a sick dizzy it was a daze dizzy. She was overwhelmed, she hasn't her the word Love in so long it was hard for her to realize what Simon had just said. Simon got discouraged as if, she didn't want him to love her. "I'm Sorry" Simon started to Frown.
"No I'm Sorry" Rose hugged him, and started to Cry. Simon grasped her. "I Love you too" Rose whispered in his ear. "I Love you, So much Simon" Rose closed her eyes and took it all in. the sound of the phone ringing blurred, as Simon and Rose were still embraced.
"Rose, Madison, Logan theirs a phone call for you" Annie said as she lowered the volume of the Cd player. Rose pulled away from Simon her eyes were soaked with tears but she was happy. She wiped her eyes and Simon's, "I got to get that" Rose sniffled. Rose walked to kitchen, trying to hide that she was crying, Madison held the phone and Logan was standing next to her in the Kitchen,
"Yes, this is Madison" Madison glanced at Logan. "Dad?" "Is it Really you" Madison opened her mouth wide. Logan and ran to Madison and tried to listen, Rose stood there trying to think of what she should say to her father, the Father that cheated on her mother, who drove her to depression and practically caused her death. Tears came suddenly to Rose. And Anger rose in her heart.
"Dad where are you" Madison asked, she wasn't used to saying Dad, to anyone. It was all so bazaar to her and Logan. But to Rose, she dreamed of this moment the moment when she would talk to her father, ask why he did all those things to them and there mother. Rose sunk into the thought and didn't realize, Madison had the phone sitting right in front of her face. She looked at the touch tone portable phone,
"Here, Rose its Dad" Madison pushed the phone to her ear, Roses voice started to shake, "Hello" Rose said, afraid he wouldn't answer, "Hi Sweetie" Roses Father, that man she barely knew greeted her. "How are you" her said with such a warm voice. Rose couldn't say anything, she just sniffled. "Rose are you there" the man on the other line said. "yes" Rose put on a fake smile. "How's your aunt and uncle" he said, by this time he was already discouraged.
"Well lets , see yeah, everything's Great Dad, Uncle Dan a freaking Drunk, her beat Aunt Callie and she's in the Hospital. I've had to live without mother for 3 years and without father for 5. Yeah but everything's just great, The only Good thing in my life is the Camdens and Simon who I Love, and Madison and Logan. There the only people that love me. But you wouldn't know that because you haven't been around while all this was going on." By this time Rose was crying she threw the phone on the counter and ran up the stairs. Simon ran after her she fell walking up the stairs and laid there crying, "I hate him, I hate him" she screamed. Simon lifted her off the ground and held her in his arms. Logan came running up the stairs. He came and hugged her. And then after a few minutes Madison came.
"Stop it, Stop it" Madison screamed at Rose. Rose shut her eyes at looked up at Madison face, "You got to Stop it, Right Now" Madison knelt beside her. Rose started to get scared and thought why was Madison, screaming at her. "you have people that Love you, there's no reason for you be like this, so what Dad left us, he never cared about us anyway. Stop trying to bring mom back its not going to work by getting mad at Dad."
Madison said loudly but when talked about her mom she broke down in tears. Rose hugged her so hard there was a new understanding between them. Between all of them, they could live without there dad they could let it go.
