Rose woke up the next morning refreshed and ready to go. She had not been herself lately. She seemed to be getting up earlier and going to bed later. Not getting enough sleep shall we say for everything that she does in a day. She rolled over and looked at the clock. 5:45 wow I'm up early! She thought to herself. She jumped out of bed and began her morning routine. Ate some breakfast, brushed her teeth, and did her hair. Ever since things had changed over the last several months she had actually starting styling her hair in the morning which she had always hated to do but not so much anymore. She had defiantly changed and she only hoped to improve in the future.
Rose: Well, I'm off, I guess I'll be home around 9:00 am so don't worry and if you need to get a hold of me I have my cell.
Rose's Mom: All right honey, you know I always worry about you but I trust you so drive safely and call me if you need any help with directions I don't want you getting lost up there in the city.
Rose: I won't mom, I can find it but I will call if I do ok?
Rose's Mom: All right well off you go, don't want Britney to miss her plane.
Rose: Yea, she would not be happy with me if that happened. (giggles)
Rose drives to Britney's house and picks her up. They get Britney's luggage into the car and drive off. Not knowing of what is around the corner, hoping they can make it there without having to call Rose's mom for help.
Rose: Do you wanna hear some music?
Britney: Sure, you know I love music it's my life.
Rose: ok, my ipod should be down in my purse, can you reach it?
Britney: Yea, I'll get it out for you.
Rose plugs in the ipod and the girls rock out to their loud music in the car. Dancing and singing all the words to the songs.
Ring, Ring
Not noticing that Rose's phone is ringing they continue their party in the car.
Ring, Ring
Rose: Wait, I think I heard my phone, hold on. (Pause, Rose reaches for the phone) Yea, it's my phone all right.
Britney: Can't be too important it's just home.
Rose: Probably my little sister she calls me all the time I'll just let it go to voicemail and listen to it later. I don't want to hear her whine to me right now.
Britney: Yea, I know how that is…
The girls continue their way to the airport, finally arriving. The girls park and walk inside.
Britney: The plane doesn't take of for another 2 hours so we'll have to wait.
Rose: No worries, I don't have to work today so I can spend all day here if I wanted too.
Britney: Good thing, I wouldn't want to be stuck here all alone for two hours how boring would that be?
Rose: Yea, I couldn't live that way that is for sure! (Beep)
Britney: Is your phone talking to you again?
Rose: Yea, it likes to do that, well I better listen to the message my sis sent otherwise she'll call again and that would bug me to death!
Britney: Yea, we have time just do it shouldn't be too horrible.
Rose calls her voicemail and punches in the password. You have one unheard message, first unheard message sent today at 6:15 am. The words that Rose heard next would change her life forever. Rose, are you there? Pick up the phone we have an emergency you need to call us back immediately. Please call as soon as you get this message.
Britney: Rose what's wrong your face just turned dead white.
Rose: I'm scared, my mom just called and said there was an emergency, I hope everyone is all right. Britney I'm scared to call her back…
Britney: I hope everyone is all right too. Maybe it's your grandma or something? It can't be your mother she was just talking on the phone. You'd better call her back and see what's going on.
Rose: (frightened, dials the phone) Hello?
Rose's Mom is heard talking the background, Rose drops the phone on the ground and starts to cry. Britney comforts her hoping that it will help Rose cope with whatever she had just heard over the phone. Nothing could have prepared her for this, nothing in this universe, but this is the moment that fate had stepped in.
(Flashback)
Ace: All right I'll see you at 6:00 pm. This is going to be so fun. You and me hanging out at the arcade playing games and riding the go carts. You do you think is going to win mini golf?
Rose: Well from the last game we played I would say me, remember I got two holes in one the last game?
Ace: you're probably right your super good at mini golf. I have never seen someone get two in a row like you did.
Rose: yea, I guess I'm good, I try at least.
Ace: that's all you can do I guess…
Rose: So I'll see you at 6:00 pm
Ace: See you then!
Rose hangs up the phone line and lies on her bed. Thinking about all the wonderful things in her life she had at that very moment and the fantastic things to come in the future. She was so content to have such a great man in her life. He was truly everything in her eyes.
(Reality)
PA System: All MT Forest 121 flights are now boarding passengers please proceed to the gates. Again All MT Forest 121 flights are now boarding passengers please proceed to the gates.
Britney: well that's my flight and I have to go. Do you think you can tell me what's going on?
Rose just looked at her friend in dismay. How could she be leaving her at a time like this? A time in her life where everything seemed to be falling apart? She was the one person she needed so badly to be there for her and she had to fly half way around the world at this very moment? At possible the worst time in Rose's life. Rose could not stand it any longer, she let out a screeching cry.
Rose: I CAN'T TAKE THIS RIGHT NOW!
Britney: What do you mean Rose? Calm down your in a airport the authorities are going to have you arrested if you act like that.
Officer: Is everything all right here?
Britney: Yes officer, my friend is just going through some personal issues right now. Were very sorry if we are disturbing the other travelers around us.
Officer: Very well… let me know if I could be of any assistance to you ladies.
Britney: Thank you Officer.
Rose: (quietly) Thank you officer
PA system: All MT Forest 121 flights are now boarding passengers please proceed to the gates. Again this is your finally call All MT Forest 121 flights are now boarding passengers please proceed to the gates.
Britney: Rose I have to go, I just can't miss this flight.
Rose: Fine, just go…
Britney could not understand why her friend was acting this way. Yes, she knew something was wrong but Rose never shunned away at the chance to tell Britney what was going on in her life. Why was Rose pushing her away all of a sudden? Why did she act as if Britney was of no importance in her life anymore? Why did she talk about that boy more then talking about their friendship, their relationship? Could it had been that truly in her heart Rose knew nothing more then the love that came from the boy who gave her a whole new world and that Rose wanted nothing more in life then that? No that can't be it… Rose had always had her head on straight, when she had lost a guy before she moved on like it was no big deal, she found a new guy weeks later. Why then is this break up so different? Why then does she want so badly to be with someone who had broken her heart? Though Britney did not know the answer to this she knew one thing Rose needed some support from someone and if she didn't get it quick she would fall into the deep trap of depression that she had once been in so long ago and shut the world out entirely.
Rose thinking: His love is all I know…
