Rosie woke the next morning more rested than she had ever felt in her life. By her side, she saw Grell sleeping peacefully, a small smile on his face. Rosie carefully wriggled out of Grell's arms; not because she wanted to, but because she had to get ready for school. Grell shifted slightly, but did nothing more as Rosie carefully closed the door.

"Hey, Rosie!" Ginger called as Rosie walked into the schoolyard.

"Hey, Ginger!" Rosie cheered.

"Well, you're more cheerful than usual." Ginger smirked. Rosie chuckled.

"You don't even know!" Ginger grinned.

"You gonna tell me what happened?" Ginger leaned into Rosie's face. Rosie blushed at the memory of Grell's kiss, which also happened to be Rosie's first kiss. "Did something good happen?"

"Yeah," Rosie nodded. "But I'm making you guess."

"Aw, man!" Ginger sighed. "Alright, alright. Hmm… It had something to do with Grell?"

"How'd you know?" Rosie blinked.

"Lucky guess." Ginger sang. "So, what happened?"

"Alright, I'll…" The bell rang. "Tell you later!"

"Oh, come on!" Ginger cried in frustration as Rosie ran off.

"Hey, Rosie." Ryan, a friend of Robert and James, came up behind her at the end of the day.

"Yeah?" Rosie turned around. "Oh God. Don't tell me you're here to lie and slash or beat me up, are you?"

"I'm not." Ryan raised his hands in defense. "I swear. I was just wondering if you'd like to… um… go… to the movies with me sometime?"

"As friends?" Rosie asked.

"S-Sure." Ryan blushed.

"Okay." Rosie shrugged, not seeing any harm with going to see a movie with Ryan. "Which movie?"

"The Hunger Games?" Ryan suggested.

"Oh hell yeah!" Rosie grinned. "I love that movie!"

"See you tomorrow then?" Ryan asked.

"Sure thing!" Rosie nodded. "I'll meet you at the theater, okay?"

"Sure." Ryan smiled. "See you there."

"Will do!" Rosie began her walk home as Ryan walked away, unknown to either of them, that someone had been watching.

"Grell!" Rosie called as she walked in the door. "I'm home!" No response. Looking around, Rosie saw a note on the kitchen table.

Rosie, the note read I need to take care of something. I'll be home soon. Love, Grell.

"At least he was kind enough to leave a note." Rosie smiled, crumpled up the note, and threw it away. Since it was Friday, Rosie didn't worry about her homework as much as she had anticipated, and took a nap on the couch.

When Rosie next awoke, she felt as though she were lying on top of something. Looking up, she saw Grell smiling down at her. "Good morning." He purred, stroking her hair.

"Hi, Grell." Rosie smiled and laid her head back down on Grell's chest, going back to sleep.

"Where is he?" Rosie worried asked herself as she looked around for Ryan at the theater the next evening. It was thirty minutes past their meeting time. "Gah… I knew I shouldn't have trusted him." Rosie sighed, and began walking home.

"How did it go?" Grell asked as Rosie walked inside, in tears.

"I hate boys." She sniffed. Grell frowned, wrapping his arms around her.

"You don't hate me, do you?" Grell asked.

"No." Rosie buried her face in Grell's chest.

"Want to tell me what happened?" He asked, holding her tighter.

"Ryan didn't show up." Rosie sighed. "I'm overreacting again aren't I?"

"No, dear." Grell smiled. "You're not…" he paused. "I'm sorry, love."

"It's okay." Rosie forced a smile for Grell's sake. "It's not your fault."

-Earlier: Saturday Night-

"Oh boy!" Ryan was 'pumped up' because it was his first date, and with the girl he had admired no less! He turned around excitedly as he felt a tap on his shoulder, but it didn't dull his spirits as he saw the red-headed man, or woman, it didn't matter to Ryan, looking at him with angry eyes. "May I help you?" Ryan asked, confused at this individual.

"Yes." The voice was more masculine than feminine, so Ryan decided they were a man. "You can help, by staying away from my rose."

"Uh… Sorry?" Ryan asked. "I'm not sure what you're talking about, friend." 'Friend' was put in at the last second, as he didn't want to accidentally offend this man.

"You know what I'm talking about!" The man snapped. "You stay away from my Rosie!"

"Huh?" Ryan blinked. 'Rosie has a boyfriend?' he thought sadly, as he felt all chances with Rosie were gone. "O-Oh, you mean Rosie Eason?"

"Yes!" The man growled. Making sure no one else was around the dimly lit street, the man shoved Ryan against the brick wall, holding him by the collar.

"Hey!" Ryan yelped, now shivering in fear. "What the hell?"

"She's mine!" Grell cried. "You stay away from her if you know what's good for you!"

"But, she's my friend!" Ryan cried, practically begging the man to let go. "And… I love her!" Big mistake. The man threw Ryan onto the ground, and took out a chainsaw. "No!" Ryan cried. "Let me go! I swear, I'll do whatever you want! You-You can take my wallet! I don't need it, honest!" The man grinned, revealing two rows of unbelievably sharp teeth.

"I have no need for your petty money." The man grinned, the chainsaw revving as he raised it above his head. "I'm just making sure my Rosie is safe from those who don't deserve her!"

A/N: Man, Grell's on the crazy train isn't he? Hope you enjoyed and sorry for the late update.
