Thank you to Jasmine once again! (Also, don't worry about the name thing, Jasmine, I'm just like "What are you doing?") Here's chapter 14!

14

"Would Miss Eason please come to the front of the room?" The teacher, Mr. Rother, asked. Rosie stood and walked to the front of room. She turned around and looked at the class. Most students weren't paying any attention, but there was one very familiar face. 'Ciel?' Rosie blinked as Ciel stared intently at her.

"Rosie Eason." Rosie stated, even though no one took notice. Mr. Rother sighed.

"Sorry, Rosie." He frowned. "This bunch doesn't really pay attention to new kids."

"It's alright." Rosie smiled at Ciel, who smirked back as Rosie returned to her seat.

"Alright guys!" Mr. Rother called. Rosie noted that he seemed laid back. "Time for our test on the Cold War." A chorus of groans rang out. "Ciel and Rosie, you guys can do something quietly while the rest of us take the test." Rosie nodded.

Rosie didn't do anything notable for the duration of the test. She did notice Ciel staring at her for the rest of the class period. As the school got out for the day, Ciel stopped Rosie as she reached the parking lot. She turned around. "What do you want?"

"Why did you start that fire?" Ciel demanded.

"I hated them." Rosie stated plainly. "I wanted them all to hurt."

"Ginger was hurt." Ciel explained. "And you don't care for her well being?"

"Not anymore." Rosie frowned turning away.

"Wait." Ciel appeared in front of Rosie.

"What the fuck do you want?" Rosie hissed. "An apology? Because you're not getting one!"

"I don't need an apology!" Ciel yelled, catching the attention of some nearby students.

"Hey!" One called. "The new kids are fighting!"

"Do you think they're dating?" A girl inquired to her friend. "Because that one with the eye patch is pretty cute."

"Then what do you need?" Rosie barked.

"I need to know you'll be safe." Ciel frowned. Rosie stood in shock as Ciel pressed his lips against hers.

"Aw man…" Rosie's eyes widened as Ciel pulled away.

"I…" She stuttered. "I need to go." Rosie ran home before Ciel could say or do anything more.

Rosie frowned as she sat on her bed. If Grell knew about the kiss, God only knows what he would do now. She stiffened as Grell opened her door.

"Rosie?" Grell smiled at her.

"O-Oh… Hi, Grell." Rosie stuttered. Grell frowned, sitting next to Rosie, gently taking her hand in his.

"What's wrong, darling?" He asked.

"Er…" Rosie paused. "Nothing."

"Are you sure?" Grell pressed further.

"Yeah…"

"Alright." Grell smiled after a pause. He gently kissed Rosie's hand, then softly laid Rosie's head in his lap, stroking her hair. "You know I love you, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "I love you too." Rosie frowned. Grell's actions weren't very comforting, and had only succeeded in causing more guilt in Rosie.

"Are you sure everything's alright?" Grell asked. "I just want to know what's bothering my princess."

"I'm… I'm fine." Rosie's statement was more to herself than Grell.

"You don't sound fine." Grell gently lifted Rosie's head so that she would look at him. Grell gasped as he saw Rosie was crying. "What's the matter, sweetheart?" Grell asked, pressing Rosie's head to his chest.

"I'm sorry, Grell." Rosie whimpered. "I'm so sorry."

"For what?" Grell asked.

"Ciel…" Rosie tried to explain. "He… He kissed me… and I…" She sniffled. "I didn't try to stop him. I'm so sorry, Grell." Grell frowned. 'It seems I need to take care of that demon sooner than I thought.' He thought.

"It's okay, darling." Grell comforted. Rosie looked up.

"You… You're not mad at me?" She was slightly confused.

"No… not at you." Grell smiled.

"Ciel, then?" Rosie asked.

"Only him." Grell comforted. "Don't worry. I'm not blaming you for anything."

"Are you sure?" Grell softly stroked Rosie's hair.

"I'm sure." Grell nodded. "I'll make sure he won't bother you again. I promise." Rosie frowned at what that could imply.

"Alright." She hesitantly nodded.

A/N: AAAAAAAHHH! So sorry for the wait and short chapter. I procrastinate too much. In attempt to make up for this, I'll extend the story to 25 chapters instead of the original 20 I had planned. Please forgive me! (Also, Happy New Year!)
