It is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels!
Rose POV
"Gul, sen nerede?" (Rose, where are you?) It was the same voice that always called me. Who the hell was that? God, I wish I knew! But now was not the time to dwell on it, I needed to get away. I wouldn't be able to hide in a dress stand forever. Taking a deep breath I bolted from the stand and down the crowded street. Dodging and weaving my way through crowds of people, jumping over boxes and crates, trying my hardest to get away from whomever it was chasing me.
One of the good things about being a kid was that I was small, and fast. And if someone saw a grown up chasing a kid, they tend to try and help the kid. And that's what came in handy. "Burada cocuk! " (Kid, in here) I heard, just as a door opened into a building, showing an older woman with a flowery apron on. Without even thinking I ran inside and ran to the open pantry door and curled up in a tiny ball in the corner.
"What is your name kucuk kiz?" the woman asks me, kneeling down to look at me. She looked nice, not like my mommy, she was mean to me.
"Rose. Rose Mazur"
Just like that I was awake. Bracing myself, I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to have a head ache, or feel achy or something, but I didn't. I felt fine. Like nothing happened. But of course, that was too good to be true. When I went to sit up and pull my blanket off me, I saw that my hands had bandages around the knuckles. Who brought me to bed? I closed my eyes and thought. I remember beating the hell out of Sydney, which felt REALLY good, by the way, and then….strong arms grabbing me, and whispering in my ear. "Roza" that voice, it was the one that made me melt just listening to it. It was Dimitri. Smiling to myself I got out of bed and looked around. At the end of my bed was a messy mop of red hair that could only belong to one person and on my bed next to where I had slept was a matching blonde messy head of hair. I know I should be nice to them since they stayed the night with me, but I couldn't help it. I climbed on my bed and started jumping. "Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!" I shouted in a happy sing song voice, and then laughed when my life long best friend threw a pillow at me.
"Fine, I will let you sleep, but only if you tell me where my phone is." I told Lissa as I plopped down on the bed. I remember putting it in my jeans pocket, but for some reason I am not in my jeans. I'm in shorts. Hmm I wonder who changed me.
"I don't know, ask Dimitri. He was passed out in your mom's room when I came to bed." She mumbled, before pulling the pillow over her head and going back to sleep. He was passed out in my mom's room? He stayed over too? Smiling to myself I got out of bed and walked down the hall to my mother's room. It was smaller than mine but big enough to hold a full size bed and dresser. I had gotten the master bath, seeing as Janine was never home to enjoy the bigger room.
Slowly pushing the door open I smiled at what I saw. Dimitri was indeed passed out, sprawled sideways with his long legs hanging over the side. He was still fully dressed, and on the night stand were my car keys and my phone. I REALLY hope I didn't get any messages when he had my phone. That would be weird.
Walking softly over to the bed I untied his shoes and pulled them off setting them next to the bed and pulled a blanket from the closet and covered him up. Than as an afterthought I reached over and oh so gently pulled the tie from his hair. I knew that whenever I fell asleep with my hair in a ponytail woke up with a head ache. After one last look at him I grabbed my phone and snuck out of the room.
When I was out of the room and the door was closed, I looked at my phone. It was dead. Sighing I walked to my room, smiling at the stickers that littered my door; I went and plugged it into the charger and changed into some shorts with back pockets and put on some sneakers and grabbed my iPod. I knew that down stairs had to be a mess and there would be one hell of a cleanup. I plan on making my friends help me clean, but for now I will let them sleep.
*12:00 PM*
"LISSA, MASON, DIMITRI! GET UP!" I yelled up the stairs, I had been cleaning for the last 3 hours, and had only managed to get the back yard done. That was, of course, after I woke up and kicked everyone out that had passed out around the house. When I didn't hear anything from upstairs I let out a sigh, and stomped up the stairs.
I pushed the door to my room open and saw my 2 best friends still passed out on my bed. So what did I do? I pulled open the blinds and yanked off the blanket. "Get your ass's up lazy bitches. If you are not up when I get back in here, I will shave your heads." I threatened over their groans and complaints, before turning and walking to my mother's room. Where I did the same thing to Dimitri. "Up" I told him, which he reluctantly did. "Bathroom is down the hall, shower if you need to. But make it fast, you and the lazy bitches in my room are helping clean." I told him before going back to my room.
The blanket was back on the bed and they were both still sleeping. So I went to the bathroom and grabbed my scissors and walked back in the room snapping them open and closed. "So who is first for a morning hair cut? Cheerleader Barbie, or Carrot top?" I ask them pulling the blanket off again. I really would never cut their hair but I knew that it would get them up.
As I got closer to them, Lissa opened her eyes and saw me, than squealed like a girl and jumped off the bed. Behind me I heard a low chuckle and turned to see Dimitri standing there, leaning against the doorframe, hands crossed over his chest laughing. "Get your ass up Mase, now. Since you 3 are here, you are helping Me." tossing the scissors on the nightstand I picked up my phone and saw that I had an Email.
Dear Kit,
So I have no idea if you were still at the party or not last night, but Rose Hathaway got drunk and got into a fight. I wish I could say that I was shocked, but I really am not. It was kind of good to see that she is not the emotionless Barbie that everyone makes her out to be.
I mean, beating the hell out of the woman that stole her boyfriend? Kind of epic really. In a teen drama movie kind of way but still. He was an asshole anyway. He used to hit on my sister, until I threatened to kick his teeth in. I wonder what Rose saw in him. Oh well. Guess she is moving on to bigger and better things.
Now, enough about her. How are you? Did you have fun at the bon fire? What about the party after? I am so glad that we are emailing now, I don't think I could go a full weekend without talking to you. Well I should say goodbye for now, I am nearly falling asleep.
Until next time
Penn.
Smiling to myself I threw myself on my bed and hugged my phone. No matter how bad my day is going, or what I am doing, getting a letter/email/IM from Penn always made me smile. I think I am really starting to like this guy. Who would have thought?
"Who was that? Your new boyfriend?" Mason ask, propping himself up on the bed to look at me. It seems that he is finally getting up. "Do tell us Rosie Poise" he added laughing. Well at least he was until I kicked him off the bed. Then it was the rest of us who was laughing.
"Ok, enough of the girly teen drama shit, we have to clean. Down stairs is trashed." I said, getting up and putting my phone in my pocket and leading the way down stairs. Just as I got to the bottom step the doorbell rang. "Come in!" I called, walking over to the box of trash bags I had set on the stereo.
The girl who walked in looked to be a soft more, with brown hair and eyes. "Uh, hey, I am Hollie; I think I left my phone here. My boyfriend said he tried to call, and I realized that I didn't have it." She said laughing as she ran her hand though her hair.
"Well you are more than welcome to take a look for it, but only if you help with clean up. I don't think those 2 are going to be much help" was my reply as I handed her a trash bag.
*5 hours later*
"Done! Can I go home now? I want to go to bed!" Lissa called from the kitchen. She and mason had been doing that room while I had the living room, and Dimitri did the dining room, well at least till he had to leave to go to work. Hollie had stayed and helped me with the front yard, even after she found her phone. Which somehow ended up in the dish washer. It had taken us all nearly 5 hours to clean the house to how it was, well it probably would have only been half that if we hadn't been messing around with each other most of the time. But hey, it got done right?
"Fine, go. I was going to order pizza and movies. But if you want to go home, fine." I called out as I opened the door to take the last bag of trash to the ben. There had to be at least 8 bags of trash. Thankfully Brad pulled up at that moment with his truck. "Thank you brad!" I called as he and his friend started to toss the bags and the empty kegs into the back. They were taking them somewhere to get rid of them.
"How long is your mom going to be gone?" Mason asks from the couch as I closed the door. He knew how much I hated being in the house by myself, so either he, Eddie, Lissa or Andre always stayed with me while mom was gone. Most times all of them together.
"Two weeks. Spain this time." I told him sitting next to him and putting my head in his lap. We lay there for a couple minutes before Lissa walked down from upstairs, in a pair of my pajama bottoms. Guess they were staying the night. Thinking about night made me remember my dreams and I shivered. What do they mean? "Hey guys, I….I had that dream again. Only it was different this time." Sitting up I looked at them.
They were the only ones that I told about my dreams, knowing that they would understand. Granted Lissa was the only person in the world I would trust with EVERY ONE of my secrets, I trusted Mase with most of them. So playing with the hem of my shirt I told them about what I dreamt that morning.
When I told them about me calling myself Rose Mazur, they were confused. Since that was not my name. "Have you talked to your mom about it? Maybe Mazur means something to her." Lissa suggested which made me snort. I asking my mother for anything was like pulling teeth.
"Liss, have you met my mother? I would have an easier time asking God to make me an angel." I told her, before getting up and getting my laptop from the desk by the window. "Lissa want to order some Pizza? I am going to look up that name and see if I get anything." I told her tossing her my phone.
"Ok, but let me ask you something. Who is Penn? Hmm? 'Kit, I hope that you are alright, I haven't heard from you all day and I worry. Let me know, please' Kit? As in Kit-Kat? God no one has called you that since middle school." Lissa laughed as I launched myself at her to get my phone, my face as read at the flower of my name sake.
"Lissa! Give me my phone!" I yelled as I fought it away from her, once I had it back in my hands I bolted up to my room and locked the door. Laying on my bed I send a quick message back. "I am just fine Penn, sorry for being MIA all day, been cleaning and hanging with my friends." Smiling hugely I took a deep breath before walking to the door and calling down that I was going to take a shower and to order pizza. My wallet was down there and I knew Liss would take the money from there. I had just turned the shower on when my phone buzzed in my hand. "Well, it's good to know your still in the land of the living Kit, I thought I was going to have to brake in a new pen pal LOL" yup, most defiantly getting a crush on this guy. I cannot wait for this freaking year to be up so I can meet him. "Nope, can't get rid of me that easy Penny ol' boy. You're stuck with me. :P" after that was sent, I put my phone on the counter and hopped in the shower to get ready for a lazy movie night in with my best friends.
A/N whoot! Another chapter out! What did you think? Like that Rose and Dimitri are becoming friends? I have been in a super good mood all day so I figured why not make all of my loverly readers in a good mood too?
Anyway I must go to bed now, so you know what to do, Read Review, and send in idea's. oh and guess the quote at the top. I will give another hint. It is from a movie. xD
