Chapter 3 -Beautiful

The next few days went by in haze, not because it was new and everything, I just was just there, almost like being a fly on the wall.

"Rose is something wrong?" Adrian asked me before English started. I giggled, the first time in a few days and it felt really good, normal, someone who I wanted to be.

"What is funny? Do I have something on my face?" Adrian grabbed a girl's compact mirror and starts looking at his face, which makes me laugh harder.

"No, no, Adrian, chill out, you just called me Rose and not Rosie for the first time, you actually seemed really worried. It was just… funny." I said catching my breath, man I really needed that laugh.

He frowned, "Well I am glad you find me caring about someone funny."

"No Adrian, I didn't mean it that way, I appreciate it, but just coming from you it was something I didn't expect, and I have not been sleeping the past few nights, so.. I am kinda sleep deprived." As I finished my thought I felt stupid so my voice dropped to a whisper.

With my whole little explanation all I got from Adrian was a simple "Why?" He gave me that look again, concern.

"Well... my parents and I were in a car accident about three weeks ago." I smiled but I knew that's not the way it looked. "My parents didn't make it, so now I have nightmares, so if I don't sleep then I don't get the nightmares, simple as that." I couldn't look at Adrian in fear I might start crying.

"Aww... Rosie, that is horrible, why didn't you tell the rest of us sooner? You acted like nothing happened in the past few weeks. "Then he got up from his desk and pulled me into a hug.

"Ugh, and that horrible name is back but thanks Adrian." I hugged him back.

The rest of the day came and went. I was so happy because today was Friday and we had Monday off so I had a long weekend.

I walked into my last class of the day hoping it was going to go back quick. I saw Andre sitting his usual set next to mine. My heart fluttered a little but shook it off because I didn't want myself to feel anything towards him, I hardly knew him.

I sat down in my chair. "Hey Rose." I turned and smile hoping he would get the hint I was not in the mood for talking.

"Umm… I hope you don't get mad at him or anything but uh, Adrian told all of us about your parents, and uh I am really sorry about it, and uh my offer about talking to someone still stands if you need it." He was turning red with each uh he said.

"Can you please stop saying uh… it's really annoying." Then I just looked away.

"You know Rose all I am doing is trying to help and you just keep pushing me away." He started to get angry, but that only fueled my fire.

"Well, I didn't ask for it, that is the reason I did not tell anyone because I don't want you sympathy I just want my parents back but sadly that will NEVER happen so if you will just leave me the hell alone." That's when I got up and walked out before class ever began. I needed out, now, the walls feel like they are closing in on me plus I didn't need to put up with this shit, I had too much on my plate as it was.

By the time I got out to the parking lot I realized that Christian drove us to school this morning and I didn't have a key to the car. I was not going to go back in a bug him with my problems so I just started walking.

It was only about four miles from the house, so it would give me plenty of time to think. Why did this have to happen to me, I was a pretty good kid, well... I mean I smarted off in class, got in couple of yelling fights and punched a girl once but I never did anything that bad. So why did I have to lose my parents.

It started to rain but I welcomed it because it hid my tears streaming down my face. All I kept thinking was it was my fault, my parents death was because of me, and my punishment was I got to live and suffer with the guilt. I started crying harder just as I got to a small park, I couldn't breathe anymore I needed to sit down.

I was there for almost an hour when a car pulled up next to the park. I figured it was Christian, and I was going to get a big speech on how this was irresponsible and could have gotten attacked or something, but I didn't care.

Footsteps approached me. "Rose.." That voice was not Christian, it was Andre. "Rose, I am really sorry I upset you, please, let me take you home and get you out of this rain, you're going to get sick." He walked over to me with an umbrella.

"No, I deserve to get sick, I don't deserve for you to be this nice to me." I turned away from him, I didn't want to see his face.

"Rose, don't give me this shit, just tell me why you feel this way, why do you keep pushing me away when I am just trying to help." I felt him sit next to me and put a jacket over my shoulders.

I started crying harder again. "Jus-st le-eav-e m-ee a-alone." I could hardly speak, between my crying and I was starting to get cold as well.

"NO, I am not going to leave you alone until you get your ass in the car so I can take you home, it's going to get dark soon." He sounded determined.

"No…" Before I could finish my thought, Andre picked me up and started walking towards the car, he closed the umbrella so now we both were soaking wet. I just gave in for now and nestled my head between his shoulder and neck.

He put me in the car, and walked around to the driver side and got in as well. But instead of starting the car and taking me home he just sat there and looked at me.

"Rose, I know this must be hard for you so talk to me, I can help with it. I know you think I don't understand but I lost my grandmother a few years ago, and we were very close. It was the hardest thing that happened to me thus far in my life."

I let out a long breath, so many things were going through my mind, do I want to tell him, what if I scare him away, I am going to be alone again… But I was willing to take the chance, I mean it can only get better from here right?

I let out a long breath. "Okay, you know about my parents and how they died right?" He nodded. "And you know I was in the car too and didn't get hurt at all?" He nodded again. "It was my fault… The accident.. I killed my parents." Tears started down my face again, Andre pulled my face up.

"Rose, you had nothing to do with the accident, a truck hit your families car."

"Yes, but I was arguing with my father and my mother was starting to get upset, if we were not fighting then he would have the truck and avoided the whole thing and I would still have my parents. So yes Andre, it is all my fault, I am just a screw up, and if you were smart you would just stay away from me. I told you why I act like this so can you please take me home now." I turned my body so that I was now facing the window.

I could feel Andre still looking at me. "Rose, you cannot blame yourself, it is not your fault, you had no idea that the truck would coming, you need to let the pressure off yourself." He grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I-I just ca-can't Andre, I-I mi-miss th-them so much." I was crying to the point where I could barely speak.

Andre pulled me into a hug. "Shh.. Rose I promise it will get better. I will make sure of it." He kissed the top of my head, and for the first time I did feel lighter, I was not carrying this huge weight on my shoulders anymore.

After I calmed down a little, Andre let me go and started off towards my house. When we reached it I thanked him and kissed him on the cheek.

"I cannot thank you enough, Andre, you a lifesaver."

He smiled, "What can I say, I really like you Rose, I want to help to, but for now go get some sleep we can talk later, text me when you wake up. You still have my number right?" I nodded and smiled

"Thanks again and I will, bye Andre."

"Goodbye Beautiful."

UGH! I love Andre! So what is going to happened next? Don't worry Dimitri fans he will be making his appearance very soon. Let the love triangle began or will he be too late? THANKS FOR READING!
