A / N : Fahhh ! No I know what's going on ! This is the chapter that was meant to be chapter 4 ! I have no idea what happened and I'm sorry ! Maan , LOLS .

Chapter 4. Rose's POV. Keeping the truth hidden.

Oh God, was all I could think. How could I be so stupid! I should have made sure Dimitri wasn't there before I walked out of that bathroom! I haven't told anyone and I planned on keeping it that way. I scolded myself all the way down to the kitchen where Maddy and Christian were eating KFC.

"Want some, fatty?" Christian asked me. I poked my tongue at him and sat down beside, also elbowing his ribs.

"Ow!" he cried, dropping the drumstick he was about to bite into. Maddie started giggling uncontrollable when I stole it and took a bite.

"Hey! I was about to eat that!" he complained. I rolled my eyes.

"There's still plenty more," I said, pointing to the full plate of chicken pieces.

"But I wanted that one," he whined.

"You're a sook, Chris," Maddie told him. She said it so matter-of-factly, I couldn't help laughing.

We were still eating when my mother walked in. Maddie let out an excited scream and ran over to her.

"Mummy! Did you hear me play when Lynette was here?" she asked.

"Yeah, I heard," she replied, getting a cup out of the cupboard.

"What did you think?" she said.

"Good. Rose, I'm not going to be here to drop Maddie off at school tomorrow, so can you take her?" she asked me. I sighed and nodded. It wasn't dropping her off at school that was the problem; it was that every time Maddie tried talking to her, she completely shrugged Maddie off or didn't answer her at all.

"Thank you," she said, filling her cup with cold water from the h2o cooler and walking back out.

"Did I do something to make Mummy mad?" Maddie asked us. My heart broke into a million tiny pieces.

"No. Mummy just has a lot of work to do," Christian pipped up. I was so sick of having to make up excuses for her. She's only seven years old, for God's sake! She doesn't know any better when it comes to fucked up parents!

"How long has it been since you've spoken to Mum?" I asked Christian.

"Few months," he shrugged. I knew that he put on a face and pretended like he didn't care. He did care. I also knew he was counting the days that he hadn't spoken to her. That tears me up because I know that she really couldn't care less about any of us. I throw the bone of Christian's stolen chicken drumstick on Maddie's plate.

"I'm going for a shower," I told my brother and sister. He stared at me.

"Aren't you going to have anything more to eat?"

"I'm not hungry," I replied and hurried up to my room. I closed the door and walked across the huge room over to the landline. I picked it up and dialled the number for Hawaii. I listened for the right option and punched in my Dad's number.

"Hello?" he answered. My heart skipped a couple of beats. This is the voice I live to hear. This is the voice I missed hearing every day.

"Daddy," I said.

"Rose? Is that you?" he replied. I burst into tears

"Yes," I said. My voice cracked but I didn't really care.

"I miss you so much!" I told him.

"I miss you and the kids heaps as well! I can't wait to see you again," he told me.

"How are you and Lana going?" I said.

"Oh Bubba. You won't believe it! Lana and I are expecting a baby!" he exclaimed.

"That's….. Great," I told him and hung up. I know that my parents will never get back together. For some time, though, I have been deluding myself thinking that they would. I felt my eyes fill with tears. I was disappointed and pissed off. I picked up my mobile and scrolled through the contacts. Dimitri. My heart stopped when I saw the contact listed underneath it. Drew. I clicked onto his name and selected the option to send him a text.

I h8 u 4 every bit of pain u put me thru! I kno 4 a fact that I didn't deserve any of it & I hope u burn in hell. It's over! Ur just a jerk & I can't believe it took my so long to realise that! If u eva try 2 contact me again, u won't know what hit u. I hit send and it wasn't long before I got a reply. That's fine with me! Ur nothing but a terrified little skank anyway!

I gripped the phone with frustration, crying even more. I wasn't a skank nor was I terrified. I fell asleep more messed up than ever.

Please review ! Happy Easter , really do hope you guys get lots off Eggs ! XD
