A/N: Not that this has much to do with any of the stories, I just felt the need to share because I'm muchos excited: I'm going to be going to FIT (for free) to take up classes for a job as a designers assistant. I'm going to be REALLY busy. I already go to school for massage therapy, so doing fashion school + my 9-5, updates may vary.
On another note: here's the real chapter. Sorry for the confusion.
Carter was the first to awake and noticed Rosie was still asleep. She smiled as she pulled Rosie's body closer to hers and snuggled into her body heat. The sudden movement made her stir but didn't wake her. Is this really what best friends do? I never had a girl as a best friend, but I'm pretty sure just friends don't do this. Carter hugged her tighter and kissed her on the forehead.
A smile crept across her face as her eyes fluttered opened. "Do you always kiss me in my sleep?"
Carter smiled, and turned a shade of red. "No."
Rosie nuzzled beneathe Carter's chin. "I wouldn't care if you did." she said with a huge smile, and gently kissed her throat.
Carter swallowed hard. "So, um... how 'bout that movie?" she asked nervously.
"Mmmm..." she nodded and continued to hold on to Carter as she was trying to untangle herself from Rosie's limbs.
Carter stumbled out of the bed and walked played the DVD. "I'll play the new one first, so you're not too disappointed that they changed it a tad bit."
They watched the movie in a comfortable silence. Carter's arm was wrapped around Rosie with their fingers laced together and Rosie's lips resting on Carter's index finger. A burst of excitement flowed through Carter and pulled Rosie in even closer, and a smile spread across Rosie's face.
"What was that for?" Rosie chuckled.
"I don't know. Just happy I guess."
"You guess?" Rosie turned and faced her. "You should know."
"I know I'm happy."
Rosie smiled, but was quickly inturrupted by the movie. She jerked her body in a panic to find the remote and practically landed on her face.
Carter shot up from the bed. "You okay?"
Tears streamed down Rosie's face as she tried to make the remote work. In a panic, she violently threw the remote into the t.v., shattering the screen and embedding the remote inside of her flat screen. Rosie clawed at her face and began to cry in histerics on the floor.
Carter pieced it together and joined Rosie on the floor. "Rosie?" she whispered and wrapped her arms around her waist. Without looking up, Rosie latched onto Carter's neck.
Carter laid uncomfortablly on the floor in Rosie's vice grip for a good hour before Rosie finally calmed down and was able to process words. "S-sorry." she said into Carter's chest.
"Don't be." Carter smiled. "I like being close to you." There was a long pause with Rosie sniffling in between. "Do you mind talking about it?"
Rosie shook her head. "M-my mom's ex boy friend, now ex boy friend." she took in a deep breath. "I was six." Carter gulped as a tear ran down her cheek as she stared up at the cieling. "He would come into my room at night and he would..." she coughed, and Carter tightened her grip. "It hurt so much. I hated him..." she cried. "I hated myself. After a few months," More tears began to stream silently down Carter's face. "I hated myself, I started to like it." she began to cry in hysterics once more into Carter's chest. She was silent. Angry. Hurt. She felt completely helpless. "Don't tell." she repeated over and over, and all Carter was able to do was nod.
After a few hours of silence, and with Rosie completely calmed down, Carter finally spoke. "What are we going to do about that t.v.?"
Rosie laughed. "Let's just listen to the radio."
oOoOo
Carter and Rosie were completely dressed for the fund raiser. For the first time in years, Carter was in make up other than black eyeliner and her hair was done up as if she was going to prom. Rosie smiled and looked over at the very done up Carter. "You look amazing."
"Thanks." She pulled at her dress. "You look amazing." Rosie wrapped her arms around the taller girl, who was now much taller due to her heels, and kissed her on the neck. "Should I take out my snake bites?" she asked as she played with her rings.
"No. Leave them in. I love metal."
"S-so, are you ready?"
Rosie nodded. "I organized this didn't I?"
Carter nodded and followed Rosie outside. "Ugh! It looks like it's going to rain!" she said, incredibly pissed. "And I just got my hair done!"
"It's fine. Just help me with these gift bags and get in the car."
oOoOo
On the drive there, it began to pour so hard, she was barely able to see the road. "Fuck!" she said, doing her best to defog the car. "Today of all days, right?" she said as they pulled into the crowded parking lot. "Okay, we're going to grab the gift bags from the trunk and dash to the door." Rosie popped the trunk and they both ran out of the car, to the trunk, grabbed the gift bags and slammed the trunk.
Carter's mouth fell open when, in slow motion, she watched Rosie slam the trunk closed with her car keys inside. Rosie and Carter exchanged looks, helpless. Rosie laughed and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Fuuuuuuucccccck! It's gotta be me, right?" she yelled up at the sky. "Everything else wasn't bad enough, you have to do this!" she laughed.
Carter gave her a sympathetic look. "Do you have a spare?"
"Yeah." she nodded. "At my house. Where my mom isn't."
She slammed her back against her car and slid down to the floor. Carter joined her. "We'll just call someone, like my dad."
Rosie laughed and looked at Carter with her make up streaming down her face. "I love you."
Carter was stunned. "What?"
Rosie smiled widely. "I'm soaked, locked out of my car, late for my own fund raiser and I'm okay with that, because I have you." Carter brushed the hair that fell in front of her face behind her ears. "You make this okay, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now if I knew you were going to be here."
Carter smiled dumbly, unsure of how to react. "I don't want you getting sick. Let's call my dad."
Rosie smiled and grabbed Carter by the back of her head and pulled her in for their first time real kiss.
