Boom! :D Another chapter. You guys are lucky that I love you so much! :D


Chapter Thirteen:

It was an hour later when I finished the phone call. Getting everything sorted.

As I was heading to my next place I had to go, my cell phone rang.

I got my phone out and saw it was Mason calling me.

I picked up, "Hey."

"Scott is back." Mason told me through the phone.

I sighed, "Is Jill awake yet?"

"Yeah she is, they're playing Snakes and Ladders." I could hear him smiling.

I laughed, "I can't believe I still have that game."

"I can," Mason replied.

I rolled my eyes, "I'll be there as soon as I can, I just got to do something."

"Oh god," Mason groaned, "What happened?"

I stood out the door where I hated to go the most.

"Plan B happened." I hung up then.

"Hathaway," Barked one of the guardians at the door. "What are doing here?"

I took a deep breath, "I'm here to see the Queen."


Waiting for the god dam Queen to finish her chess game was god dam long. Half of me didn't even know why I was even her, but the other half knew I needed the Queen's help, even if she was a bitch.

One of her female guardians, Serena I think her name was, came over to me.

"The Queen will see you now." She seemed quite nice. Then again, she was female and us female guardians were much more nicer than male ones (apart from Dimitri).

I nodded and got up from my seat.

The next thing I knew I was bowing down to Queen Bitch herself.

"Please Guardian Hathaway," She pointed to the sofa opposite her. "Take a seat." I sat down and a moment later Tatiana said, "I guess you are here about Jillian."

My eyes snapped up to hers, "How?"

She smiled softly at me, "The academy called me after you talked to them and informed me on what has been happening. How is Jillian?"

I sighed, "She could do better if her sister was there for her." I said honestly.

"Yes well, Lissa may be a good Queen one day but she is having trouble coming to terms with everything." I nodded in agreement. "And I fully support you with your plan."

That surprised me. "You do?"

"You have matured over the years Rose, I see how protective you are of Lissa, Scott and the rest of people you care about and I know you are a great guardian." She paused, thinking of the right words. "But I do understand that you are looking after your younger brother, is that correct?" I slowly nodded. "I am just worried if you could look after both children, since one of them is a teenager and has an eating disorder. I'm just wondering if you could cope with it."

I cleared my throat, "Yes I can. I may be looking after two kids, but I know them well and I think I can look after them well. I've spoken to the academy and I'm going to see if Scott's private tutor here will teach Jill too. I've already spoken to Jill's mother, Emily about this. At first she wanted to Jill back with her, but I told her that Jill won't get the support she could get here and that I'd look after Jill. In the end Emily agreed. Both the academy and Emily are going to be sending her things down here and I will also look for a good therapist here to help Jill. Above all that," I sighed, "I think I can do it."

Tatiana stared at me more a minute, before smiling. "Well then, I might as well give you this."

She placed a piece of paper on the coffee table in front of me. I picked it up and I was shocked at what I saw.

"I-I..." I was speechless. The Queen had just made the Rose Hathaway speechless. Please, someone take a picture of this moment.

I looked from the piece of paper to her, "I can't have this, it's wrong."

She shook her head, "You deserve it Rosemarie."

I blinked and said the words I thought I would never say to her. "Thank you."

"Now get out of here before I change my mind," By the smile on her face, I knew she was joking.

I laughed and said my goodbyes. Then I left.

I walked to my apartment with a wide smile on my face.

Who knew Queen Bitch could be so nice?


As I walked into my apartment, I heard playful screams coming from the living room. I walked in there to see Mason, Scott and Jill playing Snakes and Ladders.

"I WIN!" Scott shouted, waving his arms in the air.

"You always win," Mason said acting like he was eight too.

"Well he's my brother, so he gets lucky." I stated as I sat down with them.

"Finally!" Mason shouted getting up, "I've got to get going, I promised Claire I'll be home before eight."

I nodded and smiled at him, "Thanks for today."

"You're welcome, see you guys later." He said running out of the door.

"Bye!" We called.

"Where were you today?" Jill said. Seeing her now, she looked better than before.

"I had to do some things, how are you?" I asked.

She nodded, "Better, but I haven't eaten yet, I'm scared about what would happen."

I smiled, "How about if I make a small piece of something and see where it goes from there?"

She nodded, "That's a good plan."

I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Scott asked.

I sighed, "I need to tell you two about Plan B."

I told Jill that I spoken to the Academy about her problems she was having. At first they said they would do everything in their power to stop it, but then I told them I wanted Jill to stay at court with me and Scott. Before coming back to the apartment, I bumped into Scott's private tutor, Claudia, she said she would be delight to teach Jill. And now all I needed to do was to find a therapist.

"You would really do all of this? For me?" Jill asked me afterwards.

I nodded, "Of course. But you have to see the therapist and stop doing your habit, otherwise I'll have to send you back to the academy. Do you think you can do it?"

Jill bit her lip, "I think I can."

I smiled, "Good, I'm glad."

"Wait, how can we live all under one roof? You only have one room and I can't stay on the sofa forever." Jill stated.

I smiled, "Well the Queen gave me a little gift." I got the piece she gave me out of my pocket and showed it to both Scott and Jill.

Scott looked up at me, "She gave you a house?"

I nodded, "It has three bedrooms for the three of us, a big living room and a big kitchen as well as a back garden."

Scott grinned, "Wow, I don't have to sleep in the same bed as you!" He jumped up and down, making me and Jill laugh.

"When can we move in?" Jill asked.

"Says here as soon as." I said looking at the paper.

"Rose," I looked up to Jill, "Thank you for taking me in."

I pulled her into a hug, "Your welcome and," I kept one arm around her as I wrapped my other arm around Scott, "Welcome to the family."


Awwwwwwwwwwwww...

First of all, everyone keeps asking me "Where is Dimitri!" Don't worry he'll be in the next chapter. And he's only not been in the chapters for like two or three...but to be honest, i kinda miss him too.

What did you think of this chapter, Rose finally getting a house? X
