Rose sobbed until her throat was raw. Never in her life had she felt so utterly lost and alone. Not even the warm caress on her back penetrated the cold doubt that was painfully clawing it's way into her heart. As her adoptive Nan held her she began to calm down ever so slightly. Well, enough that Tina could make some tea for Rose and herself

"What's wrong Petal?", Tina asked after she set the tea tray down on the low coffee table that Rose had once done her homework at.

Through sniffles and little sips of tea, Rose explained everything to the thin, fifty something year old. From the damned film night that started it all to her current predicament that she now found herself in.

"-so that's it. I had to get away. I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to go", the Blonde said her face in her hands as she rested her elbows on her thighs.

"Petal", Tina said softly, lifting Rose's head to meet her eyes, "This is the only place outside of your own homes where you will always be welcome. Don't think for a single second that you are not wanted and loved, because you are. You most certainly are. Especially by me".

"I'm sorry-", she began again.

"Hush now Love. You are to stay here for all long as you need. Whether that be for a few days or longer. And if that Daft fool comes round here he won't be able to contact you with out your permission. Do you hear me Petal? You are safe. Your child is safe. Nan's here and I'm not going anywhere any time soon", Tina said as she cleaned up the tea tray and cups.

"Thanks Nan. I must look like a complete mess. Sorry, bit more sentiment than last time", Rose said wiping at the streaks of mascara that had formed upon her face.

"Yes you do, but that's okay because your still my beautiful little Rose Petal. Why don't I make you something to eat, yeah? I know it's late but I would rather you ate something before you sleep than not. Helps not just you, but the baby too", Tina said standing up and walking over to the refrigerator and taking out some food to make a late night snack for her two newest flat mates.

Rose cried herself to sleep that night in Tina's spare bedroom and in the morning she awoke to find her cheeks covered in dry itchy streaks of salt.

For a few moments she had forgotten everything that had happened and when she had remembered it came crashing down onto her like a dead weight.

Overcome with grief and a new found feeling of nausea Rose quickly got up and rushed to the restroom.
