So here's your new chapter! :D

-THG-

We fell asleep looking at the stars and I woke up with Roy's jacket around my shoulders. I look over and notice he's still asleep. I laugh and sit up. I look up and see the sun is already high up in the sky. "Hey Roy wake up." I say shaking his shoulder a little.

"Hmm?" he mumbles sitting up. "What time is it?" I ask seeing he has a watch on.

"Uh…twelve o' clock." He says running his hand through his hair. What?

"We seriously slept until twelve?" I ask. "Yes and I would've slept longer if you wouldn't have so rudely woken me up you pickle head." He says smirking. I laugh a little.

"Come on we probably should go home." He says stretching his arms. "Why? We don't need to." I say crossing my arms.

"No but what you DO need is a shower." he plugs his nose and pretends to swat imaginary flies away. "NOT NICE!" I scream, my jaw dropped, fighting off a laugh.

"Relax, just kidding." He says smiling. "But seriously we need to go home. Our parents are just going to come find us and we'll be in that much more trouble."

"But-"I start but he cuts in. "Pwease? For me?" he says pouting out his bottom lip. I laugh. He looks like Macy…Macy! I forgot about her! Her mom's supposed to be back today.

"Crap!" I say jumping down from the tree. Roy jumps after me. "What?"

"Macy. Her mom's supposed to be back today and I forgot all about her!" I say as I start walking.

"Okay so it was easier than I thought getting you to go home." He says shrugging. I just roll my eyes and lead the way. Once we crawl under the fence and are walking through the meadow Roy speaks up. "Get ready for our parents to explode." He says.

"I say we're grounded for…three weeks." I say smiling. "I say four." He says back.

"Well I guess we're about to find out." I say as we turn the corner and near our houses. I grab his hand and he squeezes mine back.

"They are going to kill us." He whispers. "Hopefully it's over quickly."

"Oh god." I whisper as we near Roy's house. I see the lady who never mentioned her name look out the window. She looks back in the house and says something. Then she walks away. "Good luck Roy." I say giving him a quick hug. We weren't gone for too long, so we shouldn't be in that much trouble…hopefully. "Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?" he asks.

"It's okay. Try to survive." I say giving him a small shove towards the door. "Bye pickle head!" he says as I walk away. I smile and shake my head. I guess that's my official nick name now.

As I walk closer to the house I start feeling uneasy, I hope they're not too mad. I carefully open the front door and step inside. I close the door with as little noise as possible and take of my shoes. I find myself walking towards the kitchen. I didn't realize how hungry I was until now. As soon as I open the door I know I made a mistake. Of course mom and dad are sitting at the table. And of course Caleb and Macy just happened to be there too. Ugh. I walk to the counter and grab an apple without looking in their direction. "Rose?" dad says.

"Oh, hey dad." I say, as if noticing him sitting there for the first time, like nothing happened. I head for the door but hear moms voice behind me. "Hey I think we need to talk."

"Not really." I say walking out. I quickly walk upstairs and shut the door to my bedroom. I run to the bathroom and turn on the shower water. There. Now they'll leave me alone. I take a quick shower and change into jeans and a plain black t-shirt. I braid my hair like my mother used to, that's one of the things we have in common, and I like the style.

I take my time slowly coming down the stairs. All I have to do is find Macy and take her home. And knowing her she's probably wherever dad is. So the kitchen it is. Oh joy. I walk in and see Macy sitting at the table. "Okay Macy we have to take you home now." I say walking towards her. "But I don't wanna go!" she whines.

"I know, but you can come back again sometime! And your mommy's back today, don't you wanna go see her?" I ask picking her up. "Yeah!" she says happily. She really loves her mother. I walk towards the door with Macy when someone grabs my arm. I turn around and see dad standing there. "We just wanted to make sure you're okay Rose." he says looking at me.

"I'm fine." I say walking out. I don't understand why I'm so mad at them. Is it the fact they didn't tell me about the Hawthorne's? That they can't forgive gale? Well whatever the cause, I don't feel like talking to them right now.

I carry Macy and grab her backpack that was thankfully sitting in the living room. "Do you have your teddy bear?" I ask. She nods and says it's in her backpack. I smile and walk outside. It's pretty warm today, thank goodness.

We walk past the empty houses and when we walk past Roy's house I stop, someone's yelling inside. I know I shouldn't but I hide behind a tree and crawl next to bushes to the side of the house. "We're gonna play follow the leader, but we gotta be real quiet. Okay?" I say to Macy. She nods and crawls next to me. We make it to the back of the house and slowly, I look over the window, just enough so that my eyes are showing. I see Gale, the lady and Roy all standing there screaming at each other.

"I thought I told you not to speak to her!" Gale yells.

"Dad you can't control who I talk to! Besides why can't I?" Roy yells back. They're talking about me, I can tell. "Because you don't know them Roy! They're not who you think!"

"Whatever dad! I don't care what you think about them!" he screams. Oh gosh. I look at Gales face. I know he's angry, but apparently angrier than I thought. Because he raises his hand and slaps Roy in the face.

My heart stops. I sink to the ground and quickly crawl to the side of the house. My eyes are wide and I put my hand over my mouth. Does he do that all the time? And if he slaps him over that one little comment, what would he do if Roy said something worse? I feel a tear fall from my eyes, that's why Roy wanted to go home so badly. This is my fault.

I remember Macy sitting there and quickly wipe my eyes. She didn't see what happened, she doesn't need to know. She doesn't need to stay here any longer. "Come on you're going home." I say picking her up. I quickly walk away from their house and make it to the street. I keep walking farther away from the house. Farther away from Roy. Why didn't I do anything? Why didn't I help him? He would've helped me. What's wrong with me?

-THG-
