Three days. It's been three fucking days since Rose freaked and ran away from me.

Nate must have told her who I am and why wouldn't she run away, any Sane person would run for the hills the moment they find out I am going to become a gangster. Ooo everyone's childhood dream. NOT.

I don't know why but I was way more irritated than usual, I walked to calculus and found Andrew waiting by the door for me.

I ignored him and went to my seat.

"Do you still have your panties in a twist?" Andrew asked sitting beside me.

"Shut up."

"Oh come on don't act like a little girl." he started to sit but I pushed the chair away and he fell on his ass.

"Oww what did you do that for?" he said as he got up and dragged the fallen chair back.

"Because you are an idiot."

"look.." he started

"No, you look. You know something, don't you? You have been avoiding and changing the topic whenever I bring up Rose." I said cutting him off.

"Ash..."

"It's about Nate, isn't it. That bastard is moving in on her isn't he," I said anger hitting me.

"Will you stop and be reasonable for a second?" he said.

"And you don't have to worry about Nate and Rose trust me on that one," he said rolling his eyes.

"Ash I can't tell you much it's not my place to do so," he sighed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" before he could answer the teacher came in and the class quieted down.

The rest of the classes were a blur. Rose was not in school again. And for some reason, I was getting anxious.

I spent the lunch in my car listening to music for the third day in a row. I did not want to end up breaking the nose of American Don's son.

It was the last period and I did not want to go back home.

I left my backpack and phone in my car and went behind the elementary school building where Rose had broken her and Sofia's phone.

That girl sure had changed, something was up and I had no idea what and it was driving me crazy.

I stepped out on the marble right behind the elementary building and noticed her instantly.

She was sitting on the ground her head hung, her beautiful brown hairs making a curtain to cover her face and her hands under her thighs.

I walked up to her slowly and noticed a bottle on her side.

Woah Vodka.

"Rosa," I said softly putting my hand on her shoulder.

Then realized that she was probably scared of me and removed it.

Her head snapped up and she looked me directly in the eyes.

Her eyes bore the clear sign that she had not shared her Vodka with anyone.

"Ash!" she said clearly.

I didn't remember when I had gotten so used to her, her voice and her presence. It was like a drug that was taken away from me for three days straight. It was a weird kind of relief

"What are you doing here Rose?" I asked softly waiting for her to run away.

"Ash I...I l-like you. I like you a lot. Not k-knowing... Ignoring you-it hurt. It hurt like h-hell" she stammered.
"If what Andrew said is true...." she left the sentence hanging.
"Ash I don't care. I-I I want to be w-with you." My heart went up in flutters.

But this should not have happened.

The thought surprised me. I realized at that moment that I care about her and I am known to hurt people. And she will get hurt if I am with her. I am too toxic for her pure heart.

"I don't think you know what you are talking about," I said with a sweet smile.
"You are drunk Rose and you should go home," I spoke looking into her eyes.
"I will leave you alone Rose, just like you asked me to," I say with all the traces of smile gone from my face.

She was already hurt. I could see it. Her eyes were wide as if someone took her world and shook it.
I can see she won't remember this but I needed to get my feelings under the bridge.

And then without a warning, she passed out.

Woah.

"Rosa...Rosa," I tapped her cheek.

She didn't wake up.

I picked her up and started walking back towards the parking lot. Thank the gods it was completely empty.

My Audi was a two-seater, it was a hell of a task to get her in.

Then I called Violet.

"Hello?" her voice rang in my ear.

"Violet I need a bit of help."

"Umm Ash, what's up?"

"Are your parents home?" I asked.

"Excuse me!" I heard a car honk in the background, so she was still on her way. Good.

"Yes I need help, get back here in school, it's Rose," I said so she won't ignore me.

"What about Rose?" I heard the car stop.

"Just get to the school parking lot will you," I said not wanting to explain over the phone.

I had picked up the vodka bottle as well it still had a little vodka left.

I took a mouthful and gulped. The bitter taste burned the back of my throat.

'Damn, this is undiluted did she finish the whole thing herself?' I thought, looking at her.

"We will be right there?" Violet said through the phone and hung up.

I took another sip watching Rose breath lightly and sat on the ground taking another sip.

She looked so peaceful but the purple under her eyes said she hadn't slept well just like me.

About 10 minutes later a dark blue car pulled up. Violet and Diya both ran up to where I was sitting and looked at me and then at Rose.

Both of them gasped.

"What did you do?" Violet asked putting a hand on her mouth.

I rolled my eyes and got up.

"Nothing," I said with a shrug.

She stormed up to me and took hold of my t-shirt while Diya went up to Rose ignoring both of us.

"Tell me the truth Wright." this girl and her dramatics.

I released myself from her grip.

"Relax I didn't kill her if that's what you are thinking," I said with a sigh.

"I found her behind the school she was drunk and then she passed out so I carried her here that's it," I explained before she got down to violence.

"Where does she live?" I asked them hoping they might know.

Diya mumbled Rose's old address.

I sighed. I was not about to get into the whole story of how she doesn't seem to live there anymore if I tried to explain them I would just sound like a creepy stalker which I probably was.

So without arguing I set off to Rose's home following Diya and Violet's car as they drove ahead of me.

When we were at the door both of them got out and Violet went up to check if someone was home while Diya stayed behind and came to stand by the hood.

Rose was curled up on the seat and looked peaceful. I got out of the car as well.

"She doesn't trust you much you know," Diya said gazing up at the building.

"huh?"

"Violet I mean," She said.

"I know," half the student population did and Violet a proper queen bee was bound to show her dramatics in this case.

"You like her, don't you?" she asked looking at me from the corner of her eyes.

I looked at her finally. "Yeah, I guess I do."

And then Violet emerged from the building looking super confused.

"I-I don't think she lives there anymore," she said looking at Diya.

'Surprise surprise.' i thought to myself.

"What do you mean?" Diya frowned.

"I mean the place looks completely unused!" Violet explained.

"You sure?"

"Diya I can't miss a fucking layer of dust that's coating everything up there, either that or she just like to keep it dirty," she said rolling her eyes.

"Does she?" I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

Diya punched me in the arm.

"Okay, who has Sofia's phone number?" I asked looking at both of them.

"I will call Sofia," Diya said taking her phone out.

"I will call Mason," Violet said at the same time as Diya.

***

"Alright....yeah...sure." Violet hung up the phone and looked at us.

"The brew is where Sofia and Mason wants to meet." she said.

Diya smacked her arm. "Sof and Mason or you?" she said laughing.

"And Nate will be with them." she said looking at me.

Fuck.
