Rose could feel a put starting to grow in her stomach. Something about them getting closer and closer to the college made the girl regret almost everything.

She stared out the window, rubbing her hands on her clothed thighs while listening to the car humming as Jim drove down the rode. It was a quiet drive, and Rose didn't mind that. She just felt like something was missing.

It was officially drop off day. Meaning the Rose will be starting college in a few days. She will no longer be under the same roof as Jim. Could that be what's making her nervous? Maybe that was the missing part?

The car suddenly stopped. Rose was parked in front of her dorm building. She already had her college ID and her room key. All they needed to do was bring her stuff in, and she would be on her own. Alone in a college dorm. Depending her life on campus security.

She stayed still in her seat while Jim got out to start grabbing her belongings. Rose was slowly starting to regret this idea. She didn't want to leave Jim just yet. She wanted to stay in the apartment a little longer where she knew she would be safe. Where no one could target her.

Rose finally opened the door to help Jim with her things. She kept her mouth shut while she grabbed bags. They started to walk towards the building together.

It really wasn't until when they got everything from the car, when Rose started to think about speaking up.

"I don't know how I feel about this." She finally spoke up to Jim.

The man looked at her in confusion, mid process of making her bed. "What do you mean? I thought you wanted to go to college?"

Rose nodded her head. "I do, just, I don't know how I feel about the security here." She hoped that Jim understood what she was talking about.

"Rose, I already talked to the campus security. They promised to keep an extra close eye on her."

Rose shook her head before bringing her thumbnail to her mouth. "I don't trust the security here. How do I know that they aren't influenced by anything that's been going on?"

Jim stopped what he was doing before facing the girl. He rubbed his chin before looking to the ground. "Is this your way of asking for a personal bodyguard?" He asked her.

Rose hated the idea of it. She nodded her head though. She felt safer thinking that someone would be with her, sworn to protect her at all costs.

Before he died, he would've protected Rose no matter what. As much as she didn't like the way or his methods. A part of it was comforting. In an odd way. But he is gone. Dead.

Jim nodded his head in silence before looking around the small room. "I'll make some calls and see what I can do." He promised Rose.

"No police officers." Rose added on. No matter how much time she spent at the precinct, Rose still felt like officers had this hatred towards her. Because he killed their previous Commissioner.

Again, Jim nodded his head, slightly understanding Rose's point of view for that. He only pursued his lips before looking back to the bed he was making. "I'll see what I can do."

Rose gave a small smile before starting to unpack her clothes, hanging them and putting them in the drawers.

The move-in process was quiet between them, only few interactions on where Rose wanted something placed in her room.

When it was all done, Jim gave the girl a tight hug as a goodbye. "I'll come by in a couple weeks." He promised her, before placing a quick kiss on the top of her head. "Have fun, stay safe, and keep up the grades."

Rose nodded before muttering a bye, watching as he left the room. The door clicked behind him, locking itself immediately. As much as Rose wanted to feel safe with the locked door, locked windows, and also being on the top floor, the girl still didn't feel safe. She had this uncomfortable feeling. Like she was being watched or something.

The girl went to close the blinds, hoping that made it go away. It didn't though. It still felt like someone was watching her.
