Rose's POV
My Tuesday was spent the same as the rest, no sleep, hung out and moped around; along with chugging all the coffee in the house to stay awake.

I check myself in the mirror before I leave for my first day back at school, my hair is placed in a low messy bun, my makeup is nonexistent besides mascara, and the dark bags under my eyes seriously make me look like hell. I straighten out my baggy T-shirt and leggings while I pick up my bag and walk out of my bedroom.

"Bye mom" my voice loud so she can hear me from the kitchen

She walks in "Bye honey, I'm so glad you're feeling better, that must have been one bad bug, but are you sure you feel ok? You don't look so good, you look pale, how much sleep did you get last night?" she asks concerned

"Yeah I'm fine, I didn't sleep much last night again, I don't now it's just hard falling asleep lately" my voice shaky from the thought of seeing the man who broke my heart soon

"Ok let me get you some coffee, I'll see you after you get off work, love you" she kisses my cheek and walks back into the kitchen leaving me by the door ready to leave. She comes back in and hands me a cup of steaming hot coffee, I nod in thanks as she disappears from my sight once again. I hoist up my bag higher on my shoulder and grip my keys tightly in my hand, causing them to dig into my skin painfully.

"I can do this" I say quietly to myself, closing my eyes tightly and opening the door.

I walk over to the drivers side and unlock the door. I pull the handle roughy trying to open the stubborn door without success. I grip it hard using both hands putting my coffee on the ground for a second and pull again, still closed. "️ugh!" I say loudly, "one last pull" I tell myself, with all my strength it opens causing me to fall right on my butt with a loud thud "ow" I say rubbing my ass feeling a huge knot already on my tail bone. A bad bruise is bound to be there tomorrow. I stand up angry at my car door, grab my coffee and climb in, sitting on the knot causing me to wince. I slam my door and buckle up, putting the key in the ignition I hear the worst sound ever, the motor spinning over and over but never starting.

"You have got to be kidding me!" I say throwing my hands up in frustration and slamming my back against the seat. It's like the world is trying to tell me not to go see him and at this point I'm thinking of listening. No, I have to go I've already missed two days of school because of him I can't avoid him forever.

I pull out my cell phone and dial Jades number while I wait I try the car one more time but there's no way this thing is cranking. "hello?" Her voice comes through the phone quietly

"Hey"

"What's up?" She whispers

"My cars broken, can you come pick me up?" I ask hopefully

"I can't" she says

"Why? And why are you whispering" I ask

"It's the reason I can't come pick you up, I'm in morning detention with Mrs.Jackson I was late to her class yesterday" she says

"Crap, ok bye I'll figure it out don't get in more trouble" I warn and hang up

I throw my phone in my bag and try to figure out what the heck to do, I walk back inside to see my mom coming out the front door I stop her and ask "hey can you run me to school? My car won't start"

"Rose I can't, I'm already running late, you know how much my boss gets mad when I'm late" she says walking past me

"Mom what do I do?!" I ask frantic

"Call Jade" she suggests pulling her black purse over her shoulder, her hair already tied tight in a bun

"I already did, she's serving morning detention" I tell her
