Two weeks

it has been two weeks since Jonathan corning me behind the bar

two weeks since Adam told me to leave, and two weeks of me trying to get through to him about what happened, and all I got back was silence.

Complete silence.

I groan when I hear the knocking at the door, I turn to lie flat and stare at the ceiling in my bedroom at the Gallagher house. It looks like I'm back to square one. "come in" I mumbled and watched as Kev peeked in the room.

I huff and throw the blanket over my head, he starts to protest "Hey, I'm just here to check on you" I flip the blanket down and glower at him. He sighs and sits on the edge of the bed. I sigh and sit up. "I'm never gonna be fine Kev, Adam refuses to believe me no matter what I say," I tell him.

He rubs his forehead in frustration "he's being stubborn as usual, but I can see how it's affecting both of you being away from each other for so long." I look down at my fingers as they pull a piece of skin.

I take a deep breath "Look, I don't know what else to do, I tried to tell him but he won't listen, hell even Fiona did but he's too deep into his head to hear us." I watch as Kev nods. 

He taps my hands softly, his face turns into a stony look, a facial expression you don't usually see on Kev, he stands from the edge of the bed and leaves the room before I can say anything else.

 I watch as the door slams shut and sigh as I throw myself back down into the comfort of my now lonely bed without Adam.


I raise my hand and knock on the front door of the home that I once shared with him, I wait patiently as my heart starts to pound repeatedly, waiting to see him. I jump out of my thoughts when the door is thrown open and look into those deep honey-brown eyes that I haven't seen in two weeks. 

I swallow nervously "Hi" Is all I can muster out as my voice starts to shake a little. Adam leans against the door frame looking at me, his eyes are red and his hair is caked with grease, I look down and see his clothes have stains littered all over.

I sigh and clasp my hands together to stop them from shaking. "How are you?" I asked him. He scoffs, pushing away from the door, and heads inside, I walk in closing the door behind me, and look around the house.

It had stuff thrown everywhere, everything unorganized and messy. I walk in further where he sits on the couch. I move to stand in front of him and we stare at each other, I bend down and sit in front of his legs. "can you please listen to me?" I practically whispered.

He shook his head scoffing "I heard you that past few times" I can feel my sadness turning to anger at his comment. I scoff and stand up with my hands on my hips "How many times do I have to tell you the truth?" I say, he tilts his head "When you tell me the truth." is all he responds.

"I did tell you the truth, but you are so stuck in your head and trauma from your last relationship that you're refusing to hear me when I tell you what happened." I take in a tense breath waiting for him.

He motions his head to the left "Your stuff is in the box by the door" We stare at each other in silence, he knows just what to say to break my heart. I nod silently and walk over to pick the box up.

I look back once more waiting and hoping he'll stop me from leaving... He doesn't...


I angrily throw the box down on the floor behind the bar, "Hey! Rosie is that you?" I hear Kev yell, I huff  "Yeah it's me" I put the rest of my stuff down, trying to calm my still pounding heart "Come here, I found something" I walk to the office where Kev sits at the computer desk staring at the screen in awe smiling.

"The fuck are you so happy about?" I leaned against the door and he turned the computer screen to face me, he turned the sound up louder, and we watched and heard the interaction from that night.

 My face drops as we watch the interaction, I can feel my hands start to sweat as we finish watching the security footage. Kev looks at me smiling "I got the fucker on video, now we can show the cops and Adam" Kev looks at me expectingly but I remain silent.

Kev's smile drops "What? whats wrong?" I shake my head as tears cloud my eyes but do not fall. "I don't care about showing this to the cops, god knows they don't help when it comes to this stuff" I laugh sarcastically.  Kev stares at me solemnly "I'll do whatever ask, just let me help you Ro" We look at each other and I nod. "go ahead, show Adam, but I want you to give him this" I hand it over and watch as Kev's face falls into shock. I walk away wiping the tears that slowly found their way out. 


Kev knocks on the front door waiting with the computer clutches under his arm. The door opens and the brothers stare at each other, Kev barrels through the door moves to sit on the couch, and opens the computer. Adam looks over at him on the couch and sighs before making his way over.

"what are you doing here Kev?" Adam cracks open another drink and sits across from his brother, Kev glares over at him and spins the computer around "Just here to make you realize that your head was so shoved up your ass that you fucked up your life." he clicks the button and the video plays. Kev closes the laptop screen and looks at Adam, Adam stares at the now closed computer "She wasn't lying" he whispers clenching his hands and leaving indents in his palms, Kev shakes his head "Nope, and now you've lost her" he says indeffiently.

Adam starts to panic and shakes his head repeatedly "No, no this can't be happening" he still whispers to himself, feeling the panic filling his chest. "you know, I always looked up to you but this, I don't know if you're gonna recover from this" Kev says, sadness in his eyes watching his older brother in duress knowing what he does next will be the final nail in the coffin.

Kev sighs and stands, reaching into his jacket pocket "She told me to give this to you". Adam watches as Kev places a singular lavender gemstone ring on the table between them.

 Adam stares at the ring, his heart and mind feeling like they were crushed and as if his soul was stampeded by a million little creatures, crushing his soul little by little over and over. Kev looks at him one more time before leaving the lonely house. Adam takes the ring into his shaking fingers and looks at it before placing it against his heart, 

tears falling down his face, he digs the ring in as if it would have the power to heal the brokenness in both of their hearts.
