How starved for love must I be,to mistake politeness for someone wanting me?
-Jessica Katoff.
Rose's pov
Oh God smoke!where is this smoke coming from....Mum.
Coughing I shouted "Mum!Mum!Where are you?!"I started panicking.
"In the kitchen!"she replied.
I sprinted towards the kitchen,to find mum cooking-well atleast trying to cook.She burned the soup.Wait a general question how does one burn a soup?
"Mum,what on earth are you doing?!"I exclaimed,throwing away the soup and dumping the pot/pan in the sink and filling it with water.
"Well I wanted to make you your favourite soup.You haven't had since your Dad left.I know it wouldn't be as good as he use to make but still.Why did you have to throw it away?"she whined
Sometimes I find it very hard to believe that she's my mother and not the other way around.
"Mum first of all he is not my dad okay,second mum you burned the soup and last what are you doing in the kitchen?"I was already frustrated and she was adding even more burden on my shoulders.
"Rose stop holding grudges,second it wasn't that burned-"I cutted her off.
"Mum,it turned black."I snapped
"-and third Rose I know I'm not suppose to be out of bed because you said so but seriously how can I let you do all the work?You go to school,come home take,care of me and everything here and even on weekends you go to work at the book store to have enough money to buy medicines.I feel like I'm just a burden.I ruined your school life.When I was your age I used to have boyfriends,go to parties,have boyfriends-"
"Mum you said it two times"
"-And just basically have fun and live my life to the fullest"she concluded.
"Mum,you are my life.Sure I don't do those things that other teenage people do because I don't need them."
"Not even boyfriends?"she looked up to me and pouted.
"Mum I already told you I don't need one right now.The day I find a boy crazy enough to like me I'll introduce you to him.okay"
"Pinky promise"she held out her pinky finger.
I chuckled at her innocence and linked my pinky with hers."pinky promise indeed".
8 hours later
Ring ring ring....ring ring ring...ring ring ring.Ughh who is calling me at this hour of the night-its 12:04.am.
"Hello?"I asked in my hoarse voice,while wiping the drool off my face.
"Rose..."someone's voice came out shaky like they were sobbing.
"Dove?!"I panicked as she continued to sob.
"Dove where are you?!"I demanded,what happened to her.
"I'm at your front door"
I jumped out of bed and hurried towards the door.I opened it to see Dove's broken state.As soon as she realised that the door opened she threw her arms around me.Shocked,I hugged her back and stroked her back trying to calm her down.
"Wanna come inside and tell me what happened?"I asked soothingly asked.
She nodded and asked"Can I stay here for the night?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
I took her to my room and laid with her waiting for her to say something and finally she said something that left me shocked.
"Daniel and I broke up"
I was about to ask why but she continued.
"You know how I told you I had a date with him tonight,Right?"I nodded,encouraging her to continue.
"Well I went to the restaurant,the same place where we had our first date.I waited and waited for him for a whole two hours.All the waiters and waitresses were giving me pity looks.I didn't eat anything even after two hours finally I was fed up with waiting.So I left.I was so mad at him for standing me up but then I was also worried that something happened to him"
And she started crying once again,the tears that were welled up in her eyes were now flowing non stop.
"shush shush you don't have to tell me." Wiping away the raindrop like tears from her rosy cheeks.
"No I have to tell,please don't stop me."she pleaded.
"So I went to his house and unlocked the door with the spare key he gave me and you know what I find he was kissing some blond girl Rose.He was cheating on me and you know with who?"She asked.
I shaked ny head and balled my fists trying to stop my self from getting angry.
"With Maria...he was cheating on me with Maria Stella."and with that she dozed off into dream world,exhauted with life.
I kissed her forehead and snuggled into her,closing my eyes I fell asleep.
