I Punched The Alpha

36-Rosalinda Ryder, You're Under Arrest

Rosie's POV

I was just sitting next to the window staring into the forest.

I've been sitting here for half an hour.

My mind has just been blank.

It has been a few days since I found out the truth.

I haven't been thinking straight.

I can't focus on anything either.

I've been getting distracted easily by random thoughts.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Maybe just learning the truth has been too much for my brain to handle.

But it's hard for me to think here.

I haven't been able to sleep well either.

I either get woken up by a dream or only sleep for 4 or 5 hours.

Bags have been starting to grow under my eyes.

Because of this Jonathan has insisted on sleeping next to me.

He has been worried about me because he doesn't know what's going on.

I heard a knock at my door, interrupting my thoughts.

"Come in." I spoke.

Jonathan walked in and as soon as he saw me a wide grin appeared on his face.

I smiled back and turned my attention back to the forest outside my window.

I felt his arms go around me as he hugged me from behind.

"Are you tired?" He asked.

"A little. But I'm ok." I answered.

"You really should get some sleep."

"It's the middle of the day." I pointed out.

"Still. You haven't been sleeping well. It's not good for you." He buried his face in my neck.

"I just need to be surrounded by something familiar."

"You know you can't go anywhere. The cops are still after you."

"But there is this one place. Near the alley where you saw my brother for the first time. No one knows I go there. Except for the person who owns the bar. But I'm really good friends with him."

"And what if he talked to the cops."

"He wouldn't."

"I'm not taking you."

"Why not!?"

"Because I don't know the guy. I can't risk the cops getting to you."

"Fine. If you won't take me then I'll go myself."

I got out of his grip and went to my closet.

"You can't go by yourself." He yelled.

"Well I offered you to come but you declined."

I pulled out a black hoodie from my closet and put it on.

I put my hair up into a ponytail and put on some dark sunglasses.

"I'm not letting you go alone." Jonathan said.

I put my hood over my head and turned to him. "Then your welcome to come with me. It's the bar near the alley where you saw my brother."

********************************

I won.

I convinced him to come with me.
