Rose's POV

Dad pulled Ollie into a tight hug, tears streamed Ollie's face, along with a goofy smile  "Ollie I am so sorry, I never . . . though that your moms death would . . . oh god I am such a fucking idiot." Dad mumbled quietly, I on the other hand was cradling a very awake Rayne, who was on the verge of crying

"Mama! Mama!" she spoke, dad pulled away from the hug and turned towards us, his face drained of colour, he walked towards the both of us and took Rayne from my arms, I eyed him carefully as he rocked her in his arms cooing

"Your mama was the best woman I have ever known." A single tear fell from the corner of his eye as he continued " I bet she's watching over you right now, so proud of you and your brother and sister, and mad at me." he chuckled softly "I'm sorry Raynie I love you a lot and promise to make sure that you always remember your mom okay." Rayne let out a loud laugh as dad then tickled her belly and she squirmed in his arms, Ollie walked over to me and I pulled him in for a tight hug

"I'm so proud of you little bro." he chuckled softly "But can I just say this . . ." I took a deep breath and asked "Why didn't you come to me?" I put my hands on my hips and looked down at him authoritatively, he shook his head and smiled back up at me

"You were kinda, well how do I put it . . ."

I cut him off "Depressed, drunk, sleeping, eating?"

"Mourning?" he uncertainly responded

"Okay, now I get it, but you can come to me with things like this you know, anything with boys you have me and uncle Danny and Oliver and girls well dad and I think that's it, unless . . ." I was cut off as uncle Danny marched through the door, he had his rainbow scarf wrapped around his neck, he pulled it away from him and paraded around the room singing Love and War by Fleurie

"I'm next in line and my supply is running out, its time to leave the clouds hanging low, the truth begins to show." He wraps the scarf tightly around Ollie's neck, Ollie chuckles sofa. He finished singing, and patted Ollie on the back and stated excitedly "I knew it! I fucking knew it."

"You heard?" Daniel nodded and stated

"You yelled it so loud I am sure Noah can hear you from hell." everyone in the room bar me laughed, uncle Daniel sent me a concerned look "C'mon Rose it was funny laugh." He encouraged but I shook my head.

"I'm . . . erm . . . going to bed . . . erm bye." I pretty much sprinted out of the room and up to my bedroom where I lay for hours until dad called from downstairs

"Rosie you have a visitor" I crawled out of my nirvana aka my bed and slowly walked out of the room and down the stairs, I looked down and it was Marco, I wandered down the stairs clutching my pyjama's to keep myself warm, Marco met me half way up the stairs and kissed my cheek softly

"Merry Christmas Rose." He had one hand behind his back and as I was about to answer he revealed the beautiful bouquet of black and red roses from behind his back, I chuckled softly and responded

"Thank you Marco, I love them." he took his free hand and ran his fingers over my cheek, and I thought to hell with it, I pressed my lips to his, his cold hands gripped my waist pulling me impossibly closer to him as mine became entangled in his hair. Lets say things escalated quickly. There was a knock at my bedroom door and SHIT I forgot to lock it. I wrapped the sheet around my body, the door swung open and I gasped as Ariadne entered the room, my mouth hung open. Ariadne stood there, she shook her head in hysterical laughter, a bottle of what looks like tequila in her hand. Her ink black hair hung neatly behind her back. I sighed a sigh of relief and looked back over at Marco who was asleep, we had started but the mood was ruined when I cried out Noah's name, oops. I wandered into the bathroom picking up my clothes and putting them back on, I walked towards the door as Ari stated sarcastically

"Oh the walk of shame. . . we know it all to well." 

"Please we barely . . ." I defended and Ari just took a swig from her tequila.

"I know kid, I stole your dads phone and was watching it." She laughed "Seriously, if I had any empathy left in me I would feel bad for him." I looked down at the floor and then after about a minute brought my gaze back up to her, she had a flask in her hand, it looked as if it would hold about 8 ounces, I took it and unscrewed the lid and took a sip, the whiskey was strong and burned my throat, it tingled by tongue but left a frankly disgusting aftertaste in my mouth.

"Thanks." she nodded and then asked

"Do you want me to kick him out or. . ." a smirk grew across her face and I shook my head laughing, putting on a shocked expression I stated

"No, I'll do it I don't need you murdering him." Her smirk fell and she sauntered back off to her room. I wandered back into my room and Marco was sat upright on the bed, he had put his boxers on and his t-shirt was thrown loosely around his shoulders, his defined chest and arm muscles poked through the thin fabric, he stood up and met me as I sat down on the sofa.

"I'm sorry about y'know." he shook his head and stated sourly

"Screaming another mans name whilst we were fucking is not okay Rose, I get it we are not exclusive but I would be lying if I said I didn't want it, to say I didn't want you to be my girlfriend." He took a deep breath before continuing "I know that shits been rough for you at the moment, but I don't want to be locked in a relationship with you when you are still in love with another man, a dead man may I add." I just simply nodded at his words, and and he pulled me in for a side hug. I pulled away from him and gave him a tight lipped smile, he threw his clothes back on and then walked out of the door a solemn expression on his face. I walked up to my open door and shut it quietly, I then turned on my heel and made it back to my plush bed. I lay on my bed, staring at the pale blue ceiling contemplating well everything. Today has been beyond eventful, I just need time to process it all.
