Peter & Rosie

Chapter Five: Five Years.

"Happy twenty first Rosie" "thanks Abel" "so what did you wish for" he asked shortly after she'd blown out her candles, "it doesn't come true if you share it" "come on Rosie, we've not kids anymore, he's not coming back" "I don't want you to talk about Peter okay?" "Okay" Rosie spent her last five years working her ass off in the bed and breakfast, and school, that's right she went back to school, her mum couldn't afford it, but The school headmaster being an old friend of the family offered to put her through, as he said "he owed her father" she had also graduated with a full scholarship, to Cambridge, that was where Peter lived,

at first she couldn't believe it, but it was incredible, she called Peter and told him the news, that was the last time they talked, that was three years ago. She knew that some promises made by those you loved were broken and that was just life, she never expected Peter to be like that though. Rosie left again tomorrow she was back for the holidays, she always felt bad leaving her mother, but as her mother assured she was fine on her own after her asshole son left. Yeah family drama, but the important thing is that Rosie's brother was here today.

"Well that's me" "do you have to go already?" "Yeah if I want to get in before dark, you know driving at night in the country is dangerous" "I know, but I'm your mother, I worry either way, I love you Rosa" "I love you too mum" Rosie waved as she got into her car, Abel lent of the side looking in at her through the window, "Abel, I have to go, like I really need to leave I'm already off schedule" "stay safe Rosie" "thank you for the obvious statement I'll call you when I get in, and my mum to stop her from sobbing" "Okay, I'll look forward to it" he smiled, "bye Rosie Posie" "Bye Abel" with that she was gone driving down the dirt road, towards London, Cambridge.

"Rosie! How was your holiday?" "Good, yeah I saw my family" "I'm so glad, I've missed you" "yeah, I've missed you too Angel, how was your holiday?" "You know the usual, my hypocritical father was an ass to his gay daughter" "I'm sorry" "you always apologise when things aren't your fault, stop that, but really, I wish he'd treat me as normal as anyone, so what if I like girls, it doesn't change me" "I know, Ange, there's nothing wrong with you, you're still you, don't doubt that" "I love having you as my roommate" "same here" "hey so, for us first years there's a party that some of the second years are throwing you should come" "I don't know" "come on it'll be fun" "okay, one party that's it, just this once" "finally!" "But I am not wearing a tight dress" "you really are no fun" "ha ha" "what are you going to wear then?" "I figure it out, what time is this party?" "10" "great" for the rest of the three hours before they had to leave to make this party Rosie wished she never agreed to, they both decided what to wear, how to do their hair, makeup they would or wouldn't wear and then took a moment to breathe.

"I like it, it's all right" "that you for saying you like my wardrobe choice I feel validated" Rosie replies sarcastically with a smile, "okay so we have twenty five minutes, let's go, we'll be late" "the 'frat' house as you call it is only like five minutes away" "yeah but I want you to meet some people" "of course you do, okay let me get my jacket" Rosie looked at herself in the mirror, she was wearing, a light pink dress, that showed a lot of cleavage, it wasn't her first choice but Angel had her way with persuasion, she got her denim jacket and walked over to Angel, "I'm driving because I don't drink" "deal I can drink all I want now" "don't throw up in my car and I'm cool, also be a bit responsible, seriously I want you to be alive tomorrow" "I'll be fine, I'm not a light weight" "yeah okay" they laughed and walked down the hall, the house was nice and it was oddly quiet for a party spot, "Okay, so, I want you to have fun,

but if you leave early that's okay too, I know these things aren't really your scene" "thanks Angel" Angel was already knocking on the door, "Okay, okay I'm coming stop it already!" A tall olive skinned male with dark hair and equally as dark eyes appeared at the door, "hey, Angel and friend" "Caden, this is Rosa" "hey" "nice to meet you Caden" "yeah whatever, come on in some of the others are here" Caden walked into the house and disappeared, "don't mind him, he's like that to everyone, actually he was nicer to you then the rest of us, I think he likes you" Rosie rolled her eyes and followed Angel into the house shutting the door behind her,
