Chapter 3

Rosalie's POV

“A certain situation can change things in a way you never imagine...”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Let's go, I already prepared the dinner downstairs." she softly spoke while massaging my shoulders.

"I... I'm not really hungry, Martha." I murmured, and I heard her sighed from behind me.

"But you need to eat something, dear." she stops massaging my shoulders and walks in front of me with soft but pleading eyes. I sighed and slowly nodded my head.

"Okay, fine." she smiles and claps her hands.

"Great! I cook your favorite food." I smile and begin to stand up.

"Lily is coming over, I'm sure she'll going to eat it all." she laughs and opens the door.

"Oh, yes, we're lucky enough because I cook a large amount of it. I feel like adding more will be needed, and my consumption is right." she laughs.

We both walks out of my room and the sound of the door closing immediately reached my hearing.

"Well, I guess it's her," I stated while walking down the stairs, with her in front of me. Martha chuckles.

"Who else?"

"Hi, sister!" Lily's loud squeals echo in the apartment.

I sighed and waved at her smiling slightly and finally reaching the end of the stairs, with Martha already in the kitchen.

"Hey, Lily, how are you?" I greeted but she deadpans at me.

"Cut the crap Rosie, you don't have to pretend to be happy when you're with me." I chuckle and pretend to look confused.

"What are you talking about?" I look around and begin to walk towards the dining room.

I saw Martha already putting the plates, spoons, and other things on the table. I walked towards her.

"Can I help?" I asked and she quickly shakes her head and smile a little. I think I will not get anything to do because of my condition but I am not disabled, for goddess sake!

"No, dear. Just sit there and let me handle this." I sighed and nodded already walking towards my seat.

Lily sit beside me and put her phone above the table, luckily, Martha already walked towards the kitchen. She lightly nudges my feet causing me to raise an eyebrow at her.

"Rosalie, I know that I can't and will never understand what you're feeling right now; unless I got diagnose to but, please, don't shut me out, don't push us away." she pleaded with soft and desperate eyes.

"I am not pushing you guys away. I just, I need space to think." I look down at the table with furrow eyebrows.

"Space? For what?" she asked and I roll my eyes. I thought she was the one that would understand about them giving me space because she knows that all too well esp when she is the number drama Queen that I know but I guess not.

"I need to think and swallow the truth, Lily. Can you give me that? Will you understand if-"

"If you don't talk to us for a month or a year. No, Rosalie, I don't understand that at all." I narrow my eyes at her and she raised an eyebrow like asking if she says something wrong.

"It's not that, Lily. What I'm saying is, will you understand if I-"

"Don't tell me that you're going to kill yourself, Rosalie? I once promise that I will always support you but not this. I'm sorry but I can't understand that." I glare at her but she just shrugs like what she said is right.

"Will you shut up! I am not going to kill myself. I am asking if you understand-"

"Don't-"

"SHUT THE FUDGE UP, LILY! AND LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE OR I WILL SKIN YOU ALIVE IF YOU DON'T LET ME FINISH!" I scream in annoyance and she immediately shut up.

"I just want to ask if you will understand if I am absent a few days of school because I don't want to be in the crowd." I sighed in frustration. She blinks and just stares at me for a minute.

"Is that all?"

"Yes," I hissed in tiredness. She nodded and shrugs her shoulder.

"Okay, fine." I sighed.

"Hey girls, I just wait for a little. I am just going to call Vivian to join us." Martha said and walked out of the dining room.

"Okay." Lily and I said in unison.

I patiently tap my fingers on the table while mumbling a song. She suddenly stands up and pushes back the chair.

"I will be back," I look at her confused.

"Where are you going?" she pointed towards the door using her thumb.

"The bathroom is calling me," she said and then run quickly towards the door. I sighed and stare blankly at the table.

I wonder how's my life will be after knowing that I only have a few months to live. Will I drop out and rest here? I don't need to go to school because I will not be needing it 'cause I will be gone anyway.

Lily's phone suddenly light ups catching my attention. I roll my eyes, probably some jocks. I grab her phone and was about to turn it off when something catches my eye.

Roger Smith is with Ev...

It's a f*******: notification and that is my father's name. I didn't know that she is still friends with him. I swipe up and thankfully, Lily hates passwords, so she doesn't have any passwords on her phone, but the account passwords are exceptional.

I clicked the notification and wait until it shows the picture. My eyes widen and I put my hands to cover my mouth.

The picture is of my father with a girl with black hair and black eyes. She is tall like him and also fit. But what's caught my attention is the way they cling to each other and his hands are wrapped around her waist. The girl is smiling while holding her hands to show the engagement ring on her finger.

It says, feeling blessed with Eva Dixon with heart emoji.

No, no, this isn't real. Please let it be a nightmare because I am sure that even if they are divorced, my father still loves my mom. He can't marry someone that easily.

No, please!

I feel my tears slowly fall from my eyes and down to my cheeks while still covering my mouth to not let out a sob.

I can't accept this bullcrap

How would my mother react to this? I feel like I want to kill the girl that's holding my father's arms. What's her name again? Eva Dixon?

"Hey, Rosalie. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Martha asked. I look at her and saw that she's with my mother and now walking towards me with concern and confused expression.

"Is something w-"

I stand up and slammed the phone on the table and run out of the dining room with my tears still falling freely.

"Oh, Rosalie. What-" I ignore Lily who's just got out of the bathroom and continue to run as fast as I can. Ignoring all their calls. When I'm finally out if the house, I immediately look for my mom's car. Luckily, my mother left the car keys to me earlier and I still have them.

I entered the car and starts it, driving to God knows where.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Ahhhh!, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I GIVE UP!" I shouted as loud as I can before no one can hear me here.

I am standing on a cliff, staring at the busy city in front of me. Strong wind is harshly slamming on me causing my hair to fly in every direction.

"Why? Why me?" I whispered as my tears slowly falls while staring at the sky. "What did I do wrong to disserve this so much pain?"

My heart is clenching and glare at the sky, like asking too good to answer me, but all I can hear is the sounds of my sobs.

I fall to my knees and hug it, looking down again.

"Why don't you just take my life now?" I whispered. I think I am going to break and I feel the urge to jump here at the cliff and die. But doing that will only cause my mom to more paint and I can't take that.

But sometimes I wonder, what if I just end this pathetic life of mine? If I die I can no longer feel the pain, the guilt, and the sadness that's been eating me, so why don't I just end it? But when I think that, an answer immediately crossed my mind.

Because I can't be selfish

And besides, ending my life will make me a coward and Rosalie Wright is never a coward. I am a fighter, my mom will always say.

"Here," a husky voice said from beside me. I sniff and slowly raised my head feeling confused.

The beating of my heart only increases its pace as I feel myself froze while looking at the man in front of me.

He is not looking at me but looking forward at the busy city in front of us but the handkerchief is pointing at me, so I guess it's for me.

I stare at his hands and up to his body and finally his face. My eyes widen when I saw his face.

Holy cow

It's none other than the famous bad boy, William Kessler!
