Rose's POV

The finally came when Brad is going to go back to college, I was unhappy but he promised me he was going to call me at least 3times daily and he would try to come check on me once every two weeks. And guess what he said I could visit him in his hostel too. That totally made me happy. I was learning to live each day without my dad. But I knew eventually everything is going to be alright, that was my mantra and it kept me going. So he left in the evening and I went back to my not normal life.

The day of graduation was fast approaching and Brad was going to graduate in a year time, I already appiled for a fashion designing course at his college and he said we could be room mates that his room mate was graduating that year, I was super excited. Mom was finally coming to terms about dad's death its been 4 months now. She was now bonding with and spending more time with me at home, we were now having mother and daughter time together and we told each other about our day. So one Saturday particular night when we were watching "the old guard" I had been thinking about what I wanted to say now about a month ago. Mom she faced me and said, yes baby. I suddenly blurted out, you should move on, she squinted her eyes and raised one of her eyesbrow and she she was moving on, then I said youshouldstartdatingagain, on a fast pace. Rose darling why don't you say what you said again, this time a little bit slower.

Mom you should start dating again, I dont want you to be unhappy forever and I know dad would want the same thing for you too. She smiled and said she would think about it, I pecked her cheeks and said she deserves to be happy, I then left for my room I was already feeling sleepy anyways.

On the day of my graduation My mom came so did Bed and his dad Mike, they were there for me took pictures with me. made my day.

On the day I resumed college, mom dropped me at my hostel, Brad was not there to receive me he said he was busy, I don't bother anyways since I would see him when he came back he already told me the room number, when I got the room and opened the door, the sight that welcomed me was heart wrenching. Brad was sprawled on the floor half naked with two blonde bimbos on both side. When I called out to him, he just grinned madly and passed out again, I dropped my bags and went out of our dorm to clear my head, I was already crying. I was thinking why did he have to do this to me, then I reasoned he was not aware of my feeling for him. I stopped walking when I reached a cafe, i ordered snacks and coffee, I brought out my phone and called my high school friend, she already left for paris I told her about what I saw when I got to Brad's room, she adviced me to stay away from him and focus on my studies, she also said I should reduce our contact to a minimum. That if he greets me I should respond cheerfully, but I should give him room to mess up my head by acting all sweet to me, that it was more or less like he was leading me on, and I agreed with her it was a good idea and dropped the call.

When I had gathered enough courage to face him, I left the cafe to our dorm. when I got there he was lying on his bed, the blondes were gone. I decided to unpack my things and get settled, when I was done I undressed and went to shower, when I was done I wore my PJ's and gave in to sleep due to exhaustation from crying.

Later the following morning he woke before me and left our dorm room leaving me a note saying he was sorry for his behavior the other night, I just rolled my eyes. I stood up strong and I was looking forward to a new day in college I hope I make good friends on my first day.
