What a Fairytale

Chapter 12: History

***ZACK POV***

After Jessica slapped Rose, she looked me dead in the eye "Take your girlfriend and go Zack" she says, grabbing Jessie's hand and storming out. "What the actual f**k Jessica?" I ask, a frown evident on my face. "I'm sorry Zacky, but I can't let her touch what is mine" She sighs. I probably have a big question mark on my face right now. "We're not together anymore Jessica. Especially not after what you've done" I turn around to leave with Max at my heels "Zack, we're not done talking. Please just give me another chance" I ignore her pleas and just keep walking.

Max and I go back to my apartment to wait for the club to open up. I need something, or rather someone to help me get rid of todays horrid fiasco.

"What the hell is her problem man? you guys broke up months ago. By now I would've thought she would have someone else on top of her" Max says, shaking his head. I walk to the fridge to get us some beers "Yeah well, neither you nor me knows if she does have someone or not" I say taking a swig of my beer. "All I'm saying is, she should just get the f**k away from you. She has done enough" I only nod my head in agreement. "Listen man, what's your plan with Rose?" Max asks, giving me the side eye. I already know where he's going with this and I'm not in the mood for it. "I don't want to talk about it" I take another swig of my beer, emptying the bottle. "Just don't f**k it up man, you've got a good job with a good person. She went through enough with the ex husband and all" he warns.

Around 9pm we head out to the club. I give the bouncer a jenerous tip to let us in, everyone behind the line groaning and making a commotion. He just waves them off and lets us in. We walk towards the bar and slowly scope out the competition. "Hey Mack, two beers please" he nods and gets the beers for us. "So, who's on the menu for tonight?" Max asks, leaning against the bar. Since Jessica I haven't been in a relationship. She made sure to ruin that for me. I loved her, I loved her a hell of a lot. I bought her flowers and jewelry every now and then, took her to nice restaurants, treated her like a princess. Then she betrayed me. After that it was girl after girl after girl. I lost count later on. s*x was my safe haven, get in and get out. That's the motto. Rose is beautiful, very sexy. I wouldn't mind having her for the night. The make out session we shared the other night was amazing. But she is my partner, a bit full of sh*t. Very sassy, she definitely likes to give me an ear full. But my partner none the less. I don't think we'd make a good couple in all honesty, friends yeah, f**k buddies, definitely. "Hey man, what about her?" Max asks pointing to a girl on the dance floor. Long brunette hair, short dress, looks like her ass cheeks might pop out any minute. She has a beautiful round face, thin lips and a pointy nose. Not my kind of girl, but you never know what a few shots of tequila could do. "Yeah maybe, lets look around a little more first" I suggest.

At 1am in the morning, we're probably 10 shots on, maybe even 15 shots. I lost count after 5, we're drunk off our rockets by now and still haven't found anyone interesting. We've given up and went home. I somewhat showered and somewhat got dressed for bed, I might have forgotten a few important clothing items, but atleast I'm safe in bed. I have a quick look at my phone before going to sleep-

"I'm not going to be at work on Monday, will only see you Tuesday" - Rose

"Whyyy nottt?? :)" - Me

"It's personal." -Rose

"Aww, I also wannaa knowwww Rosy Wosy:)" -Me

"Are you drunk?" -Rose

"Maybeee, whyyy? you wanna come cuddle with me? ;)" -Me

Silence....

I drop the phone onto my chest and stare at the ceiling, maybe I shouldn't have answered the text till I was certain that I'm sober.

"No." -Rose

I look at the text abd smile. Deciding not to say anything further.

"Hey baby, I'm outside your door ;)" -Jessica

Ughh, what the hell does she want. I debate if I should just ignore it and go to sleep or stand up and see what she wants.

"Open the door hun, I got a surprise for youuu" -Jessica

Is this b***h drunk? I stand up and walk to the door, looking through the peephole at her. She laying with her weight against the wall for support with a half empty jack daniels bottle in her hand. I face palm myself before opening the door just a crack, luckily the chain on the door is still there, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't open the door wider without closing it first. "What do you want?" I ask her, annoyed beyond belief. "I wanna get laid, duhh" She said, giving me a wide drunken smile "Well, go to the guys you cheated on me with" her smile falters and she stands up a little straighter, seems like she's forgotten why we broke up in the first place. "I did no such thing" she says with a straight face "Yes you definitely did, that's why we broke up. Now run off you little sk**k before I throw you out myself" With that I shut the door in her face "F**k you Zack, you'll regret ever leaving me!" was the last thing I heard before I turned the corner and went back to bed.

***ROSEMARY POV***

After the drama at the cafe, Jess and I left to pick up Bella earlier than intended. I really needed my girl right now. "Hey mom, is it okay if I take Bella home now?" I ask, my mother has that worried look on her face, probably noticed the red on my lip. "Hey Mrs V, long time no see. How are you?" Jess greets my mother, coming to the rescue. My mother's face lights up instantly, she has always loved Jessie, always said she is her second daughter and my little sister. "Jess hun, I've been good how about you? Come in, come in, have some cake and tee. I baked your favorite" Jess and I look at eachother before saying in unison "Chocolate cake with sprinkles?" now it was our faces that lit up loke children at Christmas.

We ate, laughed and talked for a frw hours. I really did miss my parents. How they were when I was a kid. "So Rosey, what're you going to do when John's released?" my father ask in his 'I'm serious so you better have a good and serious answer' tone. "Jess is busy creating something for me that will make sure he never gets to see Bella, or have anything to do with her or me" I answer proudly. "And you're studying to be a lawyer Jess?" he asks, "Yes Sir, I am a month away from graduating a year before my class" She says, puffing out her chest. My dad gives her a bright smile "You've always been so smart and good at arguing, I'm proud of you. I'm especially proud of you rosey, taking on an entire hotel. Running it brilliantly" He smiles at us, proud tears rimming his eyes. We chat for a little while longer untik it is tikke for us to go. Ping

"Who could that be?" Jess asks, I only shrug my shoulder at her and look at my phone. My face paling instantly, looking like I just saw a ghost. "What wrong sweetheart?" my mother asks. My mouth only opens and closes. No words leaving it.
