Chapter 7
Aaron's POV
"Jesus Aaron, You Messed Up. " Dean was Still with Rosie and Damon was on his way back. Jared And Mark Are both in the clubhouse waiting until Damon got back. Here i was pacing back and forth.
Jared was texting Chris so she was all caught up. She did say over the phone that she and Dean would make a cute couple which aggravated me even more.
"Dude whatever, all i know is how do i fix it?" Causing both Mark and Jared to laugh hysterically. I gave them a very bored expression but they continued to laugh.
" I'm glad i can amuse you both" i rolled my eyes and started to leave.
"Ay! get her some flowers, maybe your punishment wont be as severe!" Mark yelled as i was closing the door, Jared that dumb a*s was still laughing.
"You both are dumb asses. " I shook my head and left. Moments later Damon pulled up. Him and Rosie's dad both.
"Where are you going?" Damon seemed okay but his face was starting to bruise up a bit. Not to mention Rosie's dad was also looked the same.
"What the hell happened to you?"
"Dont worry about it! but in the meantime i dont want you or Dean to leave this house "
"What do you mean?"
"Dont ask questions! just do as i say."
"Nah bro, you have to tell me whatsup."
"I aint saying s**t. I gotta protect the both of you. So dont ask questions and do as i say!"
"I'm outta here!"
Rosies dad was in front of me preventing me to leave.
"And why are you here?"
"Your brothers right, maybe you should here him out first"
"And why arent you with Rosie? I am the least of your worries right now. "
"s**t! i gotta go but talk to Damon, he'll explain."
I walked upstairs towards Damon's office. I walked in.
"Whats going on Damon?"
" Tonight we met up with Dray. s**t went out of control and well they stated shooting. One of Kalebs people got hit."
"Oh s**t. So how did Kaleb end up coming back with you?"
"After everything that went down dray, dipped. Kaleb had to get back without anyone seeing him so i suggested he roll up with me."
"This is why I didn't want you or Dean involved. Look little hermano, I am doing this to protect you and I kept you from this s**t for so long because you and Dean dont need the life i was raised up in."
" Damon i know about this life, I know the consequences about living this life. The constant fear of getting killed."
" I know, but there's many things that you and Dean don't know and that's how i wanna keep it. I want you guys to do whatever the hell you guys want to do. Not stay stuck here like me."
"So what do I need to do." Aside from Damon's serious talk he managed to throw in something to lighten up the tension.
"First, Go make it up to Rosie."
"Wait how did yo-"
"Mark and Jared created a group chat. So much gossip" I really wanna kill them both.
"Look Aaron, Kaleb is not already your biggest fan but he knows you're a good kid. And to be fair everyone knows how you feel about her. So go win her heart and if you can don't mess it up. You make our family look bad, But no pressure."
"Gee thanks"
I walked out of Damon's office and walked into my room. I pulled out my phone and reread the messages that Rosie and I had sent to one another earlier last week.
"Hey?" I messaged her and after a couple minutes without getting a response i grabbed my keys and made my way to her house.

Rosie's POV
" And then i fell through the floor and well that's how i got this scar- Rosie? Are you even listening?"
"hmm? oh sorry. I didnt mean to be rude."
"Rosie? dont let my brothers words get to you. Once he loosens up a bit you might find him somewhat tolerable."
"No it's not that. I've handled a couple of mean words back in New York."
"Why did you move back from New York? If you dont mind me asking?"
"Well mainly because mom wanted to move back here. Dad has his company there but he mostly worked at home rather than the company. I spent most of my time Either in my moms hospital or my dads company."
"Do you Miss New York,?"
"No, it never really felt like home. Actually to be completely honest, it hasn't felt like home ever since I was little and my parents companies started booming."
" What's It Like? Being an heiress?"
I looked up at him and the question Kinda stumbled me. Aside from the high expectations and well the amount of stress from both companies. I actually didnt know what it felt like. Imprisonment is more the term.
"Sorry, That was rude and none of my business. Forget I asked." He chuckled embarrassingly.
"That's alright, " I brushed him off so he maybe won't ask more questions
Ding!
Almost instantly Dean reaches for his phone to check who texted him.
"Hm that wasn't me"
Well it certainly wasn't me! I thought.
"Rosie maybe it's your phone."
"I don't think so," he grabbed my phone from my dresser and handed it to me.
"Hey? " The message read. Even more specifically it was from Aaron.
"It's from Aaron.." I said and Dean seemed to be thinking about something.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Were you expecting someone?"
"No, Not- "
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Okay whoever this person is, they are very impatient. Stay behind me Rosie"
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Dean, i'm scared"
"Dont worry, whoever it is, wont be able to hurt you."
we crept around the corner and we took a side of the door. You could see the person through the glass frame on the front door but it want clear.
"Okay i'm gonna look through the peephole so you stay there. If anything happens i need you to run somewhere close."
"Okay."
Dean had a bat close to him and steadily looked through the peephole. I'm pretty sure that you could hear my heartbeat. I looked at Dean to make sure i didn't miss the signal to run if it came down to that but after what felt like eternity i see Deans facial features start to relax.
"What? Who is it?" I whispered.
"See for yourself"
I looked through the peephole and i saw a bruised up Aaron.
"Oh my god Aaron! what happened to you?"
"Rosie! thank god you're okay."
"Yeah why wouldn't i be?"
"Well you took forever to open the door. I thought something might've happened"
"um Okay then. So what brings you here?" I saw Dean still standing by the door, arms folded across and he had a bored look on his face.
"I am here actually because" He glanced at Dean and then back at me
"Because your dad told me to keep an eye on you. Make sure you're okay and that you haven't burned the house down yet."
" uh okay. I mean he could've just texted or called. No need to send for you"
"Can we talk?" I looked over at Dean and so did Aaron,
"I mean alone." Dean walked towards the kitchen passing us along the way.
"Let's go up to the library." i motioned down the hallway passing the den.
"So?"
" I wanted to say I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said and I know you don't believe me but I just find the words whenever I talk to you."
"I forgive you." i mumbled.
"you do?" i nodded my head and he beamed a bright smile. We walked out of the library to find dean in the kitchen making himself a sandwich.
"So is everything good?" Dean asked looking up briefly to look at us. Unfortunately he made a huge mess just from making one stinkin sandwich.
"Oh sorry i will clean this up afterwards"
"i'm feeling a little tired i'm gonna head up to bed" i said to dean and i turned to Aaron to ask him to leave. I was not used to having this many people in my house. I know it is only the three of us but it can be a little overwhelming.
"So um i guess i'll see you at school on Monday?" I turned around and saw both boys settled on the couch watching reruns of Fresh Prince.
I walked closer to them and gave them both a confused look.
"You didnt seriously think we were gonna leave you here alone when you're dad isnt here?"
"Um last time i checked i dont need a babysitter."
"We know but from how we were raised we wouldnt leave a girl home alone."
I let that process in my head and well i guess they can be like the brothers i never had. Of course i couldnt let them know that.
"Oh uh okay then" i could not be more awkward.
I walked towards the closet where it had extra blankets and grabbed two along with some pillows.
I left them on the edge of the sofa and made my way upstairs to my room.
I heard my phone ring and i grabbed it to find no incoming call. i immediately walked towards the drawer and opened it slowly.
The phone stop ringing but then messages started popping up. I knew better than to look at them.
"You're Dead When I FInd You Next!!!"
"Go Die!"
"You're worthless, ugly, and a w***e!"
I knew better than to read but i kept reading. I really am stupid. I grabbed my phone and called my mom.
Ring Ring Ring
"Hello?" Her background was loud.
"Hey mama"
"Hey sweetie! is everything okay?"
"Yeah mom i wanted t- Oh sorry sweetie i have to go can i call you tomorrow morning?"
I knew she would listen. She didnt back in New York either.
"Yeah mom,- ( Line disconnected)
"Love you"
The messages kept going and the sound started to echo in my head. I covered my ears then i knew i was hyperventilating.
I walked into the bathroom and grabbed the razor. I needed to end this pain. God it hurt so bad. I started to cut when my door opened.
"Rosi- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Aaron rushed in and took the razors out of my hand.
"GIVE IT BACK!" i Cried.
"GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT BACK! I WANNA DIE ALREADY PLEASE I JUST WANNA DIE!" i cried. Aaron held me in his arms.
"Hey hey it's okay rosie, you are okay."
I cried into his arms and he held me and never eased his firm grip he held me and patted m back whispering comforting words.
I calmed down but i was so exhausted that i ended up falling asleep. Aaron still held me and rocked me back and forth. Then he whispered in my ear. Just barley loud enough to hear.
"I cant lose you babygirl. Dont leave me please amor."
