Tied Forever

Chapter 3

Rose,

We are on our way. But we want only one thing from you in which we need your help. In three hours I am going to pick you up at the university.

Be ready!

When she received this message she smiled at it with joy. She missed them a lot after they left it was not the same. Now that the two were back the group was complete again.

"What are you smiling for?" Hearing his voice gave her a feeling that she had never felt before which made her fear it. She did not know how to react when she first heard his voice it was like hypnotizing her.

For a few seconds, she didn't react to answer him. She raised her had to look at him if it was him or if she was just imagining.

"Did you think it was for you? Then to your disappointment, it is not." Why was this girl always acting like that to him?

Every other girl would be happy if he would talk to them.

He could not stand it when she was acting cold towards him and was not interested either.

"It is not often to see you here in the library. Instead of having girls circled in your arm, you have a book in your hand."

She told him the fact of her observation that she had seen so far. She was amazed to see any book in his hand.

"Are you trying to mess with me!" He got a bit angry about what she said.

"Nope." She plopped the "p" loudly.

"I am just stating." She devoted herself to her tasks.

Tyler saw that Rose was working on the joint project.

She was very hardworking in her academics.

"I have an idea about the theme of our assignment and I want to hear your thoughts about it."

With that Tyler had her attention fully. She was curious about his idea.

Even though he looked like a bad boy he was still a good student when it came to his academics.

"Tell me. I am hearing." Rose propped her head on her hand.

She looked at him deeply and carefully.

"So, the theme about the assignment is to find a trend that..." He kept telling her the whole concept of the idea.

She listened to him while they were focused on the preparation for the project, Tyler started to ring.

He looked at the caller ID. "Cole." He just said that and listened to what Cole was talking to him.

Rose started to put her things in her bag when she got a message.

I'm there. Where are you?

Rose: I'm coming.

Tyler saw Rose packing up her things in a hurry. She picked up her bag and took her laptop in her hand.

Then went on the way but was stopped by a hand on her wrist.

She put the rings on the hand she was holding. Then looked up at Tyler and raised an eyebrow as a question.

"Where are you going? We are not done!" He was annoyed that she was leaving without saying anything to him.

"Sorry, I have to go." She was in a hurry still looking at the watch on her phone.

He finished his call with Cole quickly then took his two books and his notebook.

Rose knew that she had to do this project with that jerk but she wished that she could do that with someone else.

Why did they have to do this project with the senior students?

It didn't make any sense to her. What were both lecturers thinking by that?

She put these thoughts aside and also she couldn't change anything anymore.

Rose did not give him a glance when she left in a hurry.

Her mind was somewhere else right now. She was blissful to see that person again.

Tyler also left the library after her a few seconds later.

He went to the clubhouse of K4 where the other three boys were waiting for him. He didn't like Rose.

On the contrary, he hated her. She got on his nerves.

Her personalities were not what she was showing to others.

She was acting. Acting to be genuine and innocent.

What he didn't realize was that he had already fallen for her without Rose having to have fun.

She already charmed him being just herself without trying to get his attention.

He tried to think of something else than that girl. It was enough that he had to do a project with her.

Luckily it was my last year in the university then I would not see her again, he thought.

Never would he thought that his life would change from this day onwards.

At the entrance of the university, a handsome boy leaning on his car was waiting for her.

His sunglass was covering his eyes which was making his appearance not recognizable as a celebrity plus his outfit was different from his usual clothing.

"Jordan!" She exclaimed out of joy. She hugged him while he did the same.

"Ro!" He, Rina, and Sky were the only ones who were calling her like that.

It was a special Nickname that was only allowed by close ones.

They parted from each other and went into the car.

"Tired much?" Exhausted from the day she just nodded as an answer.

On the way home, he told her what happened so far since he came home.

Jordan was a big brother to her who would protect his little sister.

He, Rina, Rose, Sky, and Sienna stuck together since high school so it was normal for them to spend time like they always did.

People from the outside would think that he was enjoying his time with some pretty girl to kill time and to have more news about him to get more famous even then.

When he was talking about the situation with his mother a dark shadow was appearing on his face.

Whenever he was talking about his mother he was dissatisfied with her action to put him together with someone he was not in love with.

That was always a problem with rich people they were trying to marry off their children for their sakes like for business, for their benefits, or other reasons.

"She is still against your relationship with her." Determined from the information that she found out.

"Don't you worry? If anything is gonna happen I and the others are by your side." She ensured him of her support for their relationship.

She was always shipping Jordan and his girlfriend's romance. Even though both of them were famous.

At home, Rose was in her room in the apartment that she was sharing with some other students who were also scholarship students like her.

Getting ready to go to bed when someone was knocking on my window.

She jumped in fear because someone knocked on the window.

She looked out the window and saw who was there.

She looked questioningly at the window where the person at the fire stairs was standing.

When she got to the window, she saw who it was.

Skylar?

Why was she here?

In this hour?

Something did have to happen at home. She pushed her window up.

"Sky?! What happened?" Whispering to Sky.

Rose got worried about the state of her close friend.

From that angle, she saw a bag full of clothes. It looked like Sky had packed her most important things and left without anyone getting wind of it. Sighed.

"Come in." Taking Skys bag she put it in the corner of her room.

She climbed into her room through the window. Silence enveloped the room.

Nobody said anything, just received some PJs from Rose that she often used when she was sleepover by her when she couldn't stand her home.

"Tell me tomorrow." That was the last thing she said to her before going to sleep.

Saying nothing to Rose she was lying next to her and drifted slowly into a deep slumber.

Her mind was confused by all the things that were going on right now.

Both girls were sleeping when Skylar's phone was vibrating in the middle of the night.

No one in the room was noticing it during their deep slumber.

The Person on the other side of the phone was none other than her boyfriend.

He was worried about her because of the things that had happened tonight at the dinner with their parents.

Getting anxious that she was not answering the call.

Maybe he was exaggerated getting worried for not reaching her.

Maybe she was sleeping or she was getting ready to sleep off the whole dinner fiasco. The thought of them made him angry.

He put the thoughts aside and decided to sleep because tomorrow was also a day. He would call her again tomorrow.

It was better to sleep on it for a day. Without noticing, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning He woke up and started to get ready. Also, he set his mind on to realize the idea had a long time ago after coming back from abroad.

He decided it but was stopped by his mother and her mother's sister, Davina Donovan. She was always against his relationship with his girlfriend.

That biatch was trying to sabotage his relationship because she wanted her daughter to marry him.

That would only be in her dreams. He would never do anything that would make him unhappy.

Since he came back he started secretly packing his things without his parent's notice. Now everything was already in his new apartment that he secretly brought.

"Not long and I can leave this God damn place." He always hated his home.

His mom and dad were living in the same house but that was the only thing nothing else.

Most of his things were left in this room because his mother out little cameras to monitor him if he was with Sky or not.

She never liked Sky the reason that she always gave him was that she did not fit the family.

The typical thought of high society.

Taking a shower first then getting ready after that he could leave the house for good.

Even if his mother would try any of her tricks to get him back, he would never come back to this home again.

He swore to himself that he would never leave her no matter whatever would go to happen.

With that, he left the house without saying or leaving any note.

He went to his car. Started the engine and drove away without looking back.

In Rose's room, the two girls were still sleeping. The sun began to shine through the room whose light began to dazzle them, which slowly woke both of them up.

Slowly they came to after they had blinked a few times they got used to the brightness in the room.

Rose looked next to her other side of the bed. There on the side of the bed was Sky who blinked a few times.

"Good morning." She made noises to get Sky's attention.

Looking at Rose she did not say anything at first also she was quiet for a long time before she said something.

"Good morning."

In this state, she was in Rose knew that Sky would not talk that much.

It would not help Sky or herself if she forces Sky to tell her everything.

So she decided that it would be better that she would let her be for now.

Getting out of her bed she went to the kitchen to make some coffee.

Still sleepy she was making coffee when she got a call.

Without looking at the ID caller she took the call.

"Hello."

Her sleepy was the answer to the caller that she was not fully awake.

"Ro!" Said a man's voice on the phone. For a minute she couldn't recognize his voice.

Finally, it dawned on her who it was.

"Jordan! Sorry! I got up right now. I couldn't recognize your voice for a moment."

Still talking with her sleepy voice.

"Did Sky contact you?"

Rose didn't know what to say more exactly should she say that Sky was here or not.

Sometimes she felt trapped between the two of them whenever something happened through their relationship at home.

Before she could even talk to him the phone in her hand was taken from her.

She turned her head to her side to see Sky having her phone in Sky's hand.

Holding the phone in her ear.

"It's me."

Her voice was simple yet emotionless.

"I almost died in worry to reach you! What do you think of making me so worried, Sky!"

Jordan was very upset about Skys. Quite naturally.

"I just wanted to give us some time to process yesterday evening. You know that it wasn't easy with our parents."

He sighed for a moment. Knowing that she was right nevertheless he did not want to admit defeat.

"So you're giving up on us?!" He couldn't believe that Sky was giving up on their relationship so easily after they went through up and downs.

"Is it that easy for you t...." he was cut off from Sky rapidly that he did not get the chance to finish what he wanted to say.

"Shut up and listen to me!" That shocked him.

"I'm not someone that gives up so easily as others would do or in the series that I always played. This is real-life Jordan. And there are ways consequences for our decision."

She was like screaming at him on the phone as if he was standing right in front of her.

Rose put her hand on Sky's left shoulder.

Sky knew that her bestie was giving her, her support to the both of them.

"Babe, I know what you want to say. But don't forget that it is our life, not their life. They don't have any right to decide for us. We aren't little anymore like we used to be. So, I spoke with Rose that we should have breakfast together."

Sky was thinking for a moment about what he said.

She knew that she was worrying too much right now but she was also afraid of what would happen if Mrs. Anderson finds out that was the one thing that they were planning to do.

But she would never give up her love relationship with Jordan.

One thing was sure that she loved with all of her heart.

"Ok. Let's have breakfast. I missed you last night" he confessed to her.

It never ceased to amaze Sky how she was always attracted to him.

With every argument, reconciliation, time for herself, with ups and downs in their relationships, she fell more and more in love with him, just as he kept falling in love with her.

"Ok." She was shy for the moment because she screamed at him and also she didn't how to respond to him when he was sweet to her.

Someone who was standing right next to her smirked at Sky's behavior, which she found kind of cute when her best friend was acting like a teenager who is madly in love with her first love.

Rose took her phone back from Sky then talked to Jordan. when Sky left the kitchen to get ready.

"She's getting ready, lover boy." Jordan didn't miss the attitude of her voice.

"What does that supposed to be mean, Ro. I know the tone of your voice when you always say it like that!"

Oh boy! He got a little mad but he knew the behavior of her plus she loved to tease him a bit.

"Get ready you're coming too. Don't be late," before she could even say anything Jordan ended the call.
