Chapter 26

In case you guys forget, Kyle's real name is William Jones.

|Rose's P.O.V|

My mouth shuts close as I think about it. Is it really his son? "We don't exactly....know that."

"But it's possible." She grits, shoving back my phone.

"Look, lets just calm down. First of all, you're not even considered a couple ye-"

"He asked me out yesterday." She cuts me, looking everywhere but my face.

I blink for a few seconds. "...What?" I stare at her, wanting to hear those words again. Instead, she remained silent. "How long have you two been seeing each other exactly?" I grit out.

"Well...Maybe once or twice..." She fiddles with her fingers.

"Laura." I snap, crossing my arms.

"Okay, so maybe a few times a day for a couple of days but I didn't know how serious we were. I thought he just wanted to be friends with benefits," She shrugs. "Clearly that wasn't the case..."

"And you never told me!?"

"You never liked to hear how delicious my prey were anyways!" She argues back.

I scoff, rolling my eyes. "Prey? You make it seem like life is some sort of hunt for survival. Let me guess, you're the apex predator in the male 'food chain'?"

"You could say that." She shrugs, handing me over a box of half eaten pizza.

"MY DELICIOUSNESS!" I exclaim happily, devouring the remaining slices of heaven.

"So, whilst you're eating away like some....starved teenaged boy, I have come up with a few ideas on how to find out who this little kid really is."

"Mhmm."

"So, we gonna drag Dylan to a dark alley with a blindfold on and change our voices and accents so he doesn't know who we are and threaten to hurt his son if he doesn't say where he hid our 'cash'. If he goes all defensive and not deny the fact that it is in fact his son, then we'd know for sure that the little devil is a produce of some walking slut that has probably decided to leave him since he's obviously dating me. Afte-"

"OR... " I cut through her ridiculous plan. "We could just ask him."

Laura stares at me long and hard. "That was plan Z."

"No! Stop being unrealistic!"

"I am being realistic! It's just that my plan involves a little more creativity than your plain old boring one!" She replies sassily.

Plain? Old? Boring?  At least my plan is an actual, normal and sensible plan! "Have you seen the mountain of muscle on his arms! We'd be lucky if we could come as close to poking his arm without him going ninja on us."

"Oh don't exaggerate! He's as sweet and harmless as a fly." She laughs, waving me off.

"A single fly carries approximately over thirty different diseases. They seem pretty deadly to me."

She stares at me silently, unable to say anything. "Can you not attack me with your weird facts?"

"I was just saying. Besides, they do say; Knowledge is power."

"Hello Daisy, I was wondering if you could help me find my way back to my dorm." The newbie, Alec, asks with a permanent smirk on his irritable handsome face. I was currently sitting in the west wing common room where I was enjoying my reading time in peace.

"Listen here newbie," I lower my voice and narrow my eyes at him . "It's Rose. Okay? You got that, Rose. Let me spell it for you, R-O-S-E. Not freaking Lily or Daisy or whatever." I snap. He only stares with an amused look. "And by the way, that is the lamest pick up line ever. You've been here long enough to know where your dorm is."

He chuckles and runs a hand through his hair. "You're a smart cute thing, Jasmine."

"I give up!" I angrily throw my hands up, a look of disbelief on my face.

"Whats going on here?" Malcolm disturbs, eyeing the newbie suspiciously.

"Hi, I'm Alec." He smiles, shaking Malcolm's hand.

"Why hello there. I am-" Malcolm starts with a grin.

"No one cares!" I interrupt, breaking their connected hands after noticing Alec staring at it oddly.

Great, he's scaring the newbie.

"Get dressed tulip, we're going out to watch a movie and eat ice cream." Alec says, running a hand through his hair, showing off his perfectly white teeth.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" I question raising an eyebrow.

"I think it was more of a command," Malcolm scoffs, crossing his arms. "He didn't even say please!"

Maybe this was another chance to start fresh. Maybe if I date him, Kyle would stop kissing me without my consent. Maybe I could have fun with him, I mean he seems like a nice guy.

Ignoring Mal, I answer. "Sure, let me just go change."

After dressing up and adding the final touches, I walk out with my small Chanel cross body bag, feeling fresh, pretty and sexy only to bump into someone.

Groaning as I rub my nose, I look up. "Move out of my way!" I snap, trying to bypass Kyle.

"You're not going with him." He says sternly, his eyes hard.

"What's it to you!?" I try to squeeze past him but he kept blocking me. "Wait, how do you even know?"

"Doesn't matter." He holds me by the shoulders and shoves me back into my dorm. I thrash in his hold and even try to aim a punch but I was as useless as a cup of water in a bush fire.

I suddenly realise how he knew. "MALCOLM YOU FUCKING TRAITOR!" I yell, continuing to squirm in his hold, feeling suffocated in his tight grip. "LET ME GO, YOU'RE NOT THE FUCKING BOSS OF ME!"

"Will you calm down and listen to me!?"

"NO! I am so fUcking sick of you. You're always controlling me, making me feel things I don't want to, touching and kissing me without my permission and you expect me to listen?" I let out a humourless laugh. "You mean nothing to me, William."

He suddenly lets go of me and takes a step back with a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes. He tries to say something but he seemed to be speechless for a few seconds.

"Are you always such a bitch?" He asks, shaking his head. "I'm trying to warn you, I'm trying to tell you that I know who he is and what he's like. He's only using you!"

"STOP LYING! You only want everything for yourself, you think you own me and that you can do what ever you want with me and this may come as some shocking news, but not everyone loves you! Okay? So stop following me around like some fucking annoying psycho who has to pretend to be someone else!"

He remains quiet, breathing heavily. "You know, you might be right. I am pretending to be someone I'm not but stop acting like its my fault that I'm in this position. I watched my family get murdered right in front of my eyes, I had to run and leave them there lying in their own b-blood just to save myself because...." He wipes his eyes, taking a deep breath in. "Because that was the last thing my mother ever said to me. For two years, every night, the thought of suicide crosses my mind and I have come close far too many times. And let me enlighten you just how strong the urges have been recently because of you."

"Me? Oh, so now you're blaming your pathetic suicidal thoughts on me? Wow, aren't you a darling." I scoff, rolling my eyes.

"You..." He says lowly, stalking closer to me. "I try to get along with you, I try to be nice but you only give me every excuse possible as to why I'm not needed here." He grabs me by my jacket and fists his hands, pulling me dangerously close. "If you want me dead that bad Chi chi, then you could of just said so." He lets go and walks towards the door.

My heart beating dangerously fast, I try to stop him by grabbing the back of his shirt, but he slaps my hand away. "All I wanted was to be loved again. All I wanted was someone who I could trust, someone who could be beside me always so I could function properly and stop myself from becoming insane. But you, Rose... you just gave me one thousand reasons why I don't belong in this world, why my death wouldn't cause a single person to shed a tear, why I shouldn't ever trust another person in  my life again. Because you weren't just another person that I have met, you were someone that knew the whole me, someone that I stupidly spilled my secrets and weaknesses to. I regret ever meeting you Chi- Rose."

He opens the door furiously and slams it shut hard, the windows and walls shaking. I was met by deafening silence, where the only thing heard was the wild beating of my heart.

It took me a minute before realisation hit me.

What have I done....?
