Rose

SAME DAY

"why were you hesitant to call her with us?" Aura whispered to Rick when Rose was busy chatting with Vii

"I don't know, you should ask Vii, he does that all the time" he shrugged.

they reached a huge arcade which creeped out Aura when she saw the arcade had no other colours except pink and white

"what the fuck dude, not again, I mean seriously?" she rolled her eyes and checked the monitors, and sighed in relief as she found colours in the game.

Rick giggled and walked her to a game which seemed to be fine to play with, she sat on the virtual games and played multiplayer with Rick and lost every single time.

she felt guilty for playing games, instead of trying to send messages to people who would be worried for her, she was sitting here, kind of enjoying herself. but she also knew she could do nothing unless and until she gets to know the complete detail of this place.

they got down from the game and they noticed Rose scram away angrily from Vii, and he walked towards them.

"what was that about?" Aurora questioned

"nothing" he replied looking away. and when he turned to face them, he noticed them giving him a 'please explain' look.

"she likes me" he answered looking at the floor below him.

"so?" Aura raised one of her eyebrows

"I like her too!!" he said

"I don't understand, what was THAT about, the whole fighting scene?"Rick asked him, and Aura wondered whether it was because of her, closely sticking to Vii

"I didn't confess it to her!!, she's demanding the reason for me telling her why I don't like her !!" Aura noticed he was on the verge of tears, and she knew there was something more to it.

"then why not tell her?" Aura suggested

"I'm just desperate to leave this place, I'll jump out of this place from the first opportunity I get! but she likes this place, and if I leave that'll be the last I see her" he kept himself in control as much as possible as he broke out each straining word.

"I understand" Rick hugged him and patted his back, Aura wanted to console him too, but she was in a position where everything felt awkward for her to express.

she gave him some soothing words and they walked out of the arcade laughing at some stupid joke Rick had started about Vii getting pregnant because of his weird seeds of stress in his mind. and Aura giggled which made Vii blush

Rose stood over the corner of the wing, crying her eyes out, as soon as she saw them laughing, she boiled inside, she loved Vii so much, and she suspected Aura for taking Vii further away from her

she rushed to her room in a hurry and dashed someone so hard that they both fell on the hard white floor with a loud thump.

"watch where you're going pumpkin pie" a guy who was heavily built, with blonde hair who had suffered her fall answered

"I'm sorry" she moved away from him

"not so soon" he grabbed her arms and pulled her closer

"what the hell!!! leave me" she shouted and he pushed his hands to her mouth and muffled her screaming

with all the pain, she cried so much and he grabbed her hands and pinned it towards the wall

she bit his hands and tried kicking, but all went in vain, she looked at him into his eyes and was terrified thinking about what he was gonna do, she knew she was wrong coming alone to her stupid isolated room in the far end of the corner

she knew this pervert was obsessed with her, from the day she moved into this room, waiting for an opportunity alone, and in all the confusion she didn't realise she was providing the opportunity.

"hey you" Aura slammed the book she had in her hand to his head, and he backed away hissing at her

"what the hell?" he dropped Rose and grabbed Aura's arm and was furious about her hitting him

"RUN!!!" Aura mouthed.

but Rose came rushing to aid and kicked his balls with so much force that he slumped to the floor moaning in pain. they both ran to the cafeteria where so many other people were there and they knew nobody could do such a stunt here.

"Thanks," Rose said her in astonishment after she took a seat.

Aura nodded rubbing the red mark she had in her arm.

"How did you find me?" Rose asked her

"I knew you saw us laughing when you were crying out there, I followed to console you, but yeah I found something else" Aura winked grabbing a water bottle from the table and emptying it

"I'm sorry for being rude earlier" Rose apologised

"it's fine, I get it" Aura patted her shoulder and saw Rick and Vii approaching them

"I was worried Aura, never run like that, abandoning us, ever again" Rick sat in the opposite chair and Vii followed the same pattern.

"you know what happened? a minute late, and I don't think you would've ever seen Rose in the same shape" Aura kept the bottle down and answered

Vii looked horrified at the words she had just blown.

"What happened?!" he panicked and Rose looked at him in confusion, he had just told her he doesn't give a damn about her

" This guy, he was trying to force himself on her" Aura answered and she saw Vii trying to control his rage

"I'm so sorry we weren't there, I'm happy you girls managed to get away," Rick told them and stood up when he saw cheese bread being refilled at the counter

"bring me some too" Rose shouted across and Rick gave her a thumbs up

"why can't you be more careful" Vii looked really serious and he wasn't able to contain what he felt for her, he stood up, sat beside her

"what was that for" Rose giggled

"some protective gesture" Aura winked again and Vii didn't seem to meltdown

"I respect every girl" He shot back and smiled at Rose and she didn't smile back, she just stared at him in confusion.

"and there goes the lie" Rick handed the plate down to Rose and Vii couldn't help smiling
