It's my mother. She slaps Ronald on the cheek, causing him to cry out in pain. She's quite angry. Oh my god, she listens to everything. Maybe.
"How dare you?"
"Mom, this is nothing. I.."
"Don't you dare, Rose?" "Stop defending him." I ignored her and assisted Ronald. He seemed to be even more injured.
"Mam please.." Before he can finish his sentence, Mom slaps him again. Oh no. I'm terrified now, Mom. It's not like my mother never hit someone.
"No, Mom, please. "Listen to me." I need to cover everything before the worst occurs. Mom appeared again, and before she could reach me, I stood in front of him like a shield.
"I can handle it, Rose. Let me."
"Mom! Stop." I yelled out. How could she offend him? But mom continued to rant at him, while Ron stood there motionless, listening to her comments. But then his house door sprang wide, and his parents stepped outside.
This is it, I know. My heart tells me something is going to go wrong. My gaze lands on Ron. He is also terrified. He wraps his right arm around my waist and pulls me against him, like a guardian.
"Rose, please don't leave me." He also has feelings.
"Not until my last breath."
"What's going on here?" Ron's mother's eyes were looking for solutions.
"Can we speak calmly? We need to think." Mom cut Mr. Parker.
"Please do not tell me what to do. Your blood is just like his family." What does this mean?
"Mom, stop insulting people." I'm quite angry with her. Why was she saying this?
"Mam I love your daughter, yet I never touch her. She is also in love with me." But Mom ignored him and drew me further away from him. My bracelet had broken, and something was in my skin.
"Stop, you're harming her. If you accomplished something, then."
"Then what?" She is already hurting me. Her hold was so firm, and I felt sticky since blood was now flowing from the cut.
"You're hurting her, Lilly; stop now." Everyone came to a halt as they heard dad's voice. Thank God.
"Ronald gets home, and Laura and Carlo enter. Rose entered your room and did not come out until I instructed you. Get that." Ronald's eyes met mine, and he nodded.
It's been an hour and they're still talking. Fighting over corrections. There is so much conversation going on in my father's office, and I am simply sitting there bawling like a baby. I'm becoming increasingly concerned about Ronald. What if Mom forced them?
My thoughts have always proven correct, which is why I despise my thoughts. I cannot sit here like a dumb person. I approached my father's office slowly, taking gentle steps. When they chat, muffled voices can still be heard outside.
"Be careful what you're saying, Laura. If you mentioned it again.."
"Or, what? Nobody knows the truth. If it comes outside, your life will be hell." It's Mrs. Laura. What's the truth? What exactly are they talking about? I push the door open slightly with my finger.
Their words rang in my ears. Every syllable conveys a painful truth. The truth is grim, difficult to believe and embrace. What if someone knows what they're digging in their hearts? Everyone knows, and now I do too.
Me, Ronald, and Jessie. how? Why? My foot is not able to support my weight. My legs weakened suddenly, and I fell hard on the ground.
"I have to tell him. He needs to know. But if he's strong enough to face the truth." My tears became louder after hearing every phrase. I covered my lips with my hand to muffle the sound of sobbing.
"I need to tell him the truth."
"Oh no, you can't." Then she drew me with her.
The next morning, I sit in bed, listening to their voices, because they are leaving. He is going because of me. He's leaving me alone and empty. Everyone does their share; now it is my turn. All night, my phone vibrated and flashed his name. Today, because of me, the wall between us is growing stronger.
Today, they will break forever for our family or us. I rose up with courage and exited my room.
"I need her. I am not going anywhere without listening to her. You are not telling me the truth." Mom and dad were standing, observing and battling with him. His parents were pulling him along.
"Rose tells them they are lying. Your mother stated it was a plan. You're just playing with my heart."
Nothing comes out of my mouth.
"Rose, you love me, correct? This is true love. Tell them and prove me correct."
Nothing
"Rose!" Nothing.
"Rose! "Speak up. He yelled.
Nothing
"Ronald, my boy, I told you she didn't deserve you. "She is playing with your emotions." He is still watching me, waiting for an answer, but I keep my mouth shut. You'll never realize what Strom is going through my heart.
"Look at me and say, Look. in . my . eyes." I looked like a hard stone. His eyes were dark and green. This is a warning to me that he is developing feelings of hatred for me.
"You're nothing for me, and I think you need to leave." He repeatedly nods and chuckles. He pauses and laughs deeply.
"Mom, you're correct. She is just a cold-hearted bitch." Laura smiles like a witch, but Mr. Parker is hurt.
"See, I warned you before."
"Get out of my house." But Ron grasped my throat tightly. His grip was tight.
