Rose's Pov: I wake up with Jace's arm wrapped around my waist and this is the day before the wedding 'This is what my life has come to? forced into marriage, my friends lying to me and me wanting to be with someone I can't have' I look at the ring on my finger analyzing it I sigh in desperation wanting to be in Ryder's arms having him hold me and telling me it's going to be okay, what's wrong with me? Ryder killed Felicity my cousin and I have to use my head but my heart is telling me otherwise. I sit in an upright position sighing looking out the window hearing the birds harmonious noises, I then look back at Jace maybe it won't be too bad, I just have to find a way to change him somehow take him back to the real him kind and caring, but he is not the one I did fall for, he's turned out to be cold and a monster. I stare at his face as I remember waking up next to him in my bed when I was 16 god it feels just like yesterday I was going to stay with him for 3 months thinking it will
Rose's Pov: 'Ugh I can't even leave for the mall because Jace doesn't trust me and after that phone call he hasn't been back, I look at the rack of dresses glaring at each one just wanting to rip them into tiny little pieces and burn them while stomping on the remaining ashes, don't judge me I need help. I feel small being stuck in this manor I feel claustrophobic he says 'I'll let you roam the grounds but no further' like who the hell do you think you are telling me what to do, but I haven't really rejected it but still he's such a...I don't even have words because half of the crap that comes out of my mouth definitely wouldn't be used in heaven. "This was the one you pointed out in the beginning wasn't it?" Sasha questions I replied with a one-worded "Yes." I clench my jaw angry all this rage is building up inside me 'Him keeping my father for years away from my life when I needed him most, getting Felicity involved which ended up in her demise by guess who the stepbrother that I
Rose's Pov: I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat I felt sick to the stomach my family was so fucked up to a point where I started thinking that my life was completely fucked well it already was currently. I turn up and stare at the roof "I'm getting married tomorrow" I said out loud turning back over putting a pillow on my face, At eighteen never saw my life heading this way if I thought about it I always planned what would happen how it would happen, but it always got me into arguments with my parents.Two Years Ago: I twist around suddenly annoyance running through me, "I wanted to do everything by the book, date, boyfriend, and girlfriend for a year or two that would lead to finally getting married and having kids in that specific order, but now that's obviously not going to work out for me because I'm now completely stuck in this predicament between a guy I've barely known over a week period this is not the 18th century and I'm not a cow up for auction" I exclaimed as they just stan
Rose's Pov:I woke up in Jace's room after my attempt at suicide last night he didn't want to leave me alone, Richelle and Janelle weren't allowed to see me after visiting me at the medical room until the wedding. He had his arm wrapped around my waist, I close my eyes feeling sick knowing I'll be getting married to him today and I don't know how to feel about the situation, Actually I do, 'I'm fucking trapped and I don't know if Kaiser can help me this time' I thought "Roselle are you awake?" I heard him say beside me I'm quietly breathing softly making it look like I'm out to it he sighed, "I promise I swear to you that I'll try and change I'll try to be the man you fell in love, I'll try and make you happy to the end of my days" He whispered kissing my cheek When I felt him leave the room my eyes slowly opened as I sigh "Yeah right how long until you actually break me" I whispered under my breath pulling the quilt up further under my chin shutting my eyes just wanting this horri
Rose's Pov: I look at my dress on the hanger "I never saw myself doing this Sasha...getting married to Jace" I said while she places a hairpin in my hair "I know if your mum and dad could see you now they would be proud of you....you look beautiful" she said putting her hands on both my shoulder blades trying to make the best of the situation I was currently in. "I wish they were here to see me but Jace and Michael have other ideas they probably don't trust my parents" I replied She smiled a bit and turned me around "You'll be fine sweetheart now I think you'll be needing to get in that dress" she said with a gentle smile as I brought it towards myself analysing it "So this marriage how does this Mascarade ball work?" I ask confused She smiled "This is a bit different than your regular wedding" she replied as she continues "Everyone will wear masks and he won't come till later so you just have to go around talk, dance, enjoy yourself and then when he arrives will head to the fro
Rose's Pov: "Rose... get up time for school!" My mum called out from down the hallway I sighed in annoyance of all days it had to be this one dad's anniversary. Let's see If my acting improved "Mum I'm not feeling well I have a migraine" I winced in fake pain hopefully she falls for it. I hear her walking from down the hallway as she strides towards me she starts to probably think is she telling the truth or not. "Are you okay" she asks her brows furrowing in worry She comes into the room towards me feeling my head for a temperature than put's the thermometer in my mouth as she waits. For a minute I had hope that she would let me have a day off school because of the day.... but of course she can see behind my white lies she gives me a knowing smirk one that reflected my own on alot of occasions "Your lying, I know today isn't the best day to attend school but your education is important...It was to him too more than you know" She replied I sighed while she sits on the side of my
Rose's Pov: As we speed down the street my thoughts kept returning to Jace 'Why couldn't he just leave me alone, I'll admit one of the days I thought I could handle him being a mafia leader but he just got worse and worse his temper would rise to great heights and I couldn't deal with it I wanted an escape and he's given me that but why still contact my mother for, the thought puzzled me. "Rose watch out!" I heard Richelle yell out I gasped getting back on the right side of the road nearly getting hit by a truck, both girls looked at me in worry, and I shook my head as if waking out of a daze focusing on the road again. While we saw the school in our view Janelle calls out "Rose are you sure your okay that was a pretty close call hun" "I'm fine my thoughts have been drifting is all" I stated "Well drift your thoughts off the road Rose" Richelle said I sigh just being on my bike riding as fast as I can it reminded me of the days with Jace and our laughs but old memories die, I've
Rose's Pov: While I sit in the detention room my thoughts drift to this guy who was he, he had this look about him one I knew all too well the guy with a past a dangerous one and It didn't sit well with me something was off my gut was screaming to myself to listen to my instincts but am I just worried about today's events is it causing my feelings to be wary of this stranger than my thoughts go back into the past I remember Parker mentioning to me that someone left this school and was deciding to come back was this the guy he was talking about Ryder. "You can leave now Miss Bashay" My professor stated while I began walking out "Miss Bashay..." He called to me I pause turning back to my professor "Yes sir?" I replied "Please make more of an effort If you want to pass this semester I know your father would want you to" He stated waving me off to leave My brows furrowed in confusion but I shook it off and continued on my way to the parking lot, I feel like my ears have steam coming
