Chapter Two

“Mom!”

“Here my girl.” My mom Mrs. Lilly is working on my birthday party. She’s a beautiful and stunning growing woman. We’re very similar with a face not in thoughts. She hates the Parker family, which means Ronald, family.

My mom is an entrepreneur. She loves flowers, that’s why she starts a business with her own perfume. When I’m a child my mind was always curious about flowers and here I’m thinking of taking one step further in the perfume business but my dad says you need to complete your studies first.

“Mom I told you I want a simple party but this is...” So much decoration and so many guests. I told my mom I want just my friends but she invited me to the whole college. She’s not like to show off but it’s her love for me.

“This is what? Oh, come on my girl it’s not a big deal and better for you to take it as a habit because.” Oh, there she is again giving me lectures on parties and class society.

Blah blah

“Lilly you’re talking with walls.” My mom stops talking with my dad’s voice. She narrows her eyes on me and raises her brows.

“Dad please don’t and by the way where’s my gift.” Dad came forward and kissed my head. His warm smell of love is always pure and blessed.

“Happy birthday my little Rosee Posee. This is for you.” Oh my god.

“Dad I don’t. I can’t thank you.” He gave me my own car. Seriously. My feet start bouncing.

“Carter you can’t. She needs to learn...”

“Mom, I know how to drive. Dad already taught me.” Mom never knows that dad gave me secret lessons about the car. Here she was shocked.

“Carter, you’re giving her so much.” She grabs my car keys but dad snatched them from her and gave me back. Without listening to them I ran to where my car was standing. It’s a beautiful BMW.

“Dad!” I shouted with full force and both looked at my side.

“I love you.” Both smile and I know Mom is faking because she knows how much she loves me.

Later when night came my party was already blowing. Music, dance and food and of course drinks. My friends and colleagues here but Jessie and Ronald never came. My eyes are always on the door. So many wishes and gifts and the best gift goes to my friend Annie.

She is my best friend. When I start school she’s with me and now we’re in college. She’s like my family.

After I said goodbye to all my friends I took two plates of cake and sent a message to Jessie.

Me- Cake I want to eat.

Jessie- Hell Yes! God, you’re my saver.

Me- Coming to open your window.

It’s our secret that in the late nights she came into my room or I went there. Sometimes we do study and sometimes other stuff and dad knows about me and Jessie. Like mom he never stops us. But when Ronald came it’s a different thing for us. He spent nights in my arms. We talked and kissed but he never took the next step. I want him but it’s now nothing between us.

It’s early winter but the cold wind is giving me shivers. I stumbled with plates while climbing. I knocked on the window and she opened the glass. But before she took my hands she snatched plates from my hands.

“Hey, it’s not fair.” But she was gone.

“Help yourself.” She whispers aloud. It’s dark in her house and everyone is sleeping. Ronald is sleeping?

“You missed my party.” She stops while eating.

“You know Mrs. Laura, I hate her. She tries to control our lives and she’s doing very well with Ronald and he’s very dumb because he’s blind.” Her hate showed on her face. There’s everything wrong.

“It’s fine. But I missed you both.” While she eats I sit in bed and try to call Ronald but he never picked. It’s my birthday and I’m still waiting for my wish from Ronald. Hate or love but he’s my first love. But today he’s not around and I know he’s gone with friends for some fun or girls.

I stop calling him and sit. But wait and just wait. Every second is heavy for me. He never came home. My eyes on the door but nothing.

After that, I left Jessie while eating. When I was walking toward my home someone grabbed me from the elbow and stopped me. When I turn Ronald standing there. But he’s bleeding. His eyes swallow and blood comes from his mouth.

“Ron. What happened? You’re..bleeding.” He hissed with pain when my hand landed on his cheek. God, he’s swallowed with bruises.

“It’s nothing I just fight.” He takes a step back from me and the warm and swallows feeling from his cheek left.

“You’re hurt.”

“You’re hurting me more.” It’s nothing in front of the pain that you gave me. The pain of watching you kissing someone and the pain of watching you having sex in front of my eyes and when I called you asked you where are you and you just lied.

“Here, happy birthday Rose.” He never called me Rose. It hurts.

“Thank you.”

“I...I saw you from the window. You’re looking happy without me.” Never. Open your eyes, please.

“Yeah it’s my birthday and you know my mom..” Before I finished he grabbed my face between his hands and rested his head against my head.

“It’s hurting you’re ignoring me and leaving me alone. Don’t put distance between us. Don’t kill me with your hate.” Why does it hurt? I can’t handle his pain.

“I love you my Rosee Posee. I can’t live without you. Let’s go somewhere else where just you and me. I promised you I would never regret it.” A single tear fell on earth. The tear of pain. He never understands it’s difficult to forget about that night.

Suddenly something happened and it happened so suddenly and Ronald fell on earth.

“How dare you touch my daughter with your dirty hands?”
