As I sit in the corner of the hospital room, waiting for Rosey to wake up. They put her under, to help her sleep and have her on some nutritions in her IV to help her from all the drugs she has been on.When Cynthia and her brother and sister showed up, Cynthia hugged me with a few tears running down her face, Chris was hurt and mad at the same time, Carlie, she didn't know what to say."Do you know why she done what she done?" Cynthia asked me."No, not really." I said at first. "But I'm pretty sure we all know why she did. She's gone through a lot.""It doesn't matter what shes gone through. She shouldn't have done it in the first place." Chris had kinda yelled."You be in her shoes, Chris." I said. "She lost her mother, her father. She believes her life is slipping, that no one loves her." I snapped back."We love her.""Do you? If y'all did, you wouldn't have let her move out on her own. She's young still but stubborn at heart.

JoeyTwo days. Two days since she's been in the hospital resting.Two days since she's been out.Two days for her to get back to normal.It took a lot to get her back to normal, but when it did, she was fully awake and alert. She was shocked to see where she was and who was there for her.The moment she woke up, I had called her doctor and called the others to come to the hospital. The doctor checked her out and said she was okay, back where she needed to be. Which was a good thing."Cynthia Rose, do you know how much you gave us all a scare?" Cynthia scolded her."I'm sorry." Rose had said at first, looking down. Then looked up and spoke again. "Does he know?""Your father?" Cynthia asked. Rose nodded. "I called him and told him, well mostly left a voicemail. But he hasn't called back or even texted to see if you were okay. Last time we spoke was a month ago when he told me he was leaving town for awhile and sent money for you kids."

A few days being in the hospital and I was glad to be home. Home with my family. I had moved back with Cynthia and them so they can help and watch over me.Joey, Chris, and Carlie went over to my house to grab my stuff. It was gonna be just the boys but I didn't want them going through my underwears so I asked Carlie to go for me. Cynthia and the doctors want me to rest at home for awhile. And by that, no going to school for awhile. But there was only a month or two left. But Cynthia said that maybe it was a good thing that I took the rest of the school year off. Start off fresh and new for the next school year. Start off Senior year off with a bang. God Senior year, I can't believe how much the past 3 years has past by.

After a few days of us kissing, that's how long it has been and I don't know what to do now. He kissed me first, I kissed him back second. We haven't spoken since and the past few days when we see each other, we stare for a moment then I run off (walk away) into another direction.A week has passed since the kissed and I thought things were getting back to normal.

As much as I'm loving this book, I think I'm gonna end the 2nd half of the story and write a new one. A 3rd part to it. Don't worry, Cynthia or Rosey is still gonna be the lead female in this part of the book. With the help of someone else. Can y'all guess who will it be? If no, you'll have to find out by reading more of the story.But thank you all so so so much, for sticking around with this book. Old or new. I know its taking awhile for me to update it but once I get more ideas for it I add it in a chapter. I have so much for this book, I just don't want it to end until the right time. And hopefully when that timing does come, it will be perfect with a happy ending. Or close to a good ending. Cross our fingers, especially to see how this book goes.If anyone have any ideas for up coming events or chapters please comment. Thank you and god bless.
The One That Got Away Preface Book 1
It all started when I first met him when I was 18 years old, I just finished college with my master degree of an entrepreneur; basically running my own business of whatever I want. I had a few degrees up my sleeves but that's the one I say to people. As I was working in my coffee shop for the moment, when he came in and ordered his original: triple shot espresso with whip cream and a cream filling glaze donut. His order came to $15 and he left me a $5 tip each time he ordered his meal.He would come in at least 2x a day 5x a week. And each time he would come in, it was the same each time. He would flirt, joke with me about everything. And yes, I would take his flirts, what woman wouldn't right? He was a cute young man, built very tough like he used to do football in high school or college or even do that now. But then I thought about it, they say he eats these donuts there's no way he's a NFL player. But I never asked.About a few months after I had opened my shop, he c
The One That Got Away Chapter 1
I was a little girl who dreamt of big dreams of becoming what I want in life. I was only 7 years old. My parents always told me to dream big or don't dream at all, because I won't succeed in life. I always believe that.So by the time I had finished grade schedule and went to high school, I joined every club that I could. I was a very smart girl at my age and yes I got picked on but I didn't care. I didn't let it faze me one single bit. But for my smart cuteness, a lot of guys would hit on me ask me out but they only would use me to help them get their grades up. Some would try to get into my pants but I wouldn't allow them too.By the time I had graduated high school with a GPA of 4.7 and only being 15 years old, was a shock to some. Even when I went to college, my head master was shocked when she read my transcript but was very pleased.She asked me what I wanted in life, what I wanted to accomplish? I told her I want it all, I want to accomplish everything in lif

About a few weeks of my store being open, I've been having people left and right coming in and asking for my coffee. Some would just come in and use the wifi or watch the news when it was on to pass the time. But I didn't care, what they were doing as long as they were coming in.My first few nights, it was okay, it was slow but only because I just opened. I wasn't expecting it to be busy. My family came and saw the shop and said that they told all their friends about this place and they've even put it on their Facebook. Which was a great idea. So I done the same thing. I went to make a page and a group of my business and even paid the money to broadcast it all over. I've even put it in the papers at some of the newspaper companies and after about my 3rd week, I was bringing in business. It was all unbelievable how fast this was coming along.By my 2nd month, I hired two people. One to help cook the foods that I had put on the menus which was small easy stuff for n

I didn't have a lot of money to my name and with the shop, it took a lot of the money I had saved up. Something bad would happen, something would break and need to be fix. It would just put me in more dept that I didn't need.And with all the tips that the store made in the day, I had made a goal for us to have at least $50 but some days we wouldn't even make it there. But what tips we got, me and the crew both agree to save them for the shop to get what we need fixed until then its not our money.As promised, I did come into work looking cute just for a certain person. But I feel like I'm trying too hard. I don't even know his name, he could have a family, or even be gay all I know. There goes Kyle's shot to him. Which made me laugh just thinking about that. Someone I liked turn out being gay and he takes him from me.But I spoke too soon, he came in one evening where there was a few people drinking their drink and eating whatever they ordered as they watched the n

New years eve was short lived. It wasn't all that great, other than being by myself. Jacob came by and helped me get high and well the high wasn't even a high anymore. The pain was still there, just made me feel numb. Like I can see everything going slow motion, just dragging. When school started back up, I had slowly started winging myself off from doing drugs. But with Jacob, it was hard to do half the time. Joey, saw me struggling with it. He saw me crashing when didn't want anyone to see me crash. One day at lunch, I felt weak and I could barely even move. Where I had almost passed out by my locker and if it wasn't for Joey being next to me, catching me. Joey had drove me home and stayed with me and helped me for the rest of the night. He had told his parents that he was staying over with Chris and told Chris to help back him up. He didn't tell him he was with me, Chris didn't like that Joey was always staring at me. He says its creepy that his best friend is

It felt like its been forever by now but its finally here. Its Christmas eve, our family dinner. What we call it but its kinda different since Mark is gone. As I got home, yes a little high, but enough to get the high but not show it. Cynthia was in the kitchen cooking away with some of the help, when I came in. Our head chef was taking out the hams when I popped my butt down on the island. When he sat it on the counter he addressed me like always with a smile. Walter, I loved he was the best. Always made me the best late night snack. Especially when I was a little high."Good morning Ms. Rosey." He said."Good morning Walter.""Oh good your here and early." Cynthia chimed in. "But not dressed for your best, I see." "I don't have all my nice close at the house mother. I left them here. But I was gonna take a nice hot bath and get ready here if you didn't mind?""Of course not. Its still your place. Even though your father isn't here and the judge left every

After being gone for a few days, phone getting blown up, text message after text, I finally got back to my old self where I wanted to go back home. Not just because Cynthia had told me the words I wanted to see but I needed to go back. I needed to be loved and be by my family.But just seeing:"Honey, I kicked out your father. I done what I should have done long time ago back when I caught him with your mother. Yes, I know its sad. But after what he's done to all of us and what he done to you of all people. Especially after losing your mother, you needed a parent in your life and I know I'm not your mother, but I've helped raised you and if your willing to come back you can. I won't be mad at you if you don't."It hit the heart but I know its not her fault at all. She was more the victim as anyone of us. Her husband, the father of her children, doing them wrong all over again. Then placing his hands on his baby girl that looks dead ass like her mother. I thought that was the problem,
The One That Got Away chapter 9
The moment I left the shop, all I could think about was Cynthia. The look she will have after watching the video. The anger, the heartache, the disappointment of her spouse cheating on her once more. But the most important thing of all that is the fact that he done it in their home, while she was there, with their family and kids. As I drove to my mother's house, now mine, I had texted Jacob to meet me over there. I needed a fix after what just happened. And I needed it bad. I wanted this feeling to go away. All the bad that's happened in my life. My mother leaving me. Not knowing my father 1st part of my life. And still don't, because he's still gone half the time.But knowing that my siblings have to go through that all over again, hurts me the worst. I get doing it to me, because I hardly knew you but not to them.As I drove up to the house, Jacob was sitting on the porch swing waiting for me. When I got out of the car, I ran to him, where his arm were opened, ready to hug me. "S
