Chapter 33
I felt two hands on my shoulder. When I looked up, Rocky was standing behind me.
*You can come stay with me Rosy” he said softly. Before I could say anything Mr Callum jumped in.
“Don’t you dare Rocky. You will not take her side either. If you want to keep this relationship with my daughter, you too will stay away from Rosy
“With all due respect Mr Callum, you are not my father. You will not tell me what I can and can not do. I know for a fact that your daughter would want me to give her friend a roof over her head” he had one arm wrapped around my shoulder and I was grateful because I needed the support to keep standing
now.
“Well then Rocky, looks like Taylor and you are done now too”
“Stop please! Everyone just stop!” I shouted. I had enough. I wasn’t going to be the reason for any relationships falling apart.
“I’ll find myself a place. No one has to go against anyone. I’ve out lived my welcome in this family and it’s time for me to move on. Taylor, I love you but please just do as they want you too. I’m a big girl and I’ll figure it out.” I didn’t stop to listen to a response from anyone. I ran to my room and went straight for the closet to find a bag.
I grabbed a suitcase and started stuffing it with my clothes and essentials. I grabbed whatever I could and changed my clothes. I had enough money saved up to find a place, I wasn’t leeching off Taylor, I lived with her because she was my best friend. I didn’t know a life without her but right now I just wanted to get out of here.
I stuffed the suitcase as much as I could and closed it. I packed my laptop in my laptop bag and stuff my handbag with little things I needed from my nightstand. I didn’t realise how much I’d packed until I went to pick up the bag and my weak arms couldn’t even lift it. I tugged on the bag and pulled as hard as I could. The bag moved and tipped over falling onto the floor pulled me down with it. I was so frustrated and this was tipping me over. My tears just wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t even see properly. I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them.
I felt a presence behind me. I turned and Blake stood at the doorway. He saw my position and quickly walked over to me.
“Are you okay Rose?!” He helped me up and picked up the bag. I just shook my head and clutched on to my hand bag.
“Your coming with me. I’ve got a spare room you can stay in until we figure something out.” He said and picked up my suitcase again and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, towing me with him.
I had just lost my voice. My mind had gone blank and I just wanted to roll up in a ball and cry. We walked back out to the living area and Taylor was wrapped up in Rocky’s arms crying. Mr and Mrs Callum were sitting on the couch having a conversation.
“Rocky, do you mind helping me move Rosy’s stuff into my spare room? Especially the bed. I’ve got an empty room for her just no furniture.” He asked and Rocky nodded his head.
“I’ll help you pack up her stuff.” Taylor’s voice was cracking as she tried to talk.
“Thank you. I’ll be back.” Blake replied and started towing me towards his apartment.
We got to the door of his apartment and he let go of me to open the door. He walked in first and I slowly followed him in.
