Rose ran her hands through her hair and shook her head at him. “Then maybe it was a wake up call to teach me how to defend myself. Teach me how to shoot, teach me how to fight so something like that doesn’t happen again..” She told him, completely frustrated.”But you know what, yeah you’re right, I could have died tonight, but I didnh’t, Adam! I’m right here! I’m alive, I’m safe now! I’m going to be okay and that’s all that matters and now we can make sure something like that never happens again! Adam please…I know you’re mad, your angry and you’re upset and your head is still foggy…. maybe you should just…have the night to yourself and calm down because I refuse to talk to you when you’re yelling at me because you’re angry.”

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“No! No I’m not teaching you to defend yourself because you’re not going to be in danger again. God dammit Rose you’re alive because Kherington was there. I wasn’t even there to protect you!!” He wished she would just understand but that was going to be difficult and he knew that. “Do you know what it was like, Rose? TO fucking sit here think you were dead or raped or tortured because those are the kinds of things that happen to people I know!” His throat caught with emotion. “And I can’t have that happen to you.”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

“Well if you won’t teach me I’ll find somebody else who will. I’ll ask my dad or my brother too.” She told him. “I get that you were worried out of your mind, that you were scared...but why can’t  you look past that and look at now! I’m standing right in front of  you and I’m going to be okay and I’m going to live, and starting from tonight, everything is going to just fine, we’re going to be alright...” She told him in a small voice, blinking back tears. “It won’t happen to me again Adam, if you wont make sure of it, then I will.”

Marcus looked down at her and snapped his fingers in front of her face. “Keep your eyes open, Kherington. You gotta keep them open for me okay?” He told her seriously. He got scared when she had her eyes closed because he didn’t want her to fall asleep, and keeping her eyes open was the only way to make sure she was staying awake. “Oh shush you. I’m getting to it now, I’m just a ltitle snow.” He joked.

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

She weakly pushed his hand away from her face, trying desperately to open her eyes and keep them open. She lifted a heavy hand to her right eye because it was still dried shut from the blood. “It hurts to open my eyes Marcus I don’t wanna…” She sounded like a child and didn’t have the energy to care. “Okay, after I get better I want alfredo…” She thought about all of the questions they asked at hospitals and started getting nervous again. “What should I tell them happened to me? I-I don’t even remember how old I am we have to go home…”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

“NOooope, we have to go to the hospital.” He told her. Marcus let his head lean back and he let out a chuckle. “Then alfredo you will get, babe. Don’t you worry. you can have all the alfredo you can eat.” He promised her. “I don’t care if it hurts your eyes, if you close your eyes syou can fall asleep... if you fall asleep you could die.”

Rose took a couple small steps back, shaking her ehad and trying to figure out what he was talking about, and what he meant. “What…what are you talking about? I’m not lying to you!” She shook her head. “I…I can’t believe I’m hearing this right now! Don’t you think I thought about what I was going to be getting myself into when I started seeing you?!” She could hear her voice getting louder out of frustration. “I want to be with you! I love you, God Damnit. So stop being a stupid idiot, and stop blaming yourself because me getting taken at a fucking club was not your fault! I chose to get involved, so it’s my fault!” Rose shouted at him.

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

Adam ran his hand down his face, huffing loudly. “No Rose, you are lying to me. You aren’t okay. You’re cut up and bleeding and the only reason you’re here alive is because they were stopped before they killed y ou. Are you grasping that, Rose? Are you grasping the fucking concept that you could have died tonight because of me!” He shouted right back. “It was my fault Rose. It was my fault because if it weren’t for me you wouldn’t have been taken from that club! Don’t even try telling me that’s not the truth. I know it was your choice but I was stupid to think that I could keep you safe in all of this.”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose ran her hands through her hair and shook her head at him. “Then maybe it was a wake up call to teach me how to defend myself. Teach me how to shoot, teach me how to fight so something like that doesn’t happen again..” She told him, completely frustrated.”But you know what, yeah you’re right, I could have died tonight, but I didnh’t, Adam!

ate“You can sleep when the doctor tells you that you can.” He told her adamantly. “Oh yeah, she’s a real cool girl, one of the coolest girls I know.” He said softly. Marcus sat there and thought about it. “I have to say…italian.” He nodded. “Yeah, definitely Italian.” He ch. uckled. “HOw about once you’re all better I take you out to some Italian place?” He offered her quietly

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

She wanted to say that he was one of the coolest guys she knew but she had a hard time getting the sentence past her lips. She decided that listening would be enough for right now. “That’s my favorite kind too.” She said with a smile, the nodded weakly with her eyes still closed. “Jeez Marcus I’ve only been asking you for like 12 years… But… yeah… I’d like that.” Whoever was driving laughed quietly and if it didn’t hurt to do so she would have glared. “Thanks Marcus…”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Marcus looked down at her and snapped his fingers in front of her face. “Keep your eyes open, Kherington. You gotta keep them open for me okay?” He told her seriously. He got scared when she had her eyes closed because he didn’t want her to fall asleep, and keeping her eyes open was the only way to make sure she was staying awake. “Oh shush you.

Rose felt her heart stop and she looked up at him, very hurt. “What?” She asked him in a shakey voice. She kept going over everything in her mind trying to understand why he wanted her to leave. “What? No…” She shook her head. “No! I’m…I’m not leaving, Adam…” She told him angrily. “I know…I know you’re angry at what happened, I know you’re probably blaming yoruself but it’s okay! I’m okay! You’re not to blame for any of this Adam…” She told him, trying not to let the tears she was feeling come, fall. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

Adam couldn’t help but scoff at her claim that he wasn’t at fault. “Don’t lie to me Rose and don’t even try to act like this isn’t because of me!” He shouted, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t care if it hurts your feelings because if Kherington wasn’t there you could have died and she could have died too because they wanted to hurt me! I’m not going to put your life in danger because I’m too selfish!” 

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose took a couple small steps back, shaking her ehad and trying to figure out what he was talking about, and what he meant. “What...what are you talking about? I’m not lying to you!” She shook her head. “I...I can’t believe I’m hearing this right now! Don’t you think I thought about what I was going to be getting myself into when I started seeing you?!” She could hear her voice getting louder out of frustration. “I want to be with you!

“I lied. Sorry.” He told her with a light chuckle that was mostly forced. “You most likely have a concussion… which is why we need to get you to the emergency room.” He told her seriously. “So  you need to stay awake, and talk to me… about anythign you want to talk about, and I’ll listen.” He told her, just wanting her to stay awake. “Your name is Kherington Rhodes. And you’re a bitch, but a bitch that I love.” He joked lightly. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“That was mean.” And she squeezed her eyes shut because the lights passing the car were hurting her head. She sighed, she didn’t want to stay awake because closing her eyes was so much easier. “I want to sleep.” She whined. “When can I sleep?” And she thought of things to talk about but her brain was bouncing around in her head. “Kherington Rhodes. She must be a cool girl.” She tried laughing and was still trying to think of things to say. “What’s your favorite kind of food… I’ve never asked you that…” “We’re almost to the hospital.” And Kheri wished she didn’t hate hospitals so much.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose nodded. “Thanks Sutton.” She said quietly as she watched Sutton leave. Heading downstairs, she smiled softly at Adam. “Hey you.” She greeted him softly. “Update: I’m a-okay. I look worse than I really am, I promise.” She assured him. “Nothing a nice, lazy day in bed watching movies can’t fix… especially if you’re there with me.” She told him with a smile as she rested her hand on his back and leaned up and kissed his cheek. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

Adam had made up his mind by the time Rose got downstairs. Some time between sweeping the floor and pounding his hands on the counter he realized he just couldn’t do this anymore. He was an idiot for thinking he could bring something as pure as Rose into this hellish life. And she was hurt now. Even as she stood there saying it looked worse than it was it didn’t matter because there was fresh blood coming out of a cut on her leg and he couldn’t bear the sight of it. After she kissed him on the cheek he stepped away slightly. “You need to leave.” He stated simply.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose felt her heart stop and she looked up at him, very hurt. “What?” She asked him in a shakey voice. She kept going over everything in her mind trying to understand why he wanted her to leave. “What? No...” She shook her head. “No! I’m...I’m not leaving, Adam...” She told him angrily. “I know...I know you’re angry at what happened, I know you’re probably blaming yoruself but it’s okay! I’m okay! You’re not to blame for any of this Adam...” She told him, trying not to let the tears she was feeling come, fall.

“We’re going home, thats whats going on.” HE told her as he nodded to the guy who stayed at the car to open up the back seat. Carefully, Marcus placed Kheri in the back seat and slid in next to her. “We’ve got it handled Kheri, its alright, jusst rest now.” Marcus whispered to her and kissed the top of her head gently. “Wes is alright, she’s safe.” He assured her before turning to the driver. “The hospital please, she needs immediate attention.”

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“Noo…” She whined, holding her torso. “You said we were going home.” But everything hurt and she knew she needed a real doctor and not just Sutton. She heard that Rose was alright and sighed in relief. “I’m glad she’s okay.” She whispered, raising a hand to her forehead. “It hurts so bad.” She’d been through a lot of things in her time but she usually won the fight. “He hit me with a pan and I don’t think I remember my name anymore.” And the car was moving but she had to brace a hand on the headrest in front of her because she felt like she was spinning. “It just hurts so bad…”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

“I lied. Sorry.” He told her with a light chuckle that was mostly forced. “You most likely have a concussion... which is why we need to get you to the emergency room.” He told her seriously. “So  you need to stay awake, and talk to me... about anythign you want to talk about, and I’ll listen.” He told her, just wanting her to stay awake. “Your name is Kherington Rhodes.

Rose rolled her eyes but didn’t fight with Sutton anymore on the subject and just let the girl clean her up. “Thanks…” Rose smiled at Sutton, then she heard loud noises coming from downstairs.Rose sighed and shook her head. “It wasn’t his fault…” rose grumbled, only wishing Adam wasn’t being so stupid about it. “I’m fine, Sutton. Really… there isn’t any reason to apologize. I’m goin to be fine, just a little soar tomorrow, but I’m perfectly alright.” she assured teh blonde girl. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

Sutton was quiet as she finished cleaning up her arms. It had taken a while but she couldn’t think of anything to say and she slowed down her breaths enough to the point where she didn’t flinch when she heard another crash downstairs. “Alright… Plum should have pain meds for you, take them as soon as you get downstairs and don’t move too much or you’ll start bleeding again. I’m going to go check on Gemma.” And downstairs Adam heard the water turn off and smacked his hands against the counter, waiting for Rose to come down.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose nodded. “Thanks Sutton.” She said quietly as she watched Sutton leave. Heading downstairs, she smiled softly at Adam. “Hey you.” She greeted him softly. “Update: I’m a-okay. I look worse than I really am, I promise.” She assured him. “Nothing a nice, lazy day in bed watching movies can’t fix... especially if you’re there with me.” She told him with a smile as she rested her hand on his back and leaned up and kissed his cheek.

Marcus couldn’t tell  you what happened fromt he moment Rose came through the door, and when he saw Kheri. It was all a blur. Rushing over to her, he bent down and carefully picked her up. “Hey, sweetums…it’s okay now.” He whispered softly to her as he slowly carried her out of the building. He took a deep breath, and tried not ot focus on how badly she was hurt, because he knew if he did then… so he decided not to think about it. “Everyone is worried about you, when you didn’t come back with Wes, it really worried them.” He told her.

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

She decided the voice was one she didn’t need to pretend to be dead for so she tried really hard to open her eyes for him but only one of them did because blood had covered the other one by then and she wondered briefly why head wounds bled so much. “Marcus? What’s going on?” Her voice was a mere whisper and she vaguely remembered a hand clamped around her throat. “Marcus he was trying to kill me I don’t know wh-who it was and th-the other one got away.” She was as panicked as one could sound with almost no voice left and she couldn’t remember his codename. “Is she okay?!” She was surprisingly worried over someone she pretended to hate so much. “I just wanted to get her time… I didn’t mean to worry you all…”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

“We’re going home, thats whats going on.” HE told her as he nodded to the guy who stayed at the car to open up the back seat. Carefully, Marcus placed Kheri in the back seat and slid in next to her. “We’ve got it handled Kheri, its alright, jusst rest now.” Marcus whispered to her and kissed the top of her head gently. “Wes is alright, she’s safe.” He assured her before turning to the driver. “The hospital please, she needs immediate attention.”

Rose’s eyes lingered on Adam, and they stayed on him until he stepped out of her site and went somewhere else. She didn’t know how to feel about it, mostly she figured that he was so angry he couldn’t be around her, or she also thought it was because she was battered up. “I’m fine Sutton… I just need some water and a towel to clean myself up.” Rose assured her, but she knew her efforts would be pointless. “Is…is Adam okay? He’s not… mad at me is he?” Rose asked quietly.

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“Don’t be fucking ridiculous Rose you have fucking glass shards in your body.” Sutton rolled her eyes as she got her tweezers and a few washcloths after handing her a glass of water. “I don’t know what you did to end up like this but you’re not using a goddamn towel to fix it all.” She instructed Rose to sit on the edge of her tub across from her and she started inspecting her left leg. “By the way, don’t feel like this is awkward or something. I once had to stitch Plum’s ass on the kitchen counter. Such a mess.” She tried joking to relieve the tension but she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she took the first piece of glass out. “You won’t need stitches, they’re mostly superficial lacerations.” She avoided the Adam question for a moment longer. “Adam’s fine. Mostly mad at himself I’m sure. Which is why I wanted to clean you up a bit, it’ll make it easier on him. Are you alright though? I’m so sorry this happened to you.” 

Meanwhile Adam paced around downstairs, throwing glasses that he’d pulled out of the cabinets so he wouldn’t break his hand. “I’m so fucking selfish. I’m an idiot to think I could bring her into my life. What the fuck is wrong with me?!” He shouted so loudly they could probably hear it upstairs but Plum just sighed as he handed Adam another glass to break.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose rolled her eyes but didn’t fight with Sutton anymore on the subject and just let the girl clean her up. “Thanks...” Rose smiled at Sutton, then she heard loud noises coming from downstairs.Rose sighed and shook her head. “It wasn’t his fault...” rose grumbled, only wishing Adam wasn’t being so stupid about it. “I’m fine, Sutton. Really... there isn’t any reason to apologize. I’m goin to be fine, just a little soar tomorrow, but I’m perfectly alright.” she assured teh blonde girl.

Her hands were covered in dried blood and she didn’t know whose it was. It could have been hers or whoever it was that she’d killed. She didn’t remember his name. She didn’t even know if she remembered her name. She moaned in pain as she tried to roll over, thinking that maybe she could go with the momentum and sit up, but she couldn’t even move her arm. She saw the door opening again. and if she could have she would have scurried away but seeing as moving right now didn’t feel possible she closed her eyes and slowed her breathing as if she were dead, hoping that would save her anymore pain. 

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Marcus couldn’t tell  you what happened fromt he moment Rose came through the door, and when he saw Kheri. It was all a blur.

Adam paced back and forth as he supressed the urge to punch his fist through the wall. “WHERE THE FUCK DID THEY TAKE HER?!” He shouted, causing Sutton to flinch. The door swung open and they all snapped to attention. It was Rose and she did not look good. She’s at Mikey’s, they all heard her say but all Adam could hear was the hoarseness in her tone and the blood covering her body. “Rose, come on, we need to get those cuts cleaned up right now okay? You can talk to Adam afterwards but just let me take you upstairs and we’ll get you taken care of, okay?” Sutton was talking and Adam just retreated into the back room to get his thoughts straight as Sutton told Plum to get some pain meds out.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose’s eyes lingered on Adam, and they stayed on him until he stepped out of her site and went somewhere else. She didn’t know how to feel about it, mostly she figured that he was so angry he couldn’t be around her, or she also thought it was because she was battered up. “I’m fine Sutton...

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose listned to everything Kheri was saying and she nodded. SHe iddn’t like it, she didn’t like leavin this lace with out kheri with her. Not only because she din’t want the other girl to be here alone, but because she feared tha tif she arrived back at the Rhodes’ house with out her, she would probably be punished by Mr. Rhodes or by another gang member for be leaving kheri alone. “Okay…. I promise.” She nodded, agrreeing to what Kheri was saying. “I’ll tell them if you don’t make it with me, I promise.”

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“Tell them that I told you to go to them, okay? I promise I’ll try to get out of here but you’ve got to do this and I believe in you.” She said, patting her on the shoulders while taking a deep breath. She turned. Closed her eyes. Grabbed the doorknob. Turned it. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. “Fuck.” She looked around. She had very little time to make a decision. She could run with Rose. They could both get out. But the men were much stronger and faster they’d catch them both. She could let Rose get out, save her, have some sort of hope that help would arrive in time. She could leave. Get out herself. Leave Rose there defenseless so she could live. But she couldn’t do that, so in a split second she was kicking a window until most of the glass was broken. “Okay Rose remember what I told you. Go. Go and run!” She shouted, practically shoving her out the window. She watched Rose clear the sidewalk and turned around in just enough time to receive a punch to the side of her head and she didn’t even see whose chest it was that she landed a knife in but she pulled it down with all her might until blood spilled on her hands.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose quickly, well as qucikly as she could, escaped ffrom the window but not before looing back at Kheri. Jumping down, she hissed in pain not only because of the shards of glass she cut her legs on but from landing o her feet. Standing up quickly she started running, feeling happy that she took cross coutry and track in high school so she could actually run long distnaneces. Stopping only for a second, she took a look back, only for a brief second before she started running again. ONce she was sure she was far enough away from the house she was previously in, she slowed down and started taking back streets and weird ways to get to Marcus’ house, this way the guys that were after them wouldn’t know which wy to get her if they were near. Whens he finally got to Marcus’ house she pushed the door open and closed it behind her. She saw Marcus turn around and look at he with shock. “Kheri... is at Mikeys’...she told me to come here and tell you ...” Rose told him, catching her breath.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose heard Kheri’s voice and so she opened he reyes and looked at the other girl,wondering what her plan was. Once she escaped, she was confused on how she even did that, but when Kheri came back with a knife and the tape beig pulled off her face, she knew that they were both going to get out of here. “You’re coming with me, right?” She asked quietly. “I’m not going to be leaving without you. You can’t stay here, I wont let you stay here, Kheri.”

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

She made no promises. She never could in a life like this because she could get out another time if she had to. “Of course I am.” She said with a scoff. “But hey, you’re the main target here. Okay? You keep yourself. Don’t you worry about me.” She insisted, then tiptoed back into the kitchen, leaping and landing on furniture without making a noise and wielding a knife. “When I open this door we need to run. Okay? Run all the way to Marcus’. That’s the only place we’ll be safe again tonight. Don’t trust anyone who offers you emergency help because it’s probably not help and you’ll make it to Marcus’.” She whispered, holding Rose’s head between her hands because this needed to be taken seriously. “And if something does happen and I can’t go with you I need you to go. Go and tell them I’m at Mikey’s house. You’ll be my only hope if that happens so I need you to say you’ll do that and then I’ll open this door.” 

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose listned to everything Kheri was saying and she nodded. SHe iddn’t like it, she didn’t like leavin this lace with out kheri with her.

Rose’s eyes widened at Kheringtons words, wondering what the hell she was doing, but she had to tell herself this was all an act. Looking over to Kherington after sehe was tied up again, she decided to follow kheringtons lead and close her eyes. Taking slow, deep breaths, she tried to make herself fall asleep, but she couldn’t so she continued to take slow and deep breaths. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

She waited until there wasn’t a single noise in the house. Not even a creak before she started moving. “Ah my fuckin’ neck.” She hissed quietly, weaving the blade out of its place in her panties. She was putting a lot of faith on this blade and she ran it along the rope holding her hands over and over until they were free. Silently she untied her feet too. She left, not even looking back at Rose to grab a knife because she didn’t have time tie untie another set and she may need a knife anyway. So she crept back to Rose, avoiding any creaks the house might make was one of her many skills. “Hey - I’m going to get you out of her, okay?” She said in a hushed whisper, gently pulling the tape off of Rose’s mouth. “You’re going to get out of here. I promise.”

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose heard Kheri’s voice and so she opened he reyes and looked at the other girl,wondering what her plan was.

[pomegranatedreams-aublog]

Rose didn’t know what to think as she watched Kheri interact with their captors. However, she knew she trusted Kheri - even if they had their differences. Although, asmuch as she trusted Kheri, she still feared that maybe KHeri would be selfish enough to leave her hear as she escaped herself. HOwever as she listned to kheri, she felt herself relax only a little hearing everything she was saying. She watched as the guy walked Kherit o the restroom and Rose tried taking deep breaths to calm herself, but it wasn’t helping. She just wanted to Adam. She  was hating herself for even wanting to make herself look nicer for him, she should have jus t stayed with him because she kew that o matter what she looked like, he thought she was beautiful. Rose closed her eyes and took a deep breath, knowing that Kheri was going to have a plan to get them out of there. 

[joces-au-characters-deactivated]

“What’s taking you so long?!” There was a fist pounding on the door and Kheri rolled her eyes inside. The real answer was because she was taking the blades out of the razor she’d found.

“Well if you’re really curious I just found out I’ve been bleeding out of my vagina for the last two hours that you’ve had me fucking tied up and since the sausage fest you have going on around here probably doesn’t have any tampons I’m making do.” She huffed but instead she wove the blade in the fabric of her panties before washing her hands. 

“Let’s go.” She said, walking out and into the living room again. “Alright Poppy and I are going to sleep. Lock all your doors and tie me up real tight so you can sleep well tonight Baby.” She said, grinning at the man who went to turn around feeling a bit sexually confused because this was The Enemy. “Unless you want me to visit you later on…” She whispered in his ear. He straightened up. 

“Shut up.” He said but she still smirked as she looked over at the other one.

“Offer still stands for you Baby.” He didn’t go for it either. Instead they stood their until they both fell asleep. Maybe Rose had actually slept but Kherington just slowed her breaths and faked some snores while her mind was still racing.

Rose’s eyes widened at Kheringtons words, wondering what the hell she was doing, but she had to tell herself this was all an act. Looking over to Kherington after sehe was tied up again, she decided to follow kheringtons lead and close her eyes. Taking slow, deep breaths, she tried to make herself fall asleep, but she couldn’t so she continued to take slow and deep breaths.
