♡ · @nickwildexx ; rosalie & elwood *sweats*
TO PUT IT IN THE SIMPLEST OF TERMS , rosalie was terrified . not in the same way a child fears the monster under her bed or perhaps the ever constant fear of straying too far from home while sleepwalking , but a much different kind . perhaps even worse than the above . had she been any bolder or any braver , she would've had the courage to let nick know she didn't want to see elwood . that wasn't necessarily true , but it wasn't a complete lie either . then again , how could she ever be so rude to a dear family friend , even more so in front of her own mother ? it would , at the very least , raise suspicion and considering the amount of things on her place , the princess really didn't need any more of that .
she'd been sitting in this very position for at least twenty minutes now , staring into the mirror while combing through already untangled locks . what was she even supposed to do or say at a time like this ? what do you say to the one person who dared to confess to you something so big , so important , albeit on accident , then disappeared the next day ? the worst , darkest part of her heard told her that maybe he didn't even deserve the chance to speak to her , but she couldn't do that . it'd be much too cruel . rosalie knew she could be selfish , bratty , but she wasn't evil .
and then she noticed another reflection in the mirror , right from the corner of her eyes .
there's a pause in the now almost robotic movement with which she combs her hair , caught off - guard . but she's quick to regain composure and continue the same useless action as before , still refusing to look away from her own reflection .
❛ i don't want to talk to you , ❜ she spoke , breaking the silence . her tone was cold , it left a strange taste behind , but it was the only one she could muster right now . ❛ you can stay here for a few minutes , just enough to make it seem like we're catching up , and then you're leaving . i'm sure the last part won't be much of a challenge , ❜ and maybe she was a bit cruel after all .
