13 XII (1/2)
I was left in stunned silence after Week left my room. I had a promised because I was a demon, but what did that make Lizzie to me? Being with her just felt...right, but being here and Week taking care of me also just sounded right.
I dropped backwards onto my bed and the tears started falling. I hated all of this. I just wanted Lizzie back here with me. I wanted to go home to Angel, Levi, and Kai. I pulled my knees up to my chest and began to think. I needed to get out of here, but I didn't know the way to the door, then it hit me. I had a window in this room with me, I could get put that way.
I got up from the bed and tried the window, and it slid open easily. I looked down then noticed the drop from here. I wouldn't survive that even if I used my power.
I sighed and closed the window, deciding to walk around and explore the house. As I walked down the stairs, I noticed the downstairs was open and every wall was glass. I stared out and watched the sunrise through the window. I felt a presence appear next to me, but I ignored him as I stared enchanted by the view.
”This side of the house is positioned over a cliff, giving an amazing view over the rest of the woods. It's amazing, isn't it, Rosie girl?”
I flinched at the nickname. I then turned on my heel and stomped away, hearing Week chuckle in the room behind me. Then I saw it, the door. I looked and noticed that he was busy on his phone so I made a run for it. I got outside and started running through the woods, feeling safe and free for the first time. The forest around me was dark and a light started peeking out from between the trees in front of me. I ran for it then collapsed onto the ground.
”Having fun, Rosie girl?” I heard and looked up. Week stood in front of me and behind him stood the house I had just run from. I stood up and ran back through the forest. I ended back up in the clearing, and I did it a few times, taking different directions. Every time I tried to escape through the woods, I always ended back in the clearing with the house and Week. This time when I ended back, Week was sitting on the porch swing, watching me and laughing as I tried to get out. Then I looked over to the edge of the cliff opposite from me.
”Rose? Whatever you're thinking, stop thinking it,” a warning came, Week standing up in alarm as I made a run for the cliff. As I hit the edge, I heard Week's panicked screams as I jumped.
Falling is a scary sensation, it's like you're free until you remember that you're going to die at the end. Looking at the top of the cliff, I saw Week at the top, his cheeks looked glittery with tears as he watched me fall. As I watched him, I waited for the impending impact.

A pair of children laid out on a rock. The lake below them was clear and you could almost see all the way to the bottom in the whole thing. A girl started to laugh as the boy next to her smiled. They were watching the clouds and talking about what they saw.
”Hey, Week,” the girl started, ”do you ever wonder if my mom wanted me?”
The boy paused and sat up to look at her. Her silver hair was splayed out around her like a halo. Her eyes had started to glow a soft silver and her face held pure sadness in its depths.
”Of course she wanted you, Rosie girl. Who wouldn't want you?” he asked her, reaching over and grabbing her hand, trying to offer her comfort.
Rose was a girl who could only get comfort by physical touch. Words couldn't break past her mental walls, but she would melt and relax into the touch, no matter who it was. She pulled her hand away and sat up, wrapping her arms around her legs.
”She left me here, Week. What kind of mother does that? Definitely not one who wants her daughter,” at this point, tears started falling down her face.
