91 Chapter 4: Winter, Nine Months Before Part Two (2/2)

”She may not be. But, believe it or not, if she tries, she's beautiful” said Cas budding in

”Really,” he said turning his head ”I'd love to see that”

”Why, have an interest in Rose.”

”Maybe.” The door opened just them

”Hey, Anthony you made it,” said, Patrick

'Yeah” said he said solemnly, Casey gave him the googly eye look. While Rose didn't bother to pay attention and went back to reading the book she took out. The guys went back to partying, and Anthony sits next to Rose on the seat. Cas moves over and sits between Rose and Anthony.

”What are you doing? There's a dreamboat right next to you.” Cas whispers in Rose's ear and her giggles and closes her book in response

”I'm going to the bathroom,” she whispered back to Cas as she got up to leave

”Hey, don't avoid the subject,” Cas said, but Rose only responded with a smile. As Rose looked in the

Mirror she closes her eyes and takes deep breaths. And walks out of the bathroom.

She comes to the door of the room but, before opening it. It opens instead, and Anthony makes his way-out giving Rose quite a shock. He stops for a moment and then takes Rose hand and pulls her forcefully giving Rose to time to react. In the background, you could hear Cas calling ”Rose,” but it's too late they're already gone. When Anthony finally stopped Rose had collapsed on the ground from exhaustion and let go of her hand, she doesn't notice she was inside a hotel lobby. Rose tried to stand but her legs where still sore and wobbly then Anthony came back and picked her up as if she was a feather. Rose looked as if she wanted to protest but didn't say anything as she watched tears roll from his eyes and let him take her down the hall.

It was morning, Rose finds herself alone in the bed. Holding on to the blanket she looks down her face becomes a little red and she smiles before getting up. After getting dressed, she notices a note on the dresser that says, ”For Your troubles” and a check that is just enough to pay for her family's debt. Rose Sighs as she looks at the check and leaves the hotel room.
