Redhead.
Faith
She looked down, ashamed.
"I, uh" I saw her cheeks flame up, as she continued,"i maybe tried to, um..." her gaze flickered anywhere where I wasn't.
"Just spit it out, Rose" I said, impatiently patient.
"I tried to k-k-ill myself", her words ending in nothing but a broken whisper.
The silence was painful. It wasn't comfortable. I stared at the girl lying in the white hospital sheets, wondering why she would do such a thing.
"Why?" I asked, curious, but anger seeping through my words, and apparently quite prominently by the was Roses face winced. She hung her head and whispered,
"I don't know"
I couldn't be that patient, silent, understanding Cole any longer. Because I didn't understand. And I was so fucking angry at her.
"Don't you dare say that you don't know! How could you do that to yourself! To Kate! To me!" I exploded, feeling my heart beating erratically, waiting on her answer.
"Maybe the guilt was just too much Cole! I have hurt so many fucking people! I can't stand being me anymore! I've screwed up too many people. Now I have no one." Her voice raising, with the fire that she used to have. But it ended with the side that she only let out in front of me. The soft, broken one. I felt myself soften at her words. I stepped forward slightly, and held onto her hand, feeling the scar of when she fell through a window when she was 11 rub against my hand. I looked down at her, and spoke with pure honesty,
"Rose, you'll always have me"
"My mum died when she was giving birth to Kate. Dad left two months before, so we lived with my aunt Matilda. Dad left us in the lurch. I guess that's when I lost faith in men in general, I guess" She said nonchalantly, as if it didn't bother her. But I saw right through it.
I layed my hand atop of hers and said quite gently,
"Have faith in me" she smiled slightly, and replied
"You're the only one I can, and the only one I want to"
"I, uh" I saw her cheeks flame up, as she continued,"i maybe tried to, um..." her gaze flickered anywhere where I wasn't.
