Rose's POV
We get home at midnight and I walk in the door to a big mess. Pizza boxes on the counter, the trash is full and bags on the floor of trash. "Nathaniel!" I scream I scare ethan half to death he comes running in with my bag. Nathaniel and Eric come up the steps laughing and I walk to the door crossing my arms pissed off. They open the door and stop laughing and smiling. "Nathaniel, what the hell?!" he looks at me with his sad eyes. I sigh and look to Eric. He gives me the go easy on him, please. "Alright, alright. Y'all go to bed now, but I want this house clean tomorrow. Understood?" They both nod. I know I am going to clean it tonight, but I will make them clean a lot tomorrow. I look towards ethan. "Go take a shower." I don't ask I order him to. He goes into the room and I start by taking out the trash and taking out the pizza boxes. Ethan takes a 20-minute shower and I am doing the dishes when he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and puts his head on my shoulder and lightly kisses my neck it sends shivers down my spine and I stop doing the dishes and turn the water off. "Ethan come on, not now I can't" I say turning around to face him and he forces our lips to touch and I fall into his kiss and can fall into his arms.
I push him away and bring my fingers to my lips and trace the kiss like it's still there. I want more of him his kiss was so amazingly crazy and sweet. "Fine you got me." I say. I yawn and look him in the eyes, his eyes are a beautiful blue and looks like the ocean and i just love to look into them and every second looking into them makes me want him even more. "Lets go to bed." He says in a whisper. I yawn again and i head to the bedroom and lay down. Ethan turns off the lights and shuts the door and crawls in bed and snuggles me, his embrace is strong and it's nice and i fall asleep.
I wake up to the twins screaming. It's around 2am and i jump up and grab a gun from the dresser and head out quietly, I am careful with every step and ethan follows behind me. I hear the twins crying and i know that they are hiding somewhere. This house used to be safe and we had places to hide and we all knew where to go there are hidden spaces that no one knows unless they have been to this house before. I know exactly where the twins are because they love to hide in one spot together and i should get to the twins first even though nathaniel and eric's room is closer, i'll just send ethan to do it. He walks slowly to the boys room and i move toward the twins room and I grasp my dads gun tightly and open the door slowly there is a tall shadow and i cock the gun and keep it lowered."Who are you?" I ask aiming the gun. The person mumbles and i turn the light on and scream.
The sight is horrifying and i know i should pull the trigger, but it's the one person i didn't expect to still be alive. "M-mom, You're alive!" I lower the gun, but i'm still afraid. She looks at me and i know i am crying, but i am so numb and can't move. Ethan comes rushing in with nathaniel and eric. The twins are hugging her and i can't move, but i know this has to be a trick. She is covered in blood and her clothes are muddy. "Girls back away from her." I say sternly. They refuse so i grab them both and point to ethan to take them away. I slowly walk over to mom and i take her hand and nathaniel goes with ethan. "Eric i need your help." I say looking at him. "I need 3 towels and if you go into where i am sleeping there are my moms clothes in the dresser grab them and bring them to me please."
It's been a week since she came back. I've been busy with the twins raising them and other stuff. Ethan has been busy finding a job and things. Mom hasn't really spoken. I took her to the doctor and the he said she needs rest so I let her rest. Ethan and I have been sleeping in my room leaving mom to her bedroom.
