Chapter 13 - A Lonely Flower and A Dragon Work Together

When I opened my eyes I was in someone else's bed. It was really soft and comfortable.

I immediately shot up and looked around. This was indeed not my room.

'Did I get kidnapped!? Well, they're doing a horrible job. This room is quite luxurious and they didn't tie me up? What if I just leave?'

I was getting off the bed when I step on something.

It was a body.

I screamed.

'Are they alive?' I rolled them over with my foot.

'Draken! Did he get kidnapped too? Did they kill him!?' I was scared Draken was murdered, then I clearly saw his chest moving. I sighed in relief. 'He's alive.'

I got up and wandered around. By looking at the pictures, awards and records around the house, I realised that this was Draken's house.

'Did he kidnap me!?' I imagined a situation where Draken kidnapped me, then quickly fanned it away. 'I don't think he'd do that.'

I checked the window and doors anyway. They were all unlocked. Well, they were locked but I could open them from the inside so I didn't think he kidnapped me.

Then I saw myself in the mirror.

Once again, I screamed.

I was only wearing a shirt, that wasn't mine by the way. Luckily I was still wearing the same underwear as before which probably means he bathed and changed me because I stunk but he didn't remove them. Which made me calm down.

I tried to remember what happened before and it made my head hurt. But I remembered Draken helped me, we ran away and then I fainted.

'He must have brought me to his house because he didn't know what else to do with me. I'm glad he didn't leave me on the streets.' I returned to the bedroom. 'He even gave me his bed. How am I supposed to hate you if you keep contradicting yourself!? Hmph.'

I pulled him onto his bed. 'Jeez. You sleep like a log. Sigh. Sleep on your bed I'll sleep on the floor...

...

The floor is uncomfortable. I'm sleeping next to you.'

I awoke in the morning. I smelled food so I went to the kitchen.

...

Draken and I came to a conclusion. And so we started our plan. If management doesn't want to do anything we were going to make a situation where they have to.

"Ready?"

"Of course, "

Draken started a live stream.

"Hey guys, Thank you to all 500k of you that tuned in."

:What's with the surprise stream?

:Who would ever guess you, of all people, would do something off schedule?

:I feel sorry for the losers that don't have their notifications on. They're missing a momentous occasion.

"Today's stream is going to be a little different. Instead of gaming, behind the scenes or random tomfoolery, today's topic is serious."

:Draken being serious?

:Is the world about to end?

"I'm going to be revealing the truth behind a recent topic of discussion."

:Draco with the tea! Spill King!

"Rose Fleur is not a bully."

:What has she done now?

:Did she threaten him again?

"Y'all really hate don't you?"

:Of course

:Duh

: She and her stupid fans should just die already

"Listen here you disrespectful brat. Did I not tell you, bastards, to stop insulting my fans???" Rose could no longer sit still after that comment. She jumped up and yelled at the camera her back facing Draken.

:I knew she would have been behind this!

:She's hella bold!

:Don't worry Draco we'll protect you!

"Eek!" Draken grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him so that she would sit on his left thigh.

Rose's face flushed. She did not know how to react to the feelings she was feeling and the speed of her heart rate, so, she quietly bowed her head.

:??!!?!?

:what is happening?!

Draken's face was also flushed but he had a different reason for this.

"Ahem, now that it's been revealed I think I can just say it."

:No way! Are they dating???

"What?" I asked, confused how they came to that conclusion.

"Ahem. Rose and I are nothing more than classmates." Draken cleared his throat then stated.

:Classmates don't sit in each other's laps.

"..." He read the comment but chose to ignore it, "Anyway, some of you might have heard me talk about a celebrity that is hands down my favourite. I even mentioned her stage name, Rosie. Yet, no one guessed that I was talking about Rose. Since I finally met her in person I wanted to befriend her but it caused so many misunderstandings."

:I'm speechless. She's the girl you're so obsessed with that you hold her on a pedestal?

"What– Oh, I'm getting a call. Brb." I wanted to question them but I left the room to pick up my ringing phone.

Hope and Draken's manager were together. I could tell from sounds that they were speeding over. They had probably broken at least five traffic laws.

My sister was screaming at me. Her words have gotten harsher recently but some of the insults she used really hurt my feelings. The faucets that were my eyes were forcibly turned on and wouldn't turn off. After the call ended I tried to stop crying before entering the room again.

When I returned to Draken's filming room I was still crying but he needed to know our managers.

"Rose, are you okay?" He got up from his chair and started walking towards me.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Hope grabbed my wrist.

"Wait!" Even if she mistreated me recently, she was still my sister. I didn't want her to get in trouble. So I tried to warn her.

"Are you really that brain dead, you imbecile?? Haven't you caused enough problems for me!?" She was about to slap me when she heard her voice repeat.

She turned her attention to Draken's manager who had tuned in to the live stream.

"Why are you streaming?" He emphasized streaming.

Hope immediately hugged me.

"You big dummy. I was so worried when you didn't come home last night."

'But you are the one that let me get harassed on the streets and let Draken take me away.'

"End the stream." Draken's manager ordered.

"Help clear Rose's name," Draken stated firmly.

"What?" The managers said in unison.

"I won't end the stream until you agree in front of everyone."

"Fine, whatever."

"Rose, can you end it for me?" Draken's voice was softer and warmer when he addressed me.

"Okay,"

"Bye-bye, everyone~" I put on my brightest smile.

:Does anyone else not trust Hope?

:Wasn't she about to slap Rose?

:YES! Defend your girl! She'll fall for you in no time

:Bye~

:Bye Bye Rose

:Don't worry, Rose. We'll get to work quickly!

:I still don't like you but Draco does so I'll help defend you... But only for his sake! Anyway, you're cute, bye!

'What did Draken say while I was gone?' Rose was shocked. "It's ended." She informed.

"Hope, I wouldn't harm Rose's body in any way, if I were you. You'll get caught if she shows up to Celebrities' Life Beyond the Camera with any damage." Draken warned with a smug look.

"Shows up to... what?" His manager questioned.

"They've been trying to get me on the show for months now. I agreed as long as they did a special season with me and Rose together." Draken replied.

"Why would you—"

"Maybe if we had useful managers I wouldn't have to resort to things like this. Anyway, take her home and FEED her. She's too thin." Draken cut off Hope.

"It's rude to comment on a lady's weight." Hope frowned.

"I'll accuse you of starving her until I have proof otherwise." Draken's face grew colder as he observed her.

"We live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty." She smirked.

"Yeah, but that doesn't apply to you. Especially since I have proof that supports my belief."

My face flushed. I had eaten like a pig in front of him. It had been so long since I had good food I forgot my manners. It was very embarrassing. He wasn't referring to that was he? Or did he notice that I had lost so much weight my bones were starting to show?

"Ha! Yeah right. What is it then?"

"You should know. You're her "sister"." He smirked.

"What's with the air quotations?" Hope was growing more annoyed.

"It doesn't feel right to call you Rose's sister after knowing how you've treated her." Draken shrugged.

"What the hell!?" She would start a fight if this continued.

"Hope, let's go home." I decided to remove her from the situation.

"Don't tell me what to do, you—" She looked at Draken then paused.

"No, don't stop. Go on, continue. Rose hasn't told me anything if that's what you're worried about. You're just not very good at hiding your abuse and true feelings. Only someone like Rose would fall for it."

"Whatever!" Hope grabbed my wrist and stormed off
