° Our Fate °
Rose Martin
I am Rose... Rose Martin, my mom Riley Martin.... I was born in France, but we moved to Paris when I was 6 years old
I still remember the time my father kicked us out of his house for his mistress and 4-year-old boy whom I can say my step-brother....
My Mom owned a small business of architecture, so it wasn't that hard for her to raise me
Now I am 15 years old going to be 16 within 2 months
My mom always had been busy since we moved to Paris, work is all she got.... her day starts from 5:00 am to 3:00 am the next day... after two hours of sleep she again emerges in her work
She used to be so sweet with me until we moved here.... but she changed.... or I say the situations, problems and the past changed her
She loved my dad a lot, but what she got in return? Humiliations? Beating? Got cheated? Got kicked out with her 6-year-old daughter?
I can understand... well maybe I can't... we can't understand someone's situation until we are in one... I pray I will never be in such situation... as even I can't understand her pain, but I saw her trembling in corner of room after getting beaten up, I saw how she begged my father not to beat her, how she tried to save her married life, how much she suffered and went through
I don't want to be in same shape... helpless because loving you partner more than anything in world
I have been alone for 20 hours in a day from that fragile age, my mom used to come home for 4 hours in which she works for two and sleep for rest
I haven't talked to her from nine years, not because we had fight, or I have problem with her, but because she didn't have a single second for me, even to glance at me,
She fulfilled my all wishes by the letters I wrote to Santa Claus till the age of 10, but I stopped writing them after that, since she doesn't know what I want, what I need and what I am like
I keep journals, it makes me feel that I can share my things with someone
I don't have a single friend in these nine years, nor am I planning to have in the future.... it is calm and peaceful to be alone, we can understand ourselves better than anyone can
Well today I saw something strange, something weird
Nothing like aliens from Mars or Creatures from movies like Creature or IT but still that was strange
I saw a boy, he looked like he is in his teenage but older than me.... ember eyes, perfect sharp nose, baby pink colored lips... kissable one, dark brown hair and may body, not perfectly built but enough to make any girl fall for it...
He was sitting on a bench in front of my house when I returned from school, he started at me for few minutes then left
You must be thinking what is weird in it… Right? But the thing is he is always there on bench from last one month, but surprisingly I don't know where his home is...... I tried following him to calm the thirst of my curiosity but when I was following, sorry, I am stalking him he disappeared in woods which is around 30 kilometers from my house
The point is, what a teenage boy will do 30 kilometers away from his house, well I don't even know if he lived there or not.... coming to second point that why he sits on that bench and stare at me intensely before leaving and third why he keeps doing this from one month?
I have never been close to any boy in my life except one of my friend, yeah I remember I said I don't have friends, but I never said no one sees me as friend, he always clings to me like baby and protect me like a brother.... I didn't make official that whether we are friends or best friends, but he keeps roaming around me... he loved my personal space (sighs)
Well his name is... wait what is his name? ****! I never asked his name neither he told well that's all for today I will meet you guys tomorrow
Adam Martin
Hi, am Rose… Remember? Well right now I cane back from school and yeah that strange boy was there again, well as soon as I entered the house I saw a couch potato having chips and watching BL drama, Kinnporsche, I moved towards him and grabbed the packet of chips while he looked, sorry glared at me,
Adam Martin
What are you doing?!
He said in irritated voice and tried to take the packet back, but he is shorter than me by height and older by age, so he couldn't
After trying a lot he finally gave up and sat on couch with puffed cheeks (chuckles) he is cute
Rose Martin
Why are you having snacks at time of lunch?
Yeah, I came early today as I didn't have many classes in school, so it is nearly two in noon
Adam Martin
What lunch? Did you forget that it was your turn to make dinner? Why will I prepare?
Really? Like he can have snacks but can't cook as it is my turn? Darn!! He knows well to irritate me
I sighed as their in no way I can argue with him when am tired as ****!
I marched towards kitchen and started preparing food while I can feel that Adam is starting at me
I was cutting veggies when he came to me and sat on the counter
I asked without looking at him and continued to cut the vegetables
Adam Martin
How was your day?
Well yeah no matter how much we irritate each other, but we know when the other is sad or tensed, I guess that's what sibling bond is.
Well I didn't introduced him, he is my older brother Adam Martin, mom adopted him as his parents were my mother's best friend who died in car accident, he knows that but never said anything and accepted us as his family, he took care of me in absence of my Mom. He pampered me, but we can't express our love as our ego comes between, so we just show it in some ways whenever possible
I was lost in thoughts when he pats my shoulder making me come out of my dreamland that looks up at him
Adam Martin
I asked, how was your day?
Rose Martin
What you think?
Rose Martin
More than that!
Saying that I started cooking without saying anything further
Adam Martin
Who is that boy? On bench every day?
I was shocked... he noticed? He hates to step out of house unless he has work or have to travel, yeah he loved to travel... I don't think that boy knows about Adam yet, he thinks that I live alone here for whole day... well that's what I think or who else have guts to wait for girl while her brother is in house too, and he can get caught
Adam Martin
You lost in thoughts again!
Adam Martin
Yes! I noticed him! Why not, he keeps eyes on you from last month!!
Rose Martin
Well, I don't know him, like I don't know who he is... or where he is from... nothing
Adam Martin
I believe you, I will talk to him—
Rose Martin
No! Not until he himself takes step further
He sighed and nodded while going back to living room
I know he cares, but I don't want to make him fell in trouble, he always helps me and get involved in trouble he has no links to
I made lunch and set on dinner table, while calling Adam
Yeah, I call him Old Man as he always used to say "I have seen more world then you" yeah one year more than me lol
Adam Martin
Yaah!!! I am not Old!!
He shouted while coming towards the table and took his seat
Rose Martin
Yeah yeah you are cute, sexy and hot
Adam Martin
I know that (flips his hair)
God this idiot, well he is cute
Adam Martin
So anything to say?
Rose Martin
No, nothing well mom messaged me saying she will be home early today
Yeah she messaged me first time, I was myself shocked and rubbed my eyes to if I am hallucinating?
Rose Martin
Yeah, shocking right?
Adam Martin
Of course! It's been nine years since she even talked to us
Rose Martin
I know (sighs)
Adam Martin
Well be happy no need to be sad dummy maybe everything will be better now?
Rose Martin
Hope so (smiles)
Rose Martin
How is your homeschooling going?
He is having homeschooling as he is kind of introvert, not more than me but gates to be involved in trouble
Adam Martin
It is going well, I was deciding to go to boarding school in France
Adam Martin
No need to worry, I don't know then, so they won't find me, nor I have interest in talking to the bastard who made my mom and sister worried
I smiled and continued eating, he knew what I was worried about, my father, I don't want him to find us as he will cause trouble, nor I have enough guts to face my stepfamily
Rose Martin
Did you talked to mom about it?
Adam Martin
Not yet, as she is coming tonight, so I will talk to her
Adam Martin
But remember be careful from that weird stalker and keep doors close in my absence ok? I think you better video call me whenever you are alone after school ok?
Rose Martin
Okay my brother (smiles)
Asher Brown
After having dinner I went to my room and had quick shower, knowing that mom will be back and spend time with me is enough to dance in joy
I will not lie if I say I didn't miss her, I missed her every day, every second with every breath
After bathing I came to living room and saw Adam working on his assignments, didn't want to interest him, so I went to the garden in front of my house
There were still three hours for mom to arrive, so I thought to have a walk around, it's been long since I have roamed here and there
I was sitting on bench while looking at kids playing around, suddenly I felt someone staring at me
I was afraid, of course who won't be?... I looked towards the source and my eye widen in shock... that's none other than that boy!
He was looking at me time to time... well I didn't have bad feelings about it, but that's what I am afraid of!! Why am I not afraid?!
When I was lost in my thoughts, he shoots up and started walking towards me
Well now I feel my heartbeat rising, I am not blushing or something but damn, I am nervous
Adam Martin
*What a nice drama* (watching everything from balcony with popcorn and sprite)
The boy stood in front of me and stayed quite
After gathering a lot of courage I decided to speak up!
Damn!!! Why my voice sounded so weird? This boy has huge effect on me (sighs)
Asher Brown
I-I am Asher Brown
He told his name and was quite again, well what a weird boy, I decided to keep the conversation going
Rose Martin
Why? Why you keep stalk—
Asher Brown
I don't stalk you! I just wanted to meet you
Eh!— but who meets like that? And why do he wanna me?
Rose Martin
Why? Do I know you?
Asher Brown
You don't, actually a month ago you were passing through the area after woods, remember you saw a boy injured at roadside?
Well yeah I went to that side for some work, and I did saw an injured guy over there, he was bleeding through in knees and elbow
Rose Martin
Well, yeah... so?
Asher Brown
You helped him to get to doctor and paid for medical bills too, I am that boy, and I wanted to thank about that
Well.... was there need to talk me for one month just to thank me for that?
Rose Martin
I appreciate you mind set and there is no need to thank, that was my work as human fir humanity
Rose Martin
Well myself Rose Martin (forwards had to shake)
Asher Brown
(looked down at hand and just nodded)
Even he is handsome and pretty, but he is too weird, I just took me hand back and decided to leave
Rose Martin
I will be get going then
Asher Brown
well... um nothing (leaves)
Rose Martin
I was right too weird (sighs)
A boy was sitting in a small wooden house which was pretty old to stay in
He was sitting on floor in this chilly night and thinking about someone
Asher Brown
Rose, why she helped me that time?... no one ever did, but j appreciate, or I might have just ignored the wounds because of cost of medical treatment
Asher Brown
She is pretty (smiles)
Asher Brown
well it is dark now I should sleep
The boy picked up an old towel and a thin bed sheet, setting it on floor he covered himself with towel and drifted to sleep
