Everything is slipping away!

Author's POV

"I want everyone there in 1 hour... Come on now fuck off..."

Olivia said to everyone.

"What Olivia, seriously... Pool party?... Do you have any idea what's going on in the house ?..."

Daniel whispered yelled at her.

"Yeah, I know... I am just trying to lighten everyone's mood man and damian has no problem with it..."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"And one more thing girls... No bikini no entry..."

She said smiling innocently and turned on her heals.

"Who is she?..."

Isabella asked to jack.

"Damian's best friend..."

Jack replied making isabella frown.

"Don't worry sweetheart, she is lesbian..."

Jack chuckled making isabella sigh in relief.

Rose went to his room, she didn't wanted to join the pool party anyway. Isabella was going to be with damian and rose didn't wanted to put salt on her own wounds by watching them in the pool so she decided to stay in her room instead.

Rose heard the knock on the door and Olivia came in with a bag in her hands.

"Why are you standing, aren't you getting ready ?..."

She frowned.

"No I don't want to, please..."

Rose said sitting on the bed.

"But I brought this bikini specially for you..."

Olivia whined.

"I think I should have listened to damian..."

She said and rose looked at her.

"Damian?"

"Yeah, he said that I shouldn't have bought it. Rose won't come out in the bikini anyway. Let her stay in her room..."

Olivia told and she frowned.

"He said what?..."

Rose took the bag from her hands and thanked her,

"No problem..."

Olivia smirked.

All the boys were sitting at the pool ready for the party but the girls were yet to come.

"Where the hell are all the girls..."

Joseph asked bored.

"They are here..."

Ashton said and everyone's attention turned towards girls who were slaying in their bikinis.

Damian looked at them boringly and leaned back in his chair, showing no interest at all.

"Wow, senior rose looks quite hot in bikini..."

Ashton said impressed.

Damian quickly looked at her sitting straight.

"She is not rose, she is isabella..."

Damian said and all the boys looked at him impressed on how he recognised the difference between the twins.

"Looks like you know isabella too well..."

Daniel teased

"No I know rose too well..."

He looked at isabella who was wearing a black bikini.

Even if she looked so alike rose they had small differences between them and damian remembers every single detail about Rose's body. They looked the same to everyone but for damian they were totally different from eachother.

"Okay girls, take your seats..."

Olivia ordered and all the girls went to take a seat but she stopped them.

"Ohh no ladies, take a seat on your man's lap..."

She smirked.

Daniel and Joseph has called there girlfriends so they were happy to make them sit on their laps. Lilly sat with jack, Charlie with Ashton. Emily with Olivia and isabella on damian's lap.

"Sorry bro I think you would have to stay alone tonight..."

Ashton said to Jackson which made damian chuckle.

Jackson smirked.

"No I don't have to..."

He cocked his head towards the door and everyone followed his gaze.

Damian's mouth dropped along with everyone when they saw rose coming out. She was wearing a red colour bikini and was looking smoking hot.

"Wow..."

Daniel said stunned by looking at her.

Damian glared at Olivia and she winked at him.

His possessiveness started taking a toll on him when all the boys checked her out.

He was about to stand up and drag her back in the house away from all the lustful glances she was getting.

But isabella interrupted.

"What happened dami?..."

She asked looking at his angry face.

"Nothing..."

He answered not taking his eyes off of rose.

Rose saw isabella sitting on damian's lap and her heart clenched in pain. It was her place, rose used to sit on his lap everytime.

"What took you so long..."

Jackson stood up and kissed her cheek, smirking at damian.

Everyone's eyes nearly popped out from their socket when they saw them. Damian's insides started burning in anger. He wanted to wipe that smirk off his face and drown him in the pool until he stops breathing.

Rose looked at damian and Jackson would have been six feet under the ground if looks could kill someone.

Jackson sat down and pulled rose on his lap.

"I don't think you need to do all these things Jackie..."

Rose said, she was trying her best to ignore the heated gaze she was feeling on her all the time and sitting half naked on Jackson's lap was not helping her either, she shifted uncomfortably on his lap.

"Stop moving rose, don't blame me if you feel something on your thighs after this..."

Jackson teased and she smacked his arm.

"I'll kill you..."

She threatened making him laugh.

"Ok ok sorry... And yeah it's important. Can't you see he is not even glancing at isabella, I am sure he is ready to kill me right now..."

Jackson said and wrapped his hands around her waist to tease damian more.

Other girls stood up and decided to entere the pool.

Damian's grip tightened on his glass when he saw Jackson touching rose. He stood up and strode towards him but jack stopped him.

"Not here damian, control yourself..."

Damian took deep breaths and sat down back on his place.

Few minutes later Jackson got a phone call.

"What happened ?..."

Rose asked.

"Duty call.."

Jackson said and left the party.

Rose looked at damian and he was smirking, it was enough to tell her that Damian's hand was behind it.

Rose rolled her eyes at him and walked inside. Damian glanced at isabella and she was busy playing in the pool.

Damian followed rose behind, he grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall.

"Let go damian..."

She tried to push him away

"What the fuck were you doing with him..."

He spat madly.

Rose pushed him back.

"The same thing you were doing with her..."

She spat back and he released a frustrated sigh.

"What now, you don't have any answers. Don't want to get mad at me anymore..."

She chuckled bitterly.

"What do you want me to do then..."

He asked defeated.

"Is it my fault, tell me rose... Whatever is happening, is this my fault."

"I don't know... I don't know damian, but I can't see you with someone else. It's too much to take, every second I feel like I am loosing you. Everything is slipping from my hand like sand."

Her eyes went glossy.

"My whole life I have been a second choice, like an option. I don't want to become someone's option anymore damian, if you want isabella just go to her, just go but please don't keep me hanging here on the edge where I don't know if you belong to me anymore or not. I don't want to live like this..."

Her voice broke.

Damian pulled her in his embrace and rubbed her back gently.

"You are not an option rose, there is no one in this world who can take your place. Just give me some time I will fix it. Trust me please..."

He pleaded hugging her tightly.

****

Damian was jogging around the mansion, it was a pleasant morning but his mind was only thinking about rose, the way she talked to him yesterday it broke his heart.

"Hii, dami..."

He stopped running and looked at her and greeted her back.

"What are you doing here..."

He asked.

"It's a beautiful morning so I came to the garden, I like it..."

She replied.

They were talking when damian saw rose coming out from the main door, she was wearing black clothes and boots.

"Good morning Arie..."

Isabella said and rose wished her back.

"Rose, where are you going?..."

Damian asked frowning.

"It's Sunday boss, I am taking a day off..."

She replied in monotone and walked past them.

Rose sat on her bike and left leaving them behind.

Damian saw her disappearing behind the big metal gate and sighed in defeat.

"Why do you call her rose, her name is Arabella..."

Isabella said.

"Because she is rose..."

Damian said looking at all the roses in the garden he has been cherishing till now with all his care and love.

Rose drove towards the hills, she parked her bike and walked in towards the edge, she could see the whole city from their.

She stood there and felt the cold morning breeze for a while trying to forget her pain.

She knew emotional pain hurts more than physical pain and that's why she always kept her emotions in check.

She sat down leaning against the tree.

She was lost in her thoughts but then she heard someone sobbing, she roamed her eyes around her and saw a teenage boy standing dangerously close to the edge as he was ready to jump anytime now.

"Hey boy are you trying to die here?..."

She asked like she is asking about weather. That boy looked at her and frowned.

"Do you think I am here for picnic, ofcourse I am trying to jump off the cliff..."

He said madly.

"Ok, sorry to disturb you. Please continue..."

She replied and looked away.

That boy closed his eyes and again mustered up the courage to jump. His legs were shaking and he was fully covered in sweat.

"Let me tell you, you won't die from jumping here it's not that deep. You will just break your bones and end up in hospital for months maybe some of your body parts will get permanently damaged along with hospital bills..."

She said and the boy looked at her.

"How can you be so sure?..."

He questioned.

"Experience..."

She shrugged.

He grabbed his head frustratingly and stepped back, he sat down defeated and leaned back against the tree just like rose.

"Do you need help in dying... I can help you..."

She said pulling out her gun.

His eyes widened at the gun. She unlocked the safety and pointed towards him.

"Stop, are you crazy..."

He yelled.

"Why are you so scared now, you wanted to die right so I am making it easy for you..."

She chuckled looking at his terrified face.

"What if police arrests you for this..."

He reasoned.

"I am in the mafia, no one will find out don't worry..."

She replied smirking.

"Yeah fine kill me, I don't have anything to live for anyway..."

He said defeated.

Rose pulled back the gun.

"What happened?..."

"I am a looser, no one likes me... My mom died, my girlfriend left me and my dad treats me like I am a curse for him... I don't have friends, I have nothing to loose, I am a pathetic and miserable boy so I just wanna end it..."

He took of his glasses and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

"You call it a reason to end your life. Do you have any idea how stupid you are sounding right now..."

She looked at him in disbelief.

"Don't you care about yourself, is your life that worthless..."

"Yes that's what everyone calls me, worthless!..."

He replied.

"How many people do you know?..."

She asked.

"Around thousand... Why?..."

He asked confused.

"Do you know what's the population of this world?..."

She asked...

"Over 7 billion I guess..."

"Right over 7 billion and you are ending your life because the thousand people you know from these 7 billions are calling you a looser..."

She said and he looked down.

"How does it sound..."

"It sounds stupid..."

He mumbled.

"Do you think people care, no... No one cares... They will only come to your funeral and will say few good things, mourn for you for hardly two days or to show others that they cared for you and that's it. No one will remember you after that. They will live their life happily... Then who is the one who will loose everything..."

He looked at her and whatever she was saying was totally right..

"Me..."

"You look smart then why are you behaving like a stupid person..."

"Then what do I do?..."

He asked frustratingly.

"Go somewhere else, leave the people who are trying to pull you down or hold you back. Whenever you think you lost everything always remember that it's not the end it's just a new beginning. People can only hold you back as much as you let them. So go back and take control of your life.."

He smiled listening at her words.

"I didn't thought someone from mafia can encourage someone to live. Who told you all these things..."

"My father..."

Rose smiled while taking his name.

"Thanks for saving my life, what's your name by the way..."

He asked curiously.

"Rose..."

"I am Tylor..."

"Ok Tylor don't take your life too lightly, I charge millions to kill someone..."

She smirked making him gulp.

"I'll keep that in mind..."

He smiled nervously.
