"You can't tell me what I can and can't do!" she countered, narrowing her eyes at him, her hands on her hips.

"Well, ya don't seem to have any trouble tellin' me what to do!" He glowered, upset and annoyed.

"Because you don't know me. I know me, and I'm telling you, you don't want anything to do with me." Her hands clenched into fists as she got more and more agitated.

"Why not?! Gimme one good reason, cuz I'm not buyin' it!" He almost yelled, but refrained.

"That's your problem, then!" She wasn't giving him a reason. For, there was really only one, and she wasn't telling him that. Ever.

"No, it's yours! We coulda' had somethin' good, Rose! Real good!" And now he frowned out of frustration -- he was being rejected. Again.

"That's what you don't understand. We couldn't have. It never would've gone anywhere, and even if it did, it would've been bad. You don't want me, Tyler." Despite herself, Rose could feel the lump forming in her throat and the tears starting to well up in her eyes.

He saw something in her eyes that made him pause. He lowered his voice. "Tell me, baby...what is it? What's wrong?"

Rose shoved him, though it was a pretty weak attempt. "Nothing's wrong! Stop calling me 'baby'!"

He grabbed hold of her wrists, holding her gently, but firm. "Rose, talk to me! Please!"

Rose could feel everything, all the anger and torment, reach a boiling point. "You wanna know why?!" she cried, almost in hysterics. "Because I'm damaged goods, that's why. You don't want me! Nobody wants a girl who's already broken."

He stared, still holding onto her. His eyes widened and he gathered her to him in a hug, rubbing her back. "Rosie...Rosie, baby, it's okay...what are ya talkin' about? Tell me..." Was she freaking out over not being a virgin??

Rose just gave in, going limp in his arms and letting the tears fall.
"The reason why I'm here...my parents sent me away... They thought I had an attitude problem... But...my father...he..." she couldn't finish the sentence.

Tyler blinked, then took a breath, comprehending. He held her tighter, kissing her hair. "Rosie...aw, Rosie, baby...I'm sorry..." Her father had hurt her. Bad, from the sound of it. And he wasn't sure what to do about it.

Rose just stood there, her head buried in Tyler's neck, unable to move. She had never told anyone what had happened, how her father had taken advantage of her innocence, and she was forever changed because of it. ((Bye! Off to my last day I'll start our thread when I get home!))
