How Did We Get So Tangled: Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Friends or enemies…
People around her had been quiet when Rosalinde finally emerged from the room, she has simply smiled, acknowledging them with a silent regard but clearly not engaging anyone. She had only just received the panicked text and yet, she wasn’t rushing to get to the new drama, she’d walk and wait… hope things worked out.
She’d found Isabelle in the waiting area, silently shaking.
“What did you do this time?”
That had got her a reaction, the one she’d expected. Isabelle had been angry, raging at her and beating weakly at her until she finally cried, hiding her face against Rosalinde’s shoulder, sobbing silently.
She had been still silent as they were at Katie’s side, watching as Rosalinde checked the girl over. She was silent, shaking and terrified. Rosalinde had known instantly what had happened and she spoke quietly.
“She’s going to be in here for at least a week…”
She’d paused then added quietly.
“You can stay with us… for a while.”
“Us?”
Ah, she’d picked up on it… well, at least now she’d know.
“Jodeyne’s staying with me…”
“Why?”
Rosalinde sighed softly.
“Why the hell do you think ‘Belle? She’s practically crippled thanks to you…”
“That wasn’t my fault…”
“You weren’t driving the car… but you broke her heart.”
“Rosa…”
“No! You were entirely selfish!”
“Rose…”
“Are you staying or not? I’ve got to get back to her…”
“Screw you!”
Rosalinde’s eyes had narrowed and she’d turned to walk silently away.
