Chapter 42

Eventually, Rose fell asleep. My phone was ringing. The call was from Layla. I pressed answer
"Hello?"
"Melissa, guess what?! WE WON THE GAME! And it's all thanks to Brett!" Layla yelled on the phone.
"That's great!"
"We're all gonna have a celebration party later. You wanna come?" Layla asked. I heard the guys shouting and cherring at the background.
"No, I have to stay home with Rose. Something came up." I told her.
"Aw, but it wouldn't be the same without you!"
I laughed. "Thanks."
"By the way, Katy is asking if Rose is alright."
"Wait, did I hear you say Katy? Katy is with you guys?" I asked.
"Yeah, we all totally made up!"
I smiled. "That's awesome! But you guys should be celebrating now. Have fun!" I said before hanging up. I sighed. I wonder who Brett kissed.
I carried Rose up to her room, putting her on her bed. I kissed her forehead before leaving her room. A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell rang. I walked down the stairs and opened the door only to see.. everybody! When I say everybody, I mean all of my friends, the boys, and even Katy! The boys were holding pizza boxes.
"What are you all doing here?!" I said, shocked.
"We couldn't celebrate without you!" Lauren replied.
"So we decided to bring the party here!" Seth added.
"We wouldn't be good friends if partied without you, would we?" Stella chimed in.
"Isn't it awesome? We finally beated North High! And it's thanks to Brett!" Timmy mentioned.
"Come on, it was nothing." Brett assured.
"Are you kidding me? This is the first time we beated them!" Nick recalled.
"It's a totally big deal!" Ryan informed.
I laughed. "Congratulations on the win guys!"
"Melissa, is Rose okay?" Katy asked mem looking concerned. I love how Katy cares so much about Rose!
"Yeah, she's okay. She's in bed right now." I told her.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go in and partyyy!" Bonnie shouted.
Everyone enter my house, and we partied with pizza and drinks. We were about to play a game until Rose woke up and walked downstairs, seeing me and all of my friends.
"Are you all having a party without me?!" Rose questioned, sounding hurt.
"No! Join the party!" Brandon hollered. Rose ran and sat on my lap. We called the Knight's house and asked Lily if she wanted to join the party as well. It's a party, so of course she accepted the invitation and come over.
Soon, everyone had to leave and the house was left with Katy, Rose, and I.
"That was fun." Katy commented.
"The pizza was yummy!" Rose added.
"No arguing there." I said. That was an awesome night.
It was almost midnight now. I was currently in my room right now, reading my book. Katy and Rose were already sleeping. I don't blame them for sleeping, they must be tired from all of the excitement.
When I got over what happened today, it reminded me of Rose's words about mom. It stung my heart.
I decided that I needed some fresh air. I opened my window, and instead of talking to Brett, I climbed and lifted myself onto the roof. I sat on the roof, thinking about everything that has happened. I was already soaking wet, because it was still raining. I sighed. I then let a tear or two roll down my cheeks.
"Melissa?" I heard.
