"I'm not sure about this... What if there's Nolan in there? I don't want to see him." I begged Nicolas to not take me to his house. "Just ignore him, plus I wanted to show you something." he smiles. Okay? What now? I sigh and walk with him to his house. He was still holding my hand as we entered his house.
"Nicolas"
I heard someone say something, and when I turned to look at the person, it was none other than Nolan Flynn himself. And must I say, he does look attractive without a shirt on? Wait, what?
"Nolan"
Nicolas glared at him and pulled me upstairs to his room. As we walked past Nolan, he was staring at me in some sort of annoyance and anger. What was wrong with him anyway? It wasn't my first time being in Nicolas's room, and I always love it here.
"What do you want to show me?" I said as I took a seat on his bed and crossed my legs. He stared at me weirdly. What? "Wait for a second." He said and went off somewhere. I decided to lie on his comfy bed. It smells so nice, I loved it in here. "Here"
He said, taking a seat next to me. It was an album, and I raised an eyebrow looking at him.
"Just look at it." he said, pointing at the album, and I decided to look at it. When I saw the first picture, it was a baby picture of someone. "Ohmygod, is this you? So cute!" I said truthfully, and he just rolled his eyes.
"Thatwas my dad." he sighs. Oh "You look just like him. Woah." I said, taking the second picture I saw next to his face. He chuckles. I don't actually know why he wanted me to see his dad's pictures. I mean, seriously, I don't get it. But something caught my eye. To be exact, a photograph of someone in their graduation gown, smiling widely.
"Wait.. Who's this?" I framed the picture and gave it to him. "My dad." he shrugged. What?! That was when it hit me. I run towards my bag and start searching for something. Or to be specific, a photograph that belongs to my mom. I was hoping that it was still there. Nicolas eyed me weirdly.
I could not believe this.
"What was that?" Nicolas said as he walked to me. I showed him both of the pictures and he was shocked. "How did you get this?" He asked, looking shocked to see the same photograph of his father.
"My mom." I whispered. We both stayed silent. "Wait.... So that means Roxy is your mom?" Nicolas asked, sounding surprised and curious. I was surprised to learn that Roxy's is my mother. Although I knew that Roxy was related to me, I did not expect her to be my mom. Like seriously? I decided to go home after that.
When I reached home, I saw my mom in the kitchen looking so happy. "Hey Rose! You're home." she said, smiling. I can't help but feel curious. "Yeah.. um, you look happy." I said almost confused because this is just so weird. "Why? Can't I be happy?" She chuckles and starts opening the fridge looking for something. I smiled at her. "No.. Is it just weird?" I shrugged.
I badly wanted to ask her about the photograph, but I don't know if this is the right time. "My cousin Diego is coming tonight with his wife. That is why I'm happy." she said, still smiling.
Oh...
"Okay. I'll be in my room if you need me." I said, and started to walk to my room. Should I ask her? I spent an hour in my room debating with myself if I should ask my mom about the photograph or not. I have been ignoring Nicolas's calls for the past thirty minutes. I just can't talk to him until I know what happened.
:Answer my call.
I received a text from Nicolas
:Rosa
I started to feel guilty. Why exactly am I doing this?
:I'll call you later.
I replied and turned off my phone. I decided to head downstairs to see if my mom's guests were already here or not. "Rosabelle! It's good to finally meet you!" I was surprised when someone attacked me in a hug. I raised an eyebrow at both of my parents and they just shrugged, looking at me. What?
"Um hello?" I said when the man finally pulled away from me. "My, oh my Roxy, she has your eyes!" The man said, and I was surprised to hear him call my mom Roxy. This was the first time someone called my mom Roxy. Mom just smiles at him while Dad just chuckles. What is happening here? "My name is Diego Palmer. Your mom's cousin?" He winked and I was surprised. He must have known something about mom and Nicolas' father.
I needed to investigate.
"And this is my lovely wife, Monica." he said, and I just smiled at her. She is indeed gorgeous with her blonde hair and green eyes.
The dinner was fine, but I was waiting for it to finish since I needed to ask Diego or my mom's cousin a little question. Thankfully, it did. I saw Diego walking out of the dining room to answer a call from someone, and that's when I decided to show him the photograph.
"Rosabelle? Why are you here?" Diego spoke as he finished talking on the phone. "Just call me Rose." I smiled at him.
"Oh okay then, Rose, what brings you here?" He raised an eyebrow. "I just wanted to ask you something," I said truthfully, and I was too nervous to ask him about it. "What is it?" He said, sounding curious.
I looked around and felt relieved that no one was here, and so I reached out for the photograph in my pocket. "I just wanted to know about this." I said, giving him the photograph. He raised an eyebrow before reaching for the photograph.
"Noah Flynn. Where did you get this?"
He asked, sounding surprised. Noah Flynn? Flynn! That sounded familiar. "Um, my mom's old calculus text book? But she doesn't know who it is. May I know who is he?" I asked, hoping that he'd tell me the truth. He was silent for a moment.
"He was my friend back in high school and your mother's boyfriend, I guess."
He chuckled, looking at the photograph. boyfriend?! "You guess?" I raised an eyebrow. "Yeah.. We taught your mother and him had already broken up since your mother was going to London... Why did you ask?" He asked curiously. "Wait, but mom says she doesn't even know him?" I was confused. He sighed and smiled weakly. "Because of the crash. She forgot about everything. I guess including Noah too." he said and shrugged
"What crashed?" Mama never told us about this.
"A plane crashed."
He said that she was lucky that she survived, but she had lost all of her memories because of that incident, he then turned to his phone, looking at the screen in annoyance. I never knew Mom had been in a plane crash before. Wait, so that means she forgot about Noah? I don't really know what Noah means to Mom, but after knowing that Noah had been waiting for Mom all this time, I bet that she is important to him.
"Babe, let's go now!" I heard Monica's voice calling for her husband.
Diego said goodbye to me before going to his wife. I needed to meet Noah. "Rose, where are you going?" I heard my mom call when I finished putting my shoes on. "Meeting a friend," I said, as I grabbed my coat. "At this hour?" My dad raised an eyebrow.
"Um... I'll be quick. I promise!" I said as I ran towards the door.
I heard my mom calling out my name and told me to be safe.
Right now, I couldn't be careless about my safety. I needed to know everything that Nolan knew about his father and my mom.
