Introduction
Rose - A girl from a small town in Mississippi.
Xavier - A boy who needs help after some horrible events occurred in his life.
Will Rose be able to break his shell? Or will something cause them to break up once more?
---
“I need your help, Rose.”
“Why me? There are so many other people who could help Xavier.” I responded with a sigh.
“You were the only one who was able to bring him out of his shell after what happened to Emily.”
“Uh...well...what about my job? My hospital? My orphanage? They may be small, but they are big parts of my life! I can’t just throw my life’s work away!” I cried out.
“They will all be taken care of until you get back. I promise. Please, help me save my son. I have no one else. You’re my last hope, Rose.”
I saw tears building up in his eyes as he finished his sentence. I guess, for my old friend, I have to do this.
“Okay. I’ll do this, but only because he’s a friend. And because I know that this is important.”
“Thank you so much! You don’t know how much this means to me!” He grinned from one cheek to the other.
I regretted the words once I spoke them, but I knew they were all true. I guess I should pack my bags. New York, here I come! This is going to be quite the trip.
