Hot tears began to prickle in Rose's eyes at Kendall's words, and even in her state she could notice that the people within their close proximity had gone quiet. Why was he saying these things, she had never purposely done anything to hurt him, it wasn't like---
She clamped her hands over her mouth, too shocked by his harshness to do much else. But she didn't! She didn't--- act that way. It wasn't--- Kendall wasn't being fair, he knew she and Thomas--- it was different, it wasn't like that; he meant too much to her to ruin with a complicated relationship like the one they'd attempted in school. They were just-- close, she didn't think they were dating--- he asked her to stay, he asked to, he-- if Kendall had shown up---
--- but she loved Octavius, why would she--- Rose felt her mouth contort into an uncontrollable frown. Did he feel this way, too? Was he merely putting up with her until--- until he exploded like Kendall was, right now? While she felt awful about Kendall and his believe that she had been treating him poorly, the deep pain that filled her concerning Octavius had no limit. He was so wonderful to her, so sweet, patient, and understanding, just the thought of unknowingly doing something to hurt him was unbearable. Why-- why would he--- why---
As indiscernible whimpers escaped her, and Rose redirected her gaze to lock down at her feet. She didn't think of Kendall that way, she didn't, didn't he know that? He didn't even want to talk to her. Rose had always considered Kendall to be one of her most trusted friends, someone that would , but now it felt like he wanted to purposely hurt her because he could.
Rose's hands slid up to cover her face. She was too embarrassed, hurt, and disoriented to walk out, or away. Unable to control herself, she cried harder. Was this really what he thought of her all this time?
