24. The Truth


The next morning Rose woke up and looked at the clock she bit the inside of her lip before getting out of bed she went to the kitchen and put on the coffee before grabbing eggs, bacon, and pancake mix to make them breakfast.

"Good Morning" Leati said grabbing the cup of coffee Rose handed him "Baby are you sure you're ok?" he asked "You seem down" he told her

"I don't know Le" she said "I really don't want to do this today but if I don't go Paul and my parents will be upset" she told him

"Are there family members you don't get along with?" he asked

"Something like that" she said "I'll be fine Le" she said giving him a kiss "You two eat up" she told them before disappearing upstairs.

Rose came out of her closet wearing a pair of black skinny jeans that had rips going up the legs, a white tank top with a lose fitting v neck see through shirt, she grabbed her purple pumps and curled her hair.

"Damn I'm screwed" Rose whistled out when she seen Leati he was in a pair of black jeans with a white t-shirt, his white Jordan's and his hair up in a bun.

"Not as much as I am" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

JoJo came skipping into the room wearing a black dress with a purple sweater and white sandals Rose put her hair into a tight ponytail then curled it before spraying a little perfume on her.

"Now that's a good looking family" JoJo said as they all stood in the mirror

"Yeah it is" Leati agreed

Rose snapped a picture of them and posted it on Instagram.

Life is so much better with these two in it! So in love! #ItsOurYardNOw

They pulled up to her parents' home she instantly started rubbing her hands on her thighs he looked over and smiled he knew she did that when she was nervous so he grabbed her hand and kissed.

"It's going to be ok baby" he said "Let's go have fun" he told her getting out of the car

"Yeah fun" she mumbled before getting out and opening the door for JoJo.

"Aunt Rose" Three little girls yelled in unison and came running toward her Rose immediately squatted down and opened her arms as all three crashed into her

"Hi love bugs" Rose said kissing their cheeks

"We miss you" Aurora yelled in her ear

"I missed yall too" Rose said standing up "Love bugs this is JoJo" she said introducing them.

"Hi JoJo, I'm Murphy" the middle one said "Do you want to play with us?" she asked excited

"Yeah" JoJo smiled and the four took off to the backyard.

Rose and Leati walked into the house and were met by Paul and Stephanie.

"Hi Sis" Paul said hugging her "Anoa'I" he said shaking his hand he squeezed it and looked him in the eye "You better be good to her" he told him.

"I will be" Leati said

"Will you stop" Steph said smacking his arm and giving Leati a hug.

"So where is the wicked witch of the east coast?" Rose asked crossing her arms

"Rose" Steph said eyeing her "It's just one day" she added

"Who is the wicked witch?" Leati asked

"She is talking about our sister Lynn" Paul said "Let's just say they don't really see eye to eye or even like each other at all" he added

"Why?" Leati asked Rose

"Because she is an evil vindictive bitch" Rose said walking off into the living room.

"Rose Bud" Her dad yelled as he made his way across the room hugging her

"Hi daddy" Rose said pulling away "Daddy you remember you Joe right?" she asked him

"Yeah I do good to see you again" He said shaking his hand

"You too sir" Leati said

"Please call me Paul" Her dad said to him "Patricia get in here" he yelled

"Baby" Patricia said when she walked hugging Rose "Hello Joe" she said giving him a hug "I'm so glad you finally stole her heart" she whispered in his ear.

"Me too" Leati smiled at her.

After a few minutes of chatting Leati excused himself to the restroom as he was coming out he bumped into a women who looked to be a few years older than him she had short brown hair, slim body and stood about 5'3.

"I'm so sorry" He said to her

"It's ok" The women said with a smirk "Wait your Roman Reigns" she said to him

"I am but you can call me Joe" he told her putting his hand to shake hers.

"Joe I like it" She said smiling "What are you doing at my family's reunion?" she asked him

"I'm here with my girlfriend, Rose" Leati told her

The women rolled her eyes then straighten out her posture before giving him a tight lip smile before reaching into her hand bag and pulling out a card.

"Well when you get bored with that tired old tart give me call" she said slipping the card into his hand "when you need real fun I'll be here" she said rubbing his hand.

"Excuse me" he said shoving the card back into her hand "First off don't speak about her like that" he told her "Second off you are being completely out of line so if you will excuse me" he said walking pass her back into the living room.

"Hi love" Rose said "What's wrong?" she asked

"Some women in the hall try to hit on me and give me her number" Leati said

Rose felt the anger in her body rise but before she could respond she heard an overdramatic clapping coming from the door way of the living room.

"Well look what the cat I mean rats dragged in" The same women said which made everyone look in her direction.

"Lynn" Rose said pissed off

"Ladies and gentlemen everyone can bow down because the prodigal daughter has returned home" She said wiping a fake tear away "It's so amazing" she added "Now the day is complete" she said.

"Lynn back off" Paul said stepping in front of Rose.

"What?" she said in a fake tone "Just saying hi to our baby sister" she told him

"Can we go one damn day were your not a bitch?" Rose said pushing Paul to the side

"Can we go one day were we don't all have to live in your shadow?" Lynn spat back with venom

"Nope" Rose said "Because then we have to hear about your pathetic life" Rose said clasping her hands together.

"Lynn, Rose we are not doing this today" Patricia said getting in between them.

"Right wouldn't want to upset Princess Rose" Lynn said to her mom.

"Cut the shit both of you" Their dad yelled "We are sick of dealing with this crap" he said "Every time you two are in the same room you fight at one point you two were so close what happened to that?" he asked

"What happened is this whole family worshiping the ground she walks on and I'm sick of it" Lynn told him

"Stop acting like you're the victim" Rose yelled.

"Ro" Steph said "Not today" she told her rubbing her shoulder Rose looked over at her then at her brother they were the only two in the family who knew why they didn't get along.

"Yeah listen to Steph" Lynn said smirking

"You know what no" Rose said walking up to Lynn "I have kept my mouth shut for years you walk around here like you're the one who got back stabbed when news flash you weren't" Rose yelled "The only person you should be mad at is yourself and all of your constant fuck up's because they are no one's fault but your own" she told her

Rose looked over at her parents "You want to know what happened" she said to them "The truth is Lynn is a backstabbing bitch who could never get a grip on her own life so she set out to destroy mine by fucking my fiancé two days before my wedding" she said with tears running down her face and running out of the room leaving everyone standing there.
