Chapter 31
“ Hello mother ” he answered . Well that’s something that I’ve never heard him say before ..
“ Yes I’m fine thank you for asking . How are you and dad ? ” He asked and walked out onto his balcony . I couldn’t hear his conversation anymore
My mind went back to thinking about Vince . How could I be so stupid . Just because he was nice to me didn’t mean he was a nice guy right 71 Like how did I let my guard down so quickly . I sat there cursing myself and thought about how Taylor and family didn’t know this side of Vince .
Just then there was knocking on our apartment door across the hall . I looked at the time and it was 10am . I wasn’t expecting anyone . Blake walked hack in and obviously heard the knocking too .
“ You expecting someone ? ” He asked . I shook my head and he walked towards his door and opened it .
“ Can I help you ? ” He asked .
A
“ Ahh you must be Blake Cooper . I’m Brendan Callum , Taylor’s father and this is my wife ” I heard the familiar voice reply . What was Mr Callum doing here ? He never came to visit like this .
“ Pleasure to meet you Mr and Mrs Callum . I don’t think Taylor is home but Rosy is here , she can open the door for you . ” Blake shook Mr Callum’s hand and stepped back to motion that I was at his place .
I got up and walked over to the door . I looked out the door and there they stood .
“ Hi , Mr and Mrs Callum . What a pleasant surprise . Taylor didn’t say you were coming . ” I said and walked out into the hallway .
“ Hello Rosy . Yeah well we needed to see you both so we thought we’d stop by . I did call Taylor and she said she will be home soon ”
This definitely wasn’t like them .
“ What has Vince told you ? ” I asked . I didn’t intent to say it out loud but it came out .
“ I would rather wait for Taylor to be here so us to have this conversation Rosalie . Could you let us in please ? ” Mrs Callum said .
She used my full name . Whatever Vince had said , I was in trouble .
“ I’ll come with you ” Blake who was standing right behind me said quietly . I turned my head a little and nodded .
I walked to the door and opened it , motioning for them to go in . Blake and I walked in and he closed the door behind him :
“ Can I get you anything to drink guys ? ” I asked and they both declined
my offer .
My palms were sweaty and I felt like throwing up . These two were like my own parents . They were my family and here they were acting like total strangers . I had just seen them a week ago and it wasn’t this awkward .
Blake sat on a bar stool in the kitchen and fiddled on his phone and I paced around in the kitchen tidying up and keeping myself busy . It felt like a very long 10 minutes but the main door finally opened and Rocky and Taylor walked in ..
“ Mum , dad is everything okay ? You never come to visit like this ” Taylor said as soon as she walked in . Rocky walked over and sat next to Blake . Those two had become very close since Friday . They had some sort of bromance going on and it was cute . Rocky finally had a guy to bond with .
“ Taylor maybe we should have this conversation privately ” Mr Callum said .
“ No. They all stay , say what you want to infront of them ”
“ Okay then . Chris has gotten a job here in Mariners Bay . We would like him to live here with you ” Mr Callum said and looked at Mrs Callum who
nodded .
“ Well dad , I have 2 bedrooms and they are both occupied . Where is Chris going to sleep ? ” Taylor asked and a dreadful thought hit me . Oh lord I knew what they wanted .

Chapter 31
Chris is your brother hunny and I think him having a place to stay is important . ” Mrs Callum said and looked at Mr Callum . –
“ We think that maybe it’s time for Rosy to move on and find a place of her own . As Rocky and you get serious , you will need your own space and you know Chris , he will probably only last out here for like 3-6 months . So once he moves out Rocky and you can take up this place and Roty moving out now will just lessen her stress for later ”
