Rosie
It surprised her how quick and spontaneous the situation happened. How did it go from just her and her mother living together to now her mother, her and someone they barely know living under the same roof.
Rosie didn't think this was a bad thing however, as sometimes when her mother was doing double shifts she got quite lonely and often wished for someone to be around. She doesn't really have any friends apart from her best friend since childhood. Jack. But since he always had other plans elsewhere she didn't really have anyone else other than Netflix dramas. So maybe the extra presence in the house wouldn't be so bad after all!

Blade looked annoyed like he was plotting something when he entered the house and he didn't talk or leave his room.
Rosie was hungry, then it dawned on her that according to the nurse Blade was refusing to eat. Rosie wanted to to check that he was still adamant he didn't want to eat.
She knocked on to his room, no answer. Was he asleep? Her mind started to wonder more did he do something?, he was too silent too passive, even if he shouted at her she had to make sure he is still alive.
She entered cautiously. She saw Blade. He was holding a knife next to his arm.Blood was dripping down his arm. He was unphased by this. She didn't know how to approach him. It was obvious that he was unaware that he was being watched.
Blade
He entered the house and was instantly reminded how out of place he felt. He hadn't been in a house for over 10 years it was strange to him he wanted to get out. Despite this Josie showed him to his room. He nodded in a fake appreciation sort of way, unaware Josie smiled and motioned him to make himself comfortable .
His mind started to wonder to the sneering face of Luciano. The way he got treated as a 'pet'. This made him mad.
Angrily he snatched one of his knives and pressed it against his skin. Why didn't this hurt? Even more agrivated he continued to press on the knife.
Blade didn't notice the door move or Rosie trying to talk to him. He couldn't talk. He couldn't think. All he could think about is the sneering face of Luciano and the chuckling. The hatred for Luciano and the Serpentinas filled him as if it was consuming him.
'STOP PLEASE' came a frantic sounding voice. It was Rosie. He didn't realise she was there. He wondered how long she was there for. Fuck his arm was bleeding. He quickly put his hand over it to hide it from Rosie. But she already saw it. She snatched the knife of him. Blade remained emotionless he didn't say a word but just stared at Rosie, she had tears steaming down her face then she stopped almost grasping the situation all of a sudden. She was quite for a few minutes before she got the courage to say ' we should probably get that cleaned up before it gets infected' confused at this Blade sudden kindness Blade looked apologetic and said 'sorry'. Rosie who had already started cleaning the blood around the cuts paused for a minute and smiled gently and said 'no need to explain yourself just don't do it here please' Blade nodded and began pulling away his arm but Rosie wouldn't let him go till she had finished.
