the lost heart of rose tanner6

Six
Walking alone in a dark alley where my father was last seen isn't one of my brightest ideas, but for some reason I know I need to be here tonight. In my bag our the letters I wrote. Walking around, coming up under the only light on the street. "Hello rosé" a deep voice comes from behind me. I turn, and for once in my life I am not afraid of the man standing behind me. "Good evening.... dad." My voice comes out and I can't even believe I'm the one who's speaking, I sounded strong, brave, unafraid. To be honest it shocked me, but not as much as what happened next.
                                                      * * *
I wonder where she is. I called twice... maybe I should call the home phone. And with that I call her number and her mother answers, panicked about what I had to say, and then I hung up and ran out the door. I had to find her, she's in danger, I can feel it, which I found a little strange, but I keep on running, and at that moment I wonder why I care so much, but it's so simple, I knew it before but never wanted to admit it. "Damn it" I whisper under my breathe. I turn the corner into the ally near the park, a take in a sharp breathe. "Rose....."

                                                     * * *
I stand a few feat away from him, a gun pointed at my chest, I'm not afraid. He was yelling now. "Ill kill you!" and then he shoots me in the chest. "Rose!" I hear Alex's voice, was I dreaming it? I look to my left; he was there, running to me, I fall only to land in his arms. "Alex..." I whisper my voice quite, but strong.
                                                     * * *
Who was this boy, he didn't even flinch when i pointed the gun at him. Strange. The boy looks at me "why?!?! Why would you do this, she your daughter for god sake!!!!!" he shrieked at me. "S-she wouldn't come with me, she wouldn't!" my voice came out shaky. I hear her voice, low and still. "Why would I go with the man who hurt me so many times? This time is no different." She whispered her gaze leaves me. She reaches into her bag a pulls out to letters. "One for you one for mama, please make sure she gets it. And... Say it was a gang, an accident, don't say anything about him." She said to the boy. "But why...." my thoughts are accidently said aloud. "Because, the last thing I want is for my dad to go to jail, no matter how many times you hurt me, no matter how long it would have taken to earn my trust back, I would never want that to happen to you." She said to me a sweet smile on her face. "Rose...." The boy's voice came out in a whine. "Is it alright... if I read it now....?" he asks her. She nods her head, and he begins to read, shocked by what he read.

As Alex read I found myself begging to sing the words that had me write the finial letters
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
"Rose..... That song is wrong at one part...." Alex whispered
"It's only a song Alex, I smile at him."

"No..... Rose..... Forever is only a small piece of eternity.... and Rose," he looks in to my eyes, holding back tears. His eyes squint shut. ",ill love you for eternity!" he yells the tears bottle up and spill over. Shock washes over me but before i could give him a reply, the world goes black....
