Mr. Wood stands at the doorway with Katherine, surprised at the scene playing out in front of him. A boy, with his back facing him, stood strangling his daughter.

His beautiful daughter!

Immediately, he runs over to Iran and grabs him by the back of his shirt. He twists his wrist, so he had a good grip, and then yanks him off Rose. Mr. Wood holds him up to the wall, staring harshly into his eyes, for, he was beyond angry. Furious even. He attempts to strike Iran in the face, but was instead kicked in the stomach. They both fall, tumbling, on the floor.

Iran rolls Mr. Wood off him easily and stands up, brushing himself off-- a smirk playing on his lips. Mr. Wood copies Iran's actions by getting on his feet. He attempts to punch Iran again, but, Iran's hand blocks the punch and his other is used to push Mr. Wood away.

It causes him to stumble back for quite a bit, before coming full speed towards Iran. Once again, Iran knocks him off his feet, using his hands to push him to the floor.

It was clear that Iran was stronger, and he showed off by pushing Mr. Wood around like a toy. Mr. Wood who was now laying on the ground, tried to use his leg to kick Iran in the shin, but like all his other strike attempts, he failed.

They went on like that for a while; Mr. Wood attempting to hit Iran, and Iran, continuously blocking them.

Rose sat, paralyzed, she was finally allowed to breathe, but couldn't. Her hands grasp her chest, trying to calm down. Though Iran's hold was no longer restraining her, she was still shook, and was furiously blinking-- black spots still clouding her vision.

Rose looks up to see Iran and her father still wrestling. They were on the other side of her room now, and she knew she couldn't let them go on for any longer, they were destroying themselves and the little bit of room she had left.

Rose stands to her feet, making her way over to the commotion, she didn't know what she was planning on doing to stop the fight, but knew she'd think of something when the moment was right.

Mr. Wood raises his arm to deliver a punch but Rose jumps in between him and Iran.

Her father stops mid- punch, lowering his arm. He shoots Rose an irritated look. "Rose!" Mr. Wood pulls his daughter closer to him, holding her close to his chest. Iran heaves heavily in the corner of the room, while Mr. Wood examines Rose's throat. Iran's red- hand prints encircled it, covering her pale flesh.

"Are you okay, honey?"

"Dad it's n-" Rose begins as the girl from the doorway runs to Mr. Wood and hugs him.

"Father are you okay? O. M. G!" The girl asks. Rose stares at her, and notice that the strange girl had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, and features similar to hers.

Who is she? And why is she calling my father, 'father?' Questions kept popping in Rose's mind. This strange girl reminded her of... herself.

"Dad, what is this?" Rose pushes the girl away from her father.

Mr. Wood glances back and forth at her and the boy, "no, you're a Col, aren't you?" He clenches his fist, glaring at Iran.

Rose turns to Iran, his back leaned against her wall, a smug smirk plastered on his face. "Yep,"

"Dad..." Rose starts, " who is this and why is she in our house?"

"No, I'm calling the police. Harassing my daughter. You Cols think you fucking own everything!" Mr. Wood fishes for his phone in his pocket.

"Probably because, we do! Ha, the fucking police is not gonna do shit. Like you just made clear, 'I own everything!' including them!" Iran says, detaching his back from the wall, he approaches Rose and Mr. Wood grabs his daughter's shoulders and pulls her into his chest again.

"Get out of my house!" Mr. Wood chokes out uneasily, his hands still wrapped around Rose, protecting her.

"Her name is Katherine." Iran states ignoring Mr. Wood.

Rose stares at Iran, who was now inches from her face. Once again, she was in his trance, his fierce blue eyes capturing her.

Mr. Wood looks at the girl who was now sitting on Rose's bed, watching everything play out.

Rose blinks a few times before returning to reality. She backs up a little more into her Father's arms, realizing how close Iran was.

"Katherine?" it was merely a whisper, coming out of Rose's mouth. She looks at Iran, wondering what he was talking about.

Katherine?

"Katherine Wood," Mr. Wood whispers lowly. Rose turns in his arms, facing him.

"Wood? Dad?" Rose's eyes widen in realization.

"Hi, Iran. Looking handsome as ever." Katherine flutters her eyelashes at him. She stands up straight, twirling a strand of her hair. Rose turns and looks at the girl, her face scrunched up in disgust. Her expression remains the same as she switches her eyes to her Father.

Rose yanks herself out of his arms, "Dad, y-"

"She's your sister," Rose's father looks between her and Katherine.

Rose looks at her father. "My what?!"

The word repeated in her head.

Sister

Sister

Sister

Rose refused to accept.

No!

"She is your sister..."

"Dad, she looks as if she is the same age as me!" Tears well up in Rose's eyes, this was just too overwhelming! Everything always played out horribly on her. "You cheated on mom with a man a- and a w- woman?" Her voice cracks. "How dare you?" The tears came rushing out. "Get out. All of you."

"Rose I-" Mr. Wood looks down at his daughter.

"No, Dad!"

Rose turns to Iran, she picks up his diary that had fallen through the fight. Taking a deep breath, "here," she says, her voice softer. She wipes at the falling tears.

Iran looks at her sympathetically, "Rose, ju-"

"Just go!" She says, cutting him off, "all of you!"

Iran walks past her and Mr. Wood, leaving.

Katherine stands in the middle of the room with her arms crossed, not moving.

"Did you not hear me. I said get out!"

"This is my room too!" She yells, "we're sharing until Dad finishes decorating mine, he s-"

"Get the fuck out!" Rose says lowly and dark.

Katherine stomps her feet, "Dad!" She yells, leaving the room.

Rose sighs, what was she supposed to do now?

She climbs out her window, onto her roof, she needed to think in a place where it was quiet and not a mess, unlike her room.

Iran sat on his roof, he couldn't think about anything other than, Rose. He knew he should be worried about his secret being exposed, but it wasn't ever his to keep. Weirdly, a part of him wanted the town to know the truth. The truth about his father, the truth about everything.

"There is a new member in town, do you guys happen to know her?" Mr. Col looks at his four sons. They all exchange worried glances with each other.

"Y-yea, I thin-think her n-name is Rose. Wh- why?" Diran stutters. He picks up a piece of potato with his fork, stuffing his mouth to avoid an approaching question.

"She is a Wood. The family's house beside ours. How was her first day of school?" Mrs. Col smiles at her husband before they share a kiss. Iran scoots closer to the dinner table, where he and his family sat, eating.

"It went, um... n-" Ryan begins.

"Splendid Father!" Brian steps in.

"Yeah," Iran mumbles under his breath.

Mr. Col gets up and walks away, "get Lindsay to clean up after you all are finished," he says before completely walking off.

Iran sighs and removes himself from the table.

Rose walks down the stairs of her house, heading towards the kitchen.

"Hello," Finn says as he spots Rose from the living room.

"Fuck off!"

The man nods his head, disappointment clear in his eyes. He turns around, scurrying away from her.

"Rose, I heard that-"

Mr. Wood begins as she enters the kitchen.

"Again, good." Rose states simply.

"ROSE!"

"Dad! Like I said, I do not care for him, he is no one to me, but an excuse of why you and mom divorced. Okay?" Rose lets out irritated.

"Rose, like I said, you know that I was not happy with your mother!"

"So, you cheated on her with a fucking man, and a woman?!" She didn't wait for an answer, immediately she heads back upstairs.

Rose sighs, she knew she was wrong, her Father didn't deserve the treatment she showed earlier. It wasn't his fault and she hated that, she wanted it to be his fault. She needed someone to blame, and her Father leaving her mother a mess when she was young, made him seem as a possible target.

Rose's mind wandered back to the time she had caught her dad with that man, Finn.

She didn't understand, for, she was only seven. Why would a man kiss another man and not a man kiss a woman? Foolishly, Rose asked her mom why her Dad did such acts.

Rose never forgot that night, scarred into her brain, it was a memory that would never leave. That night, seven- years-old Rose saw her house, and her family destroyed.
