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 think however, as sometimes when her mother was doing double shifts she got quite lonely. 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!

It had been a day since Blade had moved in with them. He hadn't really went out of his room.
Concerned by this Rosie decided to make an entrance to ask if he wanted something to eat.
She entered. She saw Blade. He was shaking quite violently. And picking the scars that are on his arm all whilst humming to himself. He was crying. She didn't know how to approach him.
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. Josie showed him to his room. He thanked her and said that he appreciated her doing this Josie shrugged it off as if it was nothing and said that it is her pleasure.
He fell asleep. But it wasn't a good sleep. He had a memory from the past that he didn't want to remember. The murder. The sneering face of Luciano as he fired the final bullet. Blade awoke in a cold sweat. Silent tears started streaming down his face. He started picking the scars. Fuck. The shaking started.
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.
He felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped. 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. And simply said 'I guess we should get that cleaned up before it gets infected' confused at this Blade nervously smiled at her.
'It will be okay you don't need to-' but it was too late Rosie had already started cleaning the blood around the cuts.
