For the first time for as long as she could remember, Roxanne's Christmas had not been happy, in spite of the appearances that said otherwise. It'd been hard enough to feel the way she did, but harder still to have to hide it because she hadn't even been supposed to have a boyfriend and so couldn't exactly be broken hearted or talk about it to anyone. She'd spent a lot of time on the phone with Mandy however, which had also led her to talking to her new friend Olivia a few times, but it wasn't quite the same as being face to face with the other girl. Mandy had been there for her a lot before they'd both left to head back home after Elijah had broken up with her, and she was extremely grateful for it too. These were emotions she didn't know how to handle, and having a shoulder to cry on had helped a lot, even though it hadn't pushed away the pain. She felt as if she was in a sort of bad dream, walking around at all time without really being fully there. Her mind was just turned off a lot of times, with a fake smile plastered to her lips to fool those around.
It'd worked well enough with her father, grandparents and most of her sisters. Rosie hadn't been fooled though, of course. But Rosie couldn't know, and nor could anybody else in her family. She'd blamed it on a couple of problems she had with friends at school, problems that'd work themselves out soon enough but they still made her feel a bit down, and Rosaleen had accepted that explanation though something told Roxie she didn't exactly believe it. But right now she didn't want to think about Elijah, especially not as she was about to finally meet the Via Mandy had been talking of so much, because whenever she thought of him she got the now familiar urge to cry. She pushed all thoughts of the first term of school to the back of her mind as she walked over to the dorm room that was probably Olivia's, seen as she'd never been there before but Mandy had told her to come and meet the two of them over there. She sighed lightly and glanced at the numbers on the doors until she stopped in front of the right one, giving a couple of light knocks.
