She had to be strong. She promised Rosa she would be.

No matter how much Gina told herself it was okay and she could do it, she couldn't help but just dissolve into to tears. She lost that part of her she needed most. Gina was obviously aware she had already blown it, but some part of her deep down just hoped fighting for Rosa would work. Obviously not. That was its. Her bestfriend, gone. Forever.

She was shut in the bathroom, the shower running so Milton didn't get suspicious. Gina had her knees pulled up tightly to her chest. Clinging onto them and rocking back and fourth. Her tears were hot and stinging her pale pink cheeks. "you are strong, you can do this." Rosa's words echoed around Gina's mind. She tried to believe them, but it was so hard. One dare, One "I'm in", One lie, ended it all. That one lie, ruined her life. She knew it would just make everything a whole lot worse but Gina decided to look through the pictures of her and Rosa.

Work Rosa was definitely not into taking selfies, but Rosa Rosa definitely was. Gina's thumb swiped on the screen, scrolling through stupid pictures of the two with face masks on, brushing their teeth, kissing, cuddled up, and Gina's favourite picture. It was one Rosa had taken. Gina was fast asleep and Rosa had done a mini photo shoot with her. The picture Gina liked the most was one where she was leant over sleeping Gina and smiling at her. Looking at the picture, Gina's heart broke. The look on Rosa's face. How had Gina not realized the love in her eyes before? Gina sighed and carried on scrolling. When she thought she had reached the end, Gina came across something. It was a video. She didn't recognize it and was pretty certain she had never seen it before. She clicked play and gasped as she realized what it was. Rosa had recorded something when she had walked off for a minute earlier that night.

"Hey Re, I felt bad blocking my number so I'm making this. Remember that just because I chose to leave, doesn't mean I don't love you. It doesn't mean I don't care about you, it just means we are doing what's best for us. It was the hardest decision of my life but hopefully in the end it will all be worth it. You are going to be happy, you, Milton and little baby Iggy. Yes I have a strange feeing that baby Linetti is a girl. Anyway, I love you Regina and nothing will ever change that. Never forget how strong and worthy you are and even though it didn't end how either of us wanted it to, thank you for making me feel comfortable to come out of my shell. You are an amazing human but you just hurt me a little too much. So for the last time, Goodbye and I love you," Rosa blew a kiss and then it ended. Gina stared at the screen in shock. She hugged her phone and started to cry once again.
