Mona stopped chugging and nudged me ''Uh excuse me babe... but you do realise you have just caught the attention of Mistah J'' she said looking a little frightened. ''Who?'' I replied. She gave me a death glare ''Who?! bloody who? The Joker, the guy...
"Don't be stupid Rose, you have to! It's your mother!"
"Says who?"
"Me, Reg, and any sane person!"
"I'm not leaving you"
"Rose, I'm fine. I'll be fine! Just please. Go to the funeral okay, we'll all be here when you get back"
"She hated me"
"Doesn't matter. I really don't want you to regret this, especially on my watch. Trust me. You will regret not saying goodbye."
I watched Rose ponder my words.

"I'll decide in the morning" She finally spoke.

For the past three days, that's all she's be saying. "I'll decide in the morning". I could tell Reggie had started to grow a little concerned yet I couldn't help but notice that he just kind of leaves Rose to herself and for her to make her own decisions. It's interesting to see the way that their relationship plays out in front of me. Sometimes at night when I can't sleep, I lay there and silently compare our relationships. How Rose has more free rein then me... more... willpower. She's more of a woman. Their relationship is equal, whereas with me and J I can't help but always feel like the underdog. A pawn. A toy. A treasure.
"Anyway have you decided?" Rose asked, stubbing out her cigarette, interrupting my thoughts.
"I'm not here to talk about me and the baby Rose"
"No, it's fine. I want to know. It'll take my mind off of things. Besides I need to know if I should start purchasing baby grows" She replied, forcing a smile.
"Well I don't know about that. Like I said, I haven't decided yet."
"Crane still oblivious?"
"Yes and I'd like to keep it that way. J too."
"I really think it's time you spoke to Crane about it you know. He loves you deeply. And it'll put your mind at rest"
