I remember the day you told me you were leavin',

I remember the makeup runnin' down your face.

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them,

like every single wish we ever made.

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia,

and forget about these stupid little things.

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you,

and the memories I never can escape.

Cause I'm not fine at all.

Tell me this just a dream.

Cause I'm really not fine at all.

Dimitri POV

*Flashback*

"Dimitri..." Rose burst into my room crying.

"Roza, what's wrong, my love?" I had asked jumping up from my chair and puling her close.

She shoved me away. I looked at her with wide eyes. "No! I can't do this! I can't take hiding us anymore! We can't be together, not like this!" She gasped and let out another heartbroken sob.

"Rose I-" She cut me off. "No, Dimitri! I can't do this! Choose! Me or your charge! I love you too much. It kills me that this has to be hidden, that I am not allowed to fall in love! They come first. Well, sorry but sometimes, Guardians come first too." She says calming a little.

"Roza, I know. I love you so much it hurts. We need to be together, but I don't know how. I've become a Guardian because of those I love, for my family. I will do anything for you Roza, but please don't make me choose between you and my family. I love all of you so much." I had told her, tears in my eyes.

"I-I understand. B-but, Alberta t-told me y-you're being removed f-from guarding L-lissa. You're b-being sent b-back to Russia. To your family. S-she said t-to tell you. Y-you're going t-to be guarding a-at St. Basil's. L-lissa told m-me to go with y-you, she told me t-to put me f-first f-for once. If I go with you, we can be happy. Dimitri, I want that so bad. But I can leave Lissa. What should I do? I need you and her." Rose answered.

I've been dwelling on this all night (or day, I guess, its about 11 a.m.). Rose has graduated, all the new Guardians and their Moroi charges are packing their bags. Suddenly, it comes to me, so obvious Adrian Ivashkov could've seen it (I figure that's what Rose will say when I tell her.)

I grab my duster and sprint out the door of my room and out of the Guardian dorms all together. With speed challenging that of a Strigoi, I reach the Novice dorms, that lay on the other side of the school grounds. I try to look like a Guardian on watch, not an excited 24 year old off to see his lover. My attempt to look normal didn't work, apparently. The Novice dorm matron looked at me quizzically.

She slowly started, "Guardian Belikov? You aren't in the schedule for tonight-"

"I'm standing in for Guardian Alto." I cut in.

"Guardian Alto came in an hour ago. And all 5 Guardians assigned to the dorms this shift are here." She tells me looking closely in my eyes. Her eyes widen and she whispers, "Go to her. Whoever she is. Go find Ваш маленький цветок." I nodded and walked off in a daze.

She told me to find "my little flower".

My rose

Roza.

My body is on auto-pilot as I find the stairs to the third floor. I sprint until I reach her door. Pulling out my key, I go to unlock the door.

"Dimitri? Why are you outside Rose Hathaway's room?" Alberta asks walking down the hall.

Uh-oh. Busted...
