Chapter 1
Authors Note: I have combined chapters 1-3 to make it longer. The writing is all the same. It's just two chapters now instead of four.
Rose and Dimitri have been friends for as long as either one of them could remember. Rose had always had feelings for him, he just never knew it. He was blind to the fact like so many guys are. He saw her as his best friends and nothing more. He never thought that it could be more. She was always his go to person for anything.
Whether it be that he need advice or he just need some to listen, she was always there. Rose never let it show how bad she wanted him or how it hurt her when he would talk about the girls he liked or was dating. Fast Forward into the future Dimitri was getting over his last break up, this one was pretty bad, probably the worse he's had. He went to the one person he knew would always be there. She had more than just advice to share with him. She was dating this really amazing guy; she told him that she thinks he could be the one.
Dimitri could help the foreign feeling that was in his heart. He couldn't place his finger on it. He went home that night thinking about Rose, as he drifted off to sleep he realized he was jealous. He never tells Rose and she gets ENGAGED! What will he do? Will Rose marry this guy or realize she still loves Dimitri?
"You never what you truly have till it's gone"
She had heard people repeat this overused worn out cliché saying all her life yet she couldn't deny the truth in the words. She lay in her bed late in the night with her mind racing with thoughts of what if. She was having second thoughts just days before her wedding wondering if she was making the right decision. Wondering if this was what was going to truly make her happy? Wondering if Adrian was the one? Wondering if she did the right thing walking away from her best friend? Wondering where he was and what he was doing? Was he thinking of her? Did he miss her? Does he even care? Finally she fell into a restless sleep.
Across the country in a lonely hotel by the sea standing on the balcony was a man watching the churning waves with silent tears running down his handsome face, wondering how he could be so stupid. Wondering how did his life get so messed up? Wondering how things would be different if only he had told her how he felt sooner? Wondering if he drove her to Adrian? Wondering if she'd actually marry him? Wondering if she stilled loved him? But most of all wondering what she was doing? Was she thinking of him? Did she even care how torn up inside he is?
He couldn't take it anymore; he had to let his feelings out. Taking a deep breath he yelled "I LOVE YOU ROSE!" into the wind not caring who heard or that she couldn't hear him. Wondering how could he let her slip away? What had he done? "I need to her" was his last thought before going back into his lonely hotel room by the sea. "I'm coming Roza."
Two broken hearted friends, two worlds apart, both struggling to figure out what they want. Is this where their story ends? Will the two best friends be reunited or stay worlds apart?
The next morning without wasting any time Dimitri hops on a plane to go to stop the woman he loves from marrying the wrong person. While on the plane Dimitri thinks about when Him and Roza were kids, when they had met at kids, but most of all when life was simple.
His thoughts bring him to that fateful day. Dimitri was four and so was Rose. The day was like any other his parents were fighting and yelling, not being able to take it anymore he does something he's not suppose to. He walks to the playground near his house. The park was often a place for him to get away. Most times his parents never knew he was gone. It was always one his older sister that came to find him.
When he got to the park, he saw a girl there his age playing by herself with her mother near by. Dimitri decide to go over and play with her. When he got close she looked up and Dimitri introduced himself.
"Hi my name is Dimitri. I saw you playing by yourself so I thought I'd play with you."
"Hi Dim-di-dim…"
" I know it's a hard to say. You can call me D."
"No one ever wants to play with me they think I'm weird. I have no friends" Rose said sadly.
"I'll be your friend. No wait ill be your best friend." Dimitri exclaimed.
"I'd like that." Rose replied shyly.
Life was so simple then. They had no cares, no worries, and no fears. The two of them could be together no complications, no strings. It's was just simple. But that's what happens when you get older and become an adult. Things get dumped on you that you never wanted.
He's drawn out of the past by a flight attendant asking him if he needed anything. He told her no and she left. He was once again left with his thoughts of Rose. He was getting ready to start a war. A war that the outcome is unknown and seemly so far away. It reminds him of the song "Angel with a Shotgun." By The Cab.
"(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun,
An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun..)
Get out your guns, battles begun,
are you a saint, or a sinner?
If loves a fight, than I shall die,
with my heart on a trigger.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin,
don't mean I'm not a believer.
..and major Tom, will sing along.
Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
ooooohhhhhhhh, ooooooohhhhh whoa whoa oooh whoa
I'm an angel with a shotgun..
fighting til' the wars won..
I don't care if heaven won't take me back..
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
..and I, want to live, not just survive, tonight.
(Live, not just survive)
..and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be."
Knowing he has a few more hours on the plane. He decide he's going to try a sleep since he hasn't been sleeping well. Dimitri falls asleep hoping he does dream of her.
