I'm not even going to try and make an excuse for being gone for so long, because none of them are good enough. I suck. I really am sorry even thought you probably don't believe me.

So back story is that everything happened up to love fades, mine has and then Rose ran away to New York with Adrian(he will not be in the story much, if at all, so if you want an Adrian story this is not it) and got sucked into the world of sex. drugs, and rock n roll. Lissa and Christian are visiting Rose in NYC like they do every year around Christmas because they feel bad, but they have petty much given up hope on Rose ever getting sober. But when Rose ends up in the hospital in a coma from an overdose, everything will change. The story will probably be only ten chapters, they will alternate RPOV and DPOV starting with Dimitri. each chapter will also have a song that goes with it, this Chapters is 'Face Down' by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. This Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Academy or it's characters, it's all Richelle Meads):

DPOV

I hear Lissa's voice from outside, "Dimitri! Are you almost ready? We're going to miss our flight!"

"In a moment princess I just need to grab my things!" Lissa and Christian were taking their annual trip to visit Rose in New York. I gathered my things and walked outside.

While putting the bag in the trunk I listened to Lissa give Christian an update on Rose. "Sydney told me things haven't changed much, if at all." She said plainly, over the years we've all had to give up most of our hope on Rose, but Lissa always goes to visit her around Christmas just so she's not alone.

"So she's still using?" Christian asks.

"Popping just as many pill and shooting just as much smack as ever."

Christian sighed exasperatedly and they both got into the car. All the bags were in the car so I went over to the driver's side and left court to go to the airport.

The drive was the same as every year, Christian would ask Lissa about Rose and she would tell him everything she could. Lissa tried to stay updated on Rose but over the years even she has put distance between herself in Rose, visits went from twice a month to once, to once ever other month, to every three months, to once a year.

"Is she eating?"

"When she's not too wired"

"Still dating that guy?"

"Him or someone just like him."

I couldn't help but sometimes feel responsible for Rose's fall from grace. After I had told her I no longer loved her, she ran away with Adrian to New York and was sucked into the world of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Adrian tried to help her, but she didn't want to be helped, and he gave up. Lissa and Christian tried as hard as they could at first to help her, the finest rehabs money could buy, they even bought a house down there so that they wouldn't be so far away. Rose dropped out of the rehabs, Lissa and Christian sold the house, the drugs became heavier, and we all started to give up.

Rose was nodding out when we got to her apartment, she was currently living in one of NYC's finest tent cities. Drug paraphernalia was scattered around, and the man who I assumed was her newest boyfriend was screaming at the wall, most likely in a cocaine psychosis. Lissa had used her key and walked in on this scene, one that was quite typical of Rose.

When Lissa took in Rose's state she decided we would come back tomorrow in hopes she would have sobered up a little. When leaving, we could here her boyfriends screaming turn to Rose, and the sound of a fight breaking out. Rose's relationships after leaving have never been healthy, she had the power to kick any of their asses out the door, but she let herself be turned in to a rag doll for them to push around, as we walked out in silence, me behind Lissa and Christian, watching for threats, I couldn't help but shake my head at what Rose had become.

I hoped you guys liked it! Pleeeaaase review!(: I have the next chapter written I just have to edit it and hopefully it will be up tomorrow(:
