ROSES POV
Waking up wrapped in Adrian's arms with him sound asleep holding me I couldn't help but to feel how lucky I was to have him. Not only to have him there beside me but to have him love me the way I knew that he did. Adrian had always been obsessed with me from the first day that we meet and no matter how horrible I was to him and how much I hurt him, and oh boy had I hurt him, he took me back forgiving me in an instant. The first time I knew I had hurt Adrian was when I went off on my mission to Russia to kill dimitri the man that I then loved who had turned strigoi, I found out after I had come back just how much Adrian had been hurt, but he took me back with open arms and dated me with no hesitation. The second time that I hurt Adrian was when dimitri, after being turned back to a dhampier, (long story) told me that he no longer loved me, I'd been devastated and cried so much, this hurt Adrian because he knew a big part of my life was revolved around dimitri and that I could never fully commit myself to him. and the third time that I hurt Adrian was, yep you guessed it, because of dimitri again, along with the last time but I'll get to that, anyway this time dimitri came to me about a week after I had been arrested, he came to me and told me that he loved me with all his heart , but he had to move on from me he said he couldn't cope with the past anymore and being with me reminded him of his time as a strigoi and he couldn't deal with that, he told me he was with Tasha and he was happy, later I heard she had given him a son, after that he just walked away and left me. Adrian found me the next morning in my cell hurt and alone and upon this he could see that that once again I was still in love with Dimitri.
I broke out of jail a week after that thanks to lissa, Adrian and Christian, it took a lot of compulsion and a lot of ass kicking power but they got me free. And it was Adrian that ran with me, sure lissa and Christian very nearly did if we hadn't have gone without them but I couldn't let lissa come not on this one, if I did I would have to tell her about her half brother and dads affair, and she wasn't ready for that yet, hell I wasn't ready for that yet. Lissa was mad with me again at first she refused to talk to me on the phone and even tried to block her feelings from me to no avail, in the end though she realised that I was doing it to protect her, I miss her so much and she misses me equally as much I feel her ache everyday just as much as mine, I miss talking to her every day, I miss the laughs we used to have, I can't talk to her on the phone like I want to, its unsafe, the phone calls we do make are kept as short as possible. Lissa is with Christian having both been thrown from the royal court due to my escape, they've since set up a little group of their own that is set on finding the real killer of the queen as well as trying to learn proper defence against the strigoi, in this group are the likes of Eddie, mia and Jill along with others I don't no. They say they have a few leads but have so far come up empty. Im in contact with Sydney though she's helping me a lot along with my dad Abe, yeh never saw that coming either.
I mentioned before that I hurt Adrian for the last time because of dimitri, yeh I found out he'd married Tasha and had her child of course, mentioned the baby to before, Adrian told me this himself and I fell apart in his arms, it was the pain in his eyes that made me promise never to hurt him again, and to love him, so far so good I hope. it took me a while to get over dimitri but I pulled through in the end and like I said fell head over heels for Adrian.
And that's what my life been like for the past year kissing Adrian, running, hiding, killing strigoi, investigating, kissing Adrian and not necessarily in that order. But no matter how tough it's been, lying here in Adrian's arms now watching the sun set that everything will be ok, and that with his love I can get through anything. Yeh I know I don't know when I got so soppy either.
