I was sitting next to Dimitri at practice when he told me we needed to talk. "Roza…. I'm sorry... I should have told you sooner but Lisa has been requested from the queen to go to court and she requested that I should go with her." I stared at him confused and then I got what he was really saying. "what you mean to say is, 'you're sorry that you feel in love with my "best friend" and slept with her and she's pregnant now and everybody has started to notice and you two are running away." "I'm so sorry rose" I got up and said, "save it guardian belikov" I walked out and then-
*alarm beeps*
I picked up the alarm and smashed it against the wall. "Rose that was clock number four." I looked around and saw Christian near my dorm door. I groaned. "Bad dream?" he asked concerned but still had his amused smile playing on his lips. "The same one, as every other night." I said stretching. "Rose, maybe, you should start considering finding someone who can tell you what your dreams mean." "Speaking of which, why are you here pyro?" I asked confused. "Let's just say your dream came sort of true." He said bitterly. He was looking down at the floor, wearing a shirt I got him for Christmas it said, 'my friend is a kickass guardian.' With black skinny jeans on, his hair was messy. "What do you mean?" I asked unsure. "They left us notes. In my note Lisa gave me your key and well here I am." He handed me my letter and started to walk out. I grabbed his hand surprised that I had a sudden urge to let him comfort me, "wait please don't go." He sighed and sat on my bed. I opened the letter and stared at it in disbelief. There was no sorry, no explanation just four words that meant nothing in his hand writing:
Love fades, mine has
Christian looked at me concerned, "rose…" I cut him off. "Don't Christian, not right now." He reached for the letter. His face turned from concern to piss off when he read the letter. When he looked up he looked torn when he met my eyes. I bit my lip to stop myself crying. Wordlessly he dropped the letter and left my dorm. I lay down on my bed and cried replaying the words I read.
