Rose POV

I've never really cared what happened to me if my heart broke I always thought I could stay calm an keep going. That was until I fell in love with Dimitri, all of the heartbreak so far I have been able to deal with. But it doesn't help when your true love tells you his love for you has faded.

My life at the moment sucks - pun intended. My best friend has just told me she hates me, and she has told me to leave her and Dimitri alone. Yeah Lissa, like that's ever gonna happen. My other best friend Eddie is annoyed that I didn't even tell him I loved Dimitri, and finally Dimitri has agreed to be Tasha's guardian. So yeah I'm not even going to talk about fire boy.

I'm leaving court tomorrow to go and study in Baia, I know it's Dimitri's home town but his family is there and they said they would look after me. I can't wait to see them all, I miss them so much, they are my second family. I'm going to study there for 2 years, and I'm going to St. Basil's with Vika, I can't wait to see them all. I wonder if Dimitri has even called them to tell them he's alive. Not that I care about him anymore he is in my past this is my future. Ok maybe I do, and maybe I asked Adrian to keep an eye on Dimitri, but that doesn't mean I love him. Right?

I'm scared to death about leaving court, but I have to leave to get away from all this nonsense. But I have many enemies outside of court (Moiri and Strogi). I guess what I'm really scared about is that while I'm gone Dimitri will realise he is able to love again, but can't stay on hope I have to have proof, so I'm going away for 2 years. I have left everyone letters, even Dimitri.

Dimitri POV

I was slowly walking around my room, waiting for Lissa to arrive she had said she needed to see me urgently. I wondered what it was about, when Lissa finally walked in she was crying, she looked liked she had been crying for hours. Her hair hair was plastered to her face from her tears, her eyes were red-rimmed, and she was still in her pyjamas.

"What wrong princess?" I said.

"Its Rose." Whispered Lissa.

"What about Roza?"I said, I let my monetarily slip up slide, Rose was in trouble.

"She's gone." She said as she passed me a letter with my name on in Rose's handwriting, and I slowly opened it.
