DPOV
I was told by my mother that long distance relationships never worked out. I guess she had one and it ended badly… really bad. Even though I loved her, I knew I had to let her go. I couldn't put her through the pain of not seeing me for month's un-end and not knowing whether or not I am dead or alive… or even her praying that that black car won't pull into her driveway and hand her that letter.
I looked out the window of the plane, and spotted the blue ocean waves gliding towards the shore.
God, I missed her already…
I wish she was here with me right now.
RPOV
Tears were streaming down my face. I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to.
He left me. I thought he loved me, but I guess I was wrong. Any other person in our situation would have stayed with their significant other.
But not Dimitri. He thinks it is what is best for me, but it is not. I know what is best for me. And that is me being with him.
He told me to forget him, to move on. But forgetting him is like trying to know someone you never met.
All these emotions are running through me, and I can't stop them.
The scene o him leaving plays over and over in my head like a broken record.
FLASHBACK
"Roza," I heard as I slowly awoke from my sleep. He was standing next to my side of the bed, shaking my shoulder slightly. The thing that stood out the most is the bag he had over his shoulder and his army uniform.
I shot up from the bed and jumped into his arms, nearly knocking him over.
"Don't leave me! Don't leave me, please!" I cried.
"I'm sorry, milaya. I have to go." He took a deep breath.
"What?" I asked hesitantly. Dimitri squeezed his eyes shut, like he was in pain.
"I-I think we should break up. I don't want to be with you anymore. I love you, but you have to move on… without me."
"W-what?" My voice cracked, and I could feel the burning sensation behind my eyes.
His lip quivered just the slightest bit, like he was trying not to show that he wanted to cry.
"I don't want to be with you anymore. Long distance relationships never work out. We would en-"
"NO! We can make it work! Just don't leave me!" I wrapped my legs tight around his waist and lacked my arms around his neck, all while I sobbed.
He tried to gently pry me off, "I'm sorry."
I just clung to him, burying my face in the space where his shoulder and neck connected.
I remember when I first met him. I was rich and the second I saw him I realized I didn't need all this fancy stuff to be happy. It was love at first sight, and I instantly knew he was worth more than anything in the world and anything or anybody could never replace him.
I felt him moving, and realized he was walking towards the door, with me clinging to him. Maybe he was going to bring me with him. My hope raised a bit, but was soon crushed when he took a huge breath and pulled me off him.
I tried to run back to him but he stopped me.
"No, Roza. I'm sorry that this happened. But you knew it was going to happen eventually."
I could see this hurt him just as much just by looking into his beautiful chocolate brown eyes.
"No, I didn't. I thought you would still be with me. Remember what you told me? 'Love conquers all'? What happened to that?"
He just shook his head.
"Don't leave me, please." It was a broken whisper that seeped out of my mouth.
Dimitri just grabbed his bag and wallet off of the table where he had placed them, and walked out the door.
Before he shut it I heard his whisper,
"I'm sorry, мой ангел. I love you."
And with that, the door was shut. Closing all my dreams and hopes, leaving me with only pain and memories.
END OF FLASHBACK
Blue. That was what it was like to lose him.
DPOV
Her heart broken face was the image playing over and over again, and it killed me knowing I caused her to have that look. I caused the pain she is in right now.
I replayed all our memories in my mind, good and bad. And knew if someone was able to see my aura it would be burning red… the symbolized color for love.
RPOV
My throat burned from the crying. If someone walked in right now they would think I was high on drugs because of my blood-shot eyes. I wondered what I looked like if I looked in the mirror, but I didn't dare to. I was too ugly.
DPOV
She was the most beautiful creature I have ever met. Nothing is more beautiful than her. When I was young I believed that sunsets were the most beautiful thing. Now I know I was wrong. Nothing could ever be more beautiful and pure than my Roza.
RPOV
I couldn't regret meeting him, dating him, falling in love with him. Doing hat is like wishing I never knew love was this strong.
I am missing him. A dark grey shadow surrounds me like a cloud, because I am all alone.
Remembering him is now all just flashbacks and echos.
It's time now, to let go.
The thought burns in my mind, and it strangly sounded like Dimitri's smooth, loving voice.
It's impossible though, considering I still see it all in my head.
Loving him is Red.
'Cause loving him was Red (Yeah, Yeah Red),
We're burning Red,
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head,
Comes back to me burning Red,
'Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
