Rose? I need to talk to you. Could you come over?
I had just told Adrian that I didn't think we were going to work out and that maybe we should break up. He took the news surprisingly well. We were friends now, best friends in fact. He had taken up an older brother attitude and told me he was there if he ever needed me. I was grateful that he understood.
It was after my fight with Dimitri and I was going to my room to have a lonely pity party when Lissa sent the message through the bond.
I had told Lissa what had happened in the church, when he said the four words that shattered me. She had comforted me and told me that he was still confused. I got it. He was confused. But did that give him the right to hurt people around him?
I jogged over to her room and knocked on the door. She opened the door and smiled at me.
I walked in the room and looked around, a Guardian habit.
I looked at the couch and my eyes narrowed.
Dimitri.
I ignored him and turned to Lissa.
"What do you want to talk about, Lissa?"
"Sit down."
I looked around, Lissa was sitting in the only armchair and the couch was the only other option. I went out of my way to sit on the other side of the couch, as far away from Dimitri as possible.
"What's up, Liss?"
She smiled. "Dimitri's regained his Guardian status!" She told me excitedly.
I looked at him, his face remained impassive.
"That's great!" I said honestly.
As much as Dimitri might have hurt me, I was unfortunately still in love with him. And I was happy he had regained his guardian status.
Lissa gave me a knowing smile at my reaction and I rolled my eyes.
She turned to Dimitri, and gave him a warm smile. "How about you tell your family, Dimitri?"
He looked up at her, and quietly said, "I'd like that."
"But, I think someone should go with you. Someone like Rose."
I looked at her bewildered. "No way!" Dimitri had broken my heart and I wasn't exactly ready to bee traveling buddies with him.
What was Lissa thinking? I took a look into her mind to see exactly what she was thinking.
She was convinced that this would bring us back together.
I looked over at Dimitri. He seemed about as happy about the situation as I was. But then again, the Belikovs would be startled to see their undead son/brother show up at their door. They would need someone who knew them to tell them what had happened. I looked over at Lissa, she was looking at me pleadingly.
I sighed, "Fine, I'll go."
