"Rosemarie Anna-Claire Hathaway!" My mom shouted from downstairs. I groaned and threw my blanket away from my body. I shivered from the cold. I was wearing denim jean shorts and a grey tee. Can't help it, I love casualties. I went down the stairs only to squeal and run into Dimitri's opened arms. Dimitri Vladimir Belikov is my best friend and secretly my crush. He has been in Russia to finish his college and now he is back. I couldn't be happier. The funny part was he felt freezing cold like he slept in a freezer for a few hours.

I pulled away and said, "You're freezing cold!" Something flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it.

"Roza, It's starting to snow outside. Of course, I'm freezing cold." He said in a 'duh' tone. I nodded and smiled. I miss him so much.

My mom smiled and said, "You two can catch up!" I literally dragged Dimitri up to my room where we used to play together. I sat down my bed and Dimitri did the same. I noticed that he wasn't wearing many layers of jackets and coats like he usually does. Hmm...maybe he is use to the cold weather. After all it's been 4 years since I've last seen him.

"How are you, Roza?" He asked smiling warmly at me.

I smiled and said, "I'm fine as always. Although, I'm still mad that you left me for 4 years" Dimitri chuckled and ruffled my long brown hair. Those 4 years were painful and heartbreaking for me. You see, I got into a relationship with a boy I thought I loved, but I was wrong. I never loved him and he never loved me. He kept beating me up for no reason and threatened me not to tell anyone or he's gonna hurt my family. Then one day, he disappeared and I never heard of him again.

"Did anything exciting happened while I was gone?" He asked.

I nodded and said, "I finished high school!" That was the second thing that happened this year. I'm 18 and Dimitri's 25, although he looks like he is still 18. Hmmm...great genetics.

Then we talked about everything. Then my mom came up and knocked on my door. "Dimitri, are you staying for dinner?" Mom asked as she peeked her head through my door

I gave Dimitri my puppy dog eyes. I really want him to stay. He smiled and said, "I think I should head back home. I need to get my things organized again." I pouted and pushed him. He always stays for dinner, but why not this time?

"Okay!" Mom said and left us alone again.

I glared at Dimitri and said, "You always stay for dinner. Why not this time?"

"That's because I have really important matters to take care of." He said with a small smile. I crossed my arms and said, "Then go!"

He gave me a tired look. "Roza, I need you to understand me." I sighed and gave in. Oh, how I wished he knew I love him. I nodded and said, "Alright, when will I see you again?"

He pulled me onto his lap like he used to and said, "Tomorrow." I blushed when I felt his warm breath on my ear. I looked away and said, "Cool!" I got off him and he stood up towering over me. He bent down and kissed my forehead with his ice cold lips which sent some kind of shock through my body. He pulled away and went downstairs. I heard him say goodnight to my parents and closed the door.

I sat down my bed and touched my forehead right where he kissed me. I find it strange that his body temperature seemed to be too cold for human body. I totally expect him to be warmer than this. I shook my head and got under the covers. The warmth didn't help to make my heart beat any slower again. I groaned and decided to go downstairs to eat some dinner.

"Mom!"

"In here! Help me set the table!" Mom said from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and helped her set the table. I ate dinner with my family listening to them talk about Dimitri fondly.

"Have you decided where you want to go for college?" Mom asked looking at me.

I shrugged and said, "I don't know yet."

Mom nodded. Dad cleared his throat and asked, "Do you know about Greg?" I frowned and shook my head, "No. Greg was my ex boyfriend.

"They found his body in the woods. He was brutally killed." Dad said making me choke on my food.

"What? H-how?"

"I'll tell you the details when we finish dinner. I really don't want you to lose your appetite." I nodded and wondered about Greg. After all these months, Greg has been dead and no one knew about it. I didn't know his family well, so I don't know if they were looking for him or not. It was kind of weird.

We finished dinner and here I am trying not to vomit. Greg's throat was ripped and his skull was cracked open. Plus, his heart was torn out too. I closed my eyes as my dad held me in his arms. Sure, I kind of hated Greg, but I never wanted him to die this brutally. But wonder who killed him and why it took so long for someone to find him?

I excused myself back to my room. I laid in my bed not being able to fall asleep thinking about Greg's mysterious death.
