Hola. I'm breatheifyoufinddimitrihot. Are you breathing?

Well, that's what I thought =D This is my first fanfic that I'm publishing on my profile haha.

Usually, I just write with Nicole (Shadowfully Dark) or beta her work.

She's pretty awesome.

Umm. . . this is set in SB, so if you haven't read it, you should like, look away or hide or something.

It's after the whole 'love fades, mine has' crap.

Well, reviews would be nice, and do feel free to PM me.

Bye for now, not forever!

Adrian's POV

Golden emotions poured through me as I slipped my hand onto Rose's neck.

Nothing changed.

The gaping hole didn't close. It just stayed there, looking the very same as it had several moments ago.

I sighed and stood up, reveling in my guilt for a moment. Would she had lived if I'd gotten to her sooner? Would I have been able to heal her? Would my spirit ability have been stronger if I hadn't been drinking? Would she still be here if it hadn't been for me?

No, I realised. She wouldn't have been. Because it wasn't my fault. It was his and it was hers.

Belikov and Lissa.

They drove her to it. It was their fault that her lifeless body was now splayed out in front of my feet, in a gushing pool of her blood. My guilt dimmed but anger quickly replaced it.

They had pushed her away. He had told her that he didn't love her. He had lied to her, and pushed her away and worshipped Lissa instead. It was understandable, I guess. He'd done bad things, but that still didn't quite justify his actions.

And her. They're been best friends for years now. How could she do that to Rose? Her best friend, her bond mate, her sister. Pushing Rose away just for the benefit of Rose's ex? It just didn't sit well. It didn't scream 'Best Friend Behaviour'.

Fury coursed thick through my veins. It wasn't their place to do that to her. Rose was strong and she was intelligent. How could she have been so stupid as to take her own life just because this bastard had rejected her? Did she not realise how much I loved her? They didn't even have the fucking decency to know that she'd left us. They weren't the ones who had to sweep close her cold eyelids. No, because they didn't care. Not nearly as much as I did.

If she'd even told me just once what she'd been planning, I would've joined her in a heartbeat. Or I would have been there to bring her back.

But it was too late, because stale bodies just couldn't be brought back.

It seemed to me that whenever it came to Rose, I always was too late.

Too late in meeting her,

Too late in making her mine,

Too late in saving her.

I'll update when I can =)
