Sparing had become the one thing I looked forward to most in the day, aside from the fact it was with Dimitri it gave me a way to punch out all my anger, tears and pain. I knew it wouldn't be long before I cracked with all the rumours going round they were getting to me, yes even the great Rose Hathaway has limits.
The new rumour today was something even I couldn't comprehend, word around campus was that I was having sex with Christian and letting him drink from me, it wasn't particularly the rumour that hurt the most it was the fact the Lissa believed them.
"How could you do this to me Rose?" Lissa screamed when she spotted me in the cafeteria
"Do what to you?" I asked
"Be Christian blood whore! You know how I feel about him and yet you still put yourself first you selfish bitch!"
"What the hell are you talking about? I've never had sex, let alone with Christian and believe it or not I would never be a blood whore!" I screamed back
"Oh bullshit like I would believe you, I'm done with you for good Rose, don't speak to me again" she calmly replied walking away leaving me numb, I felt a hand on my shoulder
"Come with me Roza, it will be alright" I heard Dimitri whisper in my ear as he began to lead me out of the cafeteria toward the gym as soon as we were inside and the doors we closed he wrapped his arms around me tightly everything that just happened came crashing down no matter how safe and loved I felt when Dimitri held me I finally let everything go, all the anger, the frustration, the pain it rolled in big fat tears down my checks.
"Shh Roza it will be okay I promise you, we will fix this." He murmured softly in my ear as he sat down cradling me in his lap, if I wasn't breaking apart I would have laughed, who would have thought big bad Dimitri is actually really good at this hold comfort thing instead I just tightened my grip around him willing time just to stop so I would never have to let go. I don't know how long we sat there just holding each other when he lent down in my ear and softly
"We need to get you back to your room Roza"
"If I go back to my room, I'll have to go to sleep which means it will be tomorrow and I don't want to even think about attending classes"
"How about this, if you go back to your room and get a good night's sleep, I will go and talk to Headmistress Kirova and see if we could go off campus for a few days, just you and me" he bargained
"Sounds like a plan Comrade, thank you for today" I said getting up slightly embarrassed that I had broken down in front of Dimitri of all people
"No problem Roza" he replied leaning down to kiss my forehead "I'll stop by tomorrow when I know the details"
