Hello everyone this is my new story with Rose and Dimitri

For now its in Rose's pov unless otherwise marked.

So relax, read and enjoy :)

This is the summary (the longer version since I had to edit it to keep with the character limit): Rose and Dimitri were each other's first love. But, then she abruptly ended things between them leaving them both hurt and Dimitri without a reason. Who knew of the secret she was hiding from him and how it would affect their lives? Now, 5 years later they unexpectedly meet, both in roles that make it hard to avoid each other. Rose's secret is also threatnening the already strained tension between the two. Both their hearts are laid on the line as both try to control their growing feelings and as Rose tries to keep her secret...a secret.


I fought back tears as I knocked on his door, not really confident in what I had to do but knew I had to do it regardless.

"Rose," he said as he opened his door and saw, the smile disappearing as he took in my face. "What's wrong?"He motioned to take my hand and pull me inside but I automatically took a step back.

"We-" my voice broke, "We have to break up."

"What? I don't understand, why? Rose what's going on? Is there something wrong?"

"No, there's nothing wrong I just think that we shouldn't be together anymore."

"But...why? Are you sure you're okay? Please come inside and we"ll talk about it." He made another motion for me to come inside and that's when I knew I need to leave, leave fast and leave now. If I came inside then my objective here would be lost. If I came inside I would break down and tell him everything. It's hard to keep a secret from someone who knows you almost as well as you know yourself.

"Dimitri, listen to me, we-we're just not meant to be okay. You're a great guy it-I just think that we're not meant for each other." Even as I said that they sounded false to my own ears. I took a step back again, before turning around and walking away. As I did it my heart broke, but I knew this was something that I had to do.

"Rose, please, I know you don't believe that, come back let's talk about this."

As I walked away I selfishly stole one more glance at him. His face contorted in pain, those eyes that I loved so much full of pain, pain that I had caused. As I left the campus I took a different path, and as I did I saw him come after me. I wasn't exactly hidden but I knew he couldn't see me.

"Rose! Rose!" he shouted, looking around wildly.

Leaving him calling my name, I turned around and left. That was the last time I saw Dimitri Belikov. He called and texted many times, even stopping by my house but after a while I guess he gave up, I know I would. Even though I haven't seen him in about 5 years I'm still reminded of him nearly every day and to this day I'm pretty certain that turning away from him had been the hardest thing in my life, but I also still firmly believe that what I did was right and I would do the same thing again and again. When I saw Dimitri again it was completely unexpected and I was unprepared but then how exactly do you prepare to see your first love again after 5 years of no contact and a horrible break-up. Then, factor the reason why I broke up with him and things immediately get way more complicated. Whoever said this was right: You never forget your first love.
