Haunted

Chapter 1

Reaching his door, I came to sudden halt. 'What are you doing here, Rose?" I sighed as I glanced towards his door. 'You don't even like him!' an angry voice rang in my ears. I placed both of my hands on top of my head and closed my eyes. Attempting to block the voices out.

The last person I expected to come for comfort was Adrian Ivashkov. Usually I came to Lissa in situations like these. Besides I couldn't even tell her if I wanted to, because this had to do with Dimitri. There was only one person who would understand. Sighing, I glanced back towards his door before raising my hand and knocking.

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest while I waited. I took couple deep breaths, confused by my sudden emotions. I raised my hand to knock again when the door opened. I placed my hand at the side, coming face to face with Adrian. I glanced at him, at his bare chest and his slightly messed up, realizing that he must been sleeping. My eyes however kept glancing towards his bare chest before meeting his. I could feel his eyes on me; I could feel myself flushing before I took a step back from him. "Little Dhampir, what are you doing here?" He asked me, giving me that one smile that seemed to take my breath away.

Instantly shaking the sudden feeling away, I glanced back towards him. "I…" I began but no more words seemed to be forming. Keeping my eyes at my sides, I glanced towards the ground. 'I shouldn't come here' thoughts ran through my mind but I remained still. "Rose?" I heard Adrian say the name he rarely did. I could hear concern in his voice. I remained still, avoiding his gaze.

I felt Adrian's fingers underneath my chin, lifting it up. Our eyes met. I could fell tears forming in my eyes, hoping that he didn't notice. "What's wrong? Are you still upset about what happened?"

I wanted to say yes, wishing that it was all that was bothering me. "Y-yes" I paused for second, angry at myself for lying to him. "But there is something else" I added after a moment. "D-Dimitri" I said, more tears forming in my eyes, the tears I was unable to hold in any longer. In that instant, before I even realizing what was happened, I wrapped my arms around his waist, burying my face in his chest.

I remembered Adrian whispering something to me, but I couldn't make out the words. I remember being led inside the room, sitting down as he sat down beside me. He held me, comforted me. His words, his arms holding me, supporting me, made me feel safe, and loved.

I pulled back from him after few moments, our eyes meeting. For a second we just stared at one another. He reached over and brushed his fingertips against my cheek before wiping my tears away. His touches send shivers through me. I tried to shake the emotion away and gave him a small, weak smile. "Thank you, Adrian"

"For what?" Realizing his hand was still on my cheek, his cheeks flushed for second before he let his hand drop to his side.

"For being there" I replied. "I- I didn't know who else to come to"

"What about Lissa?"

"She wouldn't understand…" I paused for second, watching him. "Not about this." Besides she's out with Christian somewhere"

Adrian nodded. "But why did you come to me? I thought that you didn't like me" He asked me, and I could hear curiosity in his voice. Not like I could blame him, considering the way that I been treating him the past few weeks. But it wasn't because I didn't like him; he just confused me, at least my feelings towards him. 'Feelings? You can't possibly have feelings for him!'

I moved my hand that sat on top of my knee, placing it on top of his hand. His eyes widened a bit. "Because I knew you understand" I replied in soft voice.

He looked at our hands, and then looked anxiously glanced at me. "What happened, Rose? With you and Dimitri?"

I swallowed, placing my hand on my knee once again, looking away from him. I knew this moment would come but part of me hoped that he wouldn't ask. I could feel tears forming in my eyes again. He left" I whispered, my voice breaking.

"Roza…" He began as I approached him, but this time there was something different in his voice. "Take a seat, we need to talk"

I looked at him, knowing that whatever he wanted to talk about couldn't be good. I took a step towards him, glancing into those eyes that I loved. "It's about Tasha, isn't it?" I asked in a whisper. I wasn't even sure he heard me.

He froze. His eyes widening. "How did you…" He began.

I shook my head. Taking a step back. "Who else would it be about?"

Dimitri sighed, placing a hand through his hair. "I took her offer, Rose. I'm leaving"

Tears formed in my eyes, I looked down, swallowing the lump forming in my throat. "W-hen are you leaving?" I got out after couple minutes of silence passed between us.

"Tomorrow"

My head snapped up. "Tomorrow?" I glared at him. "How could you just leave? Especially after what happened. What about me? What about us?" I snapped.

"Roza…" He began, taking a step towards me but I took step back. "How many times to we have to go through this? There are no us. There never will be. Besides…" He paused for second, hesitating. "I care about Tasha"

I let out a small gasp escape me. "Fine" I walked towards the doors, leading out of the gym. Stopping for second, I turned around facing him, finally letting the tears fall. "If you cared about me, the way you said you do. You wouldn't do this; you'd stay, especially when I need you"

"Rose, you know that…." He began.

I shake my head. "Don't, Dimitri. Don't break my heart further" I said in shaking voice, before running out of the gym, letting the doors slam after me.

"Rose, don't cry. He's an idiot" I heard Adrian's voice few moments later. His arms wrapping around me again, pulling me closer towards him. It was only then I realized that I was crying again. I leaned against him, resting my head on his lap.

I felt his hands stroking my hair. I liked being care for this way. It's then I came to realization how much Adrian really cared for me. Feeling guilty for taking him for being so cruel towards him, all these months.

I lifted my head. My eyes meeting his.

"Adrian, I'm sorry"

He looked at me, in confusion. "Sorry, for what? You got nothing to be sorry for"

"I do" I responded softy. "For way I treated you in past few months. I can tell now that you do care about me"

"I can't blame you, Rose" He responded, his fingers wrapping around my hair, the way Dimitri's used to.

I smiled. "Do you mind, if I stay here tonight?" I asked which had taken Adrian by surprise which was rare.

"A-re you sure?"

"Yes. I don't really want be alone, tonight"

"Of course you can stay. You can stay as long as you need to" I smiled, resting my head against his chest, hearing his heart pounding in his chest. I knew that being this close to me was hard for him.

"Thank you" I responded.
