Chapter 1

Rose's POV:

I woke up happy and excited because I have training with Dimitri in 2 hours, so I jumped out of bed and hurried to get ready. As I walked out of the dorm in my black sports bra and tracksuit pants I realised I was in more of a hurry than I thought to see Dimitri (my Russian sex god), so I took off towards the gym where I knew he would be waiting.

When I arrived at the gym it was empty and Dimitri was in the middle of the floor reading one of his western novels. I immediately remembered the last time I found him like this (he had me running laps!). "I guess I'll meet you on the oval comrade." I turned to walk to the oval

"Roza wait, I have to talk to you"

"Sure, what's up Comrade?"

"I'm leaving Roza... to be Tasha's guardian." My head started spinning. I couldn't understand why he would be leaving. He said he loves me just yesterday and now he was leaving.

"Roza?"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT! " I screamed at him, I could feel the sting of tears threatening to fall. I quickly blinked them away no-way was I going to let him see me cry. "You tell me you love me and now you're telling me that you're leaving" I said barely a whisper

"Roza plea-" he started but I cut him off with a fist square to his nose followed closely by a knee to the groin.

"I told you not to call me that because you have lost the right to call me that Dimitri" My words were like venom as I spat them at him.

"You will be better off without me-" he explained

"HOW ON EARTH WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME?" I was screaming at him again. "Do you think I'm just some kind of toy! Great when I'm new and interesting but now that I'm old and used your moving on to a new toy." my words held so much venom and ice that I could barely recognise it as my own voice' "Than you'll screw her and move onto the next one waiting."

"Rose it's not like that"

"Save it Dimitri" I say before running out the door with tears that i didn't realise i had shead. I could hear him coming after me so I slammed the gym door and sprinted in the opposite direction of HIM. I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going as long as I was away from HIM and I couldn't see what I was passing because the tears had blurred my vision and were uncontrollably falling. Then I accidentally ran into my best friend (Lissa) and her boyfriend (Christian) out on an early morning stroll. "Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't see you guys."

"Look Rose I know you want me but I'm taken" he said in his joking tone (he was always making those stupid jokes). Then he looked at my face and instantly became worried because he had never seen me crying (I'm not the school bad-ass for nothing). "Rose what's wrong?" He said trying to comfort me.

"It's nothing" I said trying to sound strong.

"Rose it's obviously not nothing because you never cry in public" Lissa assumed and handed me a tissue.

"Thanks" I said reaching for the tissue

"Rose please tell us, or at least Lissa but don't shut us out" Christians voice was filled with love and concern of a big brother and whoever hurt his little sister he would make them pay. So I decided to tell both of them.

By the end of it Christian's eyes were burning with rage and Lissa's were filled with sympathy, and that's when I broke down again only to be interrupted by footsteps that sounded like somebody jogging from the direction I had just come from. My head snapped up and I took off again leaving Lissa and Christian. Soon enough I heard them yelling at what must have been Dimitri.

I spent the rest of the day locked in my room, skipping all of my classes and balling my eyes out.

After school I looked out of my window and just in time to see HIM leaving. This only made me cry more.

Dimitri's POV:

I decided to take Tasha's offer to become her guardian but now it was time for the hard part... telling Rose. I was so lost in thought that I wasn't even interested in my new western novel. I was thinking about what I was going to say to her when I heard her say, "I guess I'll meet you on the oval Comrade." She sounded a bit annoyed probably because she thought she was going to be running laps (man does she hate laps).

Show time.

"Roza wait, I have to talk to you"

"Sure, what's up Comrade?"

"I'm leaving Roza... to be Tasha's guardian." Not sure what reaction she was having to the news I said "Roza?"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT! " She was screaming in my face. I blinked in surprise, and then she simply whispered "You tell me you love me and now you're telling me that you're leaving"

"Roza plea-" I started trying to get her to understand but was by her punching me in the nose followed immediately by a knee in the groin. OUCH!

"I told you not to call me that because you have lost the right to call me that Dimitri" Her words were like venom and she spat each one of them at me.

"You will be better off without me-" I tried to explain but was cut off again but this time by screaming.

"HOW ON EARTH WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME?" Did she have a comeback to everything I said? Her next words made my stomach twist because part of Tasha's offer was to have kids with her. "Do you think I'm just some kind of toy! Great when I'm new and interesting but now that I'm old and your moving on to a new toy," with words so cold she didn't even sound like herself "Than you'll screw her and move onto the next one waiting."

"Rose it's not like that"

"Save it Dimitri." That's when she took off. I would have caught her easily if she didn't slam the gym door on my face and break my nose, so I quickly realigned my nose and took off towards the direction she went.

About a minute later I found Lissa and Christian. They both gave me looks of hatred but Christians was much worse he looked like he was going to rip my throat out. Yep Rose has definitely been here. Then the drama really started they started yelling at me about what a fool I am and that Rose is the best thing that could ever happen to me. Man they are pissed! I had had enough of being yelled at to last me a year so I simply walked away.

Rose didn't go to any of her classes that day but I had expected it. As I was leaving I looked up at the girls dorms and there was Rose in her window and she looked terrible.

I put all of my belongings in the trunk of Tasha's car. After Tasha was buckled in and I was behind the wheel we took off to our new lives.
