Chapter 1
Day 1 (without Dimitiri)
Rose Point of View
Lisa knows something is wrong. I fight with myself deciding if I should tell her or not. No one know except Adrian. Yes, Adrian, how he figured it out I will never know. Somtimes the people you are around most, block out things and it takes an outsider to truly understand. I thought Adrian would move on, but of course he hasn't. He decided he wanted to spend some time with Lisa and study Spirit.
Things have changed a lot in 2 days. Yesterday after I received my tatoo, which by the way itches really bad. I met with Dimitiri (my heart, my soul) to practice. I walk in and he is just sitting there looking at me. After I cry like the big baby I am, he tells me what I have waited months to hear. He told her no. He said he can't give her what she wants, when his heart is somewhere else. So to say the least, I was completely happy. I left the gym after the best kiss in the world, thinking everything was going to work out. I would have the two people I love in the world around me.
Boy I could not have been more wrong.
"Rose, come on tell me what has you so upset." Lisa says
"Lisa, I can't. I wish I could, but I can't." I reply.
"I thought we could tell eachother anything, Rose. I am here for you. I am your best friend." Lisa pleads with me.
I break down crying.
"Oh, Rose." LIsa says
and then I show her the note!
Dear Roza,
I am sitting here thinking about everything we have been through these last few months. I do care for you more than words can say. I just can't ignore my responsibilities. I took an oath the be the best guardian I can be, and our relationship is compromising that. I am going home for awhile to think about things. I dont know what will happen to us when I get back. I need you to take care of yourself and princess Lissa. We will talk when I get back.
Dimitri
Lisa looks at me and the note, and repeats this a few more times.
"You and Guardian Belikov?" Lisa says. "Rose, I am so sorry. I had no idea. When did this happen? How could I have been so blind. What kind of friend am I? Why didn't you tell me? I would have kept it a secret. Wait, how serious was this relationship?"
I just sit there looking at Lisa with my tear filled eyes. and all I can think about is he left me. I look at Lisa, who still has this look of shock on her face, and begin telling her about everything. I told her about the flirting, fighting, kisses and him choosing me over Tasha. I am so drained after our 3 hour talk I just lay on my bed and finally fall into the deepest sleep I need so bad.
