Okay, hey guys.
The first couple of paragraphs come from Spirit Bound, but with a few little changes. Hope you enjoy this!

"I've given up on you", he said back, voice also soft. "Love fades, mine has."
I stared at him in disbelief. All this time, he'd never phrased it like that. His protests had always been about some greater good, about the remorse he felt over being a monster or how it had scarred him from love. I've given up on you. Love fades, mine has.

I backed up; the sting of those words hitting me as hard as if he'd slapped me. Something shifted in his features, like maybe he knew how much he'd hurt me. I didn't stick around to see. Instead, I pushed myself out of the aisle and ran out the doors in the back, afraid that if I stayed any longer, everyone in the church would see me cry.

I didn't want to see anyone after that. I ran back to my room as quickly as I could, hardly noticing the people in my path. ... Love fades... that was something else. It meant that we would die, going pale until it crumbled and drifted away like dried up leaves in the wind. The thought of it caused a pain in my chest and stomach, and I curled up on my bed, wrapping my arms around myself as though that might lessen the hurt. I couldn't accept what he had said. I couldn't accept that somehow, after his ordeal, his love for me had gone away.

I stayed in my room for the rest of the day, ignoring Lissa's message through the bond; come join me. She didn't know what had happened. She hadn't noticed me run from the church. That didn't surprise me at all, after how she had been ignoring me lately. Hurt me, yes. Surprise, no.

All through the night I stayed there, not sleeping, just listening to the seconds tick past on the clock beside my bed. Each second that passed me by was one less I would have to live without Dimitri. I wondered how many more I would have to endure.

After 32,457 seconds, I heard a gentle knock at the door. I felt a flicker through the bond. Lissa. I croaked out something that sounded vaguely like 'go away', but since I had forgotten to lock my door she came in anyway.
When she saw me, huddled on the unmade bed, she stopped for a second. Shock flittered through the bond, followed by sympathy. She came over to me, and sat down on the bed. Wrapping her arms around me, I cried into her shoulder as she stroked my hair. She didn't try to tell me that everything would be okay, because she knew what had happened. Sydney had been in the church and witnessed the entire scene, and had told Lissa the whole thing.

We stayed like that for what seemed another infinite amount of time, but after what my traitorous clock told me had only been a few hours, she pulled away.
"Oh, Rose. What are we going to do with you?"

"Kill me." I croaked out, I don't think I've ever gone this long without talking before.

"Rose Hathaway, look at me. I know this is bad now, and it feels like you're dying inside, but you can't think like that. I need you, we need you, and whatever he might have said, Di-"

"Don't say that. Don't ever say that to me." I hissed, pain colouring the words.

We stayed silent for a minute, until she stood up, a guilty look on her face.
"Look- I, I have a meeting that I have to go to, about the age law. I need to go now, but is there anything I can bring you? Anything you need, food, something to drink..?"
I choked out a laugh. As if I cared about food. She turned to go. On second thoughts...
"Wait, Liss. Could you bring me vodka? The strongest you can find."

"Rose, I-" Lissa stopped talking and looked at me again, scrutinising my appearance. I must have really looked terrible, as her next words were; "You sure?"

I nodded, and she sighed in defeat. Leaving the room, she came back a few minutes later with 3 bottles of vodka. I raised my eyebrows, I hadn't asked for more than one.
"You look like you could use some company, and the more the merrier, right? I mean, if they work as friends for Adrian..."

Any other time I would have laughed at Lissa actually insulting anyone, but I was too depressed.
"Thanks Liss."
She left with a goodbye, and I got acquainted with my new 'friends'...

This is my first story, so sorry if there are any weird formatting issues. Not really sure what's going to happen, so I'll just hope for the best :)
I actually have the whole story finished on my computer, so the next chapters should be up soon, depending on how well I can actually use this site.
Hopefully, I'll have a couple of other stories ready for you soon as well.
