After Dimitri told Rose "Loves Fades, Mine Does", Rose felt her heart break into a million pieces. She took a deep breath, took one last look at Dimitri and said goodbye. She turned around and walked away from the man she thought was her life.
After an hour of feeling sorry for herself she went to find Adrian. Rose knocked on Adrian's door and when he answered he pulled Rose into a hug and told her that he already knew why she was there. He told her he was sad for her and he knew she was going to break up with him but he still wanted to remain friends and maybe someday they could have a future. Rose hugged him and told him that he would always hold a special place in her heart and would always love him and that he would always be her best friend. After talking for a little while she told him that she was leaving Court by the end of the week after she got all her affairs straightened. He told her he was really going to miss her and she promised to keep in touch.
When she left Adrian's she went to get something to eat. While she was eating, Lissa came in and sat down with Rose. Rose could feel through the bond that Lissa was really pissed so Rose asked her what was wrong. Lissa yelled at Rose and told her to stay away from Dimitri, that he has enough on his plate than having to deal with an obnoxious Rose harassing him. Rose just sat there and really looked at Lissa then Rose got up stood near the table and told Lissa to piss off and Rose walked away.
Rose was walking back to her room when she ran into Christian. He asked her how she was doing; she just shrugged and told him what Lissa just said to her. Christian was getting pissed, Rose was going to tell him to shut it, but Christian said he was pissed at Lissa as well, since she pretty much told him that Dimitri needed her more than he did at the moment. Rose grabbed Christian and gave him a hug and told him to come to her room with her since she had something that she needed to tell him.
After Rose finished telling Christian that she was leaving, Christian got a little teary eyed and told her he was really going to miss her. She promised him that she would keep in touch and maybe one day he and Adrian could come visit once she gets settled in.
When Christian left Rose felt completely drained. She pulled out her phone and called her parents. Janine was now Abe's guardian since they got back together. When Abe answered the phone, Rose asked if they could come to Court tomorrow to see her, that she had some things she needed to tell them. Abe told Rose that they would be there first thing in the morning. When she hung up she decided to take a shower and wash away all the stress from the last couple of weeks.
