This is my first fanfic so this is all new to me. Take some time to read it. It gets better after a few chapters. ~M

I was in my room in my jeans and t-shirt that said 'Mad, but I don't care' and thought about everything that happened. It was HIS fault!

He said it would be okay, that we would be together. As if. HE is now the reason I had a fight with my best friend.

Who went to the other side of the world for HIM?! Me!

Who broke a criminal out of prison for HIM!? Me!

And who does he thanks/praises/follows everywhere!? HER! Not me, but HER.

I am done with this place. That's why I'm running away. That wasn't the plan, but I really have no choice.

Don't understand me wrong I want to stay, but I can't stand the thought of him following her around like a lost puppy.

I loved him and I loved her, but they decided to stab me in the back...WHO AM I KIDDING I STILL LOVE THEM! But it won't change my mind.

I packed all my stuff and ironically it was so little that it fitted into my gym bag. And even more ironic is the fact that almost everything was a painful reminder of either of them.

ROSE!

It was Lissa calling me through the bond we shared.

I could feel the regret and sadness coming through her. It only made this decision so much harder.

Rose, please I'm sorry!We can work this out just don't leave!Please!

I send her a text about how did she know I was going to leave.

We can see you through the window from the palace

We? I wonder.I looked up and that's when I saw them.

All of the people I once trusted.

There on the balcony of the palace stood Mia, Eddie, Christian, Janine, Abe-wait, where did he come from? The last time I saw him was in Russia.; Lissa, and Dimitri.

I froze. So many people that have come close to my heart in such short time.

Most of my loved once, up there, didn't even deserve the pain of missing me might say I'm overreacting but, I saw how much those people love me and can I tell you It's incredible.

Well everyone but Dimitri obviously. He hates me. Not that I care anymore.

I looked at each one of them in the eyes for the last time and they held so many different emotions.

Mia looked sad, we had grown attached to each other.

Eddie looked like he was going to cry, oh, my big brother is going to miss me. I'll miss him too. At least he has Jill. He thinks I don't know about them. But something tells me he understood that I know when I looked at him.

My mom looked like the controlled guardian she is, but I could see the compassion she feels towards me and I think maybe it's because she had to face something similar to what I'm going through now. I smile towards her.

I'm holding back tears already.

Next I look at Christian.

He looks sad and pissed as hell-I really hope that it's not at me. I know he'll protect Lissa, that's why this makes me leaving an option. Yes, I'm angry at her for choosing his side, but she was my best friend for 18 years. I can't just forget that. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll forgive her or that I'll be able to trust her anytime soon.

Abe, now he is interesting. A mix of sadness reflected in his eyes -he just got his daughter back and now she is already leaving -and uncontrolled anger-I believe it's meant for Belikov.

Lissa has the same emotion as before: sadness and regret.I know I'm a bad person for doing this to her, but I would be lying if I said I didn't blame her for a little of what's happened.

And last but not least, the man that broke me into a thousand waves of pieces.

Dimitri looked impassive like I would expect, but when I looked at him up close I saw...what? regret?sadness?As if. I probably just need some sleep.

Rose I know that I screwed up but please give me another chance.

I mouth I'm sorry to people I'm not angry at and turn around.

I hear Lissa run down the stairs.

I pull my phone out and dial a number I have almost forgotten.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Becky. it's Rose, can you come to pick me up from the bus station?"

"Sure, wich one and when?"

"The one on the Bluesa street"

"Meet you there in five"

"k"

When I finished my phone call, Lissa was nowhere to be seen- probably because there are so many stairs in the palace -and when I looked up I saw that everyone was gone -the queen probably called them and everyone knows that you can't say no to the queen of our world.

Fine by me, I'm going and if I'm lucky I won't see them again.

Becky, fortunately, lives in New York but came to Montana to sing for a well-known club here called The Rush.

I looked around for the last time seeing a beautiful garden full of flowers that always smelt like summer and with that I walked to the bus stop and got ready for my new life.
