I knew it wouldn't last long, but I didn't think it would end up like this. I didn't want us to burn out, I tried my hardest, I really did, but apparently I wasn't enough for him. Or her. Todays my wedding, but it doesn't feel right, not after knowing he's been cheating on me, with none other then my best friend, the queen Vasilisa Dragomir. God, I can't even say her name without wanting to puke. Not only her but with Scarlet Ozera, Christian's cousin. I'm disgusted with all three of them.
"Hurry up Rose! You don't want to be late for your wedding day, do you?" Lissa asks me.
"No of course not Lissa," I reply a little to bit sarcastically. What makes this whole situation even worse is knowing I'm pregnant, twins actually. Also everybody knew Dimitri has been cheating on me, except me, of course. I feel bad for Christian when he finds out. I confronted Adrian about the whole situation. He told me "Karmas a bitch huh?" yes it is, it is indeed. I feel sympathy through the bond. Not Lissa though, Sonya Karp, my old teacher. I committed suicide a week after I found about them, jumped off a cliff, Sonya brought me back. Luckily the twins were safe.
"Its time Rose," I sigh and look at Sonya. I'm doing this for the babies, I remind myself. Right. He doesn't even know. But that doesn't stop the pain, the betrayal, or the anger I feel right now. Abe comes in and tells me how beautiful I look. I still don't know if either he or mom know what they have been doing. I can't think about either. Coming from my friends hurts. A lot. But coming from my parents. Unacceptable.
I walk down the isle and look at him. He looks gorgeous, but then again so does Lissa and well, Scarlet. We get there and he tells Abe he'll take good care of me. I scoff at that. And then he tells me I look beautiful, but those words don't longer make me feel all giddy. They anger me and hurt me. Yet I remind myself that I do in fact look beautiful. The bottom of the dress comes in ruffles and covers up my feet. At the waist there's a rose made out of silk. The corset makes my boobs look a hell lot bigger. My hair is done in a side pony tail that's curled, with a red rose stuck behind my ears. I don't have a lot of make up on but enough, my lips are a light pink, I have a little bit of blush, eyeliner, and grey eye shadow, and that's it.
We say our vows and he hesitates before putting the ring on, to look at Lissa! Yet I don't stop the ceremony. Stupid, I know. I catch him glancing at Scarlet as she blows him a kiss! I can't do this, no I can, but I won't. I throw the ring at his face and tell him loud enough, "Swallow me and then spit me out? I don't think so Dimitri. I'm not your toy. I'm not Lissa or Scarlet." I turn around to look at Lissa.
"Everything I've done for you just wasn't enough. You just had to take everything away from right? God Lissa I've died for you!" and I throw the bouquet at her. "You're lucky you're the queen or you'd be on the floor already." I ran out and throw my veil at Scarlet, "You can keep him, bitch." And I ran, people try to stop me but they can't and they better not. I ran to Sonya's apartment, strip the dress down, put in a bag and get my suitcases. Huh. I guess she knew what'd I do in then end. I get all of my suitcases into a Honda. Geez, a Honda out of all cars. Life hates me. Then I hear a voice say, "Don't go. Please. Not without me." None other than Christian. "You knew?"
"Yes, and like you I stayed hoping it'd end." I notice he has a suitcase with him. I nod my head at him and he gets in. I tell him everything and he tells me he didn't know about Dimitri, we board a plane to Italy. Florence actually. Ironic that's where we had planned on spending our honeymoon. As we settled on, I can't stop but think. "Here I am once again torn into pieces."
(1 YEAR LATER)
It's only been a year. And a lot has happened. I had twins; Mason Dimitri Hathaway older by 3 minutes followed by Diandra Melissa Hathaway. I live in this cottage like house that has 10 rooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, and a pool. I live with the twins, Christian, Mikhail, Sonya, with their baby boy Jack, Kelly (a moroi), her guardians, Mathew and Patrick, along with her Dhampir brother, Dominic Salvatore. They are amazing people and own a karaoke bar. I'm as happy as I can be. A month ago I was kidnapped by strigoi. It was horrible; no one really knows what happened only that I escaped barely alive. I have nightmares everyday about it and about them too. Christians been very helpful through it all, Dominic too.
Although he can be very annoying he's handsome. Blonde messy hair, blue eyes that are real sapphires unlike Christian's lighter ones. But I have a constant reminder of because Mason is like seeing Dimitri, the eyes and hair. Although just 3 months, he acts like his father, while Diandra is me all over again. I don't know how I'm still alive, I can barely breathe, I can't sleep or eat, I'm barely hanging on. But like Chris says at least I'm still here.
