What Hurts the Most

By: Cascada

Rose

Shit Dimitri. You had to go and call me 'Roza'; you had to open up that wound. I walked back in to my room and found Adrian sitting up in bed with a leather bound book.

"I never knew you were into westerns." He said putting the book back in the bottom night stand draws.

"I'm not." I put my cell phone down and laid back down in bed. "I have to go to work." I whined.

"Well don't go then." Adrian kissed me. "Stay here. With me. We can do this all day." He kissed me again and started to pull off my t-shirt.

"Nope. I have to go. A new guardian is coming in, plus I have stuff I have to do." I protested, pressing my index finger against his lips. I kissed him one more times then got up to take a shower.

I came out and found Adrian dressed. "You gonna go to class?" I asked. Adrian started teach an element class after he followed me back here for my job at guardian at the school.

"Yeah." He headed for the door.

"Lissa, Christian, and Bell are coming up for dinner." I said pulling my guardian uniform out of the closet.

"They came all the way here for dinner?" Adrian asked.

"No, their enrolling Bell in a few years." I corrected as I reached for a pair of jeans and a red tank top.

"Oh." Adrian said, "Well I'll be there." He kissed me, and then walked out the door.

I waited until I didn't hear his foot steps in the hall. I sat on the bed and put my head in my hands. If my life could get any worse it better happen soon. Because if I'm going to hell, I'd rather be young enough to crawl out. My phone rang and I was broken –monetarily- out of my misery.

"Hello?" I picked it up.

"Hi, Rose." Lissa's cheery voice was a comfort to me.

"Hey Liss." I started. "Where are you?"

"We're boarding the plane now. But I wanted to make sure you knew we were alive." She said.

I laughed then paused. "Oh and some new news…"

"Oh my God! Did Adrian ask you to marry him?" She cried. I heard Christian ask,

"What? Rose is getting married? Send my sorrows to the groom."

I growled and I guess Lissa waved him off.

"No." I said matter-of-fact, "Dimitri is coming back."

Dead silent. Lissa knew what Dimitri did to me. She was there for most of my crying.

After a minute she said, "Invite him to dinner." I blinked, why did she want him at dinner?

"Why?" I cried.

"Just do it Rose." She ordered. "Listen I have to go. Bell is getting fussy."

"Bye." I said and hung up. I groaned. Forcing myself to face the day I blew-dye my hair and put the jeans and red tank top on and grabbing my sliver stake and cell phone.

Once outside I wished I could wear short. The early summer heat of early June never seemed to disappear, even when the sun went down.

I found the rest of the day a bit of a blur. I talked to the Headmistress about a room for Dimitri –as far always from as possible- and I told most of the guardians at the school he was coming back. By the time my phone buzzed to tell me that I had thirty minutes until Dimitri's plane left I had pulled my hair in and out of a ponytail at least fifty times. Down? Up? Down? Up? I couldn't figure out which way to wear it. Down, Dimitri always loved my hair down. Give him the Pleasure? Up, showing off my marks and looking professional. Tell him I'm not here for sex? God, I need a life. I chose to put it up and went back to my room to change in to my guardian uniform.

The airport wasn't far but by the time I got there his plane had landed and he was standing by the baggage claim looking for a bag. I couldn't help but seek a smile. It was like sixty degrees outside and there I was dyeing in my uniform yet he stood there in all his six-foot-seven glory in his uniform and that God-damn brown leather duster; and looked totally sexy doing it. I mentally slapped myself.

Bad Rose! Very very bad Rose! No calling Dimitri hot or sexy or dreamy! I'm banning from your vocabulary! Got it?

The smile dropped from my face as Dimitri turned around. He froze and for a few minutes we just stood there. Gazing at each other.

Rose!

I finally strolled towards him. "Welcome back to Montana, Guardian Belikov."

"It's good to be back, Guardian Hathaway." A small smile played on the corners of his mouth.

"Shall we go?" I gestured to the door. Dimitri followed me out.

"So…" He said once we had been in the car for like ten minutes of silent.

"Lissa invited you to dinner." I said flatly.

"Huh?" Dimitri looked at me but I kept my eyes on the road.

"Lissa and Christian are coming up to the academy and Adrian and I are going to dinner with them. Lissa invited you." I added under my breath, "God only knows why."

"Well I would hate to be a fifth wheel." He said.

"You can take Bell as your date." I joked and could help but smile a little.

"Bell?" Dimitri asked, not very amused.

"Lissa's daughter. After collage at Penn State she and Christian got married and moved to a town outside of Philly, in New Jersey. Bell was born last year." I said.

"So I'm having dinner with a baby." He laughed.

I had to laugh too, "Not much change there." I said and wished I hadn't the second they left my lips. Dimitri turned towards me so fast he could have been Strigoi. He didn't say a word just stared I faced front again, so I couldn't see his face. My phone rang and as I picked it up I could have swore he said 'Saved by the bell.' In Russian.

"Hello." I said.

"Rose its Lissa again."

"Oh, hi. What's up? Wait a minute, where are you?" I asked.

"Connector flight in Nebraska." She said, almost bitterly. "Christian just informed me that Tasha is in town and she's coming to dinner."

"Okay, I'll deal. To tell you truth? It's good all these shitty things keep happening. It's easier to deal with them all at once." I heard Dimitri scoff and I quickly shot him a look.

"Okay, I'll call you when we land."

"Cool. Bye." I hung up and was left in a silent car again. I was left with my lover.
