Rose's POV
What the hell? What were they doing? This was SO not happening! But it was. I could see it. Did they seriously think I wouldn't find out about them? If so, then they are so ridiculously stupid, that it's painful. We're bonded for Christ sake! I had to get out... now. So I could go beat the crap out of them. I felt myself start to shake as the shock hit me. Dimitri and Lissa. Dimitri and Lissa.
Come on Rose! Get the hell out of her head! My inner voice was yelling at me, adrenaline running from Lissa's body into mine, my heart pounding in my ears. Everything was intensified as he kissed her neck, running his finger along her necklace and down...
Dimitri. He was here, his eyes looking at me adoringly. Admiring me. I loved him so much, and he loved me too. I'd travelled the world for this man, and almost given up everything because of my love for him.
He loves you? Really? Doesn't look like it to me! He's not looking at you. He's looking at Lissa. This is something you really don't want to see. More screaming came from my brain while my heart refused to understand.
Wow. My inner voice was a bitch. Then Dimitri kissed me again and my world spun... NO. He kissed Lissa again. Get back to Mia's house! ...Mia! And Eddie! And... Oh my god. Christian! They were there. Probably all wondering what was happening to me. What could I say to Christian? His girlfriend was cheating on him with my boyfriend? No. Him and Liss had had so many problems and had come this far. I couldn't do this to him. Or to her.
Well clearly Lissa isn't thinking much about you. Why should you care about her?
But I shut it up and felt myself travel back to my own body with a jerk. I glanced down to see Christian's hands gripping my arms.
"What the hell? It's been more than 'a minute' Christian!" a girl's voice squeaked. Mia.
"Well then give her another! She does this when she visits Lissa. She probably just got bored of being here doing this and went to visit her..." Christian's voice said.
"Umm, she's not usually out this long though is she? I mean, look at her face. She doesn't look 'bored'. She looks..." Eddie cut off. Me. They were talking about me. What about my face?
I felt myself being shaken by a pair of hands and I looked into worried, ice-blue eyes. Eddie and Mia were crowded round him too, looking nervous. I heard Mia exhale in relief, and Eddie still looked a little nervous, but not nearly as much as he had sounded a few moments ago. I guess his 'big brother' role was still in place. Christian, however, looked confused. He knew something was up. "What did you see?" he whispered softly to me. How could I tell him? I couldn't do this to him! He loved Lissa so much! I couldn't just take that away from him could I? As much as I pretended to hate Christian I really didn't. Secretly. He was a friend. Someone I could trust. And I think he felt the same about me. How could I betray his trust like this? To not tell him? It would almost be as bad as what Lissa's doing. But... would it? Would I be betraying him or protecting him?
I thought about it, as if I was him. If he knew something... saw the two of them...and didn't tell me? No. I had to tell him.
I looked into Christian's eyes, willing him, begging him to not hate me. I'd lost two people today and I don't think I could take losing a third.
"Christian..." I started, but my voice choked up and he cut me off.
"What did you see?" he demanded, desperately trying to get me to tell him.
What did I see? I saw my 'best friend' making out with my 'soul mate' on the bed. And if we stick around much longer it will be a lot more than that. I replayed it in my head, as he kissed her face and looked deep into her eyes, a look of love shining through. He loved her?
I felt my heart break. Right then, on the living room floor, in a Moroi's house. People have described things like this in movie's and songs. And books too, or so I've heard. But nothing could prepare me for what I felt at this moment in time. It was as if somebody had reached into my chest, grabbed my heart, twisted it, and pulled it out of my body. I wanted to collapse on the floor, cry myself to sleep, and never wake up. Wanted to scream and hurt everybody in sight. How could they? How could they do this to me?
Tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't breathe or talk, in fear of choking. I noticed Mia and Eddie come over but I didn't look at them. I could only look into Christian's blue eyes. Do it.
I had to tell him.
I took a deep, shuddering breathe and started... but, "Lissa and... Dimitri" was all I got out before I was cut off by a sob building up in my body. And I let the tears run down my face, drowning in sorrow.
