Dimitri POV

The shock of Rose being shot was still fresh in my mind. I can only imagine what was happening to her over the past few years… it sickens me. The image of the petite brunette covered in blood haunts me. How did this happen? I should have noticed the change in her… but I didn't and now I could lose her forever… I did notice a change in her over the past 3 years but I ignored it… I should have done something, ANYTHING would have been better than nothing. Thinking back, her beautiful deep brown eyes held so much pain and yet I did nothing. I knew from the moment we met she would be the death of me, he was wrapped tightly around her finger and even now nothing had changed… even after all these years. What happened to those days? Thinking back, a long time ago, they were together as a couple. He was a freshman and she was an 8th grader they were only a year apart but met in Math class the previous year, Rose was in excelled classes which is why even they met in the first place. For 2 years after that they were attached at each others sides. I remember that blissful time well… I remember our first kiss; it happened in my mother's garden on Rose's 13th birthday, it was sweet I took her out there as the moon hit it highest peak to watch the midnight flowers bloom. It's something I will never forget. I guess now I know what separated us… I still believe that she's beautiful even with all the scars, internal and external, she has come to obtain.

"Dimitri... Dimitri!" I hear someone calling my name I look around and everyone is gone "Dimitri down here!" I look down the stairs and I see Christian, Eddie, and Jesse waiting for me.

"What?" I ask regaining my guarded attitude.

"Are you coming?" asked Jesse

"Where?" I was completely clueless because I had been in my own world.

"To the hospital…" he answered.

"Oh yea ummm get in my car I'll drive us over there." We all head to my car. The ride to the hospital is dead silent; once we arrived we found Mason and his mom in the waiting room. Mason had a little blood on his pale skin and on his shirt, Mrs. Mazur was sobbing with her head in her hands. Christian spoke before anyone of us could.

"How is she?" he said in a timid voice afraid to be told the same thing we all were dreading to hear.

"They won't let us see her. She's in surgery right now. I can't believe I didn't notice any of it. I can't believe Abe would do this he was never like this…"

"BUT HE IS NOW!" yelled Mason "AND WE CAN'T LET HIM ANY WHERE NEAR HER OR ANY OF US FOR THAT MATTER!"

"Maosn…" Mrs. Mazur said

"What?"

"Did… did you know this was happening… did he… did he hurt you too?" she finally asked tears in her eyes.

"No. I had no idea… and he never hurt me… he never cut me, he never burned me, he never did any of that to me. He only did that to Rose because he knows she can fight back but she can't win when you hold a gun to her head and threaten to shoot." Mason said with anger and sadness coating his voice.

"I…I" Christian stuttered

"What Christian?" Mrs. Mazur asked

"She told me things at home weren't good… but I thought that meant you and your husband were fighting. I had no idea. She never told me anything about this only that she was getting sick of it… she called me today to say that she might…" silence held throughout the room for what seemed like forever.

"MIGHT WHAT CHRISTIAN!?" I asked getting pissed off how could he have kept this a secret! I asked even though a part of me knew what the answer was while the other part begged and pleaded that it wasn't true.

"Might run away she sounded like she was going to try to… I don't know hurt herself I panicked! I was worried she'd try to cut herself or even worse than that… I was afraid she'd try to kill herself… she sounded that broken and distraught…" he said looking down. "That's why I was running to get to the house… I wanted to help her get out of there. I never imagined it would be because of this or that I would find my best friend so…so…" he stumbled to find the right words.

"Destroyed…" I said. Someone cleared their throat, and we all looked to where it had come from.

"Are you all here for Miss. Rose Mazur?" the doctor asked

"Yes" we all respond

"Rose is as ok as she can be in her condition…" The doctor started. "With that said we would like to run a few tests on her."

"What kind of tests?" Rose's mom asked

"Just some standard tests… nothing to drastic"

"What types of tests are needed?" asked Mrs. Mazur getting up out of the chair she used to occupy. The doctor pulled her away from the group and started to talk to her about the tests, we couldn't hear what they were saying but I could tell Mrs. Mazur wasn't too happy about some of them. I started to fidget and Mason noticed, he walked over to where I stood away from the others, and Mason being my best friend knew something was really bothering me. I put my guard up again hoping he wouldn't ask about my earlier actions he opened his mouth to say something, but the last thing I expected him to say was what he said next.

"Do you like my sister?" He asked it so bold and forward I was at a loss for words…I finally was able to stutter out.

"You… you mean as… as like friends right?"

"No I mean more than friends, more like do you love her?"

"Umm" I tried to figure out how to handle this situation and to find the right thing to say.

"DOCTOR!" one of the nurses yelled "WE'RE LOSING HER!" The doctor ran down the hall, Mrs. Mazur tried to follow but a nurse stopped her from following and asked her to stay here. Mrs. Mazur put up a fight trying to shove the nurse away and yelling about how it's her daughter so she should be able to see her. Eventually Mrs. Mazur fell sobbing; Mason went over to her and held her up, she hugged him like her life depended on it. I stood still for what felt like hours but only a few seconds could have passed, I turned and walked down the opposite hallway away from Rose's room. I stopped walking because I couldn't find the will to keep going anymore. I leaned back against the wall and sank to the floor I hugged my knees and hung my head my hair providing cover for my face, and I cried… I cried for the first time in a long time.
