Adrian POV
I hoped I wasn't too late to catch Dimitri, but as I saw him come out of Sydney's work place rage filled me. Rage I didn't know I could posses, but it wasn't directed at Dimitri. It was directed at myself, me for quitting collage and joining the band, for going on tour instead of stay with Sydney, Me for fucking Rose instead of being with Sydney when she needed me most. Most of all I hated myself for not fighting for her, for just letting Sage slip through my fingers. Still I ran towards Dimitri slaming into a building, holding him there with my forearm. We both knew he could easily overpower me, but he didn't. Dimitri stood there and let me overpower him. That's when I knew he understood how much I really did love Sydney, but it didn't how much he understood I still hated myself, and I had to let that anger out.
"What the hell you son of a bitch, why the hell are you here" I screamed at him. A few people stopped to glance at us, but most kept walking, hey this is New York.
"You need help Adrian, weather you like it or not" Dimitri said as calmly as he could.
"Then get a damn therapist" I said.
"Her help Adrian, you need her help" he yelled this time. I could see the truth in his eyes, and I slumped to the ground, putting my head in my knees, letting the silent tears fall. Dimitri sat down beside me.
"Just leave me alone I don't want to talk" I said not lifting my head.
"Ok then just listen" Dimitri said,
"Look Adrian someone who doesn't know your story would call you irresponsible and a jackass, but I know your story, and I also know you would never hurt Sydney on purpose. You'd rather kill yourself, but sadly you do have weak moments. Sleeping with Rose was one of those weak moments, and along with that one came more and more and soon you lost control of yourself. It's because you regret what you did to Sydney, you're trying to cover that with alcohol and women. Sydney is just the same only she's trying to cover up the saddens of losing you, but of course in her own way. She throws herself in work, and agreed to date a guy who is completely wrong for her, only because her head says she will be happy with him. Sydney's heart is as damaged as yours. So don't doubt yourself and show her how much you still love her."
"How when I mess everything up" I said finally looking up at him. Dimitri chuckled a little.
"Yah you do, wait before you say anything thing" he held up his hand stopping my protest.
"You mess a lot of things up including your life, but from what I understand Sydney makes you a better student, better friend, better person." I smiled a little because he was right, she did. Dimitri stood up, then helped me up.
"Ok now you are going to find Sydney, and am going to post-pone the concert until later tonight." Dimitri said. I nodded and he walked off to hail a cab.
Now where do I find one girl in a huge city?
Sydney POV
I don't know how long I've been at my sister's grave, but it was dark when I left. Walking towards my apartment, I ran into someone I never expected to see.
"Sydney" she gasped.
"Hello Rose" I said with no emotion, I didn't have enough energy to ne mad anymore. When I started walking away she grabbed my arm lightly and turned me around.
"Can I help you?"
"I... I just wanted to tell you Adrian and I aren't together anymore" Rose replied.
"I'm happy for you I really am" I said walking away again.
"Wait weren't you listing" she said stopping me again, "I'm not after your man anymore." She laughed a little, like it was a joke. Suddenly anger rushed through me and I turned to face her all the way.
"OK listen Rose one Adrian's not my "man," Second I don't care who the hell he's with and not with, Third why are you telling me" I tried not to yell, but my voice kept going up. She looked ready to cry.
"Why are you being a bitch" she asked me.
"Me, a bitch really Rose" I half-screamed.
"Yes, you I'm telling you, because I have almost no family left" She screamed at me. I opened my mouth to scream back at her. Instead I laughed, it wasn't really funny more ironic.
"Wow and I thought you couldn't get any more shallow" I chuckled shaking my head.
"Listen..." Rose started, but I cut her off.
"No, you listen My parents never gave a damn about me or my sister, I had to take care of us both. I have an uncle, but his job prevented him from staying in one place. You know who got me through that, Adrian. He's the only person who really cared about me. I lost my little sister and my best friend in one day. Now I not trying to play the blame game, but I know Adrian has weakness, and you just happened to be there to fulfill one. You gave him one thing I couldn't, complete devotion. That's all he needs and wants." I finished with tears in my eyes. As I turned, I stopped short, I was frozen everything in me stopped.
"That's not what I need nor want" he said. My mouth opened yet nothing came out. Looking him in the eye once, I bolted from the grave. I can't believe he was there, why was he there. He had no reason to be. Walking in the door I noticed Keith practically jumping with joy.
"Hey Baby guess where were going?"
"Where" I asked with fake excitement.
"The "The Golden Lily" concert" he screamed. My mouth dropped opened.
"I know it's going to be amazing" Keith said hugging me.
"Yah" I muttered.
So sorry for the wait.
