DPOV

It's been two weeks since my Roza left and it feels as if she took a piece of my heart along with her. I haven't received a letter yet but i'm confident it's just because she is getting settled in at school and is probably really busy. I stretch in bed and look over to my clock, 6:30. I groan and stand up to take a shower. I had 30 minutes to get changed, have breakfast, and go to school. Once I showered and dressed I rushed downstairs for breakfeast.

"Good morning son." my mother calls from the stove.

"Good morning mama." i reply.

I take a seat at the table and grab a piece of toast. "Dimitri pass the bacon!" yells my sister, Victoria, from the other side of the table, she was only two years younger than me.

" Dimitri do you know if anyone else is going to take you to school yet?" my mother asks. My family doesn't own a car which is quite unusual for a family of 6 people. But my mother sees it as a waste of money, she says in a town like Baia you can walk to anywhere. But it isn't the case right now it's been really hot these passed weeks and the 10 minute walk to school can make anyone look like they just jumped into a pool. So Victoria, Lissa, and I where carpooling with Tasha and Christian Ozera, Tasha was a year ahead of us so she has a car. The problem was my mom and Victoria really hated Tasha for some strange reason, I remember Roza used to have some strange grudge against her too but she was always very kind to me.

"No mama, I think we'll just keep carpooling with the Ozeras." i tell her. She just nods in reply. I finish my toast just as someone knocks on the door.

" Lissa! Hurry up Tashas' here!" I yell up the stairs while walking to the front door. I open the door and see Tasha standing there smiling.

" Hey Dimitri!"she says.

"Hello Tasha, we're almost ready, where's Christian?" i ask her.

" Oh he's just waiting in the car, it's kinda hot out here do you mind me coming in to say hello to Olena?" she asks me.

I nod and open the door wider for her to come in. She walks into the kitchen where my mother sat down to drink her coffee.

"Good morning Olena!" she says very enthusiastically.

"Good morning Tasha, please call me Mrs. Belikov." my mom says neutrally.

Tasha obviously seeing nothing wrong nods and smiles. " Oh! I forgot! I got your mail for you!" she hands the mail to my mother. She looks a bit upset about that but mutters out a thank you.

I rush to my mothers side and ask" Is there a letter from Roza?"

She looks through the mail and slumps her shoulders. " No son, i'm sorry." I just nod. I turn on my heels and grab my backpack. " We should get going we don't want to be late for school." I quickly change the subject. Tasha obviously not feeling the tension nods and says," Yeah! Let's go!"

I call Lissa one more time and she comes rushing down the stairs, I give her a piece of toast and says thank you while shoving it in her mouth. We all pile into the car and drive to school. This being our routine for 2 years. Ultimately I gave up hope on me and Roza being together, I never once got a letter from her. So i tried moving on, with Tasha. She was always so nice and even thought i didn't feel the same way she did for me I just couldn't stop thinking about Roza. I could never stop thinking about my Roza.

2 years later

He never answered any one of my letters. I sent him 730 letters. One for everyday of the two years we were apart. Everytime he didn't answer a letter I felt a piece of my heart break. Today I was going back to Baia, Russia. I graduated yesterday, my graduation was the epitome of pathetic. After graduation all I saw where my ex- classmates being embraced by family and friends. While I just stood their alone. I went to my room and packed for today while everyone went out to celebrate. I didn't tell my parents that I was going home today. They didn't have the decency to attend my graduation so when I got home I was moving out, to where? God knows.

Stepping off the plane I felt the warm summer heat. A smile crawled up my face remembering all the memories I had here. I was walking the street with my one duffle bag. It was only 6 AM and no one was out yet. As I was about to round the corner I ran into a brick wall, or I think it was. Their arms shot out and steadied me. And then the smell of aftershave hits my senses and I immediately know who it I look up at the face that I've been waiting to see for 2 years.
