The 16th is my birthday and after that I'm going to start working so I'm sorry to say I don't know how often I will be able to update. I will try for you guys though. I hope I'm doing a good job with you guys.

Eventually there was a knock at the door. All my tears were dry by then. "One second!" I shouted. I went into the bathroom and cleaned my face so it didn't look like I was crying.

I opened the door and there stood Lissa. "Hey, Liss!" She gave me a look that said "Cut the crap."

"What happened Rose? Dimitri came over pissed as hell and claimed you were a horrible girlfriend. I know that he has been drinking lately, but what did he do to make you spend the night at Adrian's?"

"Lissa, he didn't tell you everything that happened. I came home from work and he was drunk. He was told not to drink. I got all my stuff and then I went to your house, but you could hear you and Sparky fucking from the hall way." At that she blushed. Good. "The only other person who would let me stay is Adrian. That's why I stayed."

"Oh Rose. I'm sorry. I think we should have a girl's day. Sound good?" I thought about it for a second. Hmmm. That did sound good.

"So what the plans for our girl day?" I asked.

"WE are going to go to the salon and get manicures and pedicures. After that we're going for full body massages and then we are going to the movies. From there we are going to have a sleep over."

That all sounded so good. I told her to wait and then I went to go get dressed. The whole day was fun. I thought the end was funny because Lissa kicked Christian out for the night. He complained, but went with it.

I woke up with a horrible neck cramp. I still felt relaxed from the previous day. I miss days where it was just Lissa and I. No boys, no drama. It made me happy to know that we could still have time together though. I don't know how long, but as long as we can now it's better than nothing.

I walked into Lissa's kitchen and there was a note on the counter. It read:

I'm sorry Rose. I got caught up in queen business. I had to leave the house. I felt bad so I picked you up some chocolate donuts.

~Liss.

That's a bummer. I better get home and make sure the house is clean. When I came across the door to my room I heard some yelling. I ran into the room and saw Dimitri. He was screaming at Adrian who was on the floor and looked bloody and bruised. Dimitri raised his hand to hit Adrian, but I jumped into the way just in time to get hit instead. Dimitri blinked. "I'm sorry Roza! I didn-"

I cut him off and I was pissed. "What the fuck, Dimitri? Adrian did nothing wrong. You have no right to hit him…" I looked down at Adrian with tears in my eyes. "I'm sorry Adrian!"

I helped him back up and walked him to his room without another look at Dimitri. I put him on his bed. "I'll be back to help clean you up and I'll get pain killers on the way. I'm so sorry. I will be right back!"

All Adrian did was moan in response. Dimitri did a number on him and it looked painful. I went straight back to Dimitri. He looked up as I entered the room. "I don't even know you anymore Dimitri. You are a changed man and you can't always blame it on your strigoi past. I think I'm going to stay somewhere else till you get better." He gave me a weird look. "No that doesn't mean I'm breaking up with you. This is for my safety. I can't live with you if I'm scared I'll wake up to your hand hitting my face." Without hearing him out I packed a bag. I was sick of forgiving him. He went way to far today.

I walked past him and went to help Adrian.

I walked into his room and he looked up and smiled. "What's so funny Ivashkov?" I asked.

He looked at me. "Nothing is. You just look like a guardian angel walking in here. It helps that you're coming to help me." That made me blush. He had such a sweet heart when he wanted to and towards those he loved. I gave him the pain killer and a cup of water. "Take this." He looked it greedily. I didn't blame him. I started cleaning him up from the beating. "I really am sorry Adrian. He has changed so much. Can you tell me what the hell happened?"

Adrian just smiled. "It's not your fault. I'll tell you, but first I want you to answer a question and do it honestly."

That didn't sound like a bad deal, but I knew what he was going to ask about. That didn't make it very good on my part I really wanted to know what happened. "Sure."

Adrian looked at me with a guiltily. "Do you ever regret choosing him and not me?"

I sighed. I knew it. "Sometimes I do. You are so sweet and loving. You don't treat me the way he is and never would. I thought that about him once, but I was wrong. When you do something wrong…you don't deny it or make an excuse. IF I could go back with the information I have now...I would have always chosen you.

He looked at me and then. He kissed me. I kissed him back. I felt the spark that I use to feel with Dimitri inside that kiss. The same spark that is missing from Dimitri now...
