Chapter 7
APOV
It happened fast then, one minute I was next to Rose by the couch and the next I was being thorn across the room.
Dimitri was leaning over Rose, just ready to bite down on her neck. Strigoi were restraining Jesse, Eddie and me.
Rose was just lying there, helpless she was weak, and really hurt, I had to do something. And that something, was what I said and it was really stupid,
"Belikov, don't touch her or else." I sounded deadly but I was really only in the social latter, I tried.
He turned around to face me, and ran over in a blink of an eye.
"What Adrian, what are you going to do to me? Nothing, because you can't even brake free of the strigoi holding you. I'm going to take Rose, and maybe let you live if you don't bother me again, now be quite."
I opened my mouth to speak, but it wasn't my voice that came out.
"No." Eddie.
Dimitri whirled around, and looked at Eddie then the one dead strigoi on the floor; he killed him silently, so no one would here him.
"You are going to leave Rose, Jess, and Adrian alone, if someone is going to die tonight, it will be me." There was fierceness and determination in his voice, and it scared the hell out of me.
Rosemarie, can you hear me? Are you okay?
I only used her full name when I was dead serious, and I was.
Oh my god Rose, Adrian what happened to her?
Lissa, I'm fine, go back to doing whatever you are doing.
Lissa, Rose is fine just go back to what you were doing okay? She just got hurt, and she is refusing to let me heal her.
I knew it was a flat out lie, well part of it, she wouldn't let me heal her, but Rose being on her death bed, certainly wasn't nothing.
Fine, bye Adrian let him heal you Rose, bye.
I felt the connection brake, off Lissa's.
Rose,
Adrian,
Are you okay, how much does it hurt?
On a scale to 1-10, I would give it an 11. Did Dimitri hurt you? You shouldn't have said what you did.
I don't care; I could be dead as long as he left you alone I would be at peace.
She didn't answer
Rose?
Nada,
Rosie?
Panic started to flow throw me, I came back to reality, and Rose was still on the couch, it was just a matter if she was dead or not.
I realized that I have been let go, and I wasn't restrained anymore, all the strigoi were attacking Eddie, oh god, Eddie.
CPOV
My phone rang, it was Lissa, and she was on the verge of tears.
"Lissa, what is wrong?"
"Oh Christian it is Rose, she hurt, I just know it, I can't get into her head, and oh god what if she is dead!?"
"Liss, she isn't I promise."
"Can you go to there house, you know where it is right? I'm sorry I can't go I'm at court as you would know, and I will be back tomorrow, but can you please go?"
"Yeah sure, is it an emergency?"
"Christian! She is on the verge of death! And you ask if it is an emergency?! Sorry, I just lost it."
"Okay then I better go bye baby."
"Bye Christian."
I hung up, and ran out to the car; I speed off to Adrian and Rose house, hoping that they would both be alive when I get there.
RPOV
The pain was just too much for me, it hurt so much. And I kept feeling Lissa trying to get in, but I wouldn't let her, just to prevent her from seeing her like this. I could feel that she was panicking, and she had called Christian to help us, and I hope some other guardians.
I saw outside the window Christian's car, he was with 3 other guardians, Alberta, Stan and some other one that looked a lot like Mason.
I felt Adrian trying to get into my head, and I let him, he needed to know I was okay.
APOV
Gosh, Rose had strong walls when it came to trying get into her head, and finally she let me in, which was good.
She was alive and breathing, that was all I needed to know, I pulled out, I hate being in there longer then I have to.
Christian and 3 other people came up to the door, and I gave him a glare, that clearly said, be-quite-or-you-will-be-killed-and-so-will-Rose.
He nodded, and then the door came crashing off it hinges.
Soon all of strigoi head were alit with fire, while the guardian were staking them, except Dimitri, he escaped, will he ever die?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I hate you, you know?" Jesse said to me in a faint whisper. We were standing in the kitchen, getting some stuff for Rose.
"Not my fault Rose loves me more."
"I wish you never existed, I wish Rose was mining not yours."
"I wish you would leave me and her alone, but that isn't going o happen either now is it."
It has been a day since the attack on the house, Rose finally let me heal her a little bit, so now she could get up and walk around the house, but she always needed someone with her.
"You guys should really stop fighting over me since one of you already won." Rose stood near the doorway smirking.
JPOV
"You guys should really stop fighting over me since one of you already won." Rose stood near the doorway smirking.
I always loved her voice and right now, I would be in Ivashkov's position if I hadn't been such an ass in the academy.
"You're right we should." Adrian said he looked over Rose, to see if she was able to stand and not fall like she was this morning.
"I'm fine, stop worrying."
"Just checking baby," He walked over and pulled her to him by the waist, and kissed the top of her forehead.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, I could tell that it was gently, only because I was here, and it was full of love.
"You know I still exist." I said, sarcasm dripping off my every word, but also hurt as well.
"You know, maybe we should go somewhere else then, perhaps the bedroom?" Adrian asked, in a seductive tone.
Rose shook her head, "What am I going o do with you Ivashkov?"
"I have a few ideas if you would want to try them out." He was really pushing my limit.
The phone rang and I picked it up, it was Lissa.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Jesse, is that you?"
"Yup,"
"How are you? We need to get together sometimes, you know our little group that you are now part of."
"Of course, Lissa, so why did you call?" I looked over to Rose, I knew that once she heard Lissa's name that she would come running over a she did, it worked! Adrian shot the dirtiest look at me, and I just smiled in return, then I could tell that Adrian told Rose something in her head.
APOV
"Of course, Lissa, so why did you call?" I heard Jesse say from the phone, and Rose imminently let go of me, and ran over to where Jesse stood. I glared at him and he smiled in return, god I hate him.
Rosie, someone, by that I mean Jesse is being an asshole, make him stop.
Rose looked at me, and rolled her eyes, yes I sounded like a 3 year old, but I really didn't care right now. She sighed, and I took that as a yes.
Rose looked at Jesse smiling, as if she figured it out all on her own, she raised one eyebrow and gave him the 'you-know-I-know-what-is-going-on-look-so-stop-it' look. He saw it and glared at me, I didn't blame him, I now he could tell when we were doing the bond thing, and when we weren't, so he knew I told her, but I didn't give a shit.
Rose then took the phone, and said thing like 'okay' 'yeah' 'whatever' fine, and so on, I knew what they were talking about and I knew we were going over to Lissa's house for dinner tomorrow, but I was still going to let Rose have her fun.
"Adrian! We are going over to Lissa's house tomorrow! I haven't seen her since graduation! It has been 2 weeks! The longest ever!" She squealed in excitement.
I shook my head and smiled, "Rose, Rose, Rose what are we going to do with you?"
She shrugged and ran over and gave me a quick peak on the lips, and hugged me tight.
"I can see you aren't very excited to go?" Sarcasm dripped off my words, and I smirked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," She smirked and started to walk away.
"No you don't," I grabbed her waist from behind and pulled her towards me, "I love you Rose."
"Love you Adrian," She whispered, and then added teasingly, "drunken moroi boy."
"I'm not a boy; I'm over 13 you know,"
"But what about at heart?" She knew me too well.
"Fine you win,"
"Yes,"
"Come, let's go somewhere more I don't know privet, maybe like upstairs, and I will give you an award." I asked seductively.
"Later,"
"Really?" My face light up, from just the thought.
She leaned up and whispered, so no one else would here, "Of course,"
I kissed her, a long deep passionate kiss, I loved her so much.
"I do really have a surprise for you, and I know it is early, but I don't care, we can wait if you want."
"What are you talking about baby?"
"Come in my bedroom and find out, and it isn't what I was talking about before." I pulled her up the stairs, and she looked down to the floor the whole time, a little terrified.
I pulled her into my room, and opened the closet; I had to find that ring.
I finally found it and put it in my pocket; I walked over to Rose and got down on one knee.
"Rose, I always knew that we were meant to be, and you were my other half since the first day in the ski lodge, when you were hurt, I just lost it, I thought you would be gone forever. I always want to be with you Rose, please tell me you love me, before I do this."
"I love you Adrian Ivashkov."
I pulled out the small velvet box from my pocket, and looked up at Rose, her face showed shock, but it also showed happiness.
I opened it, to revel a silver based diamond ring. The diamond was surrounded by smaller diamonds that were encrusted into the silver, the base had twisted metal in order to give it affect, I bought this the first day I met her, hoping this day would come and it did.
"Rosemarie Hathaway will you marry me?"
She stared at me in shock, and I really thought that she was going to say no for a second, until she jumped on top of me.
"Is this a yes?"
"Why did you even ask that, of course it is a yes!" She was crying from happiness, my fiancée.
I was lying on my back, her on top of me, kissing me on the lips, will so much passion; I thought she would die from the lack of air.
After she finally broke away, I slide the ring on her finger.
Her smiled was so big, and I guess so was mine, I loved her so much, and I always will.
"Can we go tell them?" She w=asked excitement in her voice.
"Come on Rosie," I pushed her off me and pulled her up, only then scooping her up in my arms and carrying her down my stairs.
JPOV
Adrian came down the stairs with Rose in his arms; I thought she was hurt until I saw the huge smile on her face, and the glittery ring on her finger.
No, she couldn't, no, please god no.
CPOV
Adrian and Rose came down the stairs, Rose in Adrian arms, I saw the huge grins on there faces and the ring on her finger, they were getting married; Lissa's going to be really mad for not being the first to know.
And soon Lissa would wear a ring like that on her finger, tomorrow; I was going to ask her to marry me.
RPOV
The happiness that I felt inside me was over whelming, I was getting married to Adrian, I don't care what people thought, I was getting married to someone I loved and that was all that mattered.
I. Love. Adrian. Ivashkov.
JPOV
He put her down, and then there were fighting of who was to tell, Adrian was going to tell.
"Guess what, me and Rose are getting married!"
Pain filled my chest, she loved him, not me, but all I wanted was her to love me, but that wasn't enough, I needed to get her back, I needed her more than anything, or anyone that ever walked this planet, more than air to breath.
No One's POV
Eddie's face was light up, Jesse faced dropped, Christian face was so happy for them and Roses and Adrian's faces were filled with love and joy.
Jesse put on a fake smile, in order to hide the pain, but Rose saw through it, she smiled a sad smile at him.
"Jesse," She said simply, and went up top him and hugged him, he stood there shocked at first, but soon gripped her tight, nothing more than a friendly hug, but Jesse still light up like a little kid on Christmas.
"Rose, I will always love you, please remember that." Jesse whispered, and no one else could here besides Rose. A single tear ran down his face, landing into her silky, soft hair.
"You will always be my best friend; I do love you, just in a different way."
He pulled her away, and looked her in the eyes, "When you getting married?"
She laughed a smile now on both of their faces.
The end of chapter 7, thank you very much. Hope you guys like it, I was going to end it when he asked if he will marry her, but I would think that was evil, so I didn't. I always end on a positive note in this story well R&R PLEASE!
