I listened to the endless chatter of my sisters. After finally reaching the hospital, mama had started crying when she saw me lying in bed. Luckily she was less concerned now, after I had explained my condition to her. Victoria and Ivan were in cloud nine at the moment, euphoric from seeing each other again.

I had yet to see Rose today, which surprised me. Normally she would come in as soon as her shift started. Just when I was thinking about this, a knock on the door ripped me away from my thoughts and I called for the person to come in.

My Roza entered, looking as beautiful as ever. "Good morning" she chirped cheerfully. The first thing I noticed, was that she had her hair down, she never let it down during the workday. The second thing I noticed, was the large bruise on her cheek. I gasped, and everyone looked at me. "Mama, can I talk with doctor Hathaway for a moment?" I asked.
She got the hint and left, taking Ivan and my sisters with her.

"Roza" I said. She ignored me and continued checking my stats. "Look at me." She turned her head towards me but kept looking down. I touched her hand, and her eyes met mine. "Who did this to you?"
A tear ran down her cheek. "Oh Roza…" I sighed, while opening my arms for her. I held the love of my life and whispered sweet nothings in Russian to her as she continued to sob. It broke my heart.

After a while she had calmed down enough to let me repeat my question. The answer was simple: "Jesse." I frowned, not knowing who she was talking about. "My ex-boyfriend."

I listened as she told me the complete story, every little detail. By the time she was finished, I was furious.
it was silent for a few minutes as I was trying to calm down. It didn't work. "Where is he?" I asked through clenched teeth. Roza didn't answer. I shot up, which was a bad idea. As soon as I felt the pain in my chest I let out a scream.
Rose acted fast. She took a hold of my shoulders and pushed me gently back down. then, she checked if I hadn't ripped any stitches, which luckily wasn't the case. "You have to be careful!" she scolded me.
"I'm going to freaking rip his head off." I threatened. "No, you're not, Dimitri Belikov." Roza said. "Once I get out of this bed I will." I mumbled. Rose left a few minutes later, because she got paged. She kissed me goodbye and left me alone with my thought on how to murder the ex-boyfriend.
