Chapter eight

Rose's POV

I sat back on the cot and grinned at Dimitri. "Your getting me out of here right?" I asked him and he nodded.

"I know you innocent Rose-" I jumped up and glared at the officer.

"You see. He believes me. You stupid dumb ass cob." Dimitri muttered something to the officer and he chuckled and muttered something back. Dimitri sighed.

"Rose. Your going into court soon."

"Court? As in judge and a big wooden hammer?" I asked sitting back down. Dimitri nodded sadly and I groaned.

"It wasn't me. It was self defence. My mother has been making me take it as a school activity for years." I groaned and stared up at the grey ceiling. It was so boring. The grey ceiling had few cracks to look at and metal bars that don't spark my interest.

"This sucks." I groaned. I glanced at Dimitri. "Have you called Lissa?" Dimitri smirked knowingly and nodded.

"Yes I have. Unfortunately for you I don't know where we are so I couldn't really-"

"Oh she's going to kill for sure this time and don't get me started on her boyfriend. He'll probably be laughing his freaking ass off and they'll have to cancel the wedding because they were here instead trying to bail me out of jail." I exclaimed cutting him off. I watched as he clamped his lips together and ran a hand through his shiny brown hair. I slumped down the grey brick wall and shoved my face into my hands

"I guess it could be worse." He told me. I looked up at him.

"How could this be worse? I-I don't even know anymore. I buried my head back into my hands and groaned. "I didn't even want to come. I knew Adrian is going to be there and that's only going to make it worse."

"Rose-" Dimitri started but once again I cut him off.

"I don't even look good in pink. Why did I let her choose the dresses. I am such an idiot. She has a freaking cat for gods sake. I hate cats."

"Rose-" Dimitri tried to interrupt again but I went on in my rant.

"You know last year I tried killing myself. I was that depressed. I came this close as well. This close." I made a small amount of space between two of my fingers

"And the only person to bring me out of it was Lissa. When she gets married she's not going to have time for me anymore. I'll always be the third wheel. Like always. I can't even read a stupid navigator right."

There was no sound from Dimitri this time. I looked up to see him standing there staring at me as if I had gone crazy.

Then he did something I least expected him to do in this situation. He started laughing.

Was this an insult? Or couldn't he handle me like everyone else?

He looked at me and smiled.

"Rose. I am so glad you can't read a navigator." He took a step forward and gripped the bars between his hands. I glanced behind him to the space that the officer used to be but he was no longer there.

I looked up at Dimitri as he rested his head on the bars and sighed.

"Because if you could I would never of met you. I don't care anymore that you left me with a broken car on my doorstep or a sister who is probably hating my guts. In fact I don't even care about all the stuff my grandmother has been saying."

"What has your grandmother been saying?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"All that matters is getting you out of here. Look. Here's what we're going to do. Is there anyone you can call that may help you?"
"No... My mother is in the states and well everyone else is everywhere else." He chuckled.

"So just you and me huh?" He asked and I nodded.

"Just you and me Dimitri." He grinned.

There was silence between us and I finally looked up at him.

"What did your grandmother say about me?"

XXXXXXXX

I stood inside the small rectangle box and watched as the other two men walked away in cuffs. They were to spend a lot of years in jail. I wasn't really listening to how many because I was way to nervous. I glanced over at Dimitri a couple of times and he gave me a reassuring smile each time. I smiled back and faced the judge. It was a man with a turning white beard. He was fat and seemed to cough a lot while he spoke. I was actually really surprised at three things.

One: How the heck did he get up there by himself?

Two: How did he even fit on that seat?

Three: Why the hell isn't he dead yet? From all that coughing he seemed to be making a storm in here.

I was shoved over a bit as a man came in next to me. He was in a full suit and wore a scarf around his neck. A earring hung from his left ear and he turned to me.

"Good afternoon Rose." he said with a slight smile. I frowned.

"Hey I know you-"

"Yes. Yes. Everyone does. Now what did I tell you at the train station?" He asked me and I frowned.

"You told me to go home."
"And what did you do?"

"I was on the freaking train-"
"You get locked up in jail. I feel sorry for your mother." he said shaking his head and readjusting his scarf. What the hell? How did he know I lived with just my mother?

"Who do you think you are? My father?" He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye and smirked.

"For now I am your lawyer." I snorted and turned my head away.

"You don't look much like a lawyer." I muttered.

He cleared his throat and shuffled through his papers. "That's because I'm not." I mouth fell open and I was about to shout at him when the judge banged his hammer and started saying stuff in Russian.

The didn't really pay attention to what anyone was saying as I sat in my seat fiddling with the chain between my hands. I was to distracted by my thoughts to even hear my 'lawyer' call my name until he nudged me "Rose." He hissed and I looked up at him. "get up." I rolled my eye's and stood up beside him. I faced the judge as he looked at me with amused eye's.

"Your honer." He started and was quickly translater "My client here is pleading not guilty." His words were quickly translated "Because she is obviously not guilty. The only reason she was in that train was to get to St Petersburg and she would not of been on that train other wise. She was simply being misunderstood." I watched his moves carefully as he moved out from behind the desk and into the open space. "Have you examined the gun for other finger prints?" There was a mutter around the room and the judge shook his head and said something in Russian. The translator translated it quickly.

"No. We did not see the need." My 'laywor' grinned.

"Therefor how do you not know she was not using self defence? She could of easily picked up the gun and not know how to use it from her attacker?" His every word was translated for him again. I watched as he paced back and forth across the floor before the judge. "I do believe that the other two boys said that there was three men involved. Does my client here a man? Does SHE look like a man?" There was chuckles around the room "I don't believe she does but if you want me to show you then-" He came towards me but the judge shouted something and he smirked. "Good. Now as I was saying... right. Well she if not guilty for all charges. Those witnesses were in a frightened state and didn't know how to respond. Which is why I say that they didn't know what happened. There for I rest my case." He sat back down beside me and smiled. The judge thought for a moment before nodding and grabbing his hammer.

"I pronounce that Rosemairy Hathaway is" Silence went through the room "Not guilty." I jumped up from my seat and let out a scream of joy. I can finally go to Lissa and get this wedding on. I grinned as the man came to take off my cuffs and I ran over to Dimitri. I hugged him tight and squeezed him tight. I pulled back to see him grinning at me.

"Dimitri. You are the most amazing man I have ever met."

He smiled down at me "As are you Rose." I could help but smile some more.

"I am going to miss you Dimitri." I said hugging him again. He froze beneath my touch.

"What?" He said pulling back. I rolled my eye's.

"I'm going to Lissa's wedding and your going back home... Remember?"

"But I-"

"Plus you need to talk to your sister." I smiled at him "She's a nice girl... Just a tad of attitude."

Dimitri stared at me for a moment before handing me my bag.

"I er found it in evidence... Well they gave it to me anyway." I took it from his hands and grinned at him. He dug around him his pocket and pulled out my phone. "Here. This is your'se I believe." I stared at the black screen and took it from his hands.

"Thanks." He cleared his throat as my smile faded.

"Do you want me to drive you to St Petersburg?" He asked and I shook my head.

"No. It's okay. I'll get a cab." I said heading out onto the street. I saw my so called 'laywor' trying to get away from the crime scene. I jogged over to him.

"Hey." I said. He turned around to face me and sighed.

"This time you better go home." He told me and I shook my head.

"No old man. I'm going to a wedding." He rolled his eye's at my stubbornness.

A cold wind whipped around us and I shivered. He studied me for a moment before taking off his scarf and handing it to me. "It's cold out. Wouldn't want you to get a cold now. Would you?" I gladly took it and wrapped it around my neck. I clutched my arms as he turned away again.

"I never got your name." I called to him. He turned back to me and smirked.

"Ibriham." His name was something new and some how familier to me. He shoved his hands in his suit pocket and walked away from us. I turned back to Dimitri who had managed to get a cab.

I walked over to him and he handed me some money.

"This should get you there." He muttered to me and I threw my bag in the back.

I looked up at him and smiled.

"Thanks Dimitri. You've been a great friend." I gave him another hug and pulled back to look up at him.

"Maybe we'll meet again somewhere?" I grinned up at him as I sat down in the passenger seat. Dimitri grabbed the door and held it open.

"Rose. I truly am sorry for everything that has happened in your life." I shrugged my shoulders and smiled at him.

"It doesn't matter anyway." I rummaged through my pockets and gave him the keys to my car.

"here. Keep the car. I don't need it anyway. Seems you can fix it and I don't really need it anymore." He nodded his head and took the keys from my waiting hand.

He closed the door and started to back away as the taxi pulled out of it's parking spot. The driver looked over at me and smiled.

"So where to ma'am?"

"The Provin Hotel in St Petersburg." I told him. He nodded as I let my head fall back onto the head rest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I grabbed my back from the back and heard a high pitch scream from behind me making me flinch and bang my head into the top of the car. I turned around to face Lissa. She screamed again and ran over to me.

Well as fast as she can in her designer heels that she's weiring.

She pulled me into a hug and then looked behind me.

"So where's this Dimitri guy I heard so much about?" She asked me and I shrugged. I watched the taxi pull out after I paid him his money and turned to Lissa.

"He's gone home."

Lissa pulled back surprised and confused "What? No. Why?" She whined to me and I shrugged.

"I told him to go home. It's no big deal Lissa-"

"No big deal? You said this was the hottest man you have ever met-"

"Hey." An annoying voice said from behind Lissa "I am standing right here ladies." I turned to Christan and grinned. His black hair had been styled perfectly and he wore a button down shirt with shorts which seemed to match Lissa perfectly.

Lissa was in a floor length dress and hugged Christan's arm.

"I know honey but right now we're talking Russian's." Lissa said smiling at him. Christan rolled his eye's at us and shoved his hands into his pockets. I have got to admit it. They are the perfect couple for each other. Although they might look a little weired at first with Christan with a dark look and Lissa looking like the sun they were really perfect for each other.

"There isn't much to tell." I said heading towards the large hotel. The glass reflected off the sun and left a painful glow when you go to look at them.

Lissa followed close behind me wanting to get information while Christan was a little more reluctant.

"Come on Rose. Tell me everything." She whined. I sighed finally giving up on her

"Alright. I staid with his family. They were really nice... although I left on bad terms with some of them." Christan chuckled at that.

"Of cause you did Rose. That's what you do. You mess things up and you leave." I turned to glare at him.

"Shut you. I've been the one in the desert for days. Stuck in a jail, shouted at my a pissy Russian chick and then on top of all that it's really really hot and they have really bad air conditioning out there." I hissed at him. He took at step back and raised his hands.

"Woah. No need to go all... that on me." I rolled my eye's and made my way to the front desk with Lissa.

"So was he smart? What did he do most of the time? Did he fix your car?" I turned to Lissa and smiled.

"Yes Lissa he fixed my car." I said sarcastically while rolling my eye's "He was smart... in his own way. He used to do boxing and he rides a motorcycle."

"I like him already." Christan butted in and I turned to him.

"You don't even know him." He shrugged his shoulders.

"He sounds cool. A Russian who rides motorcycles are always cool... Is he also involved in the mafia cause I need him to hit a few people." He chuckled evilly and I rolled my eye's at him again. He was the most stupidest person I have ever met.

"No I didn't-"
"So why didn't you invite him for the wedding?" Lissa asked me "I mean it would have been perfect. You go with Dimitri and not alone while being stalked by Adrian the whole night." It was silent for a moment and Lissa turned to the lady at the desk.

"Um I believe I have another room reserved." The lady tapped away and nodded.

"Yes a single double bed room." She handed her over a key and Lissa smiled at her.

"Thank you." Lissa turned to me and handed me the key.

"About Adrian." I said sighing "Look I'm going to have to face him sometime. It doesn't matter if it's now or another time. As long as he isn't drunk." Lissa giggled and then burst into full blown laughing.

"When isn't he drunk?" She said while peeing her pants laughing. I looked around and people were giving us funny looks as they passed. They were mostly the really rich people and they glared at me mostly because I looked like a hobo off the streets. I glared back as a old woman came past with blond hair and a little pug on a leash following behind her with his head held high like the little brat it probably is.

I glanced down at the small card in my hands and sighed.

"I guess your right. He isn't ever really sober."

"Come on Rose. Let's get you to your room. You need to sleep and you have dresses to try on tomorrow anyway." I groaned mentally and physically.

"Can I change the colour. You know pink clashes with... well... my face." Lissa rolled her eye's.

"I know that. Which is why I changed it to blue. You'll love it. It's the perfect little dress and Tasha helped me pick it out-"

"Tasha." I muttered again. Christan came up behind me.

"Yes Tasha." He said rolling his eye's like I was suffering from memory loss or something. "She's my auntie and like the only family I have left."

"I know that." I snapped at him and jumped in the elevator.

"twenty five please." Lissa said smiling at the young boy who smiled back and pressed one of the buttons.

"No it's not that... Dimitri told me about someone called Natasha but... It doesn't matter anyway." I said shaking my head. "it's in the past. Let's focus on the now."

"Wow Rose. I have never seen you so focused to forget someone in your life. What happened back there?" Lissa asked and I shook my head again.

"As I said... it doesn't matter. Some memories are left to be forgotten." Lissa sighed again and the elevator pulled to a stop. I watched them both go down to their suite and I walked down the corridor to mine. I slid the card into the door opened it with ease. I put my bag down and looked around the room. It was so... big. I walked through the living room and then down to the bedroom and saw the massive bed there. I grinned and couldn't help myself but run over to the bed and jump on it. As soon as I hit the matress I was asleep.

YAY finally back in St petersburg but with no Dimitri.

Ohhh Abe is so sly.
