Chapter 10

Dimitri POV

The walls felt like they were slowly closing in on me, and my chest felt too tight. My feet make scraping noises as I pass back and forth across the waiting room. We have been at the hospital for three hours now and I still have not been allowed in to see Rose.

As soon as we arrived after rescuing her, the nurses took her to the back right away telling Viktoria, Eddie, and I to stay in the waiting room. An hour passed with no news and I was getting restless, my knee bouncing up and down as I waiting impatiently for some sort of news. Another hour passed, which is when Adrian showed up at the hospital bringing food with him. I couldn't eat though as my stomach just felt like one giant knot. It is now the third hour of waiting and I don't know how much more I can take before I just barge my way back there and demand to know If Rose is okay.

"Dimka?" Viktoria's soft voice breaks through the dead silence of the room, "Why don't you sit down? You're going to wear a hole in the floor and your pacing isn't going to make this go any faster."

I shoot Viktoria a glare and she backs off right away. I continue my pacing feeling a little bad because this wasn't her fault, but there was just no way I could sit down right now.

Finally as the fourth hour approaches a doctor comes out.

"Hello, I am Dr. Krushnic, I assume you're here for Rose," the dark haired doctor says looking at me with startling blue eyes. I just nod my head yes. "Well, Rose is stable now. I honestly am surprised she is alive with the injuries she has sustained. She has major blood loss, frost bite on some of her toes, although we were able to save them. Also the many lacerations she has sustained were infected. We are treating her right now with antibiotics but there is still a risk of this becoming blood poising or something else that is life threatening. You were lucky to get her in here before the infections spread, so she should be fine. She was also pretty dehydrated and malnourished. We have cleaned her up the best we can, stitched up what we could, and done imaging to check for internal damage. She is still asleep right now, and there is no saying when she will wake up because my guess is now that she knows she is safe her mind has shut down to give her body time to heal. I do not know what happened but judging by how a lot of those lacerations were not new this was going on for awhile. Meaning she was put under so much stress there is no telling when she could wakeup. You may go back and see her now. " Dr. Krushnic smiles at me, but all I can do is breathe a sigh of relief that Rose was probably going to be okay.

"Well lead the way then Doc." I say indicating with my head for him to show us the way.

I feel Viktoria, Eddie, and Adrian following close behind me as we make our way back to Rose's room. We walk in and I choke a little when I see her laying in the bed, wrapped up in bandages, tubes and wires running out of her. "Oh Roza," I whisper under my breath, while I make my way over to her bedside. I grab the nearest chair and pull it up to her bed side, taking her cold hand in mine. The others gather at the foot of the bed and I look up to see a couple tears rolling down Viktoria's cheeks. Eddie holds her close and the three just stand there not saying anything.

After awhile Eddie finally speaks up, "Now that we know she is going to be alright I think we should head back to the house and get some much needed sleep. It is almost four in the morning. We can come back once we've rested and changed." Viktoria just nods her head in agreement, and Adrian pats Rose gently on the foot before leaving the room.

"No, I am going to stay here. Someone should be here in case she wakes up." I say looking at Eddie. I can see in his eyes how much he wants to protest the idea but he doesn't. Instead he just nods his head and leads my exhausted sister out of the room.

Once they are all gone I turn back to Rose and rub her hand softly with my thumb. "Rose… Roza… I.. I am so sorry," I feel my throat getting tight and tears that I have been holding back start to threaten to break through. I caused this, this is my entire fault. She would never have been in this mess if it wasn't for me.

The longer I sit there the more set I become on what I am going to do next. It hurts, it hurts so much thinking about it but I know it is the right choice.

As soon as Rose is healed up and I know she is going to be okay, I am going to leave her life forever and she will never hear from me again. Hopefully she will go back to have as normal of a life as possible.

I set my mind to this plan and I sit there just watching her because I know I won't have much more time to do it. Gently I bring her hand up to my lips and kiss it.

I don't know when but I eventually slip off to sleep, my head resting next to our still interlocked hands.

Wow! So tell me what you think about Dimitri's plan to leave Rose? And aren't we all happy Rose is probably going to be okay! :D

Once again I am so so so so sorry for the really short update and how long it is taking me to update! I promise with all my heart the next one will be way way way longer. I love you guys so much!

Also, if anyone can figure out what famous actor I took the Dr's name from (No it doesn't involve VA) I will love you forever and might even add you into my story or something awesome like that XD
