This chapter is going to be in Adrian's point of view. Mostly because I have a surprise but also I wanted to mix it up a little. I hope you enjoy it. I made Adrian a little crazy. I wanted to try something different. I haven't read a story where he is off the charts nuts so please bare with me on this.

I watched as she gave the bartender a confused look and then I could practically see the light bulb go on within her head. She turned and looked at me. I couldn't help the smirk that found its way on my face. Did she really think I was going to let her go just like that? No way in hell. I love her. Someone great once told me that we hold onto the things we love the most. And I loved Rose the most. I couldn't let her go. She made me feel things that no one else could. Not even Sydney... Sydney. My heart wrenched. She was an old girlfriend. She was practical and conventional. Others might think of her as boring but she wasn't. She was my rock. The one woman who knew me inside and out.

I lied to Rose about Sydney. We didn't grow apart. She died. I couldn't bring myself to tell Rose about her death. It is too much for me to even acknowledge her death. My sweet little angel is still here with me. I could still feel her soft blond hair through my fingers if I imagined hard enough. I could still smell her on my pillow if I tried hard enough.

Rose is the exact opposite of Sydney but I feel connected to Sydney when I'm with Rose. I let Sydney get away but there was no way in hell I was going to let Rose get away too.

I snapped out of my mental rambling when Rose approached me. She looked pissed.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked rather loudly. I just leaned back in my chair with a carefree air.

"Getting a drink." I responded.

"Why did you pick this bar? Are you stalking me?" She demanded.

"I was simply in the area. You know not everything is about you little angel." I said continuing my carefree posture. I knew she liked it when I acted nonchalant about everything. My carefree nature is what attracted her in the first place.

"Don't call me that. I'm not your angel." She said with annoyance clear on her face. I only laughed.

"You'll always be my little angel." I said. My smirk growing as she glared at me.

"Why did you order me that drink?" She questioned.

"It is a friendly gesture."

"Well don't do it again." She yelled.

"Why so angry little angel. Trouble at home?" I smirked at her incredulous face.

"That is none of your business Adrian. Now you need to leave. Now." She demanded. She seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. Her anger only make her look sexier.

"No. I think I'll stay. I'm quite enjoying the view." I then took a sip from my glass as I stare her down to let her know that she is the view that I'm enjoying. Suddenly she looks behind her and a skinny blond girl who was with her earlier is standing behind us.

"Rose, maybe we should just go." The blond girl says to Rose.

Rose turns back around to glare at me. "No. He's not going to scare us off. Don't bother us Adrian!" Rose says to me and then turns to walk away. I can't let her leave just yet.

I walk up to her which took a few steps because she was walking away pretty fast and grabbed her elbow to turn her around to look at me. "Leaving so soon?" I ask.

"Let. Go." She growled at me sounding like a mad dog. I released her and started my plea for her to stay.

"Why don't you stay so we can catch up?" I ask.

"No." She says immediately.

"Come on Rose. One drink. For old times sake." I bargain.

"Adrian that was last week and I told you on the phone that we are over. I'm working things out with Dimitri. Please leave me alone. It's over!" She says and it feels like a knife through my heart. I don't let my face show it but I'm deeply wounded by the idea that she can drop what we had so easily. She takes my silence as acceptance and walks away. She ends up leaving with the skinny blond girl and I have no choice but to retreat back to the bar.

As I sit down and I think back to how Sydney had said similar words to me.

*Flashback*

We were in my apartment and Sydney was trying to pack up her stuff that she left over. I grabbed her elbows to stop her from packing and forced her to look at me.

"Adrian, please just let me go. I need to move on with my life." Sydney says while she is crying.

"I love you." I say completely monotone. I can't show how much she is hurting me right now.

"No you don't. I saw you with her. I saw you cheating on me! You don't do that to people you love." Now I was angry. I thought she understood. She had to.

"You can't leave me!" I shout at her. She flinches back.

"I already have." She says and jerks out of my hold. She goes to pick up her bag and throws the rest of her stuff in it. She didn't have that much stuff at my place but it was scattered so it took her a while.

When she was walking across the apartment to leave I grabbed her again.

"Don't go Syd. I need you." I pleaded on the verge of tears.

"Please let go. I don't love you. I never loved you. You were nothing to me." She shouted at me and I got lost in my rage. How dare she say that. I knew in my heart that she loved me. She had to. What we had was special. I brought my hand back and smacked her straight across the face. I ended up releasing my hold on her so she fell to the floor.

"Don't ever say that again!" I said in a deep low voice. She could never deny our love. She looked up at me with tears running down her face and holding her cheek. After a few minutes of our stare down she silently whispered to me.

"You don't hurt people you love Adrian."

I bend down to her but she flinched away. "I'm so sorry baby. It won't happen again. I love you. Love makes us do crazy things. But you can't give up on us angel. You're my little angel. We need to be together." I told her and reached to hug her. She stiffened at my touch. She put her hands on my chest and pushed me away and then got up and made a run for the door. But I was faster. I grabbed her ankle so that she fell but I didn't expect her to get back up so quickly. She made a mad dash for the door but while she was fumbling with the lock I came up behind her and grabbed her head and smashed it into the door. Sydney fell unconscious and slumpled to the floor. I couldn't let her go. I couldn't let her leave me.

I grabbed her body and held her in my arms. I softly pet her hair.

"Shhh Sydney. It's okay. We'll be together. We can't let our love go. We can't let go little angel.

*End of Flashback*

I was pulled out of my memory by someone sitting down beside me.

"Was that your girlfriend?" He asked. I snorted.

"Not exactly." I looked down at my drink. Still depressed over Rose.

"How do you mean?" He questioned.

"She will be soon. I just have to convince her to leave her husband." I explain to him.

"She's cute. Feisty too. Must be the same in bed." The guy said. He seemed a little arrogant.

"Yeah well I wouldn't know." I said and finished off my drink. I felt bad for being such a dick to this guy but I was in a bad mood and didn't feel like chatting it up.

"You haven't hit that?" He asked.

"Not yet. But I plan to." I said with a smirk. Suddenly lifted by the thought of bringing my little angel home with me.

"What is standing in your way?" He asked.

"Her husband. But she'll come to her senses and leave him." I told him.

"What makes you think that?"

"I have a plan." I tell him.

"Want some advice?"

"Sure." I said and then finally turned to look at the guy.

"Stay away from my wife!" And with that his fist connected with my face and a loud crunch could be heard by people outside the bar. The worst physical pain I have ever experienced in my life hit me like a freight train as I fell to the floor. Blood spurting everywhere.

Ouch. A broken nose sounds so painful. Well I wrote this really fast. I hope you liked it. Adrian is supposed to sound crazy.

Don't be too mean when judging it because again I wrote this in a hurry.
