A/N: Hey All!
So, here is the new chapter *yay* the confrontation *Oohh* scary.
Alot of you are probably going 'Rose kick Tasha's ass!' and then others are going. 'Rose, get rid of Adrian, grab Dimitri and high tail outta there' and then others are going. 'CloudedMindx has lost her damn mind!'
Well maybe I have, but you can't blame me, blame Dimitri for being a butt head and leaving Rose, but will he go back to her? *evil laugh* I know! I know!
So here we go; the song for this chapter is; Broken-Hearted Girl by Beyonce`

10. Broken-Hearted Girl
"Rose, my angel, look at me," I heard Adrian whisper in my ear, but I couldn't respond, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the deep brown ones. "Angel, please, turn away and look at me," Adrian sounded pained and I finally blinked and looked into his emerald green eyes. He visibly relaxed when I looked at him.
"Adrian, I-I think I should sit down," My knees felt weak and wobbly. It had been nearly three weeks since I had seen him last, and my chest was feeling emptier than ever.
Adrian looked at me and nodded, kissing my forehead and guiding me to our table. Lissa, Christian, Eddie and Mia were already there. I sat with Adrian across from everyone. They didn't speak, didn't try. Adrian had my hand under the table, fingers entwined.
Fuck, fuck, fuck no! Fuck off, don't come over here! Lissa was yelling in her head, I looked at her, raising my eyebrows in question.
Their coming over here, shit Rose, I didn't think they would come here I just shrugged, and it was about then that I saw two empty spots at the table next to me, with two very specific names. I growled and Adrian tugged on my hand, looking at me questioningly, I looked pointedly at the names on the table and Adrian's eyes narrowed. That's when the bitch approached.
"Christian, honey I have missed you so much!" She yelled happily, running to Christian. He stood and half hugged her.
"Hello aunt, hope you have been well," She looked confused but just shrugged.
I smelt the distinct smell of Dimitri's aftershave and that is also when I noticed that it was his name next to me, Tasha on his other side. I felt like I was going to be sick. They both sat in their allocated seats, but I kept my eyes on Adrian and he kept his on me.
"So Rose, I was wondering if, when we get back to the academy, you could help me with something," Eddie said, talking into the tense air surrounding me.
I smiled. "And what might that be Eddie?" I could feel Dimitri's eyes on me, but I kept mine locked on Eddie.
Eddie had to think now, so I thought I would try cheering myself up, at his expense. "Are you still having...trouble?" I asked and Eddie's eyes widened, Mia wore a smirk and Adrian, Christian and Lissa were trying not to laugh.
"I don't know what you mean Rose." Eddie said, embarrassed.
"Eddie there is no need to be shy about cumming prematurely," Adrian started chuckling so I pulled him into this. "It happens to Adrian all the time," Adrian immediately stopped laughing and looked at me in shock. Eddie was trying not to laugh, while Lissa and Christian kept 'coughing' into their hands. I didn't spare a glance to see what Dimitri and Tasha were doing, but I imagined there was a very pissed off Russian next to me.
I had successfully distracted myself, for about ten seconds.
"Rose you have to be my partner!" Christian yelled at me and I blinked. What the fuck is he going on about?
"Christian we already played that game," I said.
"That's not what I mean," he winked at me and Adrian growled a little while Lissa smacked his arm. "I mean for culinary science!"
"Uhhh...why?"
"Because the last day of your field experience is the day of the big cook off!" He yelled excitedly.
I burst out laughing and actually banged my head on the table. "Ow," I complained, rubbing my forehead, Adrian leaned over and kissed my forehead.
"Better?" he asked when he sat back down.
"Yes," and then I added. "My lips are sore too." I smiled and winked at him.
Adrian grinned and leaned towards me about to kiss my lips when that bitch spoke up.
"Dimitri, I was thinking that we should go to Baia, see your family, would you like that?" it was obvious she didn't just want Dimitri's attention.
Adrian groaned and I winced. It still hurt to hear his name, even though he was right next to me.
"That would be..." Dimitri trailed off and I nearly burst into tears at hearing his voice. Then I noticed why he had trailed off. Christian was standing behind my chair, hand outstretched.
"Come on hot stuff, let's dance." He said smiling at me. I was so grateful that he was taking me away from this table.
"Sure thing Sparky," I said back as Christian took my hand. This dance was one where you switched partners and I suppressed a groan of annoyance when I saw all the freaky old men eyeing me.
I danced with Christian and was over the moon with joy when my next partner turned out to be Eddie.
"Thank god," I whispered and he chuckled.
Next was Adrian and I saw him glaring at all the other men who wanted a piece of me. I kissed his lips, bringing his attention back to me. He smiled and then we switched again, and this time I was a whole mess of emotions. I was dancing with Dimitri Belikov.
"You look beyond beautiful tonight Rose," He said, his Russian accent lacing his words. God how I missed that, how I missed him!
"Thank you," I smiled sweetly at him, this might be my last night with him and there was no way was I ruining it by letting bitch Rose take over!
Dimitri looked surprised at my sudden change of attitude. He also looked saddened.
I realised that people had switched partners again, but I didn't care and evidently neither did Dimitri. My arms were around his neck and his were around my hips, his hands resting on my lower back.
"Rose, I think we should talk," Dimitri said after a little moment of silence. I nodded and looked for my friends, they were all sitting back at the table, shooting daggers at Dimitri.
I tried something that Lissa and I had been practising hoping that it worked. Liss can you hear me?
Her head picked up and she nodded. I hear you Rose, are you okay? Do you need Christian to come over and burn his ass?
I smiled but shook my head, she looked confused. I have to talk to him Liss, okay? Just let them know that if they ask.
What about Adrian? She asked, looking at him as did I. He was looking straight at me.
Liss please, I need to speak to him, please tell them—him—that and I'll be back soon.
She nodded, reluctantly and I turned back to Dimitri who was staring down at me.
"Okay, lead the way," He nodded and took my wrist leading me outside. In that touch an electric spark flew up my arm, just like it always did when he touched me. I turned to see Eddie with his hand gripping Adrian's upper arm, physically restraining him from coming after me. He saw me looking at him and I pleaded with my eyes for him to understand that this needed to be done, he looked hurt but nodded and slumped his shoulders.
We arrived outside and Dimitri pulled me down some stairs to a secluded spot. He stepped so he was a few steps away from me and then turned to look at me.
"Dimitri...?" I didn't know what to think or feel.
"Rose, I, I'm sorry," He said, looking really sad.
Okay and cue angry Rose. "You're sorry?! Sorry for what exactly guardian Belikov, huh? For leaving Lissa, for telling me I ruined your life, for me falling in love with you, for leaving me, or for me still being in love with you? Take your pick." I was standing right in front of him, poking his chest.
Dimitri looked down at me and my breathing hitched. Fuck how I loved this man! My mind said just as Dimitri was leaning down and I was leaning forward.
Our lips met, for the first time since he had lost control in the gym before the Ski trip. I felt a whole jolt go through me. I lifted my arms and tangled my fingers in his hair, while Dimitri wrapped his arms around my waist pressing me into him. How had I survived three weeks without him?
Slap!
Reality hit. Three weeks he was gone, no word since then and now I was making out with him. Wait just a god damned mother fucking minute. I pushed myself back from Dimitri and stepped out of his reach.
"Roza, what is it?" He asked softly.
"I told you never to call me that!" I yelled at him. "How, how dare you! Three weeks, you left three weeks ago and now you expect me to come running?! I don't fucking think so! You are with Tasha now, you can't have it both ways. And I'm with Adrian now, he makes me happy so please refrain from touching me again." And with that I walked back into the ball room.
The Queen was due to arrive in ten minutes and then we would eat. My friends were still at the table—with scarred hag bitch!—and I walked up and sat in my seat. I looked at Adrian and his eyes zeroed in on my lips, no doubt showing what I had just been doing. He growled and I placed my index finger and thumb under his chin, lifting his gaze to my eyes. He wouldn't meet my gaze, obviously feeling betrayed.
"Adrian, I'm sorry, please look at me," he still refused to meet my gaze. I moved my chair closer to him so that I was directly in front of him. I took both of his hands in mine. "Adrian, please, I didn't mean for it to happen, I couldn't, I just, please look at me, please," I didn't want to hurt him, sure I wasn't in love with him but on some level I did love him, and care for him more than I'd like to admit. I moved forward and placed my forehead against his. "Adrian, please, I can't stand you being mad at me," he finally met my gaze and I saw the love, saw the pain, saw the sadness and the hurt.
"Rose, just tell me the truth," I nodded and he continued. "Did you kiss him back?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Who kissed who first?" Adrian was trying to keep his voice calm, but I could hear the underlying pain.
"We both leaned in at the same time," I was going to be honest with him, he deserved it.
"Did it go beyond kissing?"
"No, and there was no open mouth, no tongue, I promise you,"
Adrian sighed. "I understand Rose, he was your first love and you still love him, I guess it was to be expected if you ever saw him again that you wouldn't want me anymore," He sounded so sad.
"Adrian, what are you talking about?" I was really confused.
"You are going back to him, aren't you?" He looked straight into my eyes to see if I was lying.
I shook my head. "No, I told him—well screamed it at him—that he made his choice and I have made mine,"
He smiled. "That's my angel,"
I smiled back and kissed his cheek. "That's my Adrian,"
I heard the seat next to me being pulled out and someone with very distinct aftershave sat there. I didn't look in his direction, I kept my eyes focused on Adrian, who was glaring at him.
I turned around so I was now facing Eddie, or the seat Eddie would be sitting in if Mia, Christian, Lissa and him weren't dancing. Then I realised that Tasha was across the room. Aw shit! Something was going to happen, I could feel it.
And sure enough Adrian proves my point. "So my angel, will you stay in my room tonight or would you like me to stay in yours again, perhaps watch more of your favourite movies?" He look at me innocently, but I could see the amusement in his eyes.
"I don't know, let me think about it. When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow at 8 p.m." Adrian answered me.
"Okay, what can we do tomorrow then, if you wanted to spend the day with me?" I asked.
Adrian smiled. "Well angel, why don't I take you shopping, you can get whatever you want,"
"What I want is a drink, would you mind getting me one sweetheart? Please?" I fluttered my eyelashes at him innocently.
"Of course angel, anything in particular?" I could tell he didn't want to leave me alone.
"Something that will keep me up all night," I winked at him and he grinned slyly and then got up kissing me on the forehead before walking to the bar.
I didn't turn toward Dimitri and I didn't react when I felt him put something on my lap, I just looked down at it. It was a note and a pen.
I'm sorry about before, I shouldn't have kissed you
I wrote back.
No, you shouldn't have and it won't happen again
He read it and I saw the sadness there on his face and then he wrote something and passed it back to me.
Rose, I'm sorry I left you, please forgive me I thought I was saving you from pain not causing it
I wrote back.
You made your choice, live with it.
Adrian came back then with a red drink and he assured me it was non alcoholic. I felt Dimitri place the note back on my lap. I looked down at my lap and read the note, looking inconspicuous to Adrian.
I made the wrong choice.
My breath caught.
Oh I'm not that mean hehe just trying to freak you all out, this isn't the end ha-ha sorry...
After the note everything began blurring together, the Queen arrived, we stood. Food arrived, we ate. Dancing continued we danced.
When Lissa was called up to stage I tried concentrating but it was hard, since I was now holding Dimitri's hand under the table. How did that happen?
"I present Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, the last in her line and on the eve of her 21st birthday, you will be the new Queen of the Moroi. Do you accept this?" The Queen asked, standing before Lissa in a dress that looked like it was just a potato bag dyed blue.
Lissa looked straight at me and through the bond asked me if I really believed she should do this. I smiled and nodded.
"I accept this honour and swear to serve my people in the best way I can," Lissa recited. The Queen smiled and placed a kiss on Lissa's forehead.
"I present to you, Future Queen Vasilisa Dragomir." The Queen faced us and there was an eruption of applause. I slid my hand out of Dimitri's so I could clap and concentrate.
Shit, what am I going to do?
After Dimitri had gave me the note saying he made the wrong choice I had looked at him, studying him, trying to see if he was lying. He wasn't. And when Tasha came back and took his hand on top of the table, he pulled it away and stood up as the Queen was arriving and then when we sat back down, he had a fork in his left hand and a certain dhampir girls hand in his right. I didn't pull back and I saw the corner of Dimitri's mouth pull up.
We were getting ready to part ways, Tasha promising to take Lissa and Christian to lunch, I laughed at Lissa's reaction in her head. I was turning to say goodnight to Dimitri when I saw he was...preoccupied. With Tasha's tongue. Son of a bitch!
"Ready to go Angel?" Adrian asked from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my cheek. Dimitri and Tasha had separated now, but I was disgusted. I glared at him and saw the pain in his eyes. It better hurt ass wipe. I thought before turning back to Adrian and kissing him passionately.
"You bet your ass I'm ready," and then I took his hand and dragged him to my room.
"Well someone's in a hurry," Adrian said as I shut the door.
"Shut up and kiss me," I said and he wrapped his arms around my waist his tongue meeting mine. I groaned. I really needed this, this release, a release that only Adrian could give me.
We ended up collapsing on the floor, entangled together. I didn't know how it happened but I was suddenly only wearing the lingerie piece Adrian got me and he was wearing boxers.
Adrian kissed down my chest, his tongue licking along my collarbone. Fuck that felt good!
"Adrian..." I moaned.
"Angel?" He asked teasing me skin by grazing the tender area where my shoulder met my neck with his teeth.
"You're such a tease, and if it wasn't such a turn on you wouldn't be here right now,"
He smirked. "As if you could ever hurt me angel,"
He really shouldn't have said that.
"No," I pushed him off of me and stood up, putting distance in between us.
"Angel, what is it?" He was concerned.
"I can't not after..." I trailed off. Adrian understood and wrapped a comforting arm around me.
"I understand my angel, no nookie tonight." He stated and I laughed.
"Did you honestly just say nookie?" He smiled and kissed my lips, and then someone knocked on the door three impatient times.
"I'll get it," I said against his lips.
"We both will," Adrian wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and we walked to the door. I opened it and looked up.
Into the heart broken eyes of Dimitri Belikov.
Whoop!
Another one done, I'm on a role!
Hey I'm thinking of starting a Mortal Instruments Fanfic and I already have an idea for my next VA one since you all decided that you wanted that one next.
I'm going to delete my other Fanfic for TMI and maybe start it again or I'll just put it on hiatus for a while. I dunno.
So, what's going to happen?
Well I'll give you a hint. Look up the lyrics to Un-break my heart by Toni Braxton (which is the song for the next chapter) and that will hint you(:
I will no longer post lyrics at the end of chapters, it gets annoying, so yeah...
Review!!
