Chapter 9

Dear Diary

I heard the sniffles and cries on the other end of the phone. I would know those tears anywhere. They were tears I had caused. Tears that haunted my mind. Tears could never forget. As I sat up in bed I clutched the phone not believing this was happening. I held back the tears that stung my eyes as I spoke softly.

"Roza?" I said into the phone. I heard her breathing becoming more labored as I said her name. She missed me. I knew it. That's why she called. As I heard her voice the loneliness shone through.

"Dimitri," she said simply. She said it as if she just wanted a reason to say my name. I wondered how long it had been since she had said it.

"Rose please…." I couldn't say more than that. The tears burned in the back of my throat and threatened to sting my eyes. I missed her so much. Then as if answering my prayers and hopes I heard her voice sounding small and innocent.

"I miss you so much," she said softly. A small smile crosses my mouth. I was beginning to think I would never hear her say that again.

"I miss you too. Please, I don't want to be apart anymore," I said. I heard her sniffle.

"I'm at Lissa's apartment," she said and then she hung up. She had begun to choke up. And I knew she hung up because she was going to cry harder. I needed to save her. It had been over a moth since the kiss with Tasha. And whether Rose had forgiven me or not yet was a different subject. But I knew I had to get to her.

I quickly put on my shoes and duster and I ran out of our apartment like a bat out of hell. I ran out to Lissa's apartment. When I got there I knocked on the door. I knew Lissa and Christian would be asleep so I knocked softly hoping Rose was nearby and could hear me. And I was right.

As Rose opened the door she was wearing another one of my shirts that was too big for her. Her face was tear streaked. I felt so guilty knowing I was the cause of her tears. But in that one moment I didn't know what to do. I just stood there. She had called me here. So I knew she would know what she wanted.

As I stood there she looked up into my eyes. She slowly reached her hand up and laid it on my cheek. I felt my breathing become fast. She stroked her thumb over my cheek as tears fell from her eyes.

"Please don't cry Roza," I said in a soft voice. Her lip was trembling as she held my cheek. She laid her other hand on my chest. I couldn't help but speak.

"Rose, please. I miss you so much. Living my life without you is hell. I can't stand one more night without you in my arms. Please my love. Come home," I said as a tear fell down my cheek. She stepped closer and wrapped her arms tight around my neck and held me close. I hugged her tight and buried my face into her hair and heard her whisper.

"You are my home."
