Chapter 11

Adrianna POV

Christmas break had started a couple of days ago and dad had been at his worst, Nikolaus must have gone to the other teachers and word got to dad about the rumour so since coming home dad had been on my case about if any of it was true or if I had any idea who started the rumour.

"Rose are you even listening to me?" I had stopped pacing and looked at Rose.

She had the day off and I had taken refuge in their house away from dad but she was sitting in their office doing paperwork not even listening to me.

"Dri I have so many reports to go over" she didn't even look up at me, she just continued to read the reports in front of her.

"Why can't you talk to dad? He's being insufferable about this"

"Because there's nothing to be done, I know what it's like having rumour likes these out and it deserves to be dealt with"

"Then why can't dad leave me alone, Spence hasn't done that once he hasn't even pushed or asked or even brought the stupid topic up"

"Are you or are you not having sex with Spencer Dri?" Rose finally looked up at me and I was confused, she was the one I went to when I was confused and unsure about if I wanted to have sex with Spence.

"You know this"

"I meant of lately"

She spoke and I was quiet at first, I was honestly wondering what she was getting at. "No but he said he only just found out about the rumour"

"It doesn't matter if he only just heard it, chances are there might have been another reason why he stopped having sex but then he heard the rumour. Dri he is a Moroi and him feeding is something he thinks of all the time, if he didn't think about doing that with you before the rumour chances are he is now"

"You're insane, what the hell would you know!" I yelled at Rose before turning around storming out of her house slamming every door in my path.

I ended up making my way to the gym that was housed at Court for the Guardians that lived there or even visited, I ended up making my way over to the punching bags but I stopped myself before I had even made the first punch and remembered to strap my hands.

"Why do I keeping finding you in this same situation?" I heard the voice but paid no attention to it until the incredibly good looking Greek himself was visible in my vision and I stopped punching the bag and leaned against it.

"Why do I have to have such a shitty senior year?"

"I think you're doing really well, you've only got one rumour going around and you've only been busted for what is it, 5 parties?" he had a smirk on his face

"4, I wasn't at the party after the dance" I remember the aftermath of that party, Damon wasn't too pleased.

"Ah yes, I believe both you and Bri weren't there. Tanner and myself were shocked at this news and Todd was disappointed to hear he was dealing with Damon's punishment by himself"

"I bet he was, Damon was annoyed he was alone in that" I finally had a smile on my face and he gave one back.

"Come on, come spar with me. I find sparring helps better than a bag"

"Wait is this you telling me that the big scary Greek Guardian has anger issues" I pretended to be shocked and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"I think anyone who is a decent Guardian has anger issues"

"Sure you do, I just think you have anger issues. I've seen you slip a couple of times" I smirked at him and he stepped closer to me

"You don't know anything Dri" he growled but I just grinned at him

"I believe this is you slipping" I walked away from him and stood on the mats and looked at him as if to ask if it's still what he wanted.

He walked closer to me but didn't even say anything at first or make a move to make me think we were sparring. "How did you realise I had anger issues?" he spoke softly

"I grew up at Court around people that seem to think Guardians stick to the background but being me and technically being a royal I was accepted at some events, I begun people watching since I always had to be quiet. I picked up on a few things, I believe if my life was different and dad didn't find me I would have loved to be a psychologist or even a behavioural analyst but my life is what it is"

"That still doesn't tell me how you worked it out with me?"

"Watching you and seeing how you react to certain things, especially when I'm in trouble. Even when we were in Melbourne there were a few things I noticed, if I all of a sudden ran off to have a look at something you would get annoyed and then there was the whole Nicky incident"

"Very well, come on do you still want to spar?" I nodded and we both positioned ourselves before starting off.

I landed on my back with a thud and it was only a second later Nikolaus came down on top of me, "Owe"

"Sorry, I didn't mean for it to hurt that much"

"No you're just annoyed I worked you out" I grinned at him, hoping he would realise I was messing with him, I knew he wasn't annoyed.

"Oh really? You don't think I haven't got you worked out?"

"Only if you get up first" I spoke noticing the longer we were in the situation the more awkward I felt.

"Oh right sorry" he stood up and held a hand out for me to help me up.

"So you've got me worked out have you?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he smirked at me before taking a sip of water from his bottle.

"Very well, even though you are the top of the senior class and could just as easily defend yourself, it is when things go wrong and they don't fit in with how you want your life to be you break and spiral. Even today you were distracted but it's not just that. You rely heavily on Henderson and Grayson, they're fiercely protective of you and you the same with them. It doesn't matter how much you argue with your dad, your family means everything to you and even though you won't admit it Hathaway and Belikov are your role models, you wish to be exactly like them. You want to be an accomplished and respected Guardian like them"

I looked at him not sure what to think of this information, I honestly didn't believe he had worked it out. I shook my head looking down at the bottle in my hands

"You wanted to know Dri"

I looked up at him and gave him a smile, "I know its fine I'm just shocked"

"Look I have to head off and shower before I head to the airport, you are going be alright aren't you?"

"I will be fine if it not there is always the punching bag, where are you going?"

"Just don't forget to strap them next time" he gave me a smile before he went to leave the gym and I couldn't help but notice that he completely ignored my question about where he was going.

I went back to the punching bag but was only able to get a couple of punches in before I heard the familiar Russian accent speaking Russian, there were days where I wished more than anything that I had the patience to learn Russian like right now when I wanted to know what he said but other times I didn't care.

My shoulders dropped and I leaned forward to rest my head against the punching bag, "what are you doing here Dimitri? Come to tell me I should end things with Spencer as well?" I snapped at him

I heard Dimitri take in a breath and I turned to face him, I noticed his mouth open but I cut him off first. "Don't speak in Russian, it can't always work when you want to have a rational conversation with me"

"I wasn't going too, I didn't even know that Adrian tried to convince you to end things with Hasting"

"Don't start on that, I know you hate the fact that I'm dating him"

"No I hate that you're dating in general, I've met him enough times to know he treats you just fine but Dri if this rumour has anything to it that is true you deserve better than that"

"It's not true, I was completely shocked by it all and now all my friends are concerned I'm going to spiral out of control again"

"I know and we're worried as well but surely you know that this all very similar to last time and me finding you here in the gym isn't a good sign"

"It's not similar, I was perfectly fine until the rumour came out"

"Very well" the Dimitri spoke it made me wonder if he believed me or not

"Can we spar?"

"Dri…" he warned me and I didn't like it, I hated that everyone was walking on eggshells because they were worried I was going to spiral again.

"Please, I promise I'm fine I just need to let out the anger I have. I have no idea who started this rumour and it's bugging me and I know no idea what I'm going back to one Christmas break is over"

"I can't stand here and watch you run yourself into the ground" Dimitri said sternly and I knew then and there he won't spar with me and I wouldn't be surprised if he forced me home or even convinced the other Guardians to not let me step foot in here again.

"Fine" I turned back to the punching bag with the idea of starting up again but a hand grabbed my wrist.

"You're going home Adrianna" he growled at me and that along with me full name knew I was in trouble and if I didn't go willingly I would be dragged there.

I nodded at him before walking over and grabbing my water bottle and jacket to keep myself warm as I left the gym to head home hoping dad had calmed down at all and dropped the idea of Spence being the cause behind everything.

When I made it home Matt instantly came up to me and eyed me curiously, I raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing Matty?" I spoke quietly and he frowned at the nickname but didn't say anything.

"I heard a rumour but you've been at the gym and aren't wearing make-up"

"You heard that I was letting Spence feed of me?" Matt nodded. "It's not true, someone started it. Does Nate know?" I was surprised it had made it to the middle campus, normally rumours like this just stick to the intended campus but guess the rumour being about me made its way down to the middle campus.

"No I overheard some of the girls talking about it before we left and they stopped before Nate heard them" maybe it didn't reach the middle campus and it was senior campus girls talking, I wanted to know more from Matt but I knew he wouldn't want to talk about this.

"Good, it should stay that way"

"I won't tell him but if he over hears it I can't stop it"

"I know Matty, where's dad?"

"No idea, Shane is watching me" Matt shrugged

"Where's Nate?"

"Out with mum, he needed some new clothes"

"Fair enough"

"Come play video games with me?" he pleaded with me and I could tell it was more out of boredom, ever since I smashed the T.V he doesn't like to always play with me.

"Only until Nate gets home"

"I can deal with that" he had a huge smile on his face and I followed him towards the living room. Shane didn't anything as I sat down, just nodded at me.
