Thank you guys so much for all the reviews. Each and every one of them made me smile. :] As promised, here is Christian's POV. I wanted to go inside his head and show that he really isn't a monster- just confused and sad. The next chapter will be more Dimitri and Rose, I promise. But for now, enjoy! (and review once your done.)

Christian's POV:

It took all my willpower to leave Lissa crying in our room like I had. Hurting the one person I loved more than anything else was the hardest thing I had ever done. But the image imprinted into my mind increased my willpower to keep moving. Lissa and Adrian had been lying on the floor, together- holding hands, laughing. If I hadn't known better, I would have said they were a couple- that's right. I hadn't known better. They were together. Lissa had cheated on me and like the fool I was, I had believed that she was "just friends" with Adrian. I had been such an idiot.

Tears streamed down my face and I didn't even bother trying to hold them back. What did it matter anyway? I had already lost the two most important people in my life- Lissa had betrayed me and Tasha was gone. God, I missed her so much.

"Hey, Ozera, you okay?"

I looked up, scowling when I recognized that arrogant, pompous voice. Adrian smiled sympathetically at me, "I heard about what happened to Tasha."

Anger suddenly boiled up inside of me and I had to clench my fists to keep from punching his face. He seemed to notice and smiled. "You're not still mad about Lissa are you?"

The mention of her name made me lose all the control I had. I punched him squarely in the jaw. He rubbed his face gingerly, but made no move to fight back. "Well," he said after a moment, "I guess so. But seriously man, it wasn't like that. I love Lissa like a sister- nothing more. And that girl is crazy about you. She wouldn't even look at another guy with you around."

I shook my head vehemently, my anger gone. All that was left was sadness. "That's not what it looked like."

Adrian's voice rose to match mine. "What did it look like then? Two friends lying on the floor laughing. When she came to me today, she was so upset. She didn't want to lay any more of her troubles on you. And I helped her with her powers. That's all." He chuckled humorlessly and shook his head, "Lissa is an amazing girl and she loves you so much. You're damn stupid to throw that away over nothing."

His words hit me like a slap in the face. He was right- Lissa was the kindest, smartest, most wonderful girl I knew. She would never cheat on me. My mind flitted back to Lissa's tear-stained face in our room. God, what had I done?

Review, review, review!!! It only takes a few seconds and it makes my day.
