Thanks for the reviews, I loved them all:) Yes, Dimitri is annoying, I know:) lol, so here's another chapter, it isn't quite as important, but still, :)

This isn't right.

So another day starts, which means last night, I lost all of my friends but Adrian, who won't answer the phone. I hated this feeling, I hated being all alone. The worst part was I was going to have to face Seth and Dimitri today, at some point. I already knew what I was going to do to Seth at practice, but the one class I had him in would be awkward, and annoying. But that was my life lately.

My first couple classes went by without problem, and so did the rest of them before lunch. It was just the one class I had after lunch. Seth was there, and sat right beside me.

"Fuck off, Seth." I said when he smiled.

"So, was that your old mentor that you won't talk about? Is he the one that's made you all depressed?" I shot Seth the worst look I could manage, and his smile quickly disappeared.

"Do not kid with me about him, Seth. I promise I will kill you. You already need to sleep with one eye open."

Seth didn't kid anymore, but kept on talking to me. "So since he's back for good, is he going to be your mentor again?"

Oh hell. I hadn't thought of that. What if he was? What if for the rest of the year, I had to train with the one guy, who started it all? What about Seth? he wasn't going to train with us, I would make sure of that. But really? I couldn't focus on anything else. I wondered if it would be a good or a bad thing, too. Because I would get to spend every day with him - I would start training in the morning, and we would have the afternoon. Eventually we would work things out, and then things could be perfect. But on the other hand, I could just go crazier and crazier, and drive him away again, and then i know I would die, seriously. So as Seth looked at me funny, I thought about it.

"Uh, Rose? What is wrong with you?" He asked, now with an attitude.

"You bastard. You are seriously asking me that? I really hate you, you know. I can't believe you did that yesterday, and now you're asking me whats wrong. Go to hell."

The whole class had heard me, and i was being stared at by everyone, so I just got up and left.

"Rose, get back in here!" the teacher called. I kept on walking. Class was almost over anyways. Not like that mattered. Would I train with Dimitri again? That's what mattered.

I closed my eyes and walked into the gym, and ran into the dressing room before I could see if Dimitri was in there. I got dressed, and once again walked back out into the gym, which was cold, and it felt so empty. I sighed, of relaxation or because I was pissed, I didn't know. So I waited for Seth to get here. i wasn't even going to stretch. This practice would be over with in a second. I did pull out the mat, and when he came in, he gave me a weird look.

"You want a replay of yesterday?" he asked. I smiled, and motioned him to come here.

"I need to change, and stretch..." He said, curious.

"Nah, don't worry about it. Practice is really quick today, I just need to show you something. I'm only dressed because..." because i wanted Dimitri to walk in? Yes, but I wouldn't admit it to myself.

"Ok..." Seth said as he walked towards me. I walked up to him, got really close, waited him to smile, and then socked him right in the nose once, it cracked, and then the eye. I was hoping that it would be all nasty and black by tomorrow. But in the meantime, his nose was gushing blood, and he was holding his whole face.

"You bitch!" he shouted at me.

I just started grabbing all of my stuff.

"Hold on." I stiffened. That wasn't Seth who said that.

I turned around, and there Dimitri was. He had on his workout clothes, and was looking at Seth with a glint of humor in his eyes.

"Although I'm sorry for your...misfortune...Seth, but I have to ask you to leave. Go to Kirova, she will work you're schedule out for you. I'm sure you were a pleasure for Rose to teach."

An opened mouthed seth Stormed out of the room, holding his nose and grunting with pain. I was glad he was gone, but worried about Dimitri.

"What was that about?" i asked him in barely a whisper.

"You guys aren't training anymore. I'm back, remember?" He asked while starting to stretch a little.

Of course I remember. How could I forget? I didn't know what to do, and what I wanted to do was go outside, scream, then sit down and cry. But that wasn't really an option. "So you're just picking up from where you left off?" I asked him, also starting my lessons.

"Is that a problem?" He asked me. I thought for a second.

"No, I was just wondering. What about...Seth?" I spat out his name.

"I think his old school wants him back, and personally we don't want him. So he'll probably make another transfer." Well, I guess that was good. i hadn't really gotten close to him, and I always felt like his babysitter, and at this point I wouldn't miss him, so maybe that won't be a problem.

"Oh." We had finished stretching, and since the mats were out Dimitri walked on them and told me to come on, that we were going to fight. I hesitated. No, I completely stopped in my tracks. I was afraid to get close to him. Not because I thought he was going to kiss ( or rape) me, but because I didn't know what to do. Normally, I would have smiled, and jumped on this chance to face off. But now...i felt like i didn't belong here with him. Thisng had gotten too messed up.

"Are you coming?" He asked. I still didn't move, mostly because it didn't register that I should.

"Rose, don't be afraid. I'm not going to try anything, I just want to see if you kept yourself working. We'll lift weights and run the rest of the week if you want, or I could show you new moves, but don't do this. It pains me to see that you don't want to do this." he wasn't getting on to me. he was begging me, his tone of voice proved it. I felt so bad, because this man was my best friend. My mentor. My lover. Yeah, he left me, and caused me hell, but this was practice- practice for fighting Strigoi, and I was going to have to do that when I guarded Lissa. Sure, I already know how, but any extra help is nice. I shouldn't worry about any personal problems when it comes to training. But to me, this was more than personal.

"Dimitri, I don't feel like I belong here with you. I feel like we should be ignoring eachother. It just doesn't feel like it used to." I didn't mean to tell him so much of the truth, but it just slipped out. Dimitri gave me a sad smile.

"I know it don't and thats my fault. But I still want us to train, and I want to trust me enough to feel comfortable with this, if only this. I doubt it will ever be the same, but you have to learn how to do your job, and I would like to continue teaching you." he was still begging, but he knew that he was winning. I mumbled fine, and walked up to him on the matt. We both got in the same stance. I have to admit that it felt good to be working the way I usually do, using Dimitri's moves. And if I pretended that Dimitri had never left, then practice could work.

We matched each other, blow by blow. No surprise. It felt so good to be doing this with Dimitri again, but so wrong. I wasn't supposed to give up this easy, and he wasn't supposed to be here. It was too different. But for the first time since he left, I let myself enjoy something a little, and he did too I think. By then end of the fight, we were both laughing, and when we stopped fighting, my gut twisted, and my heart hurt. I suddenly stopped laughing, picked up all of my stuff, and then ran out as fast as I can. I heard him sigh and whisper my name before the door shut.

I hadn't realized how much I missed him. I had never realized how important our practices use to be. But now, all I could think about were memories we had made. At practice, out of practice, any where we were together, it all came back. I really didn't know what I had until he left. And its all at my finger tips, its so close. But my heart just won't let me grab it. I want it so bad, but I'm sealed off, and this love is just too hard.

I had no earthly idea on what to do.

Hmm, this chapter shows you how confused Rose really is about everything. And this isn't the end of Seth just yet, so don't freak out for those of you who like him. I am going to try to get another chapter up today, and I really want R&D together soon, but I have to make it a good story:) I love you guys so much, and thank you for reviewing, :) don't forget to review this chapter!(:
