It was cliche but I didn't come out of my room in days, crying my eyes out.

How could he do this to me? Was all I asked myself, all I thought.

At one point Dimitri got tired of coming every day, staying outside my door for hours with out a response.

He knocked the door down, making me jump out of my skin, had I been able to, but I was weak. Days without eating did that to you, I guess. My dad was pissed off, because Dimitri knocked the door down, because of what he had done... or mad at me.

Which one was it?

And who cares?

My mother was worried, bags under her eyes, tears in her eyes. Eddie looked the same but worse.

He was feeling my pain.

Lissa and Andre were there too, a look of relief in their faces.

Their jade eyes shining with tears. Dimitri rushed to my sides.

He growled when he saw me, luckily I had taken a shower and brushed my teeth today.

He brushed a strand of hair away.

"What did you do?" he muttered. New tears falling, hitting me in the face.

"Nothing, Comrade. The question is, what did you do?" my voice was raspy. I never used the 'comrade' unless I was angry, the first time I used it being after he stole my basketball, back when we were younger.

He buried his face in my hair, muttering something in Russian.

He picked me up bridal style, "I'm taking you to the hospital. It's been days."

I was surprised it had taken them that long to knock my door down.

"When do you leave?" he didn't answer right away, and looked away from me.

"In a week."

"Do you have to leave?" I asked once more. I had been dismissed from the hospital if I promised I would eat.

I didn't promise I would, Dimitri did.

"Yes."

I pouted.

"Why?" tears threatened to come out, but I kept them in. I'd done enough crying.

"So I can graduate, get a good job, and get you the rich life you deserve."

Our arms where linked, I was still pretty weak and needed his help.

His tone implied I was crazy for asking.

"I don't care about the money," I repeated.

"That's what you say now," he answered.

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever."

He brought up together, giving me a kiss that made me even more weak.

We only had today together before he left.

Before Dimitri left me and made his dreams com true.
