Friday night I was lying on my couch grading papers. Roza went to a party at Adrian Ivashkov's house, and I hadn't heard from her all night, and was beginning to worry. I knew there would be alcohol, but I had hoped she wouldn't participate in that part as much as the others. I sat up and ran a finger through my long hair. She had Lissa and her older brother, right? I mean they'd take care of her, right? I hoped so. I set the papers down on my coffee table and went to my bathroom to take a shower. I let the hot water wash away my worries, and then climbed into bed. I fell asleep quickly, dreaming sweetly about my love.

I woke with a start when the loud buzzing of my phone sounded. I looked at the screen and shot up when I saw Rose's name on the screen. "Roza?" I asked, my voice still husky from sleep.

"No, it's Lissa. What's your address? We need your help with Rose and we can't take her to her parents like this." She exclaimed. She sounded panicked and fear twisted in my gut.

"What's wrong? Is she okay?" I asked. I stood and paced the floor in front of my bed.

"We'll explain later. Just please give us your address!" I gave her my address and not even five minutes later there was a knock at the door, Lissa and Christian stood there, Rose unconscious in his arms. I took her from his arms and laid her on the couch.

"What happened?" I asked.

Lissa had tears in her eyes and Christian rubbed her back comfortingly. "Lissa said that she hadn't seen Rose in a long time, and was worried. We waited another five minutes for her to come back and she never did. Andre and I went around the whole yard looking for her, while Lissa searched inside. Well, we rounded a corner, and saw a huge man holding Rose against him choking her." My eyes widened, and I grabbed Rose's hand in mine. My heart was thumping so fast I could barely hear what he was telling me. "I asked him what he was doing, and he let go and dropped her. I ran after him to try and catch him, and Andre went to her. I didn't see their faces but I got their license plate number." He handed me a piece of paper with the license number on it.

Lissa sat up and spoke. "What do we do? I didn't want to take her to her parents because I didn't want to get her in trouble, so you were the only other person I could think of." She sniffled.

"No, Lissa, you did just fine. You both did very well in this situation. I'm glad you got the license plate, Christian. You both did very well." Then something struck me. "Wait…so, you know?" I asked him. He nodded and Lissa looked down guiltily.

"I'm sorry! I just didn't know what to do, and I panicked! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ruin your relationship or your job." She was full on crying now.

"Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm not mad Lissa. I'm proud of you." I assured her.

"Really?" she wiped her eyes and I gave her a small smile.

"Yes." She returned the smile.

"So… what now?" Christian asked.

"She's supposed to be staying at my house." Lissa told him.

"Can she just stay here?" Christian asked me.

"Yes, I think that would be best." I said, and looked at Rose. It broke my heart to see her going through so much. "There's a good chance she'll wake suddenly and think she's still being choked. It would be best for her to be here. I'll call the police and report them in the morning." I said, and they nodded and stood up.

"Okay. Call us if anything happens." Lissa said and I nodded. I opened the door for them and they went out.

"Hey, Christian!" I called, and he turned. I motioned for him to come and he walked over. He had a tired look on his face and I know tonight freaked him out more than he would care to admit. "You won't tell anyone, will you?" I asked, feeling slightly ashamed.

"No." I breathed a sigh of relief. "But," I stopped, and held my breath. "if you hurt her I'll make sure you no longer have a reason to be here." He threatened, and I knew he would keep good on that promise.

"I won't ever hurt her. I love her." I told him, and he smiled a little and nodded. He turned and walked back to Lissa who was waiting at the stairs. He put his arm around her waist and led her down the stairs. He and Rose argued a lot, but I knew that they loved each other like a brother and sister. They'd never say it aloud, though. But they would do anything for one another. I shut and locked the door and returned to Rose. I looked at her in her skin tight black dress and sighed. I picked her up and carried her to my room. I picked out some of my boxers and a tee shirt she could sleep in, and put her in them. It was dark in my room, so I didn't see anything, which I was glad for. I wanted that time to be special. I laid her under the covers and kissed her forehead. I laid next to her, and fell asleep quickly.

I sat up and screamed. He couldn't just take me away without me putting up a fight.

"Let me go! Help!" I screamed.

"Roza, Roza. Shh. It's okay love. You're with me now. You're safe, milaya." A soft voice spoke.

My heartbeat slowed, and I looked up at the face of the person who was gently rocking me in his arms. "H-how did I get here?" I asked, and looked around. It was dark, but I recognized Dimitri's room.

"I'll explain in the morning. Just get some sleep." He said, and laid back down. I scooted over to him and cuddled into his side.

"Thank you for being with me." I whispered. He kissed the top of my head.

"I will always be with you." He whispered back.

"I love you." I said and yawned, and the last thing I heard was him telling me he loved me too.

I woke up the next morning to Dimitri's arms wrapped around my waist. I looked down and saw I was in his clothes. He undressed me? I mean, I don't mind, but I would have at least liked to be awake for it. I turned and kissed his nose, and his long lashed fluttered and his eyes opened.

"Good morning beautiful." He said, his voice husky from sleep. That was so hot.

I grinned. "Good morning." the hangover I should have woken up with hit me suddenly, and I groaned. Dimitri laughed, and I glared at him.

"That's what you get for drinking underage Roza." He chuckled and went into his bathroom and opened his cabinet, looking for something.

"So you the hangovers get better when you grow up?" I asked hopefully.

"Unfortunately, no. But that's what these are for". He handed me two pills and a glass of water, and I graciously accepted.

We got up and he made breakfast, and within the hour my headache subsided. He called the police and reported the license plate number, saying they were driving recklessly and almost drove him off the road. I smirked and continued to eat my bliny. They were like pancakes, just better.

"So, Comrade. We have to strategize how to get these guys." I said when he put the phone down.

He leaned over the island across from me and put his head in his hands. "Let's go to the library after we get you clothes from Lissa." He said, and we got ready and left. I sat in the car and wondered how my life got so messed up.

Next chapter will be about their planning.

Also, thank all of you who nominated me for the VA awards. I love you all.
