I was speeding like crazy, and was really surprised I didn't get pulled over by a cop.
"Rose, what's going on?" Liss asked. She was worried.
"I told Adrian if anything happened, to call me. I meant like between Sebastian and Dimitri. He just called and said I needed to come home. I can't have them beating the shit out of each other." When we pulled into the yard, Dimitri and Sebastian were standing out in front of the house, yelling in each others face. Adrian was there, looking pretty scared actually. I could see he was yelling, trying to make them stop. When the van came to a stop, I put it in park, turned it off, and jumped out. I started jogging over to where they were. I didn't get there in time though. I didn't hear what Sebastian said, but I did hear my name tacked onto the end of it. With that, Dimitri reached up, and shoved Sebastian back. He only stumbled a foot or so back before he made his move. I tried to run in between them, but didn't make it before Sebastian's punch connected to Dimitri's jaw. I ran in between them and put a hand on both of their chests before Dimitri could stage his next move.
"Hey, Hey, Hey." I said, turning to make sure Dimitri didn't get anywhere near Sebastian. He was looking at me now, meeting my eyes.
"What the fuck do you two think your doing?" I asked. I turned to look at Sebastian. "What did I say to you before I left? You promised."
"Its not my fault the little prick likes to start shit." Sebastian said, glaring at Dimitri. Dimitri started towards us.
"I'll show you prick." Dimitri said. I put a hand out towards him.
"Don't even think about it." I said, turning my glare on him. "I will break your jaw again and not think twice about it." I pushed Sebastian a few steps back, so he wasn't as close.
"Now.. What happened?" I asked, turning to Adrian. Sebastian started to speak but I turned to him.
"Shut up. I wasn't speaking to you." I said. He gave me a strange look. I turned back to Adrian. He looked between Sebastian and Dimitri, and then looked back at me a little afraid.
"Remember what I told you before I left? I meant it." I said. He nodded.
"Sebastian came down to the kitchen for something and Dimitri was in there, and Dimitri fired something smart off about you, and what happened yesterday, and it set him off." Adrian explained. I turned to Dimitri.
"So you started it?" I asked, stepping closer to him. I pushed him and he stumbled back a few feet.
"Yeah, he did." Sebastian said. I turned my head and jabbed a finger in his direction.
"I don't want to hear shit from you right now. I'm still mad at you. You promised." I snapped.
"But he started it." Sebastian said.
"Listen to you, Jesus Christ, you sound like your five years old. You promised, and you did it anyway. I don't give a shit who started it. You still didn't walk away like you should have." I said. I then turned back to Dimitri.
"But you. You're twenty-four years old. Six years older than me, and two years older than him, and yet, your playing games like a child. You always chastised me for acting young, and being young, but look at what your doing, listen to yourself, playing petty games and fighting over me like you're a bunch of teenagers." I said. He looked upset.
"Rose, I-" I cut him off.
"No. You shut up and listen. I'm going to set this straight one last time for you, since you don't seem to get it. I. Don't. Want. You. Period, point, blank. If I wanted you, I would be with you. I would have left Sebastian yesterday when you kissed me, but I didn't. There will never be anything more between us. Ever. Everything me and you had, you threw down the drain when you walked away from me. You wanted Tasha, you got her. Its not my fault she wasn't really what you wanted. There isn't anything left between you and me, everything that I once felt for you is gone. Love fades, and mine has. I've given up on you. I love him." I said, stabbing my finger back toward Sebastian. "Yeah, I'm pretty pissed at him right now, but that's irrelevant. He's my future, he's where my heart is at. He's all I want. Its only him. I don't know what it is I need to do to get that through your thick, Russian skull, but its true alright. You hurt me, Dimitri. You tore my heart into little bitty pieces and stomped it into the ground. I told you the night you left that I would have a damn good life without you, and I'd be the best damn guardian there was, and you know what? I wasn't lying. I meant every damn word. I'm proving it now. Sebastian is who I'm with, and who I'm going to be with. Even if I wasn't with him, I damn sure wouldn't be running back to you. So, I hope you really understand now that there is no more us. There is nothing. So, stop trying so damn hard, and move on." I finished, and had to take a deep breath. I watched as his brown eyes filled with nothing but pain, agony, and sorrow. He blinked once, and a tear rolled down his cheek. He turned and walked inside, slamming the door hard behind him. I heard something break as he walked through the house. Liss, Adrian, and Sebastian stared at the door, but my eyes were on Sebastian.
"Liss, Adrian, would you mind?" I asked, breaking them out of their trance. They nodded.
"No, we'll go." They said, and walked inside. Adrian looked scared to go in without me. Sebastian's eyes were now on my face. I was not in a good mood any more. Once the door closed behind them, Sebastian sighed.
"Rose, look-" I cut him off too, not wanting to hear it.
"No, you look. You promised me. You promised I could leave you here, and not have to worry about you and him. Instead, you did the exact opposite." I said.
"I was sticking up for you." He said. As sweet as it was, it wasn't necessary.
"I don't need you to stick up for me, I can take care of myself. I don't care what he has to say about me, or you, or anyone. His opinion doesn't matter. What does matter is that you let him get under your skin, and started a fight with him even after you promised me you wouldn't." I said.
"Rose, I'm sorry. I just… He just set me off."
"I trusted you." I said. An anger flashed through his eyes then.
"I know we're not getting into the argument of trust. Do you remember what you did last night?" He asked. I flinched. That was a low blow and he knew it.
"Really? You going to seriously throw that in my face. Are we really going to play these games right now?" I asked. "You said you understood. Maybe I thought more highly of you than you deserve." Pain flooded through his eyes.
"Rose, I didn't mean to get into a fight with the guy. I didn't want that to happen." He said. I shook my head and turned to go into the house.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Going to get my things and move down the hall into the empty room, seeing as how I can't be trusted." I said.
"Awe, come on Rosa, you know I didn't mean that." He said. I turned to look at him.
"Then what would make you say it? You know how bad I felt about what I did, and yet, you toss it back in my face when you know you did wrong to make it seem like what you did wasn't so bad. When you start acting you're age, and when you 'trust me', I'll move back into your room." I snapped.
"I trust you now." He said.
"Not from the sounds of it." I said, slamming the door behind me. I walked upstairs, and into our room. I grabbed my things and started moving it down the hall. When I started to walk back out, Sebastian was at the door. Tears were running steadily down my face now.
"Rose, don't do this. Can we talk about this?" He asked.
"You said it all. Nothing more to say." I said, trying to walk out the door. He stepped in front of me, blocking my way.
"Move." I growled.
"Please, don't do this. We have to talk about this." He said. I shook my head.
"Like I said, there is nothing more to say. You made it clear you can't trust me. If you can't trust me, there's no point in being in here." I said, knocking him out of my way with my shoulder.
"I trust you with my life." He said.
"Now your lying." I snapped.
"I'm not and you know it." He said. "Your over-reacting." I stopped, and just stared at him.
"Fuck you." I said. I grabbed the last of my bags, and took them down the hallway to the spare room. Before he could speak again, I slammed the door, and locked it right in his face. I pressed my back against the door, sliding down to the floor, and crying. I didn't want all this to happen. I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't want it. I just wanted to come here, get this trip over, and leave. I didn't plan on it ruining Sebastian and my relationship in the process. I wasn't sure how long I'd sat there crying. It had to have been awhile, because finally my tear ducts dried up, and there was nothing left. I finally slipped into Lissa's head to see her and Christian in Adrian's room playing board games. When she walked out, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. When she looked down the hall, right outside my door, Sebastian laid there, passed out asleep. She could see the tears dried onto his face. She walked over to him."Sebastian?" She whispered. He sat up.
"What?" He asked.
"Go to your room. Get some sleep honey." She said. He shook his head, and sat up, laying his back, back up against my door.
"No. I'm staying here." He said. She stared at him for a second, but nodded. She was debating on compelling him to go to his room, but she didn't. She just walked away, and into her room. I slipped back into my own head, and sighed. I'd fucked everything up, and I didn't know if I'd ever be able to fix it. Fuck!
