I'm so sorry that I didn't keep you guys updated with me. I wanted to let you guys know that I wouldn't be able to update but I didn't want you guys to get pissed off seeing a author's note, which is why i didn't put my authors note up. trust me, i had one written and everything lol. here's the note, if you guys want to see it. otherwise just skip down to read the new chapter. I tried to make it somewhat longer than my usual chappies :)

Authors Note:

No I'm not dead. Yet. Okay so I know I haven't updated in a few weeks but I'm extremely sorry! Who knew high school would be enough to make me want to scream in frustration? I had full intent on updating the last Wednesday because we got no school, semester break. But guess who was one of the lucky 10 people that had to go to school? Yeah. Me. FML.

Then I was going to update last weekend but I got really sick. I managed to update my other story since I had already started writing it. This week has been crazy guys. I'm juggling so many things. I hope you can understand.

I was a little hectic on writing this author's note because well most of you were probably thinking this was a chapter. Sorry for that.

I'm writing this because I've been getting A LOT and I'm not even exaggerating, but people are asking so many questions. Some are asking me why I'm not updating and when I plan to. A few people were actually asking me if that was the last chapter and if the story was over. I responded and I just think it would be easier to write this then to explain over and over. I don't know why you guys think that the story is over cause I haven't said anything about it also I'm trying to update as soon as I get a chance.

By the way, updating sometime this weekend is a PROMISE.


Previously...

I was out of the hospital wards and had made it to my room in record time. The first thing I did when I got to my room was took a 5 minute shower and put on fresh clothes. This process did make me dizzy especially since I was still weak from blood but was worth it since I had the hospital and blood smell off of me.

I was sure that everyone was in Adrian's room since his room was usually where everyone hung out, so I decided to start heading over there.

I had made it to the guy dorms as I started walking to his Adrian's room.

I was almost there when suddenly I stopped.

I guess my heart decided to stop as well.

No fucking way.

There in front of me was…..

Dimitri Belikov.

Shit

We Meet Again

...

It was like the in-the-moment situation. I was half walking forward and half walking back. I felt so confused. Seeing Dimitri here in front of me, well that was something I wasn't expecting. Ever. I felt devastated. I couldn't deal with this right now. I wasn't even sure if I had enough strength to face him.

I looked back up to the place I saw Dimitri and then looked all around nearby. And sure enough, Dimitri wasn't there anymore. Thank God he didn't see me otherwise I don't even know how I would react.

I pretty much had to force tears back into my eyes as I slowly made my way to Adrian's room. Before I entered, I took a few deep breaths and hoped no one would notice anything and then entered.

Everyone's eyes shot up as they looked at me. I can even swear that at least half of my friends rolled their eyes at me.

"Rose, you escaped from you hospital ward. What a surprise." Christian said sarcastically

"Yeah never saw that coming." Eddie said using the same tone as Christian

I opened my mouth but no words came out. Wait let me rephrase that. I was too scared to talk because the tears I was holding in were still threatening to come out.

Before my friends started asking questions Lissa interrupted.

"Rose! We missed you!" She screamed with excitement rolling off her words

"I missed you guys too. Where's Adrian?" I asked, trying to sound normal

"Oh he's getting us some snacks." Mia explained

"Rose?" Christian asked

I was about to shoot him a confused but then I remembered that he had obviously been reading my mind.

"Nothing." I said simply.

I could still feel the tears trapped in my eyes.

"Rose." Christian repeated as he took a step towards me and wrapped him arms around me.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started crying. The tears I had been holding in for so long, finally came out.

I could feel that all my friends were frozen behind me. It felt like everything was frozen as I cried my eyes out.

I knew that no one, not even Christian knew why I was crying. I tried not to think about him.

I was still crying uncontrollably while I heard the door open.

"Rose?" I heard Dimitri's voice ask. Dimitri was here. In this room. I wasn't sure how to react. I tried to calm down myself and stop crying.

"What's wrong with her?" A voice I recognized as Tasha's asked.

Tasha. No way. Well I guess that was to be expected as she was probably here with Dimitri. Dimitri. The guy, who broke my heart, was now here to rub it in. Wasn't it enough that after using me, he had left me for another girl?

I could feel Christian wipe the tears from my eyes as I saw understanding flash in his eyes. I could also feel Eddie, Mia, Lissa, and Christian's eyes start to glare at Dimitri. I was pretty sure that Christian and Eddie looked like two madmen going to war, with the glares they were giving to Dimitri. Well he deserves it for being a lying bastard.

At this exact moment, the door opened again and Adrian stepped in.

"Hey guys I brought some—"Adrian cut off as he looked at us.

I was crying and Christian was hugging me while trying to calm me. Dimitri was in the room with Tasha. Lissa and Mia were glaring at Dimitri. Eddie and Christian were practically killing Dimitri with their eyes. Tasha seemed oblivious as ever. Yeah I think we've reached a maximum what-the-fuck-did-I-miss moment.

"What the fuck?" Adrian confirmed as he stared at the scene in front of him.

Well if I wasn't so freaking depressed then I would have definitely laughed at this moment. I mean c'mon seriously. It was bad karma that this all happened at once.

Bad karma. Yeah well why did I always have to end up with it?

Christian then stared at me as if I was crazy for finding this funny and making my usual rose comments.

Well you can't blame me. I directed my thought to Christian.

Christian rolled his eyes at me.

This only caused the tension in the room to build up a little bit more. Really guys?

I was finally capable enough to not start crying again. I tried to clear my face and calm myself down. On the other hand, no one in the room was moving. If it wasn't for all the tension then I would even be sure if anyone was breathing.

"So who's hungry?" Adrian said trying to break the tension

Everyone stared at him as if he was crazy. Poor Adrian.

"I am." I stated while grabbing a bag of chips from Adrian.

Everyone had now started staring at me, including Adrian.

This is what I get for trying to get the awkward stares from Adrian. Thanks a lot guys.

"Well infirmary food isn't very appetizing." I said with a shrug as I started eating

Christian gave a nervous laugh and mumbled in agreement.

"So…." Tasha trailed off

"Yeah…." Lissa said also trailing off her words.

Did I forget to mention that my friends were still glaring at Dimitri. The only difference was that now Adrian had joined the glare-a-thon.

Dimitri actually looked confused as he looked at everyone. Dimitri acted like he didn't know what the problem was.

"Um we just stopped by to see how you were doing Rose." Tasha exclaimed

"Well considering what I've been through, I'm just peachy." I said with a hint of sarcasm in my tone

"Yeah I heard about the attack and how those Strigoi held you hostage. It's disturbing how heartless some guys can be." Tasha continued

"Yeah it is heartbreaking." I said while directing my gaze to Dimitri.

I could feel Dimitri follow my gaze as he simply stared at me with his guardian mask on.

"We didn't get the full details. They wouldn't tell us, so we stopped by to ask what really happened. How'd you survive?" Tasha said with concern in her voice.

I wasn't sure if Tasha's concern was fake or not but it seemed to be genuine for the moment. After all the one reason I completely hated Tasha was because she was the reason why Dimitri left me.

I should give Tasha a chance. What if she truly didn't know about me and Dimitri? Plus, it wouldn't be fair to Christian. Whatever the reason, I didn't want to talk to Tasha, not now. Not in front of Dimitri. Talking to Tasha might mean having to speak with Dimitri. Yeah I'd rather not.

I could see Christian give me a small smile.

"It's a long story. Rose is probably really tired since she did escape the clutches of the hospital when she's supposed to be there. We can talk about this tomorrow." Christian said, rescuing me from having to talk to Tasha.

I shot him a grateful look. I could see disappointment in Tasha's eyes. Oh well. I was pretty tired to explain anyway.

"We should all get going." Christian explained.

"Rose you can stay with me tonight." Adrian stated while shooting a not so innocent smile at Dimitri.

I wasn't sure if anyone besides them noticed. Well Christian probably did since he can read my mind but still. I was sure that Dimitri had caught that smile as his face hardened.

"Oh?" Tasha questioned

"Adrian is my boyfriend." I said while shooting a look at Dimitri.

I could tell that Dimitri was pissed. Good, serves him right.

"Aw that's cute. It was kind of expected to happen." Tasha smiled while Dimitri's face hardened even more.

Lissa, Christian, Eddie, and Mia mumbled their goodbyes as they left Adrian's room.

"Well Dimitri and I should get going too. I mean it was such a long trip. I'm completely wiped." Tasha said with a yawn.

"Thanks for stopping by. Good night." Adrian said with a small smile.

I could tell though that Adrian wasn't happy at all that they had come back, especially Dimitri.

"Rose, could I talk to you for a second?" Dimitri asked.

"Sure you can Guardian Belikov." I said in a hard tone.

I could actually feel Dimitri flinch. I almost started crying again. As much as Dimitri deserved it, it hurt for me to see him hurt.

"I'll meet you in our room Dimitri." Tasha said with another yawn as she left.

This caused me to flinch. I could tell that both Adrian and Dimitri had noticed. I felt bad for Adrian because it was probably hard for him to see me like this.

"Could you give us a moment?" Dimitri asked Adrian.

Adrian reluctantly mumbled an okay as he stepped outside the room.

"What are you doing Rose?" Dimitri said with a stern tone

"Huh?" I asked

"You know Adrian is not a good idea." Dimitri stated

I snorted.

"Kind of ironic, coming from you at least." I said sarcastically

Dimitri's eyes hardened again.

"And what's going on with everyone else?" Dimitri asked with anger in his tone

"Did you expect me not to tell my friends about what a lying asshole you were?" I sneered at Dimitri.

"I'm sorry for that Rose. I honestly wasn't planning on using you. I'm truly sorry." Dimitri said softly

"Now are you expecting me to forgive you?" I asked

"I know you're mad Rose, but I had my reasons. Sleeping around with other guys right now is definitely not the best way to go." Dimitri said his eyes hardening up again

"What?" I asked getting confused

"You know who I'm talking about. Your 'boyfriend', Adrian." Dimitri said with disapproval clear in his voice

"Adrian's not like that. You don't know anything about him. Not that it's any of your business but we haven't done anything. Yet." I explained. I was kind of confused.

I mean, why did I feel the need to explain to Dimitri of all people? Did I still care what Dimitri thought of me? What was wrong with me?

Just as Dimitri was going to say something, Adrian entered the room.

"I hope you weren't as easy for him as you were with me." Dimitri stated while he stormed out of the room, clearly furious.

Ouch. That was a low blow Dimitri. Did you really think that I threw myself around like that with every guy I dated?

I didn't even know I was crying when I felt Adrian wrap his arms around me as I cried.

"Shhh, Rose its okay. Don't cry." Adrian whispered as he gently carried me to the bed.

"I'm not a whore Adrian." I said while crying into his neck

"Of course you're not. He was stupid for saying that. In fact he was stupid for letting you go." Adrian said softly

"But he—"

"Who cares what he thinks Rose? He's not worth listening to anything he says." Adrian interrupted

"But—"

"I love you Rose. Don't ever forget that okay?" Adrian said while rubbing my back, soothingly.

"I-I love y-you too." I said with a shaking tone.

"Now you must be dead tired. Let's get you changed and ready for bed." Adrian said while thankfully shifting the topic

"Okay." I agreed quickly.

Adrian got up and got one of his shirts for me to wear. He looked away while I changed. That was sweet of him. I was so lucky to have him there for me.

Adrian then grabbed some clothes for him to wear and went to get changed. He returned quickly.

"Are you cold?" Adrian questioned

I hadn't even realized that I was trembling until now.

Before I could respond, Adrian had jumped in bed and had wrapped his arms around me as he pulled the blanket on top of us.

He kissed my forehead.

I could feel him sparkling with joy as he kissed me good night.

I smiled at him before drifting off to sleep.

That night, I fell into a comfortable sleep while using Adrian as my personalized pillow.

Question:

A) Should Rose forgive Dimitri

-or-

B) Should Dimitri reserve a spot in the academy infirmary?
