The next day I woke up in a very good mood. Slightly because I was going on an awesome vacation with all of my friends and boyfriend, and slightly due to the fact that I was looking at said boyfriend sleep on the floor next to the bed. He still insisted that if I spent the night In his room he got the floor. I tried to explain to him the concept of us both sleeping in the same bed, but he didn't condone to it.

"Morning sunshine." I said with a laugh.

He rolled over with cute morning eyes looking at me and said "Someone's cheerful." Before I could respond Dimitri's cell phone went off. He looked down on it and an expression appeared on his face that reminded me of Lissa when Uncle Victor had called.

He quickly answered it and I immediately knew who it, seeing as he was speaking Russian. I watched him with a smile on his face as he talked excitedly to one of his family members. I could never get bored looking at him. His dark brown eyes glowed with excitement, and it always made me proud that I knew exactly what he was thinking.

A couple minutes later he closed his phone, smile still lingering on his perfect lips. "That was my mother." He said.

I crawled out of the bed and sat on his side with my head against his shoulder. "so do you think they'll be able to handle me?"

He laughed and wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close to him. "I don't see how anyone could not like you."

I burst out laughing and said "Ha! I could give you a few examples. I'm sarcastic, rude, obnoxious, sometimes a bitch…" I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms as if daring him to disagree.

He smiled sweetly and said "Exactly. All of that combined with you good traits make you what I love."

I didn't have any words to describe what that made me feel like so I just leaned over to him and kissed him. This kiss was soft and quick, and surprisingly those were my favorites, though I surely didn't mind the other kinds.

He pulled away and we both just sat there in each other's presence, not needing it any other way. This moment was ruined when I felt myself being pulled into Lissa's head, and I had a feeling it wasn't for happy reasons.

I was proven correct when I found Lissa sitting on the edge of her bed with a picture in her hand. She held the picture out in front of her and I could feel the tears running down her cheeks and falling on the photo in her hand.

It was understandable to see why she was so upset. In her hands she held a picture of her family. Andre had an arm around Lissa's shoulder and the two of them were laughing happily. Her dad had his arms around his wife as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. They all looked so happy, so alive.

Lissa's hand stroked Andre's face and she caved in on herself, wrapping her arms around her knees. I was about ready to jump out of her mind to go check up on her before things could get worse when the door opened. Lissa looked up and through her tears she saw Christian.

He saw her sitting there in a position that she hadn't used in a while and he rushed to her side. He pulled her into his lap and pushed her hair out of her eyes.

I then realized that at this very moment she didn't need me, and quite honestly, that surprised me. I was always the one who used to pick up the pieces for her, but now she has two people for that and I had to admit, Christian was doing a good job.

He leaned his head down to her ear and said "it's ok. You have me, Rose, as much as I hate to admit it," I rolled my eyes at this, "And all your other friends. I know it's hard because your family isn't right here in the present, but they are still with you. I know they are." She sobbed harder into his chest."I know what you're going through, and I know that even my parents are still watching me." He said.

I always forgot that Christian didn't have parents either. And hearing him be this sentimental was just weird, so I got out of Lissa's head.

"That was weird." I said. "Sweet to."

Dimitri was at a loss and he said "What?"

I sighed and said "Well Lissa was crying about her family because she saw a picture of them together. I was ready to go comfort her, but then Christian came and did my job. He was nice, and sweet, funny enough."

Dimitri chuckled and said "Of course Christian being kind to someone would phase you this way."

I shrugged my shoulder and stood up. "Want to go see Danny?" I asked.

He nodded and got up and together we walked over to see him.

After spending the day with my favorite child, who's first word, I was afraid, would become a swear word due to me, Dimitri and I walked back to the dorms hand in hand.

"I can't believe they're leaving soon." I said.

Dimitri squeezed my hand and said "You couldn't expect them to stay at the academy forever did you?"

I sighed and said "Suppose not." Then I looked down sadly.

"At least tomorrow we're going on vacation." He said with a grin.

That topic instantly perked my mood up and I said "Yup." Then with a sinking feeling I said "Crap! I still need to pack!"

He laughed and said "Of course you forgot."

I elbowed him and said "hey! It's not fault I spent the whole day with you!"

"Then who's fault who is it?" he said with a smirk.

"You've been hanging out with Christian a little too much." I said.

He laughed and pulled me to him for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. After a few minutes we continued our walk back to the dorms.

"So will you help me pack?" I asked giving him my look that nobody could decline.

He smiled and said "Ok." I gave him a kiss on the cheek as we reached my room.

For the rest of the night we packed and fell asleep on the beanbags on my floor.

Overall it had been a great day, but tomorrow would be even better because we were leaving for the ski resort!
