A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for a while, I've been on vacation and working. I had most of a chapter typed up but my little sister shut down the computer without saving my document! Ugg! So I have to start over. I hope you enjoy! I own nothing! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

Remi's POV

I stirred awake, feeling warm arms around me. I smiled to myself and peeked one eye open to see Adrian still sleeping, so peaceful and boyish. I reached my hand out to push back his messy hair. I had missed him so much. I snuggled into him, relishing the way his bare skin felt on mine.

He responded in his sleep by holding me tighter. I soon fell back asleep only to be awoken by loud knocking on the hotel room door.

We both shot up.

"Who the hell is that?" Adrian wondered, rolling out of bed putting on his pants. I put on my bra and underwear and grabbed Adrian's button down shirt because I didn't really want to put my dress back on or go searching through my duffle bag.

We opened the door to find Dimki looking dumbfounded at us.

"Hey Dimki," I greeted him sheepishly, my face flushing. Soon his eyes grew darker and his jaw set.

"What is he doing here?" Dimki asked in a seething tone.

"He walked me back to my room last night, and we kind of just lost track of time and passed out," I lied partially.

"And apparently you lost track of your clothes too," Dimki responded dryly, "I want to have a word with you both later. Remi, Rose and I will talk to you over dinner. Ivashkov, I will seek you out in the dead of the night."

Dimitri walked away briskly, and Adrian and I were slightly weary.

"Well, I should get back to my room. Would you mind joining me for lunch?" he inquired, leading me back into my room.

"Sure, that'd be wonderful; maybe we could go tour Italy?" I suggested.

"Sounds like a plan, I'll pick you up in about an hour, we'll get on a moped and scooter around," he smirked.

"So you need your shirt back?" I wondered.

"Yes, unfortunately, it looks much better on you," he said seriously. I smirked and slowly took it off, his eyes darkened with lust, but he shook his head to stay away.

I was a little hurt on the inside, but we weren't together anymore.

He kissed my cheek and quickly rushed out the door.

I leaned against the back of the door to shut it and slid down. I put my head in my hands and let out a hysterical giggle. I looked up to the ceiling and shook my head. What had I just done to myself? I was weak when it came to that man, we just had a nice casual—sort of—bang. Did I really just use the word bang? I was losing it.

I sighed and padded into the bathroom to take a shower, and to hopefully calm down from last night.

True to his word, Adrian knocked on my door an hour later. I opened it up to see him in his jeans, striped light blue a button down, and a pair of his fancy male shoes.

He looked me up and down, taking in the dark washed skinny jeans, my cream colored form fit top with a brown belt, and my knee high brown leather boots. He started to reach his hand out to my hair to play with the long curl but quickly jerked his hand back.

"You look beautiful as always," he smiled and leaned on the door frame.

"Thanks, you look dashing as always," I smiled back and grabbed my purse.

"You're so kind," he chuckled and touched the small of my back as I walked out. He shut the door behind me.

"Let's hit the town," I breezed.

"I hope the town is prepared," Adrian grinned and motioned to the moped he had procured.

"I thought you were joking," I burst out laughing.

"We have to travel Italy like true Italians," Adrian teased, "Now get on."

"Don't be so pushy," I teased him and slung my purse around my body. I hopped on and he sat in front of me.

"Hold on tight," he said.

"It's a moped Adrian, not a crotch rocket," I giggled, but held on anyway.

"Off we go," he shouted jovially.

"Remi, how could you do this to yourself?" Dimki questioned me desperately.

"I get why Adrian broke up with me, I'm okay with it. Yes it hurts, but once December rolls around Adrian and I can be together again. Until then I can focus on being a guardian! And last night was just one last hurrah with him. I'll be fine," I explained.

"Nice way to put it," Rose laughed and hugged me.

"Well I should get going, the plane is waiting for me," I sighed and hugged them. I'd see them in two months for my final field exam and graduation.

"Have a safe trip," they said. I waved and got on the elevator with my suitcase. I got down to the lobby to see Adrian waiting on a couch.

"Hey," I said and he stood up.

"Hey," he smiled and walked over to me, "I wanted to say goodbye."

"It'll be for a while, won't it?" I wondered quietly.

"I'll be there to see you graduate," he offered with a smile and grabbed my hand.

"You will?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world to see my girl graduate top of her class," Adrian grinned.

"You're sweet," I laughed.

His eyes grew serious as they stared into mine.

"I'm going to miss you," he confessed.

"I'll miss you too," I sighed, "But it's what we're going to have to deal with till December 18th."

"Look who's the sensible one now," Adrian chuckled.

"I just get the reason why we can't be together for a while. I have a lot of stuff to deal with in my life. This summer I'm setting out after Logan so I can find him before he finds me. I don't need to bring you down with me," I admitted.

"You have to promise me you'll be careful," Adrian sighed.

"I will, and you try to stay safe. Something doesn't feel right at court; McKenna seems to think so," I advised him.

"Noted," he seemed confused.

"Well I have a private jet to catch," I scratched my head

"I'll see you around," he said a bit awkwardly. I shifted my weight. I leaned forward and kissed him softly.

"Goodbye, Adrian," I whispered and walked out.

"The hope is fading from my lips, when I kiss you with goodbye. Now when you let go of our last embrace, please don't look me in the eye. Secrets out, that I just might care about you. You broke me, you're leaving. There's nothing I can do, I'll find a way to close the door. I want to say so much more but I found you once, you're lost again. Two thousand miles took what could have been. I don't want to, won't let myself, I have to realize." I sang and strummed on my guitar. "This might be, this could be, This is goodbye. This is goodbye. The smile fate was wearing, slowly dies. Minutes turn to months, Silence of the phone just mocks my cry. When I see that you've moved on. Secrets out that I did care about you. You broke me, you left me. There was nothing I could do."

It wasn't entirely accurate but it worked somewhat.

"I'll find a way to close the door, I want to say so much more but I found you once, you're lost again. Two thousand miles took what could have been. I don't want to, won't let myself, I have to realize. This might be, this could be, this is goodbye. Do I ever cross your mind? Cause you're on mine all the time. I can't believe how unfair life is sometimes. Find a way to close the door, and be okay with nothing more but found you once, you're lost again. Two thousand miles took what could have been. I don't want to, won't let myself, I have to realize. This might be, this could be, this is goodbye, this is goodbye. The hope is fading from my lips."

I hit the last chord and was shocked when someone spoke.

"That sounded beautiful," Uri said from the doorway. I didn't realize I had left my door open.

"Thanks, I was inspired. It was a Ke$ha original, not many people know it since it's not pop or about partying," I told him.

"Can I come in?" he wondered.

"Of course, have a seat," I motioned to the room. He sat next to me on my bed.

"Did something happen this weekend?" Uri asked quietly.

"Why do you ask?" I wondered, unconsciously plucking on the strings.

"The song," Uri answered.

"Why would it matter?" I countered.

"Was he there?" Uri muttered.

"Yes, Adrian was there," I sighed. Uri was still trying to go after me, and I felt bad for not reciprocating his feelings the same. He was a best guy friend.

"How did that work out?"

"It was fine, we're friends. I understand why we're not together. We had a few drinks and danced," I shrugged.

"I still think he's dumb to not be with you," Uri snorted.

"Uri, listen, I have demons from my past. This summer I'm going to be tracking down my friend who got turned Strigoi. I have had some things happen to me that I have to concur this summer before I can put myself back into a relationship with anybody. Adrian promised me he'd wait for my 18th birthday, that's dedication," I admitted.

"What if you don't want to be with him then? What if you like someone else?" Uri argued.

"Someone like you, Uri? I get that you like me, I'm flattered, really. But there's a lot of things I have to go through, I'm a mess. I had sex with Adrian this weekend; you're not going to want to be with me after I've been through with that. I'm not the sweet girl you think I am," I rubbed my face vigorously.

"Why did you feel it necessary to tell me that?" Uri sounded disgusted.

"Because you won't want me anymore, go after another more deserving girl," I explained.

"But I only want you, no matter the baggage," he said seriously.

Oh, brother. I stared down at my guitar. I was in a rock and a hard place.

I loved Adrian, but Uri couldn't seem to see that.

A/N: Took me awhile, kinda got stuck! Glad to get a chapter out! Now off to work! Review!
