Thought I'd upload another one today as I'm completely new to writing and am not sure how it's going.
"Little Damphir! What a wonderful surprise, you remembered me at long last." It was just then that I didn't even know how to start. Obviously the look on my face must have given me away, whether it be the puffy eyes or solemn look on my face.
"May I come in?" If he knew something was wrong he never let on, he just stepped to the side.
"After you little Damphir." He went and sat on the end of his bed while I just paced backwards and forwards.
"Look Adrian, I don't even know where to begin." All of a sudden I felt as if all my words just vanished and I started to lose the battle of holding my tears in. Why are you so emotional Rose? Come on woman pull it together. The churning of my stomach was almost too much and I felt nauseous. It's just nerves Rose, you're scared to lose him too.
"Rose? What's happened?" the seriousness of the situation was obviously apparent as I don't remember another time he has ever used my first name.
"I love you Adrian, I- I just," I was cut off by Adrian.
"Rose, I know what you're going to say. Do you think I didn't realise that Belikov returning would change things. It's okay."
"I can't lose you too," I half choked out.
"Lose me? Rose what are you talking about? All I'm saying is I understand that you have Dimitri now, romantically that is."
"That's the thing Adrian, I don't have Dimitri, he just told me that his love has faded. Honestly I never considered that he doesn't feel the same way about me."
"He's lying little Damphir, I've seen your auras and they way you two look at each other, he's not that good at hiding."
I wanted to believe him so bad but my mind wouldn't have any of it. I can't keep holding onto the 'will he, won't he' love me saga.
"Honestly Adrian I can't do it anymore, I've become so weak and pathetic. Trying to get Dimitri to love me when he doesn't just seems like a heartbroken girl that can't handle the rejection of a man."
"I've never heard you talk this way Rose."
"Well maybe it's time for me to get on with my life. I'm so sorry for everything Adrian. I'm going to get out of your hair, I need time to think."
"You know where to find me when you need me. I'd rather be in your life as a friend than not at all." He murmured as he got up from the end of the bed and wrapped me in a friendly hug. I had almost forgotten what affection was like, I couldn't help the bitter thoughts.
A knock on the door broke us apart as he went to open it. I tried to leave but not before I came face to face with Lissa. There was no way to escape without talking to her.
"Rose, we have to talk."
How did she even know I was here?
"Not now Liss-"
"Yes now!" The tone of her voice stopped both Adrian and myself in our tracks. At least someone else could be witness her hostility. Something caught my eye and it was only then that I saw Christian behind her, he also looked just as shocked at her outburst.
"What we're you thinking trying to talk to Dimitri?" Scolding me like a child, who was she kidding? My stomach started doing somersaults, which reminded me that I probably should eat.
"Lissa I get the message, stay away from Dimitri, you done?" She seemed like she expected more of a fight, as did everyone. "I've requested Dimitri to become my primary guardian for the time being, once he's been reinstated that is, and we think it's best that you temporarily find another duty until he recovers a bit more."
I don't know what kind of look my face was showing but I'm sure betrayal was there. Looking at Christian's face he was just as shocked as I was. Okay so sparky didn't come here to destroy me, that was good I guess.
I took a step back as I faltered, I quickly straightened myself as I felt my tears coming again, all this crying has given me a headache.
"M-my whole life I've given for you." It was in that second that I think Lissa realised just how much her words broke me. Bit late now.
"Rose."
"No. Please Lissa, I can't. Not anymore." As I spoke I ran out the door without looking back. Not before I heard Christians words, "Are you happy now, you finally broke Rose Hathaway? How could you do this Lissa?" I didn't wait for her response and I don't know if I actually wanted to hear her response.
I pushed myself harder, willing for the pain to just stop. Out of breath, I ran until I found a secluded bench, it was then I realised that for the first time in forever I was questioning what to next. My stomach was still going crazy which reminded me I still needed food, I was so distracted in thought when I felt someone sit down beside me holding a bag I jumped.
