I'm going to try to update a bit more over Thanksgiving and Christmas break. By the way, happy Thanksgiving (are Americans the only ones who celebrate Thanksgiving?)! As always, thanks to everyone who reviewed/followed/favorited, it means alot!
Now, on to the story...
Third Person
Rose was standing in the hallway lecturing her child on bad behavior, meanwhile the former love of her life and the father of her child was just behind a door.
"Come on Alex, lets go back to the table." Rose said, grabbing her childs arm, patting her back. Meanwhile, Dimitri was still standing there. Trying to process what he had just heard.
"What the fuck?" He whispered. "What the fuck?" He tried, a bit louder. "WHAT THE FUCK?" He yelled, his scream encompassing the whole room. All of the students turned around, staring at the Dimitri. No one, not even Rose, had heard the God, badass, stoic guardian curse, let alone have a freak out like they had just witnessed. They pointed and whispered. Rose ran into the cafeteria, expecting to see two teenage boys duking it out over some stupid madness, but no. There stood Dimitri, just outside of the door.
"You." He pointed, marvelling at the 5 foot 4 woman before him.
"Well look, I guess we have a new passenger on the crazy train." Rose scoffed. "What happened now?" She looked up at Dimitri, laughing at his little 'episode', completely oblivious to what he might have heard.
"How dare you! You lied to me! This whole time!." Dimitri screamed, starting to make a scene.
"What did I lie about?" Rose asked, still in a joking mood, enjoying his pissy fit.
"Your daughter, or should I say our daughter. You lied to everyone." He spat, clearly pissed.
"Oh, you heard that little episode, oops." Rose said, unusually calm, and remaining sarcastic. She started to make her way over to the table to finish her lunch, when Dimitri grabbed her arm, turning her around. His fist had a clear shot towards her nose, pulled back. Clearly calculated, a guardians work. Alex ran over towards her mom, gears turning in her head, getting ready to strike, like her mother had taught her to do. Rose stayed calm, knowing her own capabilities and those of her daughter. She also knew how easy it would be to take down a crazy, screaming, 36 year old male having a tantrum. Aex pulled back her fist, and pounded it into the side of the ass's head, her father's head, making sure to keep him conscious.
"Get away from my mother, or I won't hesitate to hit you in places that hurt a hell of a lot more than that." Her words laced with venom.
Dimitri, now on the floor, started to get up.
"Why did you? I thought you loved me. How could you?" He was quiet, whispering like an injured child. It was now Rose's turn to get pissed.
"How could I? Right, because I'm the one who left you to go have an affair with some stupid Moroi. You don't even have the right to know about my daughter! You made that very clear when you left. Oops, you found out. Sorry I ruined your life!" She screamed, leaning over the man, making him cower back. "Coward." She spat.
"You're still lying, I know you are! To everyone. Thats not my child. Its Adrian's. You're just a blood whore like everyone originally thought." He yelled back, making her even more pissed. Lissa got up and walked over to Rose.
"Come one, lets go." She told her best friend.
"No." Rose shook Lissa off. Lissa stayed next to her best friend.
"You bastard! Your just an ignorant, arrogant son of a bitch!" Alexandra screamed at her father. He sat on the ground and brought his knees up to his chest and cried. It was a wonder a man that large could make himself look so small.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." He whispered.
"Yeah, well I'm not." Rose had quieted down, but was still as angry as before. "Oh, and you know what, theres this thing called being shadow kissed. Maybe you've heard of it. Thats why I have a child. Maybe you can get the fact that I'm not a slut through that thick head of yours!" Rose turned and walked away, leaving the man curled up on the floor crying, and everyone else followed her. It was only now that Rose realized the crowd of her friends that had gathered. As soon as they were out of the school building Rose started sprinting. She needed to punch something and feared that if she didn't leave fast it would be one of her friends. She pushed open the gym door and hung a punching bag.
"Ass." She yelled. She punched, and the fake leather smacked her hand.
"Bastard." Punch.
"Idiot." Punch.
"Self obsessed shitface." Punch. She continued at this for a while, her use of vocabulary becoming more and more strange. She heard the door open and turned around, about ready to knock the person dead where they stood, until she saw Lissa. She stopped punching, and walked over towards her friend, grabbing her bag that she always kept in the locker rooms. She sat down on one of the chairs, and started to wrap her bloody fists with medical tape.
"Oh Rose, what have you done to your hands." Lisa grabbed her hand, preparing herself to heal her best friend.
"No." Rose whispered. Lissa backed her hand away. She put her arm on Rose's shoulder, pulling her small muscular frame against her tall slim one, letting her weep into her shirt.
Meanwhile, Dimitri was sitting in his bed, arms wrapped around legs as he cried, curled in the fetal position.
"I'm such an idiot." He whispered. "I left her. Alone. She doesn't want me. I'm so, so sorry Rose. So sorry"
Both of the adults stayed crying like this, one upset and hateful, and the other so deeply sorry and upset with himself.
Tasha entered Dimitri's room, wrapping her arm around him.
"I know you still love her. I'm sorry for how I've been acting. Its going to be ok." She whispered into his shoulder, trying to comfort him. He seemed just as broken as he was when he was restored, and this time, it was entirely his own fault.
Sorry that I made Tasha sound like such a jerk the last few chapters. I am trying to make her seem a bit nicer now. Thanks.
