Chapter 8: Trouble comes knocking

Flash back:

I was mad but I got up and answered it anyways. As soon as I opened the door I regreted it. Standing there looking the same as I last saw him...

Dimitri.

"Roza" He whispered.

Everything suddenly started spinning, then it was black and I remembered someone catching me as I fell and saying my name over and over in a panic.

Then it was just blackness.

End flash back

I woke up in Christians bed, covered up with blankets. I felt dizzy and totally out of it. I tried to sit up but instantly plopped back down because my head spun.

"Roza?" Said a familer voice somewhere off to my left.

I look over and there he is, sitting in a chair by the bed, the man who left me in peices, looking concerned for me. I almost started to cry.

"D-Dimitri? What in the...why are you here?" I demanded from him

"I..well I came here to talk to you today, but when you opened the door and saw me, you fainted" He told me

"Oh. How long have I been out?"

"For about 4 hours"

"Shit"

He looked at me with a sort of amused expression on his face, and I couldnt stop the tear that trickled down my cheek. He instantly became serious.

"Roz-"

"Dont. Just tell me what you came here for" I cut him off and said angerly as I wiped the damn tear from my face.

"Well, I wanted to say that I'm sorry...so sorry for leaving you, and I didnt mean to hurt you b-"

He was cut off by me laughing.

"Your all the same aren't you? The whole 'Im sorry' and ' I never meant to hurt you'. Yeah, cuz you so didnt know you were hurting me when you leaving in the first place" I told him sarcasticaly

"But, Rose I really didnt want to leave you. But it was best for all of us" He said trying to sound sincere

"Did you know that Lissa broke up with Christian?" I asked him

"Um, no I didn't. But I really dont see how that has anything to-"

"Well she did brake up with him...for Adrian. She told Christian she didnt love him anymore, and that she was so so sorry and didnt mean to hurt him. Christian didn't buy it, and guess what? neither am I" I told him stubbornly.

"But, Rose...Roza I mean what I said, I am s-" He couldn't finish because I cut him off again.

"First of all, Do not call me Roza again. And second, If you mean what you say, you wouldn't of left me in the first place. You say you always keep true to your word, if thats true you would of kept to your promise. You know, the one where you said you'd never leave and would never hurt me?" I said to him angerly

He sighed. "Im sorry. Thats all I can say here" He said

"Well then I guess all you can do now is get the hell out of this room and out of my life. Because if thats all you have to say, I dont want to hear it. Im so tired of broken promises and empty appologies" I said to him while looking away

"Fine. If you want me to leave, I will" He said as he got up and walked to the door. He was about to walk out when he turned around and spoke

"I did love you Rose, you got to believe that. In fact I still do. I really am sorry, even if you dont want to hear it, I still fill that I must say it. Goodbye Rose" He said. I didnt look at him. I couldn't.

Soon I heard the door open, him walking out, and the soft click of the door closing. "Goodbye Dimitri" I whispered to myself.

Then I started to cry.

***************************************************

After about an hour of sobbing I finally tired myself out. I was laying in the bed drifting off to sleep when I heard the door open. I didnt really care who it was at that point, I didnt care about anything. I wasn't really there, didnt fill anything, I was just..numb.

I felt a movement on the bed and realized someone was climbing up on it. After the person got situated, I felt arms go around me from behind, just holding me in a comfoting embrace.

"Rose?" Christian whispered by my ear

I didnt answer, i just cried a little more.

"Oh Rose Rose its okay..shhh its alright" He comforted me as I let more tears stream down my face. will I ever stop crying? I thought to myself as I turned over in Christians arms to face him.

I took a deep breath and just looked at him. He looked back with reassuring eyes while his hand rubbed my back softly.

"Why? Why did he have to come back and ruin it all?" I asked quietly

Christian looked at me with sad eyes. "I knew you were in pain still...I saw it. You tried to hide it and be strong for others and me becuase of what was happening with Lissa,but i still knew. You shouldnt of bottled it up like that" He told me in a whisper

"Y-you knew?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah. I know a lot of things" He said softly while looking at me knowingly. My breath caught.

"Christian? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything" He said with a smile

"When...when you said you've been thing about me, ya know, today before he interrupted, um..what did you mean?" I asked nervously

He starred at me, and I could swear I saw a redness to his cheeks. He took a deep breath

"Well, I meant that i've been thinking about you...and how things have changed between us. I mean we're not fighting anymore, we're laughing and having fun and when we're not..well we're in each others arms comforting each other. And, well, I like it. I like that we're like this with each other. Lately, i've been filling that I like having you in my arms more than I did Lissa" He said the last part so quietly that I had to strain to hear him.

He looked at me intently, and yes..he was blushing. When I realized what he was trying to tell me, my heart dropped. I felt butterflys. It was one of the most wonderful fillings in the world.

"Christian, honestly, I like being in your amrs more than I have with anyone" I said truthfully

"Really?" He asked in surprise

"Yes" I looked at him and got lost in his blue eyes. Before I knew it, those blue eyes we're getting closer, and I realized I was leaning in closer. He quickly saw what I was doing and leaned in too, all the while looking into my eyes.

And this time nothing interrupted us.

Our lips met in such pure bliss that I thought my heart would explode. He kissed my so sweetly and softly that I wanted to cry again...only from happiness instead of pain.

He stroked my hair and touched my face while kissing me, and I ran my hands ove his chest and back. I never felt so loved in my life. We broke away for air and put our forheads together.

"Wow" I said in a whisper

"Wow indeed" He said and we both laughed. He then looked at me smiling

"Rose, I..I think im in love with you. Wait, no, I know I am" He said to me

"Christian, I am in love with you too" I said smiling and he chuckled

"Wow, who would of thought? Christian and Rose...in love with each other" He said laughing more

"I know, it's so crazy!" I laughed too. But I started to fill my eyelids getting heavier. He noticed.

"Get some sleep okay? I can see your tired, you had a long day" He said to me

"Alright" I said with a yawn. Right before I closed my eyes I said something that felt so great and so right to say

"Christian, I love you"

"Rose, I love you too" He said with a smile.

I fell asleep smiling.
