Hello, Thank you to like the 4 people that reviewed :)
Thank you for your kind word's about my writing style, It's nice to hear.
And to the "guest" that reviewed my story. I'm sorry you didn't like it so far, but everybody it entitled to have their own way of writing and creating; this is after all a fan, fiction site. I didn't say you had to read let alone review, but thank you for your input.
A review is after all still a review, good or bad.

ANywho, this is just a little chapter to move things forward.


DPOV-

I suppose some would think it weird of me, to just watch. I was the quiet guy, yes, but I saw so much more than anybody else did. Every day I watched this girl come to school and leave. Every day I sat back and observed. Every day, I did nothing.

If one was to look hard enough, it wasn't hard to see what was really going on. She wasn't just the shy girl with an over protective dad and an overbearing boyfriend. She wasn't just a shadow walking the halls. I'm sure there were plenty of people that didn't even know she existed. But it wasn't her fault. I watched my mother growing up. My father used to beat her. She'd never let anyone know it, not in a million years. She was an absolute brave soul, but as I said, I'm observant.

I noticed the days she would cover up her body, were the days he was home. The days her eyes would stay glued to the floor, he was home. The days she would smiled for hours on end and laugh like she'd never get the chance again, he wasn't. I've watched this girl for the past month that I've attended this school for. Finally my mother had pucked up the courage to move away; far away from that man and the memories.

Too bad for me that they seemed to follow. Too bad for me, I was stuck in the same position of knowing and being so helpless.

I could tell the days where it was worse for this girl... Rose... Roza. When she'd be in a better mood, her eyes would shine across the hallways. She never quite managed a smile on her face, but her eyes, well they were a sight to see. On a particularly bad day, she'd wear clothing almost like she was readying herself for the convent. Long pants, long shirt, boots. No matter what kind of day it was though, her beautiful, long, dark brown hair, always hung in loose, natural waves down her back. And even though I knew that underneath all the clothing, and all the pretend there was nothing but ugly marks, she was a magnificent creature.

I've still yet to muster the courage to talk to her.

RPOV-

Every day was a prison sentence and apparently I was sentenced for life. Wake up in the morning; hell. Go to school; worse hell. Get home; ultimate hell. Everywhere I went I was controlled. I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone that my boyfriend Jesse didn't approve of. In other words, Only a select few female companions whom I had absolutely nothing in common with. Truth be told, they bored me to tears. What could I do about it? Nothing. If I complained, he'd beat me. Then I'd get home and receive another from my dad for misbehaving.

I'm not a human being. I'm a fucking doll, thrown around between users, to do with as they please.

It's been a month since Jesse had decided he was able to keep me. The welts my father had given me had barely healed before Jesse had decided he quite liked to see red all over my back and now, they were something I lived with 24/7. As soon as I'd begin to heal, I'd be punished again, my injuries becoming more severe.

Going to school for yet another day of make-believe, I wore a long maxi skirt that flowed out slightly and a modest floral top tucked in at the waist. Today seemed to be a lucky day. Neither my father nor Jesse had come even remotely close to me. I knew it wouldn't last, but for now, I was feeling on top of the world.

I had a double study period this morning – without Jesse or any of his/my annoying friends. I didn't really use this time to study, rather, as my only two hours away from Jesse or my Dad per fortnight, I curled up with a cushion and a book. It was rather peaceful and I loved the time alone. As usual, Jesse kissed me goodbye outside the library. He was forceful and dominant just like always. I just stood there. I made my way through the doors and to the back corner of the room. No one really came over here. This is where all the classics were and everyone else preferred to read the twilight series or whatever sob story of the month it was.

I dragged my usual cushion over to the wall and sat down with a sigh. I didn't choose a book today. Instead, I closed my eyes and created a story in my mind.

DPOV-

"Hello" I said, watching as she sat there, with a complete and utter look of happiness on her face. Her eyes snapped open at the sound of my voice and instinctively, she crouched in on herself a little – on the defensive. Her eyes found mine. I watched as the fear melted away and was replaced with curiosity. She didn't speak for a little bit. I was about to repeat myself when she gave a slight shake of her head, almost as if clearing her mind.

"Hi." That one simple word left her mouth like a lullaby. Slowly, I sat down in front of her and extended my hand.

"My name's Dimitri Belikov, I just moved here a few weeks ago."

"Rose" she whispered reaching for my hand. "Rose Hathaway." When her hand made contact with mine, I felt a spark shoot through me. It felt amazing. Rose pulled her hand back a little and studied it curiously before reaching out and grabbing my hand again. I felt that spark again and I know she felt it too. I kept my hand still though, as she held it; an absolute look of bewilderment on her face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Rose." Her eyes rose from our hands to my face but she still didn't let go. Neither of us made any move to speak or move from the position we sat in. We sat there for the whole two hours before the lunch bell went and her demeanour changed completely. Her shoulders hunched over, her eyes fell to the ground and she dropped my hand. I watched her stand up and pause for a minute before walking away. I took my chance to say one last thing to her. "I'll see you around, Roza." And just like that, she was gone.
