Hey guys, I'm not quite sure how to proceed with this… collection of sorts. If you leave a review and tell me what Dimitri POV's you want me to do. I will try my best to do them.

"She should be fine. It would be best if she could hold out in practice for a day." said. I know Rose, and she wouldn't like that and neither do I. I nodded and she left. I looked to where Rose was quietly sleeping in the bed for patients. A bench? She had tripped on a bench? The whole day at the mall had been perfect, until the bench came into the picture. I could've sworn I heard a snap. But the doctor said she was fine.
I was proud of her; she had done such a great job. Spiridon had said she did an amazing job and that it was unexpected. The only mistake made on this trip was of my own account. I had let it slip that she would endanger the school with that tiny little black dress. I couldn't help, but picture her in it. Slowly Rose's eyes opened.
"Rose." She looked at me in the eyes. She looked still a little out of it. They had to drug her, she was… loud. "Hey." She croaked. "How do you feel?" "Weird. Kind of groggy." "Dr. Olendzki gave you something for the pain--you seemed pretty bad when we brought you in.'' She had screamed many profanities." I don't remember that...How long have I been out?'' "A few hours.'' "Must have been strong. Must still be strong." I knew they had given her too much but, no one wanted to listen to me. "I don't hurt at all.'' I shook my head. "No. Because you weren't seriously injured.'' Thank God, or whoever was listening. "Are you sure? I remember...the way it bent. No. Something must be broken." She started to sit up and I decided that probably wasn't a good idea. ."Or at least sprained.'' "Be careful. Your ankle might be fine, but you're probably still a little out of it.'' "God, I got lucky. If I'd hurt it, it would have put me out of practice for a while.'' I smiled, of course she would be thinking about that. I couldn't lie and say I didn't mind if she missed even one practice. "I know. You kept telling me that while I was carrying you. You were very upset.'' Just the chance to carry her was amazing. She had weighed barely anything. She was so small and yet strong. "You...you carried me here?'' Of course. "After we broke the bench apart and freed your foot.'' "I was taken down by a bench," she groaned. "What?'' "I survived the whole day guarding Lissa, and you guys said I did a good job. Then, I get back here and meet my downfall in the form of a bench." Uh huh. "Do you know how embarrassing it is? And all those guys saw, too.'' I didn't like the fact that she worried what the other guys thought. No, don't she's not yours Belikov! "It wasn't your fault," I assured her. "No one knew the bench was rotted. It looked fine.'' It had looked fine. Perfect even. I wonder what happened. "Still. I should have just stuck to the sidewalk like a normal person. The other novices are going to give me shit when I get back.'' I liked the fact that she wasn't like everyone else. She took a walk on the wild side and took the bench. Not that big of a deal. I tried not to smile but, could feel myself not succeeding. "Maybe presents will cheer you up.'' "Presents?'' I couldn't help but smile. I liked to see her happy. "This is from Prince Victor.'' I watched her as she read the note. ."That's nice of him," she opened the box and a slowly a look of surprise and recognition crossed her face. "Whoa. Very nice.'' She picked it up and I got a better look at it. It was a gold necklace with a diamond gold rose pendant at the bottom. Beautiful, just like her. "This is pretty extreme for a get-well present," "He actually bought it in honor of you doing so well on your first day as an official guardian. He saw you and Lissa looking at it.'' "Wow. I don't think I did that good of a job.'' "I do.'' She smiled at me. An earth shattering smile that made me want to cry. "You did say 'presents,' right? Like more than one?'' I couldn't help but laugh at her. "This is from me.'' I had remembered her complaining about it at one of our sessions. I always remembered everything she said. It stuck to me, replaying in my wildest dreams. A dream where we could be together. She probably didn't feel the same. And that was good she shouldn't, she could do better. She pulled out the lip gloss from the bag. Astonished she looked at me. "How'd you manage to buy this? I saw you the whole time at the mall.'' "Guardian secrets.'' "What's this for? For my first day?' '"No," I said simply. "Because I thought it would make you happy.'' Shit. I did it again. She leaned forward and hugged me. At first I didn't know what to do, and then it occurred to me that maybe I should take advantage of the moment. "Thank you." I hugged her back. Content with staying like this forever, I wouldn't mind. "I'm glad you're better," I stated. I realized that my cheek was touching her hair. A wonderful feeling, her soft wavy dark brown hair fascinated me. "When I saw you fall...''"You thought, 'Wow, she's a loser.''' "That's not what I thought.'' How could I? I pulled back to look at her. I stretched out my hand and gently caressed her delicate cheek, I slowly reached out and took a lock of hair in my fingers. I always wanted to just hold her and play with it all day. I didn't care how girly it was. A knock on the door sent us both back to our original positions. I minded but, at the same time I didn't. Who knows how far I would've gone.
