My competition for the lemon's still going! Guys I need your help!

By the way, my good friend that has helped me throughout this story also helped me write this poem - and all other poems in here – from scratch. So when you review, tell me if you like it!

MASSIVE Thanks to AnimeSiren my Beta! This would be bad without you! You come up with the most random lines! LOL...

Chapter 2

Christian POV

I grinned at her and she grinned back, mirroring my enthusiasm, "And third, I wrote you a poem a while back, do you want it?"

This is what I had been waiting for, her smile stayed on her face but she gasped and said, "You write poetry? God, I would have never thought that of you! Sure, hand it over!" That surprised me the most today. I shoved my hand in my pocket and came up with a piece of paper. I handed it to her and blushed.

Rose POV

It's Destiny

No matter what I do,

No matter what I say,

No matter how I feel,

You've always gone away.

You've been pulled away from me,

So many, many times,

I help push you toward me,

You never fall for my lines.

I miss you being near me,

That always made me smile,

Every moment together,

Was worth while.

I know we'll be together someday,

I know fate will have its way,

It's destiny.

I looked at the piece of paper again and again, I nearly cried. Christian thought this about me!? He had really loved me and I hadn't noticed it, it was dated just after what happened in Spokane.

"Can I keep it?" I didn't want it – I needed it. Christian's face was so surprised! I knew he would think I didn't like it because I don't seem that kind of girl. But in Adrian's letter, the thing that had won me over was the poem at the end. I can't remember the words but I know it was beautiful.

"Sure," That was all he needed – and could – say before I launched myself at him. I kissed him and then pulled back as quickly as it had all happened.

I picked twigs and leaves out of Christian's hair and he did the same for me. This is how I imagined couples to be – sure, Adrian and I had been good but what we did was really materialistic. I secretly loved to go for walks in the woods, but I could never find the right person to do it with. But I think now I have. Christian seemed to be enjoying himself as much as I was, which was great.

We were so similar it was weird – I had never known any two people to have as much in common as me and him, well except for me and my mum. That was just annoying though.

I suddenly thought of something – the kiss by the lake ages ago. Christian had shown that he liked me, but I had just passed it off. This whole thing with Adrian and Lissa was actually my fault because I hadn't acted. I remembered back to Christian's face when I had told him to go away, he had looked devastated but I had ignored it. This day was NOT a good day for me!

I decided to say something – even though the silence wasn't awkward. Silences were never awkward with Christian but they always were with Adrian. I wanted to tell him something though, "Remember by the fountain, when we kissed for the first time? Back when Adrian and I had just gotten together?"

"Yeah, of course I remember it! That was one of the best moments ever! I just thought you were playing with me so I didn't do anything. I had no idea that you might have actually liked me." That was exactly what I thought he might say, that he thought I didn't like him. Because up until a couple of hours ago – I didn't even know that I was crazy about him.

"Well, I know this might sound crazy but I didn't know I liked you then but I am so sorry! I wasn't playing with you – I loved that kiss. But today has been so much better now I know how I feel. Come on, I have a great idea how to show everyone we're together but first we have to find Eddie. You know where he is?" Eddie was really important in this plan as it wouldn't work at all if I couldn't find him.

A while back I would have asked where Mason was, but he was dead now and it was my fault. Eddie was my replacement Mason – I know that sounds bad but they were like brothers. Eddie was able to fill the gap Mason left, at least part of it.

"Nope, I've no idea. Why do we want to find him?" Christian was confused badly. But I was going to tell him when I told Eddie what we were doing – then he couldn't back out because Eddie wouldn't let him.

"Damn, we'll just have to go find him then. We can't stay like this," I picked up our joined hands, "In case Lissa and Adrian see us. It's going to be a nice surprise for them – that's all you get to know about my plan." I winked as I said that and we dropped our hands but stayed close together.

Christian and I had a hard task going on. Eddie could be anywhere on campus. I suppose we had best get going then.

A/N – So sorry for the short chapter. It was just a filler. Next chapter will probably be extra long. R&R!!
