If You Ever Get Lonely Chapter 7, a bloodlines series, richelle mead fanfic

Dimitri POV

The memories rushed back to me. I tried to stop them, I really did. I'd suppressed them in order to help Adrian. He didn't know, how could he?

Flashback(day of Jill's funeral)

I followed Sydney after the funeral. I knew she was going to find Adrian, so I decided it'd be safe to be there for clean-up duty in case thing went bad for Adrian. When I made it to the house Sydney and Adrian were shouting. Adrian was shirtless and Sydney was crying. I didn't think it could get worse. As Sydney left I walked up to the door. I was going to comfort Adrian, but something behind him stopped me. It was a woman, actually it was my woman. My girlfriend was wrapped up naked in sheets. In another man's house. She made eye contact with me and immediately started talking.

"So Adrian" I said cutting her off, "I...I...Uh" I blinked rapidly trying to get rid of the image of killing Adrian. He didn't know who she was. How could he I never told anyone I even had a girlfriend.

"I..." I tried speaking again, but it wouldn't work, so I bolted. After a few days when I clamed down I went to see her, but she wouldn't talk to me. She only pushed me away and yelled at me.

Present

I haven't seen her since and here she was.

"Go away" I sighed.

"Can we just talk" She asked. I turned, glaring at her.

"I tried talking to you two years ago" I spit at her turning back around.

"Please Dimitri, just listen." The desperation in her voice stopped me, but I didn't turn around.

"I don't want to talk to you" I said.

"Then... just listen please." Finally, I turned facing her beautiful brown eyes filled with regret.

"Fine you have a minute Rose"

"I'm sorry Dmitri. I never meant to hurt you, I...I just" Rose was trying to explain, but I cut her off.

"Just cheated on me" I said softly, looking into her eyes. I didn't have the energy to be mad anymore. She lowered her head in shame.

"I just hoped you'd forgive me" she said turning and walking out the door. I stared at the door, feeling something inside me.

"Rose wait" I shouted running out the door, what the hell is coming over me. She stopped and turned tears running down her face. I took two steps and pulled her to me. Grabbing her chin I pulled her face to mine.

"I love you" I whispered kissing Rose.

Adrian POV

When I got on stage, I noticed Sydney was here and she was staring at me. After my first song, her friend Ivan, I think pulled her away to a back corner. The guys and I were assigned to play a band song, but I thought about something different.

"Guys follow my lead" I said, getting my acoustic guitar. They nodded and I started playing.

Thanks for calling
It's so good to hear your voice
But you keep breaking up
In all the static and the noise
But I keep listening
'Cause I never had a choice when it came to you

I'd love to see you
If you're ever out this way
You sound happy
Guess things are working out okay
And I'm getting better
At putting one foot in front of the other

And I know that California ain't to blame
And I know there's a tons of people in LA

But if you ever get lonely
And you miss me
If you need someone to listen
Even if it's only
The sound of someone's voice who loves you
That you need to hear
You know where to find me
If you ever get lonely

Sounds like a good time
Going down at the other end
You got a new love, got a new life
A whole new set of friends
But are you listenin'
Do you expect me to pretend that I don't love you
I don't love you

Were you ever really listening?
Were you ever really there?

As i finished, Sydney had made her way back to the front. She was staring at me , just like I was staring at her. Before her sister died i worte her this song, well she knew part of it. I finished it the day I saw her in the cemetery.

Sydney POV

I was talking to Ivan, when I heard that song. My song, our song. When I made it to the front, Adrian was staring at me. I staring right back looking him in the eyes. I know Keith most likely saw this, but I didn't care anymore. I was tired of being mad, tired of staying away from Adrian. Ivan was 100% completely right, I loved him, and I want, no needed to stop denying it. But right now all I could do was stare. Adrian wrote this song for me before my sister died, before he made a mistake. Adrian finished, still staring at me. Tears came to my eyes and I ran. Ran from the guilt, and love in Adrian's eyes, ran from the guilt that filled my heart. I had to get away, I needed my sister.
