Rose POV

I woke up soon after I fell asleep, looking at the clock, I knew that I had to go and get ready for school soon. I sighed, looking up at Dimitri's sleeping face, I was pretty sure that I didn't want to go to my classes, but if I didn't then Kirova would send out a SWAT team in search of me and then she would have a pretty good reason to expel me.

So I decided to scrawl a note to Dimitri:

Dimitri,

I left for classes, I'm going to tell Alberta that you're sick and I'm going to get you some pills for the fever. Don't move a muscle! And don't you dare come down and start Guarding, because if you do then I'm going to be pretty pissed off.

Love,

Rose

I ran out the door in my jeans and tank top from last night, and headed off to class. I was in a complete daze, coming to class late every period, all of my teachers told me to snap out of it and hurry up and pay attention. It wasn't my fault that I was worried about Dimitri, I love him for god's sake! But the teacher's never understood love.

At the end of the day, I ran to Dr. Olendsiki's office and asked for the medication.

"How old is the patient?" She asked.

"24," I answered, nervous. But she only looked at me with surprise and nothing else. She handed me the bottle and I ran down the hall to Alberta's office. I knocked quietly and stepped inside the office before she even said I could come in. I knew that it was rude, but I didn't want to waste any unnecessary time.

"Rose, what can I do for you?" She asked.

"Guardian Belikov is sick, so he can't do any Guardian duties for a while," I told her, out of breath.

She nodded, "Since I'm just about to drown under paper work, I'm going to trust you, just tell him to call me to confirm it."

I nodded and stepped out of her office and ran to Dimitri's room, ecstatic, but when I was at his door, I heard two voices in the room.

"Tasha, I can't------

Dimitri was cut off, and I heard him moan with pleasure.

I burst into the unlocked room and saw a beautiful dark haired woman on top of Dimitri, kissing him.

I gasped, and she turned around.

Dimitri looked up at me, his eyes wide with shock and horror.

"I just came to give you the medicine. Alberta wants you to call her yourself and tell her that you're sick," I told him.

I looked up, my eyes were filled with pain and sadness, but I couldn't help it. He hurt me, how could he sleep with this fucking whore?! Over me?!

"Rose, it's not what it looks like," He began, but I cut him off.

"Save it, Guardian Belikov, you don't have to explain yourself to me," I told him. I walked out of his room, and went into my own, slamming the door behind me and throwing myself onto the bed. God it hurt so bad, I could barely breath. I felt the air press against me, and I couldn't suck any of it in. I was in a cloud of pain and hurt, and I had to make it end. Anything would be better then this pain. I took the scissors off the table and used the blades to make a line on my wrist. I counted the drops of blood that fell on the mat. 1….2…….3…….. and then I blacked out.
