And here goes my story :)
I was on my way back to St. Vladimirs. I had killed the man I love. Now I needed to move on. I needed to find a way to keep living.
"Rose!"
The voice from behind startled me and I spun around and looked into his eyes. His deep emerald green eyes. Adrian.
He looked so happy to see me, and not just in a dream but to really see me standing there in front of him. He had been so worried. He had tried to help me and I had pushed him away. But not anymore. I had told him before I left that when I came back, I would give him a chance. True, I had said that so that he would give me money, but now I felt I should at least give him a chance. He had chased me from the day we met on the porch of the ski lodge in Idaho. He loved me.
I ran up to him and hugged him as if letting go would cause me to slip away from this world. After a second of surprise and hesitation, he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back. He could tell the trip had been hard on me and he didn't want to say anything that would upset me. I started crying as I pushed my face into his chest. "Rose...?" He was surprised by my emotional reaction. "Are you okay?"
I wiped my eyes and tried to look brave. "I'm fine." He looked truely concerned and I couldn't stand it. I couldn't let myself show weakness. I couldn't show fear. I jerked away from him and gave him my classic Rose Hathaway smirk. "What? Were you hoping to take advantage of the crying girl who has lost everything?" I could see he was taken aback by this.
"Rose... I want to help you. I want you to understand that life goes on and you have to move on with it. I understand that you are not ready to move on romantically, but I want you to at least try to be happy again. I love it when you're happy."
I smiled. Maybe I would be able to move on. Maybe my life wasn't really over because Dimitri was gone. I looked into his deep green eyes, "I'm ready."
He was surprised by my words. "Ready for what?"
"I'm ready to move on, and I want it to be with you."
Please Review. I have finished through chapter 4 but now I am stuck so I would love any suggestions you might have.
