I was crying alone in my room when I heard pounding on my door. I saw through the bond that it was Lissa and ignored it knowing she would let herself in with her key. Sure enough, I heard a click and the door opened. "Rose...what happened?"
"I can't do this," I cried out. "It's just too much, he's gone and so is my reason to go on."
"Rose, when I said you needed to move on, I didn't mean all at once like that. Take it slowly, hang out with him for a while."
"Lissa, you don't understand. He didn't just leave, he's dead. I killed him. My life is over."
"No, you're just at a new point. I know it hurts now but if you just take it little by little, it will get better."
There was another knock on the door. "Rose?"
"Come in Adrian." I called out.
He opened the door slowly and looked inside for a second before coming in. "Are you okay Rose?"
I wiped the tears from my eyes and took a deep breath. "No, I'm really not. I wanted to be with you Adrian, I still do. It just hurts too much."
"I understand Rose. I just wish you would have mentioned that earlier."
"I'm sorry." the tears were coming back. "Do you want to try again? Maybe take it a little slower this time?"
I could see in his eyes that he still loved me. He was worried and wanted me to be happy. "No. You need time to yourself. I don't want to make this harder for you, I just want you to be happy."
