Rose's POV

I could hear the banging against my door but I refused to answer. I just stayed in my bed knowing Adrian would just have Lissa use her key at some point. Sure enough, 5 minutes later, I heard a click and the door opened.

"Go away! Just leave me alone!" I yelled from under my blanket.

"Rose, can we please talk to you?" I was surprised when the voice was not that of Adrian or Lissa's, but actually that of my mother's. I sat up slowly and pulled the blanket off my head, only to be even more surprised to see who was there with my mother. Abe.

I had just recently learned that Abe was my father and was surprised to see him here in my room after 18 years of being M.I.A..

"What do you want?" I moaned as I flopped back down against the bed covering my head with my pillow.

The blanket was pulled off, and I saw my mother sitting above me. "Rose, Lissa told me you tried to kill yourself. Now I don't know what..."

Oh my gosh! I can't believe she told her. "Exactly!" I shouted sitting up real fast and cutting her off. "You don't know. You don't know what happened because you don't know me. You were gone for the first 17 years of my life. You have no idea how I feel about anything! I loved Dimitri! I had to follow him to Russia and kill him! Now he is gone and I have nothing left. I wish I could have gone with him." I fall back down on the bed crying as she is frozen with shock. The first time she had ever not had something to say back. I am too upset to realize what I have just told her.

"You...what?! Guardian Belikov was 7 years older than you Rose. You didn't love him and he didn't love you. If anyone, he loved Tasha."

"NO!" I screamed. "See?! You don't understand at all! I loved him and he loved me! Why do you think I slept with him?! And don't say because I'm a tramp. I was a virgin. He was my first." Again she was speechless. I just covered my head with my blanket again and yelled, "Go away! Both of you! Just leave me alone!"

Adrian's POV

I knew Rose wasn't going to let me in but I had to talk to her. I decided she wouldn't be able to slam a door in my face if I were in her dream.

I sat down in my bed and began to focus. After a few trys, I finally got her. "Rose!"

She let out a cry of frustration, "Why can't anyone just leave me alone?!"

"Please listen to me Rose. I know you are tired of us saying we are trying to help but we really do care and want you to be happier. I know you miss him and it hurts but there was nothing else you could have done. It's over now and you need to move on. I know you will never forget about him or even stop loving him but that doesn't mean you should let that take over your life."

Rose's POV

I knew he was right but I didn't want to admit it. This whole thing was really messing with my head. I wanted to move on but at the same time, I was devastated over losing Dimitri.

"I guess I will leave you alone now." he said.

"Wait!" I said quickly as I ran to him and threw my arms around him crying into his chest. "I'm sorry I've been acting like a bitch. It just hurts so much, but I really do want to move on."

He was still for a moment before he wrapped his arms around me. "I know this is hard for you Rose. I just don't like seeing you so hurt like this. Do you have any idea what would have happened if Lissa and I hadn't found you in time? I would have been devastated and after a while of getting drunk and spirit crazy, I would probably have ended up just the same. I can't live without knowing that you are okay. I love you, even if you can never love me back. I..."

I cut him off by pushing my lips against his in a passionate kiss. He hesitated for only a moment before pulling away.

"Rose..." he was very confused right now. "I thought..."

"You were right Adrian. He is gone. I miss him but there is nothing I can do about it now. It still hurts but I need to move on, and I do care about you. I've always felt something for you, I just couldn't admit it. Even to myself. Now I realize...I love you."

With that, he pulled me into his arms and kissed my lips just as passionately as I had earlier. We kissed for several minutes but I wanted more. I felt bad about what I'd done to him in the cabin and wanted to make it up to him. I pulled away.. "Adrian?"

"Yes...?" he asked nervously.

"It feels weird doing this in a dream. Come to my room. Now." I kissed him again for a moment before reluctantly pulling away "Oh, and Adrian...one more thing..."

"What would that be?" he asked.

"Bring condoms."
