so a shout out to D. kelly and goldenmoonlight007

you guys keep reviewing :) makes me happy (:

Rose must have told Lissa where we were through the bond, because soon after Lissa was sitting with us. No one was saying anything but I could see Rose starting to calm down.

"I'll be back soon" I told both girls as I stood up. I needed to find Tasha and talk to her. What she'd done was unacceptable. She understood why I had been practically AWAL this week and this was probably her twisted way of getting me to spend more time with her. That's what the point of today was supposed to be. Introduce Rose to everyone, spend more time with her. I had missed Tasha, probably not as much as I should have, but she ruined that and my trust. My phone vibrated indicating I had a message, from Tasha.

Baby, where are you? I typed a reply telling her to meet me in the garden outside the church. I didn't have to wait long before I spotted her running across the quad to get to me. She kissed me before she sat down next to me. "Where'd you go baby? The game was no fun with you around." She was playing innocent – great.

"Tasha you knew, I trusted you with the truth about her, and I told you she was in a fragile state at the moment. I trusted you, because that's what you do when you're in a relationship, you trust. Tasha, you've broken my trust."

"Dimka" she whispered as she stroked my cheek. "I thought, I thought she was fine, she looked happy when you guys walked in, I didn't know, I- I'm sorry." I sighed and moved away from her. There was a part of me that knew she was lying, but because we've been together do long, there was a larger part that was saying I should hear her out and give her another chance. Could I do that?

"Tasha, you can't just go crazy jealous like that because I've been spending time with someone that needs me." Crazy jealous? Is that what she was? Yes, she was.

"But you've been ignoring me." She sounded so sad and I had to remind myself she was a good liar.

"Yeah, well maybe that isn't such a bad thing" I muttered. "Look Tasha, no one's supposed to know who Rose is at the moment, Kirova wants it that way, and I've already gone behind her back by getting Lissa to undo the compulsion. I trusted you so you could help me with her, be her friend, but you didn't do that. You did the complete opposite and you've made her feel so bad. What were you hoping to get from this?"

"My boyfriend" she whispered. "I just want you back Dimka, and I don't mean to be jealous, but you've spent all week with another girl, even though I knew what was happening, I can't help my feelings, I can't just not care. I love you baby."

"I think we need to seriously think about our feelings before we see each other again. Think everything through and you can text me when you are one hundred per cent positive this is going to work and you're not going to act that way again." I stood up and started walking away when I heard her speak.

"Baby you're wrong. We don't need to think about anything. We just need to be together again." I acted like I didn't hear her and walked away. She didn't need to do much thinking. I was the one that needed to do all the thinking. She knew her feelings, she loved me. I had no idea what my feelings for Tasha were anymore. She'd probably text me later today saying she wouldn't do it again, but I wouldn't believe it. She made Rose sad, after I got so far with her in just a week.

I went for a walk in the woods, not concentrating on where I was going, just walking – thinking about my entire relationship with Tasha, and what it meant. She'd chased me for years, I didn't give her a second glance because I was too focused on my training – training to kill the strigoi that killed my family. She finally caught my attention at last years, commencement dance. So we'd been together for a little over a year, but I didn't love her, not yet. She said she loved me, but it seemed that I was more like a trophy to her. She landed to hottest guy in school. She was beautiful, she could have anyone she wanted, someone she actually cared about, but it was like she chose me just so nobody else could have me. Before me, she was known for sneaking around with guys and she'd had a long relationship with a moroi named Jesse, but as soon as I came to the school everything changed.

I don't think this was ever about love to her, everything she did, it was calculated, like she was playing a game of chess and we were all her pawns. What was she after? Status? She had plenty of that, she was a royal moroi. Her brother Christian wasn't anything like her.

Whatever her motive was, I didn't care. I was going to break up with her. She had too many flaws and I didn't like the person I'd recently discovered she was. When we met she was nice, caring, beautiful, but for an unknown reason, she changed. And now that I'd taken the time to really think about whom she was, I didn't like her. I never should have liked her.

But I did like Rose, and I wasn't going to let Tasha ruin her. I would champion Rose, whether she felt the same way or not. One day... one day I will win over Rose's heart.

I was still walking in the forest when my phone vibrated. I already knew it would be from Tasha.

Baby, I'm so sorry for what I did. I promise to never act like that again, I just want you back. Can we talk? I'm still outside the church.

I love you,

Tasha.

I didn't want to see her, but I needed to break up with her, before I could convince myself that I was being stupid about her using everyone for her own personal gain.

I'm coming to talk.

I walked back over to the church and sure enough she was where I had left her. She looked relieved when she saw me. I sighed and sat down, bracing myself for the shit storm that was sure to come.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What do you think?
