Sorry it's taken so long to update. I've been applying for uni and getting ready for exams. Very stressful. But I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the vampire academy characters. Even though I wish I owned Dimitri :P

I would like to dedicate this to White Nightingale who has supported me throughout writing this fic.

I would also like to thank all of the reviewers for taking the time to tell me what you think, you guys keep me going. Please keep reviewing =]

Chapter 4 - You're My Angel

Dimitri and I spent hours walking around the grounds, being able to hold hands and kiss and cuddle without any prying eyes. We had to be careful not to be seen. "Dimitri. We have to talk." He looked extremely worried.

"About what?"

"Us."

"What about us?"

"We can't just keep hiding this. Soon it will come out. We have to figure out what to do." I had worry written all over my face.

"Hey, come here." He pulled me into his arms. "Don't worry about it. I'll think of something." He planted his lips on mine with such a gentle, loving kiss.

"You really are my angel. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Well you're never going to be without me, so it doesn't matter." he smiled. Rose. I need you Lissa's voice sounded in my head. "What's wrong?" Dimitri asked looking concerned.

"Lissa needs me. But I'll see you later won't I?"

"Of course." he smiled.

"I love you, Dimitri."

"I love you too, Roza." I kissed him one last time before racing to Lissa's room. I knocked on her door, waiting impatiently for her to open it. When she did she had a huge smile on her face.

"What's going on, Liss?" I said feeling suspicious about her happiness. I walked past her and sat on her bed waiting for her to close the door and join me on the bed. I didn't think it was possible but her smile grew even wider when she dropped down onto her bed. "Liss, you're freaking me out now. What's going on?"

"I have a boyfriend!" I swear I felt my jaw hit the floor.

"A boyfriend? Who?"

"Okay Rose don't freak out. It's Christian Ozera."

"Christian Ozera? Really?" I didn't know what to say. "What? When? Why? How? How is this possible? I didn't think you even knew him. How come you're going out with him? Don't just sit there looking at me. You have to explain." She laughed at me.

"Rose, I would explain if you gave me chance to get a word in."

"Sorry."

"It's okay. And I'm with Christian because we've got to know each other since we got back to St. Vladimir's and we really like each other."

"But Lissa is he safe?"

"What do you mean, Rose?"

"Well you know what happened to his parents." Anger bombarded me through the bond.

"Yeah! I know about his parents! And I wish people would stop using that against him! He refused to join them. And never agreed with what his parents did. So that is good enough for me."

"Liss, I'm not prejudiced against him. I'm just looking out for you. You're my sister in everything but blood. I don't want you to get hurt. If you say he's good, then I'll give him a chance."

"Thanks Rose. I really need your support in this. I can see that a lot of people are not going to agree with you though. I think we are in for a rough road."

"Well I will be with you there every step of the way." She through herself at me and embraced me in a hug.

"Thank you Rose. Love you."

"Love you too Liss. But I best be getting back to my fella." I said grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Ooooo. How's that going?" she asked, releasing me from her grasp.

"It's amazing. Obviously we have to keep it quiet, which I hate, but we will find a way to be together. We have to."

"Ahhh. I never thought I would see the day when you fell in love, and boy have you fell hard. I bet being separated from him for this short amount of time is killing you isn't it."

"You have no idea." I replied.

"Well I won't keep you any longer. Hurry up and go to him. I don't want to be held responsible for your depression." I jumped up and hugged her.

"Love you Liss!" I let go and ran out of her room before I gave her time to reply. I sped to my room to beautify myself before seeing Dimitri again. When I reached my room I opened my window to allow some fresh air in. I turned toward my wardrobe to pick out an outfit when I saw it. A folded piece of paper on my pillow. I slowly walked over and picked it up. Not sure whether I wanted to see what it contained. I opened it up and I couldn't believe what I was reading.

Rose,

I'm leaving and I'm not coming back.

Don't try to find me.

Please don't you dare.

Just live in my memory.

You'll always be there.

Love, Dimitri

I had read it a million times but the words still weren't sinking in. My heart felt as though it had been ripped from my chest. I felt incomplete. Like I'd never be whole again. How can he leave me? He loves me. My broken heart quickened as the tears began to fall. "No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I ripped open my bedroom door and raced through the corridors, bursting through the front door and speeding down the main drive. As I neared the gate I saw Dimitri talking to the guardian on duty. "Dimitri!" I screamed as I kept running. He saw me but got into the car as the other guardian closed the gates behind him. "No! Dimitri!" I finally reached the gates as he pulled off. I crashed into them screaming, "Wait! No!" The vision of his car disappearing into the distance became a blur as the tears continued to fall. My knees buckled under me and I fell to the floor crying my heart out. "No. No. No"

A/N: continue review please. The next instalment should be uploading soon. What will Rose do?
