Chapter 8

It was time to let him in . . .

I was nodding my head so he knew I was going to tell him.

He sat me on his lap and look at my face waiting patiently.

"When I was 17 I met my ex-boyfriend Adrian. We were dating for 8 months and I was great in the beginning. You see Adrian always had money I don't know how but he will take me out to expensive places and by me so many things. He would treat me like a princess." I said in a whisper. I looked at Dimitri and he gave me a soft kiss on the lips encouraging me to go on.

"I loved him. I thought what we had was real but I was wrong. He's been acting different for like a month until he finally showed me what's been on his mind. He's been drinking a lot and he smokes too.

At times when I stay over his house he would be drunk. I never liked it until he started to get more and more angrier. He would scream at me. One night we had gotten into an argument he slapped me across the face. That was the first time he ever laid a hand on me.

I guess Christian and Lissa knew something was up. But they never ask anything. Me and Adrian were still together. Even though mostly I end up getting hit every night. One night I was over at his house and that's when everything got worse. He did the usual screaming but he wanted more. You see I was a virgin when I met him and he used to never push me until that night. I wouldn't let him touch me so he beat me. He punches and kicks me so much.

My parents never found out about what he did, he always act so good around them. They still encourage me on dating them.

That same night he beat me he was touching me in every place you can think of. I would tell him no and beg him to stop but he didn't listen he would just slap me.

He ripped my clothes off and forces himself into me. He raped me that night. When he fell back to sleep I took all my power to get up and leave.

It was painful but I got out of the house and made it back to me. I was lucky that my parents weren't home. But Christian and Lissa were. I was pounding on the door for they can open. When they did they were all scared. They rushed me inside and begging for me to tell them what happened. And I finally told them. Christian was pissed off. Since that day I never saw Adrian again. But he did called and leave me message that freaked me out. He threatened and says so many things."

Dimitri wiped the tears that fell out of my eyes. He was quiet the whole time but I can tell he was ready to kill someone.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you baby." He said. He was holding me tight even though I am in pain but I just needed to be hold.

"It's alright."

"What's is his full name?" he asked.

Why would he want to know?

"Adrian Ivashkov."

The instant I said that he put that masked back up. I knew he knows something but I didn't question him.

"What happened that night at the club?" he asked.

"After the performance I went to get us a couple of shots until he found me. He tried to make me go with him until I said no. So he grabbed my arm painfully and I yelled to look go. I tried to see if I can find you but I couldn't. When he didn't let go I threw my arm back and punch him in his noise causing it to break.

He even got me angrier. I tried to run but he caught me by the waist and threw me over the shoulder. He took me out through the back and into an alley where he drops me on the ground. I still could feel the pain that went through me. When I tried to sit up he grabbed me by my hair and pulled me to him.

He hit me in the face hard and started to kick me in the stomach. He was swearing at me but I can't remember what he was saying. Then I heard someone yelled and that's when he grab my head and slammed me back down. Then I black out."

I was still crying but I'm I feel right that I'm opening up to Dimitri. When I looked at him his eyes where full of pain.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there. If I was there none of that would of happen." He apologizes.

"No don't blame yourself Dimitri. Don't. It's not your fault." I said.

I couldn't believe he was actually blaming himself. He didn't do anything.

He didn't know that he was there. Hell none of us did.

"That's what Lissa and Christian were talking about in the pool about if he called?"

"Yes." I said.

"Was it the same thing you were talking about in practice?" I looked down. While a tear fell down my cheek.

Dimitri put a finger on my chin softly and lifted my head up. He wiped the tear away.

"No it wasn't about that. It was about my other best friend Mason. He died a couple months ago in a car crash." I said quietly.

"I'm so sorry Roza." He apologizes.

"Don't be. It was my fault."

"Baby don't say that you did nothing wrong you couldn't prevent what happened to him."

I looked up to him again. "Yes I could Dimitri. I could have let him stay over instead of driving home. He would be here if I had let him. I could've given him a chance too."

"What do you mean?" he was confused now.

"Mason liked me for years but I never gave him a chance. After everything that happened with Adrian I wasn't ready for another relationship. But he cared so much about me and he protected me. i never had saw him more than friends but I could at least try."

"Roza you couldn't help it. You weren't ready. It was not your fault. You cannot let this bring you down."

"I know." I said. I laid my head on his shoulder. While his arms wrapped around me kissing my hair.

"I will protect you."

"I know." I said again.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.

"Ahh we been asleep for while it's 7 p.m." I jumped out of bed so fast I lost my balance. Before my face was about to hit the floor Dimitri caught me.

"Roza you have to rest. Come on." No way I am going to stay in bed all day.

"No. Please Dimitri I can't stay in bed all day. I would think about everything that happened. I don't want to I just want to move on and be happy." I begged.

He looked thoughtful. "Okay. Come on let's get some food." Just in time when we hear my stomach growl so loud. I blushed in embarrassment.

He laughed at me while I blush deeper.

We made it down the stairs and see the whole gang eating.

"Rose is awake. Everyone hide your food!" he smirked at me. I playfully glared at him while everyone laughed. He knew I wouldn't want to talk about it and want to move on.

"Shut it sparky!" Dimitri wrapped his arms around my waist and everyone saw. But Mia was the one who gasped.

"You're a couple now?" she asked.

"Yep." Dimitri spoke while popping the "p" and gave me a kiss on the lips while I turned around to look for some food.

I decided to make me and Dimitri a sandwich. While I was making them Lissa and Christian came over and gave me a hug.

"You are okay?" asked Lissa

"Yeah me and Dimitri just talked but I'll be fine." They just nodded their heads.

"Let's have a campfire out in the back?" Christian asked everyone. We all nodded our head or said 'yeah'.

"Are there going to be smores?" I ask. Everyone laughed again and I pouted.

"Only you would ask Rose but yes there would be," said Christian.

"Yes!" I yelled and they laughed again. Man why is everyone laughing. Whatever.

"Let's go out back." Christian said.

"Wait I'll be out in one second I'm just going to go get my guitar." I said.

"Okay." They all said.

I went up the stairs the fastest pace I can go because of my ribs. Once in my room I grabbed my guitar and head my way to the back yard.

It was dark out already and looked so beautiful out because of the stares and the moon shining.

I saw everyone out around the fire cooking their marshmallows. I sat down right next to Dimitri and he put his arm around my shoulders.

"Here I made you a smore already." Dimitri handed me a smore.

"Thanks babe." I gave him a kiss on the cheek while he smiled.

"How about Rose would like to sing us a song." said Eddie.

"How about everyone sing." I said. We all nodded our heads.

"Dimitri can you play guitar and start us off." I asked him.

"Sure Roza." He gave me a kiss and started to play softly and looked at me while singing.

Dimitri: So let's sing na, na na na na, hey ya
Come on and sing na, na na na na, hey ya

Rose and Dimitri: This is our song that's all that matter cause

Once we finished we all were smiling and laughing. Christian and Lissa were smiling at each other.

In the corner of my eye I saw Eddie and Mia kiss. I turned my head to Dimitri.

He smiled beautifully at me and I smiled back. He was holding me by the waist now.

I turned to see everyone. This was my family . . .
