I see you
Chapter 4
Dimitri points of view
Rose, quickly fell asleep whilst lying in my arms, I was livid and angry for Rose. When, Rose spoke about how her whole family (especially her dad) have been treating her since mother's death. It did not surprise me that Rose attended performing arts school prior to her mother's death. (The memory of listing to her sing beautifully earlier this morning came back to me causing me to smile.)
I knew instantly what I had to do, quietly laying Rose down gently on her hospital bed. Rose was now smiling in her sleep she was humming a tune. Taking, the phone out of a pocket in my duster, it broke my heart to see her so vulnerable.
After watching her quietly for a few seconds, carefully but quietly I opened the door shutting gently so that I did not disturb Rose.
Half an hour later
Standing outside the hospital, I phoned my mother and told her where I was. The school had called to say that there had been an incident and that I had gone off in an ambulance.
Mum quickly berated me for not phoning her instantly. Nevertheless, when I told what had happened she quickly relented and said she would be on her way. So here, I stand to wait for my mother to arrive when I get pushed up against a wall.
It was Roses father.
"Belikov, I presume, well my name is Abe Mazur, and as my darling stepdaughter, Carly told you earlier. From what I have been told, walk away from Rosemarie. I cannot have Rosemarie having anyone to pity her and spread lies that I hurt her because I certainly do not. So boy if you walk away now, I will forget that this little meeting ever took place. "Roses father spat as I pulled his fingers off my long duster.
Then, he just stood there look and laughed at me, causing my anger to reach boiling point.
"You silly boy you have fallen for Rosemarie haven't you,you poor deluded boy, why to choose some like Rosemarie who deserves nobody" his words were cut off as my fist made contact with his face. Blood, fell down his face as I started shouting, not caring who heard me".
"My name is Dimitri Belikov, yes I like Rose, and I am her friend which is no of your concern. You say that you have not hurt her but, You are one sick individual if you think that because while you are not physically hurting her. You are most certainly hurting her mentally.
This is after everything she has been through with being made to leave her friends behind and losing her mother to the car accident last year. (Abe tried to punch me as it seems that I hit a nerve.)
She needed and still needs you, yet your off playing happy families with people who hurt your daughter" I screamed the last part on Abe's face. This gave him the optioned to push me over and start punching me.
I managed to fight off his hold, just as I heard someone screaming, then I felt strong hands pull us apart. Looking up I saw that it was the police, one of the police officers made sure I was calm. Whilst the other police officer walked over to Abe as two other police officers walked up to Rose's stepmother and Carly.(Who now looked bewildered and not so smug, then I realised at it was them who had been screaming) were to my surprise being arrested, I had not realised that the police were already present in the hospital and it looks like they have spoken to Rose.
Words, could not describe the feeling I felt when. I saw that Rose is finally being able to get justice but I knew that this was far from over.
My, Mother who had apparently arrived the same time as the police walked over to me and hugged me tightly.
The police officer told her, they needed to speak to me about what had happened and just now and with Rose.
Mother was told to wait inside the hospital, she relented but agreed.
After, Mother walked inside, the police officer who called herself Alberta took a hold of my arm and pulled me inside, we made our way to a side room. Where, I told Alberta everything about what had happened at school, and here at the hospital. Nevertheless, it did not make the slightest bit of difference that I had been punched as long as I got help for my Rose.
Rose's point of view (Whilst Dimitri was outside)
Falling, asleep in Dimitri's arms were heaven for the first in over a year, I had no nightmares.
Surprisingly, I found two women police officers called Sonya and Alberta by my hospital bed when I woke up.
"Dimitri, where's Dimitri" I cried out as Alberta took my hand into hers and smiled sadly.
"Dimitri is outside by the hospital entrance waiting for his mother, Now Rose would you like to tell me what has happened to today. (Shaking in fear, as the memories of what happened today come flood my memory) It's ok Rose when you are ready just take deep breaths." Alberta said as following her instructions I calmed down but felt tears running down my bruised cheeks.
Inhaling, a deep breath, retold both the Officers what I have to go through every day at school, also at home.
"Don't worry Rose we will arrest those involved and have you placed somewhere safe. Nobody is going to hurt you ever again Rose." Alberta said as Sonya's radio went off requesting backup at the front of the hospital.
The doctor walked back into the hospital room along with the nurse as Alberta and Sonya exited the room.
As the doctor asked me how I am feeling and then told me that I was to be here a few days at least. The nurse instructed to give me some pain relief smiled at me and then left with the doctor. She soon came back and before I could ask about Dimitri once more, the darkness consumed for its own as the medication took a hold.
The next time I woke up Dimitri was sat in the chair next to my bed, along with an older woman who smiled at me, at the same time Dimitri did.
"How are you feeling sweet Roza?" Dimitri asked me making me blush profusely. Sitting up in my bed gently I could see Dimitri have a slight bruise on his right cheek.
"All is better now that you back, what happened to your face." Asking with panic in my voice forgetting the woman sat next to Dimitri, who was being incredibly patient.
"Nothing that won't heal Roza, this is my mother Olena she wanted to come and meet you," Dimitri said as he smiled.
"Hello Roza, I am so pleased to meet you, at last, Dimitri has told me wonderful things about you. I actually knew your mother she was a wonderful woman. I can see you are just like her Roza, kind, and a good heart. Dimitri told me what has gone on this past year since your mother's passing and I was wondering if you would like to be part of our family." Olena asked embracing my fragile body in a hug, tears fell more quickly and frequently from my eyes astonished by her kindness.
"Why would you want to take someone like me in? I am broken and do not deserve any love especially from someone as kind and gently as you Olena. " I asked as Olena took my face in her hands wiping away my tears just as Dimitri had done earlier. Gently, she pulled me back into her arms and spoke so quietly.
"Roza you deserve to have everything in life and I can see how close you are getting with Dimitri. In addition, I know what it is like to be hurt repeatedly by the people we hold most dear to us. When the whole family and myself moved , mother helped me ,we never meet Rose because you were away at school. I can't tell you how proud of you,she was and she would want to be happy and have the best out of life. So please let myself and Dimitri help you, Roza, besides I would love to have another person to take care of so please say yes." Olena asked as she stepped back leaving me sitting on the hospital bed.
Once, Olena sat back down on the chair, Dimitri took my hands in his.
"Please Rose come and live with us, plus we live in your old neighbourhood so Mother tells me that means you can be closer to the place where I could see you for you. What do you say My Roza", Dimitri asked me the smile on his face was illuminating.
"I would love to be part of your family if you will have Olena" my voice broke as Dimitri hugged me then his mother. Olena, held me in her arms as Dimitri looked on happily. For once things are looking up for me.
An: Here is Chapter 4 of I see you. My apologies for it being very late, I found this chapter hard to write. I found writing the showdown between Abe and Dimitri difficult but I tried my best, but then I had the idea to bring Olena into the story. Therefore, I am going to try to update more but as I am not well and on a lot of strong medication there might be a gap in-between updates. I hope that that will not happen.
Thank you, to all those that have reviewed, liked and are following my story, it means so much to me.
Next chapter; Rose meets the rest of the Belikov family, also Abe will be showing remorse. Also a special moment for Rose and Dimitri.
I hope you liked this chapter
