Most everyone guessed it right, one person said Abe or Adrian an I almost changed it to Adrian because I never thought about her going to his house but I ended up deciding to stay with the original idea.
As always please Read and Review and I hope you all like the chapter!
VPOV:
After a while I started to get worried about where Rose was. I know her and Dimitri were talking but I figured she would have texted or something by now. I went back to where Dimitri and Rose last were only to find Dimitri sitting on the damp ground alone.
"Where's Rose?" I asked.
"I don't know we got into a fight…a bad one, and she ran off…" he said not looking up from the ground.
"What did you say to her?" I asked worried last time she ran off she got seriously hurt and I know her, if she was hurt by something Dimitri had told her she wouldn't be thinking clearly. He didn't answer so I yelled it at him, "GOSH DANG IT Dimitri WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER?"
"I told her Tasha was right ok?" he yelled back. "It really doesn't matter what I told her does it?"
"You freaking idiot!" I told him for getting into a fight with her, before running off to find Lissa.
"Lissa, I need your help! Rose ran off because her and Dimitri got in a fight. Do you know where she normally goes when she's upset?" I asked. At this the rest of the group surrounded us worried about Rose also.
"Ummm usually parks or places like that…"
"No I don't think she would go there, not if she knows we'll be looking for her. It's too obvious," Ivan said thoughtfully. We sat there in silence for a minute all of us contemplating when suddenly Lissa's face brightened up.
"Abe! She trusts him, he's rescued her before and you showed her where he lives earlier. She doesn't really have anywhere else to go. So why not go to someone who she trusts and is accessible."
"That's great! Good thinking! Ok I'll go to Abe's house see if she's there and if she is I'll try to talk to her. I'll let you know how it goes." I told them before running off.
RPOV:
After the gate opened, I ran to the door and pounded on it until he opened it. He took one look at me and quickly pulled me into a warm embrace while I cried my eyes out on his doorstep. Soon he pulled me inside and we sat on his couch with him still holding me.
"Want to tell me what happened?"
"Not really but I probably should. You need some reason for a random teenager randomely showing up at your doorstep bawling her eyes out," I said with a half laugh. Then I began to tell him everything starting with how horrible Stan was then what Jesse did and finally everything that happened today. It felt good to tell somebody besides Dimitri.
"I just want to get away," I mumbled at the end. All of a sudden there was a buzzing on some intercom looking thing.
"That's the gate," he told me.
"Don't answer that if it's Dimitri," I warned. He asked who it was.
"It's Viktoria! Is Rose there? I promise Dimitri isn't with me!" he looked at me questioningly and I nodded telling him to let her in. she quickly was knocking on the door. Abe opened it and she barged right in.
"What the hell happened? I go to check on you two only to find you got in an argument. Lissa suggested looking for you here and now I find you here crying. I thought you'd be ecstatic they broke up!"
I couldn't help but smile a little at her when she said 'crying' as if I wasn't allowed to cry, which in her defense she's barely seen it. I looked at Abe silently telling him to give us a few minutes. He nodded and walked upstairs while I pulled Vika to the living room with me and sat on the couch.
"Well thanks to Tasha Dimitri believes that it is my fault that Tasha cheated on him."
"What that's insane!" she said in disbelief.
"Before I tell you the whole thing, I have to tell you what happened the night Tasha cheated," I told her before bracing myself. I had already relived this too many times tonight and I wasn't sure I'd make it through it again. "That night, Lissa a few of my friends and I all decided to go to a party. While there somehow this guy named Jesse drugged me and got me in a room. Before I even knew what was going on he had half of my clothes off. I was too out of it to do anything about it but I was trying. Fortunately our friend Aaron had saw me going upstairs with Jesse following and knew something was up. I couldn't stand Jesse before that night so it was completely illogical for me to go to a room with him. Right before he was actually about to…well you know…Aaron and our other friend Jonathan busted the door down and pulled Jesse away. While Aaron was fighting Jesse off Jonathan managed to put his jacket on me and get me out of the room. He put me in his car then ran to check on Aaron. I later found out that Aaron ended up going to the hospital with a concussion but they didn't tell me that till the next day.
"Luckily the idiot didn't give me enough to last very long so I was quickly able to function again. At my insistence Lissa took me to my house but when I got there Stan, my step-dad, was drunk. My mom was out of town so it was just me and him there that weekend. He started calling me a slut and a whore and when I smarted off he punched me. After that I ran upstairs and locked myself in my room. I called Dimitri and when he heard how upset I was he left the party he was at to talk to me. I told him all about what happened and he stayed up almost all night talking me through it," I smiled a little thinking about his reaction. "He actually wanted to jump on the first plane but by then I had calmed down enough to talk him out of it."
Vika sat there for a minute with shock on her face before she finally spoke. "I'm really sorry you went through that and kind of mad you never told me but I understand. That's horrible and all but, I don't get how this makes it your fault that Tasha cheated?"
"Well out of his anger I think he forgot why I had called him and said that if it weren't for me and my selfish pointless drama then he would have never left Tasha and she wouldn't have been lonely enough to sleep with someone else."
"That's insane! Is he stupid or just plain dumb?" she asked in frustration. I just shrgged not answering. "Did you remind him why you called that night?"
"No…what was the point? He made it clear how he felt about everything earlier. No use bringing up my pointless drama," I told her defeated.
"Rosemarie Hathaway that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!" she half-yelled at me. "Dimitri loves you whether he's too stupid to admit it or not. When he realizes just how stupid he's being he'll be begging for your forgiveness."
"I doubt that. He doesn't love me, who could blame him?" I said softly.
"You don't believe that anymore than I do."
"You didn't see the anger and hatred in his eyes, it was horrible. I have never seen him look so angry and broken. I just took his future away."
"Would it have been better to let him live a lie and be cheated on the rest of his life?"
"Maybe, at least he would have been ignorantly happy,"
"He would have been miserable! He was already miserable with her and they weren't even married yet!"
"It doesn't matter anymore. It's too late. He knew how sensitive I am, yet he still said all of those horrible things, that proves he doesn't love me."
"Or maybe he wasn't thinking about what he was saying and was just speaking out of anger?"
"I doubt that. If he said it on some level he really does mean it. The truth always comes out when emotions are high." I said softly. About then Vika's phone rang.
"Sorry it's my mom I have to get it," she said before answering. "Hi mama what's wrong?...Ok, I'll be right there…"
"Everything ok?" I asked.
"Yea she needs to go to the store but she's babysitting and Paul is about to lay down. Apparently Dimitri hasn't left his room since he got home and your mom is out visiting some friends or something so I need to go babysit. I would ask if you want to come but I'm guessing with Dimka that's not a good idea. Are you going to be ok here by yourself?"
"I'll be fine, I have Abe here and if I need anything I'll call you." I said giving her a half smile.
"He does love you Rose. Just wait till he calms down and you'll see." She said reassuringly. She hugged me and then ran out the door. I went in front of the stairs and hollered at Abe.
"Yes, Kizim?" he asked.
"Which room can I stay in?" I demanded not even asking if I could but, hey I knew he'd let me.
"Pick any you want, are you hungry or anything?" he asked coming down the stairs.
"No just tired, it's been a long day. I think I just want to go lay down for a bit."
"Ok well my room is downstairs, but all the rest are upstairs. Holler if you need anything," he said. I nodded ok and headed upstairs. I went to the last room on the right wanting to be as alone as possible. I didn't even look around to see what the room looked like, just went straight to the bed and laid down.
I was back at the Belikovs. Dimitri and I were sitting outside swinging on the porch swing when all of a sudden Paul ran up and hit my leg.
"Tag!" he shouted. I quickly hit Dimitri and yelled "tag!" and took off running. Dimitri quickly caught up. He grabbed me around the waist and spun me around causing me to laugh, he laughed along with me until all of a sudden we heard.
"DIMKA!" in the high pitched squeal that only belongs to one person. He hastily put me down and we looked in her direction. "Dimka, come on. The baby needs you!"
Dimitri looked at me then walked to Tasha.
"Dimitri what are you doing? Why are you going with her?" I asked in shock. "I thought you loved me?"
"I could never love you Rose. We're just friends…well not even friends anymore. You're too selfish…plus who would ever love you?" he said in disgust. He quickly turned to Tasha and kissed her then looked at me with that familiar look of hatred. Before turning and walking away with Tasha.
I just stood and watched them leave with tears streaming down my face.
I quickly awoke with a gasp. I noticed my face was covered in tears. I wiped them away and looked at the clock only to find I had only been out for maybe an hour. I knew I wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon. I took a look around the room and found a window with a balcony. I grabbed my phone and headphones and headed out there. There was a cement barrier that formed a half circle around the balcony. I went to one of the corners that was attached to the wall and climbed up. I leaned my back against the wall and pulled my knees up in front of me. I put my headphones in and turned on Pandora radio. I didn't pay attention to the station and didn't even really pay attention to any words of the music. I just sat there, numb, with tears still pouring down my face. I sat there for who knows how long. Suddenly a familiar sounding song came on, I didn't pay attention to the first verse but the bridge and chorus hit me hard.
"Right before your eyes,
I'm breaking, no cause
No reasons why,
Just you and me.This is the last time I'm asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I'm asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye."
The song broke my heart all over again. I would never be at the top of Dimitri's list. I will probably never be at the top of anyone's list. Hell I'm not even at the top of my own mothers, her job is. Who could really blame her though? I wasn't worth being at the top of the list, nobody wants to love the selfish home wrecker.
It's ironic how the parts of the song are true. I am breaking but nobody cares enough to notice. Somehow I managed to give Dimitri the power to shatter me with one conversation. He literally broke my heart in the blink of an eye, just like the song says. I just don't know if I'll ever recover. I've been damaged before but never completely broke. It's one thing to hear those things from a man you despise, another to hear it from the person you love with our whole heart.
Dpov:
I was sitting in my room not thinking about anything just laying there. It was like once all the anger was gone there was nothing. All of a sudden my door bangs open and I look up to find a very pissed looking Viktoria glaring at me, I sat up and looked at her confused before she stormed right up to me before slapping me hard across the face.
"Dimitri Belikov! Do you have any idea just how stupid you are?" she hollered.
"What are you talking about Vika?" I said exasperated grabbing my cheek.
"I'm talking about trying to blame Rose for your cheating manipulative ex!" she said as if it were obvious.
"Well I'm not lying she is the one who had me distracted with her silly drama. It's also my fault for not being able to tell her no. I should have been focusing on Tasha she was my girlfriend."
"Yes and Rose is your best friend! Are you really not allowed to leave Tasha for one night to take care of your BEST FREAKING FRIEND? She really couldn't be faithful because you left her for ONE night? You really don't remember why Rose called you that night do you?"
"Does it matter?" I asked.
"YES it matters you idiot. Rose told me why she called you that night and honestly I'm very surprised you could forget. Think about it what happened to Rose a few months ago? Still don't get it? Here let me give you a clue! It involved Jesse almost raping her and Stan punching her!"
I shot straight up when she said that. "Oh my God I am an idiot!"
"Ding ding ding!" she said frustrated. I can't believe I didn't remember that.
"I was so mad…not really at Rose, just at Tasha, at the whole situation. I didn't even stop to think about anything…and then I took all my frustration out on Rose," I said realizing just how idiotic I really was.
"Yea now she's freaking breaking down, thinking you hate her, and that everything is her fault."
"She's never going to forgive me after everything I said. She trusted me and I broke that trust, I knew how vulnerable she was and what did I do? I go and freaking call her names and say all of those hurtful things to her."
"She'll forgive you, Rose isn't that vulnerable. Hurt and upset but she's tough." she said.
"No you don't understand! Her self-esteem was barely even existent as it was then I go and practically destroy what's left of it!"
"What do you mean barely existent? Rose is the last person I would expect to have low self-esteem. She's way too confident for that."
"Because it's a front. She pretends to be confident so people wont know what's going on but freaking Stan has been slowly shredding her esteem for years…to the point it's barely there. She was healing and getting better but I could have just destroyed all of her progress,"
"That's what she meant when she said you knew how sensitive she is…Why didn't she ever tell me?"
"She didn't want anyone's pity…she didn't even tell Lissa. I'm the only one who knows about Stan."
"Well you need to figure out a way to fix this Dimitri, She's head over heels in love with you and I know you love her too whether you want to admit it or not. Fix it now before it's too late if it's not already," she said before walking out of my room.
I sat back down on my bed and thought about everything she said earlier. Saying she loved me but that I deserve better than her. Now she thinks I don't care about her or even love her. That's the furthest thing from the truth I've been trying to fight and pretend that I don't love her because I didn't think it was fair to Tasha, but in reality I'm pretty sure I've been in love with my Roza since the day we first met.
I quickly stood up grabbed my keys and ran out the door. Vika was right I had to fix this and fast!
RPOV:
I was getting cold so I took my earbuds out and went back inside. Distantly I could hear a raised voice so I crept out of the room I was in and softly walked down the hallway. At the top of the stairs I could hear Dimitri yelling.
"I know you think you have some stupid claim over her because you're her biological father, but honestly sir you don't now please let me see her!" he yelled at Abe.
"What did you just say?" I managed to get out. The last thing I remember was Dimitri looking up at me in shock.
By the way the song clip used in this is "The Last Time" by Taylor Swift featuring Gary Lightbody
