I know it's sooooo overdue ,, but it's here now !

I was reading over the last two chapters and realised something : Rose tells Dimtiri that her Mum kicked her Dad out two years ago but they split up when she was 10 .

So the answer to that is : Rose's Mum 'let' him stay in the house because it is so big and she's never there anyway. So , two years ago , she kicked him out and that's when he moved to Hawaii !

Dimitri's POV.

The day that Rose and I met, she gave an MP3 that Christian had won full of Eminem songs. He's a pretty good artist and I think that he's become my favourite musician. It has been about three months since that day and now Christian, her, Viktoria, my older sister, and I all go to the same school. St. Catherine's Private School. I still haven't met her mystery boyfriend, Drew. I had actually been doubting if he was actually real when I heard a piercing scream coming from next door. I didn't even think about it, I ran out of my room and jumped the fence, heading straight to the back door. I found her in the lounge room. On the floor and a tall, pale, guy with raven hair standing over her with a scowl in his face.

Rose was huddled on the floor, backed into the corner. Her eye was swollen and nose and lip were both bloody. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he'd just hit her. Without even thinking about it, I rushed forward and started punching him. He was shocked for a second, then started fighting back. He was pretty fast but nine years of forced Karate and Ty Quan Do made me faster. To make it worse, his moves were quite predictable. I socked him a few times in the ribs and face before he got tired. Taking the chance, I pinned him to the floor with his hands under his neck. From personal experience, I knew that this was quite painful.

"Who are you and why did you hit Rose?" I demanded.

"Like I'm going to tell you anything, you son of a bitch!" he growled. This pissed me off so I hit him again in the face. He grunted with the pain.

"Answer my questions or I'll do it again," I warned. Rose, who I had forgotten about, got up and tried to pull me up. I shrugged her off.

"Answer my fucking question!" I yelled. He flinched but stayed silent.

"His name is Drew. Meet my boyfriend," Rose answered for him.

"Are you fucking serious! This jackass is your boyfriend?" I said, looking at her. She nodded.

"That doesn't explain why he hit you," I said hotly. Instead of answering me, she just looked at her feet. I turned back to Drew.

"Why the fuck did you hit her?" Rose just grabbed my arm and successfully pulled me off him.

"Get the fuck out of here, Drew. You ever talk to me again, you'll have Dimitri and Chris to deal with," she snarled at him and led me up to her room. We had just stepped through the door when I pounded her with questions.

"Why the fuck did he hit you? How long has he been doing that? You do know it's illegal?" Instead of answering me, she just sat on the bed and started crying. She nodded.

"I know it's illegal for him to hit me like that," she said. The sight of her tears tugged at my heart. I was getting really agitated, though. Why wouldn't she tell me why he hit her?

"Rose, why won't you tell me why he hit you?" I asked her softly.

"Because I'm embarrassed. I am such a screw up that I have a girl basher for a boyfriend."

"Has he hit you before this?" She nodded again.

"Nearly every time we see each other," she replied, wiping her eye gently.

"Why? Why do you put up with it and more importantly why does he do it?"

"Because he can!" she yelled, standing up.

"Why do you care, anyway? No one else does!" she cried and rushed into the bathroom. I hear the door lock behind her. I breathed in deeply then exhaled before walking over to the door and knocking.

"Rose, open the door. Why are you being so difficult?" I asked her.

"Just go, Dimitri. Thanks for standing up for me, but I need some time alone," she replied. Just go? Like hell. I walked back to the bed and sat down. I sat there for about an hour before she came out. I was lying across the bed when she walked out. When I heard her opening the door, I sat straight up. I gasped when I saw her.

"Oh, my God. What are you still doing here?" she screamed. Her face had healed. There wasn't a mark left on her. She looked like she did normally.

"I think that what happened to your face is a more important question. How did the cuts heal so quickly?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"That's what I want to know. It has happened since as long as I can remember," she said, exhaling deeply.

"Dimka! Dinner is on the table! Get your ass home!" Karolina yelled. I stood up.

"This conversation isn't over," I told her as I walked out of the room. I had never seen anything so weird.
