First of a big thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter! I wanted to let you guys know that I finally know what I'm going to do with this story. If you read Fallen by Lauren Kate you'll probably understand what I'm going to say next if you didn't you might be a little confused. So after I finish Fallen instead of doing all the books(Torment, Passion, Rapture) I'm going to sort of merge them all in one. So that mean that Rose won't be going to another boarding school or traveling in the announcers like Luce. Bits and pieces from Rapture will be kept. But from now on the story will not be exactly like the books. I know that I've put a few of my own twists on the story but no the only thing it will have in common with the story it's based off is the plot. I will be writing the entire storyline now. Also the sequels for Fallen will all be posted in this story. I hope I didn't confuse any of you!

Now to the story, Enjoy!(:
Kissing Dimitri last night had to be one of the best moments of my life. I know it sounds incredibly cheesy to compare one kiss to an entire seventeen years of life. But that moment truly felt . . . perfect.
And I mean just that moment, because after that Dimitri went crazy. It wasn't like him, I expected him to either be over the moon or completely pissed. But he seemed scared. No, not scared, petrified. After our kiss he spent the entire time looking at me and whispering how something was wrong.
There was a point where he was shaking so much, he looked like he was about to cry. So I did the only thing I could think of, I pulled him into my arms and held him. I don't know why he was acting that way, It doesn't make sense.
I must have fallen asleep holding him or something because the next thing I know I'm waking up in my bed. For a second I truly believed I dreamt it all. The only sign of conformation that it all really happened was the note he left on my nightstand.
It basically said to meet him at our trail. And yes, he did say our trail.
I had made up my mind to meet up with him, I was so excited. But the moment I stepped out of my room and saw another note attached to my door.
Well, shit just got complicated.
It was from Adrian and it said to meet him at the cemetery. Now my problem is who do I see first.
I want nothing more that to run to our trail and be wrapped in Dimitri's arms again, but I know that I need to end whatever is going on between Adrian and I.
We're not dating. No, I don't think so. But I know he likes me and I need to set him straight. Sure there was a moment where I thought I liked Adrian.
But as much as I don't want to admit it I know I was just using him as a distraction from Dimitri. It may sound harsh but it's the truth.
So that's where I'm heading right now, to the cemetery.
It took me about five minutes of walking around the cemetery till I finally caught sight of the familiar light brown hair. He was leaning on a tombstone. The same tombstone were we hung out after skipping class.
He looks up and sees me. He gives me a half-smile and stands up. I walk till I'm about five feet away from him.
"Hey." he says smiling weakly.
"Hi." I reply.
"Look Rose, I'm really sorry about last night I don't know what got into me." he says looking really sincere.
What am I suppose to say 'Oh no it's fine that you went hulk on two guys.' ? It's his second time getting into a fight this week! Does he fight with random people often?
"It's okay." I reply.
He smiles," How about I make it up to you? I know this really great resta-"
"No Adrian, I don't think that would be a good idea." I cut him off.
He looks at me shocked,"Wh-Why not?" he asks.
I take a deep breath," Adrian you're a really great guy bu-"
He laughs cutting me off.
I narrow my eyes," What's so funny?" I ask.
"Are you giving me the 'you're a great guy but I think we're better off as friends' talk again?" he says.
Again?
"This would be the first time I'm giving it to you." I say.
He's quiet for a while.
"Um-yeah of course."
"I really do think we're better off as friends." I tell him.
"Are you cutting me off because you think that or because something better came along?" he asks.
"Um-what?" I ask confused.
He narrows his eyes," You know who I'm talking about. Belikov."
"What's going on between me and him has nothing to do with you." I say
Suddenly Adrian went crazy.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME?! IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME! I'M THE ONE WHOSE GOING TO HAVE TO SIT HERE AND WATCH YOU D-"
He cuts himself off, taking in deep ragged breaths," It's not going to end well Rose, trust me."
"How would you know if it will or it won't!? You're making assumptions." I say.
"I know because I've seen it happen before!" he yells.
Why is he getting so heated over this? I mean yeah I expected him to be pissed but right now he's absolutely outraged.
And what does he mean he's seen it happen before? Has Dimitri's other relationships end badly?
"Whatever happened to Dimitri in the past doesn't matter now. I don't care that his previous relationships might've ended bad, that has nothing to do with me." I say.
"What!? No! That's not what I'm talking about! I'm talking about you and him!"
What?
"Adrian."
I whip around and see Sydney. . . and Dimitri.
"Dimitri" I whisper. How long has it been since I got here? Obviously it took more time than I expected if Dimitri had to come looking for me.
"Adrian I think we should go somewhere and talk." Sydney says.
"No! No! I know what you guys are going to do! It's time isn't it!?" He yells cradling his face in his hands.
"What's going on?" I ask confused but no one is looking at me.
Sydney walks closer to him, "It might not happen, something's different." Sydney whispers though I can sill hear her.
"You can't take that chance! Not again!" Adrian looks at Dimitri," Please not yet."
He looks so close to tears, what the hell is going on!?
Dimitri pulls his gaze away from him," It's time." he says.
Adrian shakes his head denying what Dimitri said, a tear falls from his eye.
He turns back to me and without hesitation pulls me into his arms.
He's hugging me.
I hug back confused and awkwardly pat him on the back.
He pulls away wiping tears and turns away. Sydney walks over to me and hugs me to.
Why is she hugging me! We're not even friends. She gives me a sad smile and then walks away with Adrian.
I turn to Dimitri confused.
He holds out his hand for me and I take it. Like always I feel a spark once our hands touch each other. We walk to the trail, our trail. He leads me to a log and I sit down. But he starts pacing in front of me.
"What's going on?" I ask.
He stops in front of me," Rose, there's something really important I have to tell you. You have to hear me out."
I raise an eyebrow," Okay?"
He covers his face with his hands, takes a deep breath and says,"I fall in love."
"Over and over again. And each time something horrible happens."
He's been in love before? I feel a tinge of jealousy, but I have no right. It's in the past right? But why is he bringing that up now?
I look down at my lap and start awkwardly fidgeting with my fingers.
He kneels down in front of me and grabs my face in his hands.
"Rose, look at me. You have to listen this is really important."
I nod and look up into his eyes.
He takes a deep breath.
"The person I fall in love with each time is you."
