Haunted

Rose/Dimitri

Chapter 2

"Adrian" i whispered

I was absolutly certain that he had seen everything, most likely heard everything, and was probably pissed. This along with the food court incident, i was seriously surprised he hadn't already chewed me out. Then again i had been hiding in my room avoiding anything and everything.

He smiled weakly " little dhampir"

I could feel i was trmbling as i tried to pull myself together. out of all the things Dimitri taught me, i had perfected my guardian mask the least.

Adrian came closer and helped me up from the ground, then pulled me in a hug" no need to cry im here now, your wish has come true" he joked half heartedly.

I cried harder. How could i tell this wonderful guy the hard truth? after all he's done for me, he would still do more. He would give me the world if it would make me happy, but worst of all if what i wanted hurt him.. he would still give it to me.

"Adrian... I'm sorry" I looked at him through tear filled eyes

"little dhampir, i haven't the slightest idea what you're going through, but i do know it's about him"

I looked back down at the ground. i prepared myself for the worst, i mean what guy in their right mind would hang around or even be remotely nice to a girl in love with someone else?

"but" he said lifting my hear up to look at him "i also know that i don't care. You could be crying over your dead cat or something for all i care." he gave me the most dazzeling smile " the only thing that matters to me right now is that you're here, with me, not him. If he doesn't realize you're the best thing that is ever going to happen to him, then he doesn't deserve you. Meanwhile i have always know you were the best and the most beautiful that is the most obvious thing in the world" he smiled again

I sniffed and smiled. He truly was amazing and probably better for me than Dimitri. Adrian never said he didn't have feelings for me, never even said he had to keep our relationship quiet. In fact it had always been the opposite with Adrian. He always was honest with me, wanted to date me, quit smoking and drinking. He even helped me save Dimitri, even though i was dating him, and he knew my feelings for Dimitri. I remeber even the proposal he gave me of why i should date him.

What did Dimitri do? from the very beginning he hid his feelings , hurt me once by saying he didn't feel the same about me. I mentally shuddered remembering the charm Victor Dashkov put on us. After that he almost left me for Tasha, told me he loved me, turned strigoi and left me agian. Though i couldn't hold that against him, but what he was doing now i could.

Over all Adrian was the safer choice. Unfortunatly i never went for safe. I looked at Adrian. He was very handsome with brown hair and green eyes, not to mention his very sexy body, but as i stood there looking at him i couldn't make myself love him like he wanted. he was perfect! It was all so confusing.

"what are you thinking?"

"hmm?" i snapped out of my shameful thoughts

"nevermind" he laughed " your mind is dangerous territory. I'm not sure i want to know"

"it's nothing" i said " i was just upset is all. Me and Lissa are fighting, she is being so stubborn"

He looked at me doubtfully "is that all?"

I didnt want to hurt him. He was incredible and sweet and perfect so i told him what he needed to hear " of course" i said scornfully " Me and Lissa are very close and she is being too stubborn and not taking my obviously good advice" i hoped i had lied as smoothly as i thought i did

He knew, of course, that it was a lie, but he looked so desperate to believe it " its gonna be okay, you guys always work it out no matter what it is.. it's sometimes annoying, cant you guys fight like normal girls?" he laughed but there was sadness in his eyes

I stood up on my tip toes and kissed him. I closed my eyes and hoped to find the spark that i had always had with Dimitri, but there was nothing. I broke the kiss and smiled " i gotta go ok?

He smiled "okay" he leaned down and kissed me farewell . I kept my eyes open this time, and i was totally unnerved by the total bliss on his face.

The kiss broke and i waved back at him while running towards my dorm... I promised myself never to let Adrian see me cry again. after all how long am i supposed to live haunted?

I was sitting back in my room, which was where my life practically was lately. I order to avoid people i was always either in my room or at the gym. I saw no reason to put strain on my already fragile will, it would only take a little for a break down in front of the whole school. like i needed that?

i stood up and pushed my thoughts out of my hear and took a single deep breath. what i needed was a nice hot shower. A smile played on my lips, yes a shower sounded great.

i walked into the bathroom and started the shower, wrapped myself up in a towel to wait till the water had heated up. i had vagely heard a knock at the door.. " who in their right mind would come to MY room now?" i grumbled to myself.

"can i help you?" i asked before seeing who it was.

"Rose" the russian accent was obvious and it struck a needle-like pain to my heart. I felt my face harden and smooth over. No more crying.

"what to i owe the surprise, Belikov?"

He stiffened a little, that probably had more to do with the fact that i had only a towel on rather than my use of his last name.

"The princess is worried about you, she said you haven't been out of your room in a week" huh? had it really been that long? time flys when your miserable.

"and you're standing in my doorway,why?"

"because she sent me to check up on you" he stated simply

This whold conversation i had been avoiding looking directly at his face, but his last comment made my eyes shoot to his face. I glared at him and i swore i saw him flinch.

"well as you can plainly see, I'm fine and about to take a shower. Frankly i don't exactly want to be standing here in only a towel where everyone can see. so either you go tel the princess" i spat the word. i couldn't help but be a little pissed at her " that i'm fine or come in and doubly make sure i am, me myself? i would like you to do the first. It's up to you" i said icily

I walked away fromt eh wide open door and started gathering my clothes on the off chance he didn't get my hint. I heard the door shut and i looked up and saw Dimitri making his way to my bed.

" there is a chair over there" i said pointing towards a chair in the corner that nobody used. I reminded myself, that there was no more crying.

He simply nodded. I walked into the bathroom with my stuff, got into the now steaming shower... so much for a great shower.
