Chapter 4: Rose/Adrian/Dimitri moment

RPOV

After greeting and thanking everyone for coming I was a little sad to see that Adrian wasn't here. But I have noticed Dimitri never left my side. He'd follow me everywhere. Like he knew that at any minute I might break. And truth is he's right. I could burst at any minute. As everyone was leaving I saw my dad looking over at someone-well more like glaring. I saw a person coming in through the gate. My mood shot up. It was Adrian.

"Adrian!" I yelled. He turned and saw me. He waved and staring walking towards me and Dimitri. I swear I heard Dimitri growl a little but I guess it was my imagination. As he reached where we were Dimitri let go of my hand and put on an emotionless expression on.

"Hey rose." He said while giving me a hug, which I gladly returned. "I'm so sorry I'm late. I got hold up back home." I took a look at Dimitri who was now behind Adrian and his eyes burned with anger.

"Really, and what happed that made you be late for Rose's mom's memorial?" Dimitri asked in a hard voice. Adrian turned around and saw Dimitri's expression. "Hey man I didn't see you. And it was just some family business that needed taken care of. My mom wouldn't let me leave until it was taken care of." I swear Dimitri's knuckles were turning white. The question is why?

"Really? Your mom wouldn't let you leave? Well I for one know that your mom would have let you leave if she knew it was for Rose's mom memorial! Actually she was here! So don't you dare lie to me or Rose! Tell her the truth! Why are you late!" Adrian's face harden. He got up to Dimitri's face and punched him.

"Don't you dare call me a liar! If my mom was here it was because of her own business. I had something to take care of. Mind your own fucking business Belikov." Dimitri started towards him and pushed him down to the ground.

"Rose is my business. You are lying to someone I love Adrian. She is part of my family and I will not stand here knowing that you just fucking lied to her face! Either you tell her the truth or get your sorry ass out of here before you enter a world of pain."

"Adrian, Dimitri Enough! Dimitri leave Adrian alone." I said while going to Adrian. I put my face on his cheek. "Are you alright?" he nodded. Then I faced toward Dimitri. He just looked at me. And kept looking. His eyes burned with anger and something else. But before I could figure out what his face turned expressionless then walked away, I just stood there thinking what the hell just happened. I faced Adrian. I swear every time Dimitri and Adrian are in the same room together Dimitri always starts a fight with him. Why couldn't my best friend and my boyfriend get along? Was that too hard to ask?

"Why did he say you were lying Adrian?" He looked up and got off the ground. "Are you really going to listen to him? I didn't lie Rose. I had something to take care of." I was going to tell him that I just wanted to know why Dimitri thought he was lying but then I noticed something on his neck. It was purple.

"Adrian? Why the FUCK is your neck purple?" He paled lightly and put his hand on his neck.

"Rose I swear it isn't what you think it is. I can ex-"
"Don't you dare! I know that that is a fucking hickey on your neck! You are a liar! Why the hell would you lie to me! if you wanted to break up you should of just told me! your such a man whore! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!" then I turned around.

"Rose it's not what you think. It's a bruise that I got from….my... father." I stopped. I looked back at him. He looked in pain. I couldn't help but fall into his trap.

"What happened with your dad Adrian?" He looked hesitant. "God Damn it Adrian! How do you expect me to believe you if you won't tell me!" I yelled. Then I started walking again.

"He was drunk. And he got angry….i was about to leave when he grabbed me and started yelling at me about where I was going and that he….. He…."

"HE WHAT ADRIAN!" I yelled at him.

"He wanted me to break up with you, Rose! He doesn't like that we are going out! He used to date your mom before your mom met Abe! She dumped him and left him to rot! He doesn't want that to happen to me! Every year for the last four Fucking years he gets so fucking wasted that I have been his punching bag! He keeps killing himself by getting intoxicated every year! I have always been late because of your mom's death! She did this to him! This is why my mom left my dad a year ago! She couldn't watch this. She fucking left him because of Janine! ITS ALL HE-"

"DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE BOY!" my dad shouted while walking towards us. "It wasn't Janine's fault your mom left Nathan. It was His own. He is the one intoxicating himself. It's his mess that he has to deal with and you shouldn't be solving his problems by blaming others. You shouldn't come here saying this in front of neither my daughter nor my wife!" then I just realize my dad was right. We were in front of my mom's grave. This was disrespectful on his part.

"Now apologize to both my daughter and my wife now. Or ill make Dimitri kick you out of here." As if on cue Dimitri stepped right behind me. His face showed he wasn't kidding around. I also saw that he was pissed. I am guessing he heard everything Adrian said.

"Abe i-"

"You will call me Mr. Mazur. You just lost your right Boy." My dad said in a hard, angry voice,

"Mr. Mazur I'm really sorry but I have lost everything because of Janine. And I don't mean any disrespect to her as I am standing in front of her but I can't do that. I'm sorry." Then he turned around and started walking towards the gate. Before I was able to say something Dimitri rushed and grabbed him from his arm and made him face him.

"You're not done yet." He said in a cold voice, "If you're not going to apologize to Janine then apologize to ROSE! She was the one you yelled at! She your girlfriend! What kind of a man are you? If you don't apologize to her I swear I'll make sure you don't ever talk to her again." He yelled.

"There you are again not minding your own business Belikov! What has any of this do with you! She's not your girlfriend or sister or –"

"HE CARES FOR HER THAT'S WHY. And I asked him to look after my little girl. He is the man I know I can trust unlike you with my daughter. You better start treating my daughter with respect or you will be in for it. One more wrong move and you won't be seeing my daughter anymore. And just so you know. Ill be keeping my eye on you." With that my dad turned to me and said "say goodbye to her mother and let's go. Come on son lets go." Dimitri nodded and left right behind Abe. I saw them walk past the gate and into the car. Then I faced Adrian.

"You know they are right. If you don't start getting yourself together then we are through. Call me later bye." Then I faced my mom.

"I miss you mommy. I hope you and mason are doing alright. I'm sorry for what you had to see. I'll come back soon to visit. I love you. Bye." Then I walk away towards the car. As I got in the passenger seat Dimitri said "I'm sorry" I looked at him and saw that he was fighting himself to control his emotions. I then realized just how much he wanted to hurt Adrian for saying all those things to me.

"There is no need Dimitri. But promise me one thing." I said.

"Anything, Roza" he said.

"Next time let me fight my own battles. I won't have you there all the time Dimka. I need to defend myself. And you know as well as I do that I'm perfectly capable of doing so. I know you just taking care of me but I need to handle thing on my own." I knew he was just looking after me but I won't have him there every time so I need to handle my own disasters.

"Roza, I can't do that. You know I thought of Janine as a second mother to me. I loved her as much as I love my own mother. Long ago before she died she asked me to watch over you. To take care of you. She wanted me to keep you safe, and Roza being around Adrian isn't safe. He may seem like a good guy but he is dangerous. You know he drink drinks, smokes, and uses girls like they are trash. Just because he says that he's changing doesn't mean that he won't make a mistake. Roza before I picked you up I saw him with another girl. He was all over her and I know for a fact that that girl wasn't you. i just don't want you getting hurt Roza. I love you too much for that to happen. He'll use you even if he doesn't know it. He'll come at your weakest moment. I-i-I just want you to be happy with someone I know won't hurt you."

"Dimitri….Dimka, thank you for always being there for me. I know that you are just doing what you promised to do. But-"

"I'm not just doing this because of a promise Roza! I'm doing this because I love you and I don't want you getting hurt!"

"I know and I love you too Dimitri. But I have to fight my own battles! You need know that I can take care of myself and that you can trust me making right decisions!"

"I DO TRUST YOU ROZA! I trust you more than you'll ever know! I just wish you can see how much." Then the car stopped. That's when I realized we were in front of my house.

"Abe is waiting for you inside. I have to go home now….I'll see you tomorrow." He said.

"Okay…Dimitri?" he looked at me. "Can you…come over…. tonight?" I asked while blushing.

"I promised you I would Roza. You know I'll always be there whenever you need me." I smiled. I reached towards him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Dimka. For everything." Then I got out of the car. I could have sworn I heard Dimitri said, "if only you knew Roza." As I was closing the car door. But it was hard to hear so I didn't think anything of it. I then started walking towards the front door. I heard behind me Dimitri's car fading in the distance.
