Different Turn Of Events
Chapter 16
Rose
As soon as the police officers left Dimitri got straight on the phone to my mother who flipped when she heard they had been sniffing around. She can't afford anyone in the human world finding out about her and what we really are, we've been hiding it all these years, we can't fail now. She got on the phone to a contact who is apparently a Moroi but works as a lawyer in the human world. She got some advice from him and he said that if the police come to see me again then to call him and not to speak to them until he arrives. He apparently doesn't like the police much himself. I heard my mom and Dimitri talking and he was worried. The police were questioning him about how he knew me and where we met… I can't allow them to find out about Dimitri. I just can't believe it's got to this stage. This is all Jesse's fault, he's ruined everything. This is the whole reason I broke up with Dimitri in the first place. I didn't want him to get into any trouble.
According to my mom's contact the police can still proceed with charges even if I don't make a statement. All I need to do is tell them that it happened, they don't need me to sign anything. All I need to do is keep my mouth shut and I'm hoping they will eventually just go away. I don't blame Dimitri for anything but if he hadn't told that Dr then the police wouldn't be here. I know he was doing it to protect me or something but the police are a bad sign. They can't go after Jesse. I don't know what sort of state Dimitri left him in and I know that Jesse will tell the police what he did if they were to ever find him and question him. Jesse will do anything to save himself and make himself seem better and he always makes things out to be everyone else's fault. It's never his fault. I can't afford to take that risk.
I was reading online about court trials and I would be cross examined by Jesse's lawyer who would make me out to be a liar or it was me leading him on and I've just changed my mind about it. I don't have the strength to go through all that. I just want to move on with my life and forget about Jesse and what he did to me altogether. I admit that me slitting my wrists probably wasn't the way to go and I regret the decision now. I wish I could go back in time to the first time and not go meet Jesse. I should've listened to the rules for once and stayed in my dorm and I should've been asleep with everyone else. Maybe all of this was my fault and I was asking for it. I mean I did flirt with him and everything. I shouldn't of because if I hadn't then he probably wouldn't pursued me. This whole thing is a mess and I wish I could take it all back.
The Dr came in earlier today and explained to me that as I self harmed and had a history of being abused I was going to need to have a physiological examination before I can leave. That means having to see a shrink. The last thing I want to do right now is speak to a complete stranger about everything that happened and be questioned about it all. Like I said I just want to forget everything. I want to go back to normal and live my life, I have more to live for then I thought I did. I'm not insane. It was just a moment of craziness that's passed now. I realise that suicide wasn't the way the way to go. Besides I don't think I can leave Dimitri behind… or my mother. We haven't always had a close mother/daughter relationship but I love her and I need her more then I thought I ever would. We're the only family each other has. Dimitri just would blame himself for everything and when he gets like that there's no reasoning with him. As much as I need them I realise they need me too.
I can't wait to just go home and get settled into a new routine and get myself together. I've been all over the place lately and I just need to get back to being my old self. When I look in the mirror I don't recognise the person staring back at me anymore. I miss being my old self. There was a time when people at school were scared to piss me off, they showed me respect and I felt so confident and strong but I think if I went to St Vlads now I wouldn't get that same respect, they would see I was broken and they wouldn't be scared of me and now I don't feel confident and strong. I feel weak and pathetic. Dimitri has been trying his best to help me get over it, he's been patient with me and he tells me I'm beautiful all the time… he's been amazing but a lot of this is something I need to try and do myself. No one can make me feel strong and confident.
The door knocked and through the window I saw Dimitri standing on the other side, he gave me a small smile and opened the door "Hey" He said softly as he closed the door and came to sit in the chair next to me.
"Hi" I replied.
"How are you feeling today?" He asked.
"Better, all I want to do now is just go home and get back to normal" I told him.
"Well your mom has spoken to your school and told them that you're going through personal issues and you won't be in school for a while. The school are willing to work with you and give you a break for a little while to get better. They are going to arrange for school work to be sent to you so you don't miss too much and you won't be so behind when you get back" He explained.
"So the school are going to think I'm crazy" I stated.
"No one thinks you're crazy Rose. All anyone wants to do is help you, everyone is going out of their way to help you. The school want you to succeed so they want to do everything they can for you. Your mom is wanting to do everything and anything she can to help you as well. All we want is Rose back and to be ok again" He told me.
"I'm really sorry Dimitri for dragging you through all of this. I know I've messed things up between us and I've been selfish, if you want to move on with someone else then I'll understand. I don't want you to think that just because I'm here in hospital you have to stay here with me. You can move on if you want, I won't hold it against you" I said.
"Don't be silly. There is no other woman for me" He replied.
"You say that now…"
"Stop it!" He exclaimed "Rose I am so in love with you, I don't know why you don't understand that. I don't want any other woman, I only want you. You are the one who makes me happy. Stop trying to push me away" He told me.
"Sorry"
"And stop apologising"
I opened my mouth to speak when there was another knock on the door. Both Dimitri and I turned to look and saw the two police officers standing on the other side of the door. Dimitri's face changed from soft and loving to hard and angry. He got up from the chair and opened the door to them.
"We need to speak with you" Detective Laura Brown said to Dimitri
"Then I'll have to call my lawyer" I called out to them.
"It's not your lawyer that needs to be called" Detective Eva Manson replied.
"Dimitri Belikov I am arresting on suspicion of rape of Rosemary Hathaway. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you" Detective Laura Brown said and put Dimitri in handcuffs.
"It wasn't him!" I shouted.
"We have some questions we need to ask him" Detective Eva Manson told me.
"You are making a huge mistake" I stated "I'm calling my mom and the lawyer right now. You guys are going to be in so much trouble for wrongful arrest" I told them.
"C'mon" Detective Laura Brown said and started taking Dimitri.
"We'll be in touch shortly" Detective Eva Manson told me and left after Laura Brown and Dimitri.
