You Love, You Die

Chapter 4:

( Christian's POV )

I ran after Lissa into the room Rose was staying in and when I got in there I expected to see Lissa healing Rose but instead she was hugging Rose like Rose meant-and was the entire-world to her, which Rose was the entire world, everyone loved hearing Rose's sarcastic comments everyday and now we have to live without her...forever, and I knew I'd miss her, everyone would.

"I love you Rose, please come back to me," Lissa pleaded while crying softly into Rose's bloodstained shirt.

Lissa's head immediately snapped up and she looked at the Stake in Rose's stomach and started trying to pull it out but she couldn't and that made her cry hard, but Lissa wasn't giving up yet. Lissa kept tugging on it and pulling, trying her hardest to get it out, but it wouldn't budge and she only cried harder when it wouldn't come out.

Lissa eventually gave up and started crying into Rose's shirt and hugging her.

Rose's skin was white and had a purple tinge to it and had purple lips. Her eyes were closed and she looked deadly, even when she was dead.

Lissa looked like a wreck, crying into Rose's chest and sniffling.

I walked up to Lissa and wrapped my arm around her and she didn't pay attention to me and I didn't really mind because she was going through a lot, more than anyone would ever know.

"Rose you can't leave me, please!" Lissa begged.

I wanted to comfort her but I didn't know how. Rose was just going even paler by the minute.

After an hour of Lissa saying she loved her and that she was going to miss her, then Lissa fell to sleep on a chair near Rose on the bed.

(6 hours later)

I heard the door open and I turned to see Dimitri peek his head in through the door and then he came in and walked straight near Rose and looked at her sadly.

I immediately felt sorry for him because he wouldn't have liked to hear that his student committed suicide and was most likely suffering from depression.

Dimitri looked at Rose's hair and glared at it and then turned to me with a menacing look.

"When did she dye her hair and why?" he demanded.

I shrugged my shoulders. "She said she wanted a change and to leave the old Rose behind, and she dyed her hair about a five weeks after you left" I told him.

Rose had dyed her hair a really light blonde and got bubblegum pink, purple and blue streaks. I-personally-thought it was really cool. Dimitri looked at Rose's face and I could see the love shining right out of his eyes and I nearly gasped, but my eyes widened in shock.

Dimitri's hand gripped the Stake and he pulled it up and out of Rose's stomach and then he looked at it and examined it. I could see the blood all over the Silver end of the Stake and it looked really disgusting.

Dimitri placed the Stake in tissues and then looked back down at Rose with tears in his eyes and I felt sorry for him and then something clicked in my head.

"You love her don't you?" I asked Dimitri, nodding down to where Rose lay on the bed.

Dimitri's head snapped up to look at me with shocked eyes and his eyes widened and then he sighed. "Yeah I do," he said.

"Then why did you leave?" I asked him.

"I don't know...I thought it'd be best," he said. "Rose loved me back and I did this to her," he said motioning to Rose. "I broke her heart."

I sighed. "If you love her then why did you leave?" I asked him. I really didn't get it. I love Lissa and I wouldn't leave her.

"Christian," he said, "it's different with Dhampirs, we can't be together because we're both going to be Lissa's Guardians' and we have to have our full attention on Lissa. As Rose would say is that we can't be checking each other out while we are supposed to be looking after her," Dimitri said.

I laughed at the end when he said what exactly Rose would say.

"Yeah Rose would say something like that," I told him and he smiled at me. "But you could've just gotten assigned to someone else," I mentioned.

"I was going to get assigned at Court-it was what me and Rose were talking about for after she graduates-but then I changed my mind for a reason a can't remember," he said to me.

I didn't understand, still. It was quite different and still very horrible. "I don't understand," I told Dimitri.

"Rose and I would get looked down upon for our relationship as well, but we would have to ask the Queen for our relationship to be approved and then if she said 'no' we'd have to leave and forget about each other and go our separate ways," Dimitri said and I immediately pitied him.

"Does Tasha know you love Rose?" I asked him.

Dimitri shook his head. "No."

I heard a yawn from beside me and I turned to see Lissa yawn, stretch , rub her eyes and look at Rose. Then frown.

She turned towards me and then smiled a forced smile. I smiled back at her.

"Had a good sleep?" I asked her.

Lissa shook her head. "No, I had nightmares and Rose wasn't the one to wake me up from them like always," she said sadly and then I seen a single tear fall onto her cheek and I quickly wiped it away.

"It'll be alright," I told her.

"But I want to bring her back and heal her," Lissa said.

I heard Dimitri sigh painfully and Lissa looked up at him in surprise. "Oh hello Guardian Belikov," Lissa said.

Dimitri nodded in acknowledgement to her. "Princess," he replied.

"Dimitri you should tell Lissa," I told him and he looked at me anoyingly.

"Tell me what?" Lissa asked.

"Princess I kn..." Dimitri started to say but Lissa cut him off.

"Shut up with the whole Princess thing! Just please call me Lissa," she yelled frustratingly.

"Okay, Lissa I know that this would be a shock for you and that you didn't know but I promise you I never meant to hurt Rose," he said.

"You hurt Rose? What the hell did you do to her?" Lissa shouted at him.

"I love Rose and she loves me-well she did love me before she died-and I left so I could be Tasha's Guardian but to leave I had to break her heart so she could let me leave," he said to her. "I never thought it'd end up this bad and I am so sorry that you lost her," Dimitri said to Lissa. I didn't even see Lissa get up but all of a sudden she tackled Dimitri in to a hug.

"I'm so sorry Dimitri, this must be really hard on you. I promise I'll save her," Lissa said to him.

"It's alright Lissa," Dimitri said.
