I walked back to my dorm with my hands in my pockets and head ducked low. I could just imagine Stan gossiping about me and Dimitri. Telling all the instructors about what had happened. Dimitri walking by and all of them staring at him in disgust. Tears pricked my eyes and my vision blurred. Around my head the wind blew hard and the snow crunched under my boots. I walked past the teacher's housing, where I saw Dimitri's lights on and his silhouette moving about, folding cloths and packing up his stuff.

I stopped and stared for a few seconds before I heard the footsteps behind me above the blearing wind. I turned around and came face to face with my drunken admirer, Adrian. His hair was disheveled perfectly and his brilliant green eyes sparkled, showing none of the glaze I had become accustomed to seeing in them, though he did smell slightly of alcohol. "Little Dhampire, admiring the cradle robber's curtains or trying to catch a glimpse of the thief himself?" He laughed at his own joke, despite it's lake of funniness.

"Shut the fuck up Adrian," I growled, but even I could hear the quiver in my voice. His jade eyes peered into my own dark brown ones. "What's wrong?," he asked me, his voice losing it's joking quality. I looked down to the glistening snow. "Nothing," I said in a low voice, trying my hardest to void it of emotion. I looked back up and saw his gaze travel to Dimitri's window. "Did he hurt you? I'll kill him if he did. He may be bigger but I have insanity on my side." He put his hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off. "Look, I don't want to talk about it. Just leave me alone." I walked away without waiting for his reply. I heard the crunch of his boots against the snow for a few steps before the wind rose it's tone to a point where anything more than five feet away was undistinguishable from the roar.

I went into the dorms then walked up to my room. I loved not having a roommate. I could cry in peace. I fell asleep curled in a ball with tears staining my face.

I woke up to a knocking on my door. I answered the door, not caring about my morning breath. In fact, I hoped the smell killed whoever was on the other side of the door. "Hello?" I asked, pushing down the bile in my throat. It was Lissa.

"I heard about what happened." She said it in a monotone. I had been expecting a hug, comforting, or at least some sympathy from her. I got none of those things. I tried to listen into the bond but she was blocking me out. "You should have told me," she growled.

"I'm sorry, it was so horrible and it was late I-," Lissa waved her wand and cut me off. "Not about that! About the relationship to begin with! What the hell Rose! I thought I was your best friend! Sisters, remember?" Her green eyes were squinted and full of tears. Anger coursed through her words. I looked at her pale blonde hair and delicate features and thought about just how different we really were. I had seen her this mad very few times, and never, never, was that anger directed towards me. Sure, we had our little fights every now any then, but they were just little squabbles, never anything really… big. But I could tell at that moment she was really mad at me and had no intention of forgiving me unless I gave her a good reason to.

"I'm sorry Lissa. I didn't want anyone to find out…"

"Yah, well look how well that turned out." Then she turned around and walked away, leaving a cloud of anger in her wake.

What do yah think? Review and Favorite! I really like knowing what you think.
