Bonjour as then Franch say it :D Welcome back to Different Coloured Roses, and I just started wondering, how many chapters will there be until FanFiction will say to stop ? Just a random thought, does anyone want to clue me in?

Anyways, just to let you fans know that I will be continuing with the story, sorry if it takes me a while to update but I just started College and well...I'm a bit stressed at the moment :)

But I can tell you this...after a couple more chapters a squeal of sorts will be up and its set before Rose and everything happened. Different Coloured Roses will continue while this squeal of sorts will be up. So, what do you think it could be? Let my wicked mind know :D

Now, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter Twenty Four:

I heard some people gasp around me as we contiuned to watch the screen. I looked down towards Jill and Scott to see that Jill was covering Scott's eyes. That I was what I was glad about in this moment.

I quickly looked up to Adrian before the TV the turned off to see shock and little bit of hurt.

I knew one thing for sure.

George is a dead man.

Silence filled the room and Dimitri grabbed my hand for support, as he knew all about this before hand.

I looked around to all the shocked faces in the room and the only face I saw that wasn't shocked was...Mia.

"Well...This must be some kind of sick joke." Mia tried to state, trying to be a ressuring face on. "I mean Adrian would never..."

Mia cut herself off when she saw Adrian's face, which told the whole story.

Quickly standing up, Mia looked like she was about to cry "But how! You're...you're not..."

"Gay?" Adrian finished off for her. He took a deep breath and said "Yes Mia, I am gay."

In that moment I couldn't of been more prouder of Adrian, this was the first time he was saying it in front of people.

Mia started crying...now. "How? Was it me? Did I do something wrong?"

Oh dear...

"No Mia," Adrian started and tried to put his hands on Mia's shoulders. "It's not you, it's-"

Mia pushed Adrian's hands away from her, "Don't. Touch. Me." She growled at him and quickly ran out, slamming the door behind her.

Adrian was about to go after her, but I stood up and said, "Don't Adrian, I'll go."

As I was about to go after Mia, Lissa spoke up. "You knew about this?"

I paused and looked to Adrian for help, "Yes...I did." Before anyone else could say anything else to me, I quickly ran out and searched for Mia.

It wasn't long until I found her as I saw her leaning on a wall to support her as she broke down into sobs. I ran to her and pulled her into my arms, knowing that she didn't deserve this.

She continued to cry into my chest and sometimes people walked passed us with questioning expressions, but I gave them a glare and they walked on.

Five minutes later Mia sat up and wiped the tears off her face and calmed herself down.

"How?" She mumbled, "I mean, I never even saw it coming..."

"None of us did Mia," I told her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, "That's how life is, full of surprises."

She closed her blue eyes, "Did I do something wrong? Really?"

"No Mia," I said pushing the hair away from her face. "You can't fight nature or nurture."

She laughed and said, "I know that...I just feel like somehow, it's my fault."

I shook my head, "It isn't Mia, don't go thinking that, ever. It's just the way it is."

"But I love him," Mia choked out, more tears running down her cheeks.

I pushed my lips together, "I know you do, but Mia, did you really see this relationship going anywhere?" She was about to say something but I quickly cut her off. "What I mean is, did you really see yourself marrying Adrian? Did you really see yourself having children with him?"

Mia looked away as for thought for a moment. And then she shook her head, "No, I didn't. But I – "

"I know, you love him. But Mason thought he loved me once and look where he is now, he's got a great girlfriend and they're going to have a beautiful baby soon." I told Mia.

She gave me a small smile, "You think I'm going to meet someone else?"

I nodded, "Totally and when you do, you'll see yourself doing all kinds of things with him."

Mia choked out a laugh, "I know you're right, but it's just...hard." She looked back to me and said, "How am I ever going to get passed this?"

I smiled and stood up, putting my hand towards her. "Firstly," She took my hand and stood along with me "I think you should talk to Adrian, get his side of the story before you hate him for the rest of your life." She laughed, "And secondly, whatever you do after that is up to you."

Mia nodded and started heading towards Lissa's, but stopped when she saw I wasn't coming. "Aren't you coming?"

I shook my head and started walking the other way as I said, "I've got to see a guy about a film."

I was at the bar where I first met Dimitri when George tried to make a move on me. Behind the bar I saw my old friend Roland.

"Rose," He said with his cheesy smile, "Where have you been?"

I smiled at him, "Well you know, around." I looked around and asked, "Have you seen George anywhere?"

"Oh no," Roland started. "What has he done now."

"Let's just say he posted a video about my friend and right now – he's got to deal with me." I said with straight tone.

Roland pointed at the far corner, "Over there, getting high or what not."

I nodded, "Thanks."

I went towards the corner to see George with a Feeder. She was beautiful, but blood covered her neck and she looked like she was about to pass out. She tried to move away from George as she knew she was losing too much blood, but he smacked her hands away.

In rage at him, I dragged him forcefully away from the female Feeder, she sighed in relief and I made him stand up.

"Hello George." I said in an unkind voice and I let go of his arm.

George wiped the blood off his face and said, "What do you want whore." He was drunk too.

I did a smile what said that I'm-not-happy-smile, "Oh, I just came from Lissa's house. We were suppost to watch a movie, but instead, we watched a clip of you and Adrian making out."

He didn't looked shocked at all as he just smirked. "Well good, it's about time everyone found out."

"Do you seriously think that Adrian will be with you after this?" George's smirk washed off and I laughed, "No, thought not." I took a step towards him, "Now, I had to give something..what was it?" I pretended to think. "Oh yeah, this."

I punched him in the jaw that made the Feeder gasp as George fell back on the sofa, holding his broken jaw.

I dragged him back up and said, "That was for Adrian, and this," I grabbed one of the glasses of wine and splashed it in his face. "Was because you called me a whore."

I threw him back on the sofa where he was groaning in pain.

I bent down towards him and pointed a finger at him as I growled, "If you ever go near Adrian or me for that matter ever again, I swear I will personally kill you myself." I stood back up and went back towards Roland at the bar.

He was grinning like a cat, "Nice one Guardian Hathaway."

I smiled and held up my hand, "Thanks but do you have an ice pack?"

After half an hour catching up with Roland and with an ice pack on my hand, I got a text from Adrian saying to meet him at the cafe. I took my time getting there, wondering how I ever got into such a mess of things.

But I did actually turn up at the cafe to see Adrian sitting on one of the seats.

"Hey stranger," Adrian said. "Mia said you went off somewhere, I'm guessing by knowing you that somewhere means George."

I held up my hand towards him, "You think?"

He shook his head and chuckled.

I went over towards him and said, "How you doing?"

"I'm shockingly good," Adrian said as he smiled at me. "I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."

I dragged a seat next to him and sat down, "I'm not surprised, you've been keeping this secret for what...four months now?"

He shook his head, "No, that's how long you've been keeping it, I've been keeping it my whole life."

I smiled.

"Thanks by the way, for keeping it a secret." Adrian said with gentleness in his voice.

I ran my hand through my hair, "It's fine, as long as you're happy, I'm happy." There was a moment of silence between us before I broke it, "What did Mia say?"

He let out a breath, "Well we had a long talk and she told me she was mad and a little bit hated me for cheating on her twice. But she said deep down...she understood really." He turned towards me, "And mainly because you talked to her first."

I looked down, "You know Adrian, I'm also mad at what you did. Not because what you did to Mia, because what you made me do, lying to one of my best friends and also, I'm a bit mad at you because of what you did to George too. I mean, deep, deep down in his own twisted way, I know he has feelings for you. I'm not saying you should get together with him, I'm just saying..." I let out a breath, "You've hurt a lot of people Adrian and sometimes...it can never be forgiven."

Adrian nodded, "I know, and I'm sorry, to you, to everyone really. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"That's the problem Adrian," I said putting a hand on his shoulder, "No matter what you do people are going to get hurt. And sometimes...they're needs to be hurt so there's a way to move on."

Adrian nodded and pulled me into a hug, "Thank you Rose, for everything."

I hugged him back.

It was late when I got back home so I quietly headed up stairs to find that Dimitri was waiting for me.

"Hey," He said as he put down one of his Western novels. "I was worried, what happened?"

I took off my coat and held up my hand as I went towards the bed, "This happened."

Dimitri held my hand in his large ones as I sat down on the edge of the bed, "Let me guess. George?" He asked with his Dimitri smirk.

I rolled my eyes, "God. You and Adrian know me so well."

He nodded, "That and before you were gone I saw that look you give when you're going to kill someone...do I need to check there's no dead body?" He teased.

"Hey!" I shouted as I smacked him on his bare chest. He grabbed my other hand and pulled me towards him, taking me into a passionate kiss.

I pulled away and groaned as I said, "I would love to do this, but right now I'm too tired."

Dimitri chuckled and said, "Agreed."

I quickly got changed – while Dimitri was watching – climbed into bed, as Dimitri wrapped his strong arms around my waist and pulled me against him.

I fell asleep in the arms of my Russian god, knowing the next few days were going to be hard, for both me and Adrian.

So that's it for this chapter my dear readers. The next chapter will take place sometime two months later, sometime of the opening of the cafe that Adrian and Rose have. The reason I am going two months ahead is that nothing really big happens in the next two months, so it will be set in February time :) Just before Rose's birthday.

So what did you think about this chapter? I know they're weren't much cat fights, but at least you got to see Rose punch George! :D I did that for you my dear readers! ;) Some people are asking what was the thing that Lissa saw in Rose's file...why do you think I'm forwarding it two months later? *wink wink*. It's gunna be a shocker :D
