It's been a week since I got here. And a week has passed since I talked Rose. All this time I thought about what could happen because of my escape. Will my mother suffer for helping me? My country will go to war with Mazur's empire because I refused to marry his daughter? Now I do not know anything. Maybe I will not ever hear anything about them.

Since Im here i have not thought about the moment when I'll be back. I do not know if I'll come back. I'm afraid, that's for sure.

I spent this week with Adrian. Away from Rose. I Do not know why but I'm afraid to get near her . I noticed her from distance and she seems to be happy. But something in her eyes tell me that's not true. I promised to spend my summer making her smile. But how could I approach her and say something nice to make her happy when she was always surrounded by her friends. She was smiling now. She no longer needed me. This new guy, Mason, had a big crush on her. I do not know if she noticed this but I certainly noticed. I felt like a teenager blinded by jealousy. She feels so alright around him. Sometimes i wish to be in his shoes.

"what keeps you so busy? " asked Adrian coming and sitting next to me on the garss.

"Nothing, jut thinking."

"You do that a lot. You knew it?"

"Well, life sucks sometimes" He was closer to age with me. Maybe he was the only one who could understand me, to a certain way.

"When life sucks, suck it. This is the only way you can survive." He had a point. "want a smoke?"

"no, thank you. I dont smoke" i gave him a smile showing my apologize

"So Ivashkov, not having fun, ha?"

"Not really, but happy to be here. I love this view. I love nature. Feels good to be here." I think i felt more like home here then home. The palace was too big. There were guards everywhere. I could not go anywhere alone, without my father to know.

"If by view you mean my sister ass, yea its a good view" i forzen

"Sorry, what ?"

"Dont lie to yourself, Ivashkov. I saw the way you look at her, is obvious" my heart started beating so hard that i thought he could hear it.

"is so obvious? "

"i saw it because... i dont know. I saw the way all of them look at her"

"And how all of them look at her? "

"If by all of them you mean Mason, well, he look at her like he wants to have some fun with her, i dont like it but is her summer. She needs to be happy" He wanted what's best for his sister as i wanted the best for mine.

"And how i look at her? I mean, i know how i look at her but i want to know if u are as good as you claim to be"

"Like you want to protect her. And everyone who want to protect someone mean that they care about that someone. I like it. You are my favorite since now." What he ment by that? Is there a competition for Rose's heart? "Can i ask you something? "

"Sure ,Adrian. Feel free to ask anything"

"I know you care about my sister, but do you think you could love her? "Adrian seem serious and i didn't knew what answer to give. Is not that easy to love someone. Thinking if i could love Rose was sweet. Could i?

"Adrian, it dosen't work like this. To love someone takes time."

"I know, and im not asking you that if i wasn't sure about it. I want Rose to fall in love. I need her to be happy. I would give my soul for tht chance to see her happy." Adrian was the kind of brother everyone should have. A better one then me.

"Why me ? "

"Because in the way you look at her, the same way she look at you" was that true? Could be that possible? For some reason i smiled. A true smile. " say something! "

"umm sorry, i get caught in my thoughts."

"If she, but only if, she fall in love with you i want you to take her away. Away where even i can't find her. Away where she can start frash." ok, that's weird. why would he want that? to be away from my family is the hardest thing I've done. why he wanted something like that for Rose?

"why? family is the most precious thing."

"Most then love? " Yeah, he got me. I do not think there is anything more precious than love. I do not think life would be as beautiful without love. just thinking about Rose's smile made me want to smile. That smile was too perfect for a human beeing.

" what's happening in that family of your's. Adrian? "

"Something you will find out about later."

To spend my summer with Lissa was the best ideea ever. I love her and i love to sped my summer here with her and all of those people. Mia is that kind of person you want to have around you. She made me smile every five minutes. Jill is a kid, or at least in this way i see her. But she is awesome. And Sidney, well Sindey told me she has a crush on my brother. That was sweet. I hope my brother likes her too. They would be cute together.

"hey, day dreaming? " aked Mason. I don't know why but i felt like he suffocate me. Dont get me wrong, i like him, but he seems to be everywhere i am.

" Ummm yea, i was thinking about this summer. I want to be a memorable one. "

"so, Rose, tell me more about you. I want to get to know you better." And again he became suffocating again.

"another time. Sorry Mason. I wanna be lonly for some time. Sorry. I need to think. See ya leter." And with that he left. I felt like i could breath again.

I haven't lied to him. I really need to think about... about Dimitri. I don't know why but he seems to avoid me. Or is because of Mason. every time I catch him looking at me, Mason appears out of blue. I need to talk to him. The warmth in his voice makes me feel good. So i made my way to the pool looking for him.

"Hey Lissa, did you saw Dimitri? "

"Yeah, why ?"

"Just tell me where he is!"

"Nope if you don't tell me why you want to talk to him"

"Really Lissa? Where did you saw him? "

"Oh God, he went to change. He said he wanted to run. Happy now?"

He wanted to run? Perfect. I hate to run. I guess he has now a mate.

"Hey camrade, where you going? "He looks surprised.

"Hey Rose. Im going for a run."

"Awesome, because i love to run. It heelps me clean my thoghts" i said smiling. "can i run with you? "

"sure, i'll love to" i felt good around him but at the same time i was afraid to say something stupid. I usually do it.

"Dimitri, how was your first week here? Did you enjoyed it? " I tried to make conversation. I hope he feel good around me.

"It was bored. I spent all my time with Adrian. I learned some things about him that i didn't want to know. "

"Yeah he does that. My brother like to talk a lot. God knows how i lived with him so may years" he smiled. Yep, definitely i love his smile.

" how about you? Did you enjoyed this first week? "

"yeah, i really feel good here. I love to spend my time with Lissa. " silence fell and begins to feel awkward. We ran for five minutes and i felt like i couldn't breath anymore. So i stoped.

"Are you ok?" Dimitri asked

"i just can't run, no more. Its to much for one day. I feel like i can't breath" he helped me to sit down and sat next to me

"Better now? " i could feel the concern in his voice

"Yeah, much better. "

"running is not your favorite thinkg to do, ha? " he got me. Actually i hate to run.

"yes it is. " now he started to laugh. He didn't belived me. Awkward situation. "you know what? No i dont like to run. I hate to run. I came to run with you because i wanted to talk to you."

"about what?"
