I had to stop several times while driving just to make sure I wouldn't pass out.
The sobs wracked through me, the tears fogging my vision. Somehow I ended up at Lissa's, but I knew she wouldn't be home until later, once she got out of work.
I knew she wouldn't care if I let myself in. I just needed a place to hide for a while. I dug the spare keys from one of the mums'pots on the porch and let myself in.
I collapsed on the couch and millions of questions plagued my mind. I knew Tasha was relentless, but how had she gotten close to him again?
I took my cellphone out of my pocket and dialed Adrian's number from memory. He had the answers, I was sure of it, but why hadn't he said anything before?
I shook my head and waited for him to pick up, but the call went straight to voicemail. I ended the call without leaving a message, not really sure if I could without sounding hysteric.
I just sat there in my best friend's house, broken hearted, alone and with no idea what to do anymore.

A/N: We'll hear from Dimitri next. Remember there are two sides to each story, so don't be too quick to judge.
***LONG A/N AHEAD***
So, I won't be able to finish this story today, but I have my reasons.
What started as a promising Sunday, ended in a note of sorrow. I lost an uncle today, which I why I have been MIA all day. It happened just this afternoon and came out of nowhere. He was fine one minute, laughing with his family, and the next he was on the floor, getting CPR. The paramedics couldn't do anything, it was a massive heart attack, and what scared us all the most, was that not even he knew he had a heart condition!
It's going to be a hectic day for me tomorrow, but I'll try to update when I can. I'll probably finish this story by Tuesday, but what can I do? Things happen and RL is a temperamental bitch. *sighs*
I'll see you guys with more tomorrow. xoxo ~Mina
