I don't own VA. But I do own Anna, Eli, and Sarah, so don't you dare use them without my permission! This hasn't been update in awhile and I just had a great week with my crush, so, here is chapter 2!

Chapter 2: Staying Over; Locked Up

Apov [Anna]

From the ground I could hear my mother crying.

"What's wrong?" Sarah tapped my shoulder. I looked down and picked my phone.

"Mom," I said. "just calm down, please." I pleaded and half cried. Sarah looked at me with a concerned look.

"You and Eli are coming home for tonight," she said. "I already called Kirova, so you'll be staying here for tonight." I nodded.

"Okay mom, I'll see you soon." I hung up and stuck the phone into my pocket. I turned to Sarah and couldn't help but cry.

"What happened?" she asked. I told her about my dad and her mouth just dropped. "But how? He's always been healthy right?" I nodded. "So how can he just have cancer all of a sudden?"

I sniffled. "I don't know," I said. "I just don't know." She hugged me until my tears all but ran out and Eli and Jason, Aunt Mia and Uncle Eddie's son, ran in.

"Do you know?" Eli asked the both of us. We nodded. He switched with Sarah so he held me. "It's going to be okay." He soothed and rubbed little circles on my back.

I nodded meekly. Eli turned to Sarah, "I need to talk to you." He said and she nodded. They walked out and Jason held me.

Jason and I are best friends, we have been ever since his parents got married. Apparently, when I was born, Eddie and Mia were expecting Jason and didn't tell anyone until after the stupid Dashkov crap the adults went through.

Jason stroke my dark hair from my face and just stared at me with his ice blue eyes that is from Mia that made him look so innocent and fierce at the same time.

"It'll be okay Anna." He said my name was a prayer. He then lowered his lips to mine in a soft comforting kiss. Did I mention he's also my boyfriend?

We pulled away and I found comfort in his arms as I laid on his chest. I closed my eyes for a little while and took a small nap.

Epov [Eli]

Sarah and I stepped out of lounge and I shut the door behind us. I pressed her against the wall and kissed with passion. When I pulled away I looked at her in the eyes.

Her sapphire eyes looked me up and down. I pulled away from her and sighed.

"We shouldn't do this anymore." I looked down. I could feel her confused expression looking me over.

"Do what anymore?" she asked. Her tilted my head up so I would look at her. I looked at her with sad eyes. "Eli, what are you saying?"

I didn't answer her right away I looked down and pulled away. I drew a sharp breath.

Sarah and I have been having a secret relationship for over a year now, meaning that we've been sneaking around. We got physical only once, and I got reported by Jane Zeklos. She's the daughter of Jesse Zeklos, and she has this mad woman crush on me, and she said that she'll have me sent away, or have Sarah sent over seas away from me. Kirova said that she can't do anything about it except say to keep our relationship on the down low that way she'll have nothing to say about.

But didn't work. Jane Zeklos reported it to Guardian Petrov, and she said that Sarah either doesn't graduate, or I might lose my job. She said she's sorry, but ever since my parents, a lot of the higher ups have been monitoring everyone's interactions.

So here I am about to break her heart. I love Sarah, and she loves me, but there is nothing I can do about it.

"Sarah," I said as gently as I could. "They know."

Her eyes widened. "What?"

I gave her a knowing look. "Oh…"was all she said. We didn't speak for a little while then she stammered. "Wha-a-at are we going to do?" She shook up a little.

I held her to me and breathed. "We have to stay away from each other as long as you are still a minor."

She looked up to me. "But I won't turn eighteen until February!" She exclaimed. She narrowed her eyes and huffed. "I really hate Jane."

I chuckled. "Trust me, you aren't the only one."

She gave a small smile and sighed. "So…just for now, right?" I nodded. With that we broke apart and walked back into the lounge where Jason held my sleeping little sister.

Rpov [Rose]

"Roza, open up." Dimitri said on the other side of the bathroom door. "We have to talk about this."

I shook my head even though he can't see it. I don't need to hear this; I don't have to talk about this, heck, I didn't even want this to happen.

"Rose, please." He begged.

I locked myself up in here for about two hours now. I now it's stupid; maybe even childish, but I just need a place to think right now and talking to my dying husband is not helping.

I sat on the edge of the bathtub and ignored Dimitri's pleas to get me out of the bathroom.

The kids were coming home soon for tonight, and I know I have to come out soon, but just not now.

I know this chapter is probably too short, and doesn't make up for the long time period of no updates, but I've been busy and some people in a certain forum were really bothering me. Anyway, here.
