I'm so sorry guys! I had a chapter error and two chapters got mixed up, so I actually posted chapter twenty seven as twenty six! So sorry if you got that... But here's the right one!
ENJOY
Rose
I felt lost.
I have no idea how to fix this or who to turn to since my parents were away for at least another week.
My three best friends won't talk to me, no matter what I did or tried to get in contact with them. I'm pushing my boyfriend away because, well I don't even have a valid reason to why. I'm just stuck in my own bubble of self pity and I don't want him to see how deep I've fallen. That and I wanted to fix this on my own, he always did things for me, I needed to do this on my own.
Groaning I rested my head against the kitchen island's hard surface.
Rihanna was soulfully singing about love of the brain in the background. I've turned the volume up several times trying to drown out the many thoughts that kept coming at me. But it didn't work. Nothing was working.
My phone vibrated. Lifting my head, my eyes glanced over before I could try to tell myself not to. It was the seventh text in a row. Eleven missed calls.
The tears started to burn in my eyes as I felt a stabbing feeling in my gut. I'm a horrible human being.
I had opened some messages, at first I couldn't contain myself, but after opening them I didn't know what to say.
D "What happened yesterday? I just want to help, you don't have to do this alone x"
D "I'm trying to give you space and to be understanding, but you can't just ignore me"
D "Baby please… I don't know what to do"
He wasn't giving up. He just kept texting if he wasn't trying to call me.
D "Can you please talk to me? x"
D "I love you"
Resting my head against the hard surface again I closed my eyes trying not to think of him. But it is always harder then you might think…
My heart had dropped the first time he showed up knocking on my door the day after the whole thing at his flat. I think he stayed for a good hour before he broke away. Begging me through the door to open it, to tell him why I wouldn't let him help me. He was asking what was wrong and whatever it was he could help. All I needed to do was to let him in.
I was sitting on top of the stairs crying, because I couldn't even understand why I didn't just go down stairs, open the door and just let him in.
But I couldn't. Something was stopping me. Or I was just being stupid and stubborn. The weak side of me was still seeing Camille's hands on him, I know it's not his fault, but it was all I could see. It was all my mind kept telling me, I'm not her.
But he doesn't even want her!
Why the fuck do I keep doing this to myself? Why? I don't even understand myself. The only thing I do know is that I wanted to fix this on my own.
Only I didn't know how to, I don't even know how to deal with the situation. It was all useless.
The first day after I told him to give me time he kept calling and texting me. I barely slept at all, I didn't want to dream. I couldn't control my dreams. My eyes were glued to my ceiling as all I heard was the vibrating of my phone, trying to hold back tears.
He came back again this morning. He didn't stay as long as last, I knew he had to go to class. I barely heard him as I stayed hidden under my quilt.
A familiar buzz brought me back to the present. Looking up at my phone again I sighed and pushed it away. I was only hurting myself more by seeing the amount of times he's texted, knowing that each message would make me feel even worse. But I was hurting him more by ignoring them.
The knot in my stomach was growing by the second.
I'm a horrible girlfriend.
Hell I'm not even a good friend, I just lie, I can't even fix my own mistakes. I didn't feel like I could do anything right now.
When did I turn into this person? I've watched so many films where they just sit there and drown in their sorrows and I scream at the telly to stop it and do something about it!
I was shaking my head as I was thinking I'm such a fucking hypocrite.
My eyes wandered as I was silently torturing myself, until they landed on the large bottle of gin sitting on top of the fridge. I could feel my fingers itching for it. Wallowing in my dark bubble for nearly two days it would be nice to forget. Sleeping didn't work, I only dreamt about it all over again. Or worse things.
One drink wouldn't hurt. I had kept myself from drinking during these last two days, I hadn't even had an appetite. Which is something I've never experienced before…
But a drink would be good. I think? Yes, yes it would.
Getting up I swiped the flask down from its hiding place, bringing a glass, tonic, ice and some lime over, it was the first time in two days I had actually been excited.
A drink would be good. I swear it would.
Dimitri
I was going insane.
I barely knew what to do with myself and I'm not usually the worrying kind.
I was going to my classes but I wasn't present mentally. Going to the gym, I couldn't focus, I got lost in my thoughts and I wasn't doing what I was supposed to, I couldn't do it properly. I could barely do anything.
My friends were too into their own girlfriends so they hadn't been home since the whole Camille thing. Hell I'm not sure how I'd react if I saw them anyway…. maybe it was a good thing.
Sighing I buried my head din my hands.
Camille. What a big fucking mess she created. All I could see was Rose face as her eyes landed on us. It was like someone grabbed me by the balls and yanked them across the room. I didn't know what to do, but I was begging. It was the only thing I could do and I think she believe what I said. It was something in her eyes. She can't still be upset about that can she? I mean, yes of course she could, seeing things can really fuck with you. But she knows that I love her, she said she believed me, so it can't be that. Or can it?
Groaning I pushed out of my seat making my way over to the fridge. I was driving myself crazy with all these questions that's swarming inside my head.
Grabbing a beer I took a big gulp, nearly emptying half the bottle in one go.
I couldn't pin point if I was more angry or worried. My mood was constantly changing but I think I was mostly angry due to the whole situation. I had already had it out with Camille at school the day after she had appeared in my flat. I had given her a fair piece of my mind and made sure that if I ever caught her near any of us again she'd be so far fucked up the ass, life would never would never be the same.
Might not sound much of a threat, but I might have also mentioned to a few members of the school board how I knew she's slept with several members of staff and how that helped keeping her grades up.
You fuck with me and anyone that I love, I fuck you right back.
When I wasn't angry, I was worried. Rose wasn't communicating with me what so ever, not a fucking word. Not even showing up at her door cracked her no talking game. I was begging and pleading with her but I got nothing. It nearly felt like six or so years ago when I wanted to plead with her to stay instead of moving, but I had turned to anger instead. I didn't want to do that this time. At least not to her. I knew she would come around… or I hoped she would! I needed her. I just want to know she's ok.
All I wanted to do was wrap her up in my arms and tell her it would be ok, I could fix it, I didn't know how but I would. I'd do anything for her.
Suddenly there were a rattle of keys. I pushed myself off of the bar as the door opened and voices filled the room. My heart sank as it wasn't who I hoped it would be. But my heart started to slam in my chest as I saw her face. Anger rushing through my veins.
Christian came in first, Lissa in toe. Viktoria, Ivan and Tasha not far behind, all looking fairly happy and smiley. Me? I was fucking raging.
Christian came to a sudden stop as worry came all over his face, "D? Dude you ok? I haven't seen or heard from you for days?"
I didn't say a word, I just glared at her, a murderous fucking glare. I knew she had something to do with it, I just knew it.
Ivan spoke up, "Dimitri you're looking kind of mental, what wrong? You've been MIA for days"
"Have I?" I challenged looking between my friends. "Or have you both been too fucking busy to pick up the phone to check in?"
"Whoa Dimitri, what's this about?" Christian frowned taking a step closer.
My eyes moved to Lissa who looked away, but that wasn't going down with me, "Why don't you tell me? Because nobody else fucking will"
Christian looked between Lissa and me, "If this is about their fight thing just leave them to it Dimitri-"
"I'm not going to fucking leave them to it, because she won't fucking do anything! But what you're going to do Lissa, is your going to tell me what happened nearly three days ago and you better fucking start talking" I was hissing my words towards the end as I was loosing my patient with her. She wouldn't look at me and it felt like Chris asking questions was only wasting time.
She didn't say a word, she just crossed her arms under her chest.
Staring at her she did nothing. Clenching the beer bottle between my fingers a burst of anger ran through me and before I did something I'd regret I threw the bottle across the room into the wall. It smashed into a thousand pieces. The girls shrieked in shock and Ivan jumped before I growled, "Tell me right now Lissa or I swear to god you'll regret it!"
"Fucks sake Dimitri, what's wrong with you?" Christian yelled stepping in front of Lissa, looking at me like I'd gone mad.
"Why don't you ask your girlfriend, she might finally have some answers" I snapped still glaring at her.
Christian looked between us, his breath heavy as he was taking in my act of violence. I think it was something in my eyes that forced him to ask.
"Lissa, do you know what he's talking about?"
"No"
"Don't you fucking lie to me" I growled, "Something happened, I don't know what but something happened between you and Rose and I swear to go you better tell me-"
"it's none of your business" she hissed back finally looking at me.
"It fucking is!" I roared, "Rose hasn't spoke to me in two fucking days! She won't answer her phone, she won't open the door. I'm completely shut out and I have no idea what so ever to why-"
She cut me off mid sentence, "What's wrong in your relationship clearly isn't my problem since you didn't mention it in the first place" she said in a sassy high pitched voice.
"Will you grow up-"
I started to speak but Christian cut me off, "Lissa what is he talking about?"
Her eyes moved to Christian as I could tell she didn't want to say, I'm not sure if she was being a bitch or too fucking proud to admit that she fucked it all up.
"We saw Rose yesterday at Paul's" Viktoria said breaking the silence that hung between us.
My stomach dropped, I already knew what must have happened, but I didn't want to assume.
"And?"
Lissa groaned as Christian shot her a look to continue, "She showed up, came over and tried to talk to us but I didn't want to hear it and then we left"
My eyes narrowed at her as she spoke. I didn't know this person who was standing before me. This wasn't the normal Lissa, I don't know what was wrong with her, but this wasn't her.
Clenching my fists I tried to ask calmly, "Did she try to explain the situation?"
"Yes" she said shortly.
"But you didn't want to hear it?" I said my voice ludicrous.
She narrowed her gaze at me, "No"
Shaking my head I felt disgusted, "Do you know what's your problem Lissa? You're too much a of a stuck up bitch to know what's good for you"
"Hey now" Christian started but I didn't listen., "Why is it that you don't want to listen? Is it because she lied as you think she did?"
"She did lie to me Dimitri, right to my face-" Lissa raised her voice but I didn't want to hear it.
"And if you would have listening to her you would have known why!" I yelled shutting her up. "She didn't the you a single word because I asked her not to! I asked her not to because I wanted us to know what we were doing before we told anyone else. We wanted to make sure that we didn't stir up a shit storm in case we didn't work out! Plus you hate my ass so much I wanted to get on your good side to soften the blow on her, but did you let her tell you that? No, do you didn't, you shut her down and shut her out. The only three close friends she has pulls that kind of shit on her? What kind of friends are that?" I asked looking at all three of them.
"That's not friendship to me, if you guys truly loved her as she is you would have listened, but you're too fucking scared the truth would be close to reasonable so you chose to stay angry because that's the easy way and the greatest way to show how much of a fucking coward you are" I hissed.
"The icing on the fucking cake is on top of all this stress, battling to just fucking love herself, her three best friends ignores her to the fucking extent of madness. On top of all that shit, in the same fucking day you probably humiliate your own friend walking out on her in your favourite spot, she comes here in hope to be consoled, but what she actually gets it's far far worse"
Lissa's facial expression doesn't change but I don't care anymore, I just continue, she needed to know what a fucking mess she had payed into.
"Camille took the fucking liberty to come in here, in her slutty little underwear and time in perfectly as I walk out of the shower, get her hands on me and just like in a fucking movie, Rose walks right in" I laugh humourlessly, "It was a perfect fucking set up"
"What?" Viktoria gasped looking mortified.
"So not only does she had three shitty friends ignoring her, she now has the permanent image of Camille and me burned into her mind and she hasn't said a word to me since. She dragged her out of my flat and told me we were ok but she needed space"
Running a hand down my face I shook my head, "So as we're here, as I'm trying to fucking fix this if I can, she's probably drowning in her own fucking self pity hoping she can figure out a way to get her friends back. Because to her it's not your fault, it's hers. She might seem all tough and shit but we all know she takes every mistake to heart and nobody is tougher on Rose then herself"
I was breathing heavy, my heart pounding in my chest as tears was burning behind my eyes, "So if you have even an ounce of backbone left Lissa and you really fucking love her, you better sit your ass down and talk this over with me because we need to fix this or I don't know what's going to happen. But I know one thing, I'm not loosing her again, I'm not" I said as my voice broke slightly towards the end.
I had lost her once and I wasn't going to let her go ever again. Definitely not over something like this.
The room was heavy with silence as Lissa wouldn't meet my gaze. Clenching my fist I was thinking the worst until she finally looked up. Her eyes were glossed over as she clenched her fists before she exhaled heavily.
She then moved across the room and pulled me in for a tight hug. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. We were going to fix this. I don't know how long we're going to have to talk about this but we will come up with a plan and fix this.
I know we will.
Right, Dimitri finally had it out with Lissa, what do you guys think of what happened? Did he handle it in the right way or do you think he should have done it differently?
Lot's of love x
