Ch.4 Friend

POV: Lissa

I'd never realized what a good friend Rose was to me, until she left for Dimitri.

Honestly, how could I have missed the attraction between them? There were a thousand small hints, but I'd never paid attention to them, too caught up in my own drama.

For example, there was that trip to the mall, before Uncle Victor had kidnapped me, in the van. The silent understanding between both of them as they made their blood promise. And then when Rose had disappeared at the ski trip, Dimitri had been sick with worry. I hadn't noticed because I was too busy worrying about Christian.

And as I watched her walk out of the Academy gates, I realized that I was officially the worst friend ever.
