On The Rocks, With A Twist -CHAP.04--VA-
After their little talk, Joey actually did as her mother had said and attempted to be a little nicer to Adrian. She knew that Mela wouldn't have told her to do so for nothing. This apparent 'rough break-up' he'd been through must have been quite a big deal.
Plus it actually made her quite curious. From what she knew of Adrian, he was the heart-breaker. Not the other way around. But then maybe she didn't really know Adrian at all. She hadn't seen him for six whole years - people could grow up a lot in that time. Sure, he still aggravated the hell out of her, but maybe her childhood grudge was still clouding her opinion and that was maki

Chapter 1 - Nightmares
RPOV
I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs. Holy shit! By this point I was sobbing, thinking of the awful nightmare I just had. I saw all the events of Spokane again but then at the end, I was in a meadow just inside St. Vlad's wards and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I spun around with the speed of a Strigoi and saw-Mason. Or his ghost anyway. He told me it was all my fault he was killed and then I got pulled out of the wards. Just as the Strigoi was about to bite me, I woke up. I wasn't sure what to do next. Dimitri. I need Dimitri. I walked to the end of the hall and the dorm matron watched me wa

Chapter 2 - I Just Can't Seem to Give a Fuck
RPOV
Great. Just fucking great. My first class of the day is with Stan fucking Alto. And Eddie's in my class. By now he has to know about this mornings incident. I'm sure he'll give me shit as soon as I see him.
"Rose!" Eddie called as I walked in the door, surprisingly a minute early. Then he did something that shocked me; he walked over and hugged me! WTF? "Are you okay? Lissa said you acted weird this morning when she talked to you. Plus you look really tired." Yeah, like you actually care, I thought.
"I'm fine, Eddie...or I was until you started to sufficate me," I said when he held me tigh

Chapter 3 - Saving Her
DPOV
I watched, stunned, as Roza turned from me and stormed out the door. What the hell is going on with my girl. Stop it, Dimitri! She is not your girl and never will be! Not only is she too good for you but she's your student! She is seventeen years old, for God's sake! I mentally scolded myself. My thoughts hurt me more than I should allow. I've told her I can't let myself love her but it's too late. I'm in too deep. Roza is perfect and I love her. Now I need to find out what's going on with her.
I stayed in the gym a while longer, working out my frustrations but when dinner time came, I had to head to the commons

Chapter 4 - Why Me?
RPOV
I got to my room five minutes later and collapsed on my bed, crying. You're still not good enough. No matter how skinny you make yourself, he'll never love you. I buried my face in my pillow and screamed at the top of my lungs. Once that was out of my system I slit my wrists for the second time that day, put on some sad music, and curled into myself on my bed.
"Rose? Come to dinner?" came through the bond from Lissa. I sighed and got up, walked to the bathroom and fixed myself up so I didn't look quite so horrible. I covered my wrists and was in the commons five minutes later. I saw Dimitri but didn't acknoledge hi

Chapter 5 - Why Her?
DPOV
Two weeks earlier
Rose was in my room. And we were kissing. Frantic, passinate kisses. She was wearing only underwear and I coudn't help but stare at this amazing creature before me. I was only in my boxers and she seemed to like the view as much as I did.
"Roza, I love you," I murmured against the warm, soft skin of her neck.
"I love you too, Dimitri," my Roza whispered. She was finally mine. My Roza. Just as we got rid of the rest of our clothing-
My phone rang. "Fuck!" I swore in Russian.
"Belikov," I answered a bit irrate.
"Guardian Belikov, I'm sorry to wake you but there's screaming coming from Ms. Hath

Chapter 6 - Take Me Away
RPOV
I woke up in the clinic with Dimitri holding my hand. He looked so, so worried. We studied each other for a few moments.
"Roza," he started, "Dr. Olenski is going to put you on antidepressants. Also, you are going to be eating meals specifically designed to get your weight back up to healthy levels. I'll be by your side most of the time to make sure you're making progress and healing. I'm here for you, Roza. Please talk to me."
"Can you take me back to my dorm please? I have homework," I said, looking down. He nodded and we left. We had to stop to get my antidepressants and discharge me from the clinic. Then

Chapter 7 - Home
RPOV
"Dimitri? What if we get caught?" I asked softly as we drove to the front gates.
"We won't," he told me. He sounded so sure, I just didn't know if I believed it yet. "Roza, why don't you pick the radio station for once?"
"Really?" I asked, shocked. He nodded and I didn't waste another second, turning the dial until I found a pop/rock channel. What the Hell by Avril Lavigne came on and I smiled softly. Dimitri got to the gate by now and talked to the guardian on duty and he let us out. Dimitri claimed he was taking me shopping to help me feel better and it was cleared by Alberta and Kirova. I honestly wasn't surprised

Chapter 8 - All I Know
RPOV
We were both silent as we boarded the plane, but it was comfortable silent. We had no need for words, we just craved each other's pressence after so long of being apart. Dimitri gave me the window seat and he sat beside me. Thankfully, the aisle seat was empty so we had some privacy. I rested my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me as best as he could with the armrest in the way. As we cuddled together, I felt the need to make sure he wasn't going to leave me.
"Comrade?" I asked. He looked down at me with a small smile, so I continued, "You're not just doing this because of my breakdown, right?
