Shattered Wishes ((Watty's 2015 Entree))- COMPLETED

Chapter 14

Rose POV

I walked out of the Hospital, feeling helpless as ever. I, emotionally, was fine as ever, but physically- mentally I was drained,sucked dried. I sighed and didn't know what else to do. Yes, I wanted to tell Dimitri, but I thought he was better off not knowing. If there was any indication, I had to at least tell Lissa, but could I trust her enough to not say a word to Dimitri? I didn't know and that ate me up all the way. I hated not telling them all what was wrong, but, I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I looked at the car and felt like I may throw up again. Hold it in, Rose, I told myself as my mom and I went back to the car. I had to hold out for a few minutes longer, or at least hold it as long as I could til we got back to Court. 

"You alright Rose?" My mother asked me as she drove. She hadn't said a single word after she had agreed with Dr. Liz to do more tests- which would be two days from now, if anything, she seemed out of it, like she couldn't believe this was happening to her 17 year old Daughter.  Yes, I still couldn't believe I had been diagnosed with Stomach cancer at the age of 17, but, I was designed to just roll with the punches and ask questions later. That was how I was trained, after all.

" Yes. " I said, but in reality, I felt like tossing chunks as I spoke.  Keep it in, Rose! I scolded myself. I hated that I couldn't help it, but I had to focus on anything other then the urge to puke, I just needed too. I looked over at my mother, who's face was a mask of tears.  I licked my lips and looked away. " Momma, could we hurry?" 

" Honey, I'm driving as fast as I dare on these wet roads." She replied. The weather was horrible right now. The roads were   flooded and you could barely see a thing as the wipers went through the window, but it didn't help at all. 

A few more minutes we arrived at Court and I quickly got out of the car, running over to the bushes and vomiting the mess out of my stomach. My mother had reached me and placed a hand on my back, rubbing it gently.  When I got done I quickly wiped my mouth and looked over at my Mom. I knew she was trying to be strong, but, I saw in her eyes the mental strength I  was putting her through. How she felt like she couldn't break down because she thought I might break down.  I squeezed her hand and said softly, " I'm okay... Go back to being a Guardian, Momma. That's your thing, go do it. Don't worry about me. If the Lord wants me gone, then, well, it's my time to go. " My voice was soft and like the last few times, I pulled her into a hug, letting her know that I wasn't afraid, that I was going to be alright.  With a few more reassurances from me she went back to the car, driving away to protect Rachel  Ozera. 

Adrian POV

I downed a few more drinks after Rose had left, then I went to bed, the next morning was terrible as I sat up with a wicked hangover. I quickly got up, holding on to the railing of my bed as I made my way to the bathroom. I ran the shower and quickly got in and out. After the shower I felt only slightly better as I made the way down to the cafeteria. I felt completely sick, but it should go away after I had gotten something to eat. Which, I had a huge plate of bacon and eggs with a big glass of orange juice. After that, I went to get my daily supply of Blood from a feeder. Everything was perfect until I saw Jill at a feeder. I swallowed and knew she hated to see me drunk, but, I held my own and tried to act causally as possible. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted her making her way towards me. "Adrian. We really need to talk. Outside, if you will" She said and nodded at the exit. 

Once out of the room she turned her eyes to me and said, " Adrian, I think we should break up." 

" What?" I asked in disbelief, shocked, more than anything else. " Why? We were happy.." 

" It's just that we don't fit together and I like you as a friend, and don't want to hurt you in anyway that I am doing right now. "  She said, her green eyes were apologetic. That was the worst. "Okay, we're done then. " I said and turned on my heel leaving her there in the hallway. I had walked out into the front of the court, looking down, feeling so sorry for myself. I was lost in my thoughts as I was in the staff wing that I didn't notice Rose in front of me. 

" You okay?" She asked.

" Why would you care? You acted like a bitch to me. " I stated while crossing my arms across my chest, glaring at her. 

"Oh and now you're just a drunken royal asshole who only cares about himself!" She shot back.

" Look, I am not trying to pick a fight, but you have to tel Dimitri." 

" I don't have to tell Dimitri anything! And if you say anything to him, god knows, I swear I'll hurt you!" She growled at me. 

Dimitri's POV

I heard arguing outside my room, and it sounded a lot like Rose and Adrian's voices. I put my book down, sticking a bookmark in it as I got up, walking to the door as I opened it. "What is going on?" I asked just as Rose tackled Adrian to the ground. I quickly ran over to them, pulling Rose off of him. "Rose! Stop! You don't hurt a Moroi like that!" I snapped as she thrashed in my arms. 

" Let go of me Dimitri!" She said in an angered voice. 

"Rose, I'm not letting you go until you have calmed down." I said and eyed Adrian as he brushed himself off, glaring at Rose. "Is someone going to tell me what the hell is going on here?" I asked as I held tightly to Rose to make sure she doesn't gouge Adrian's eyes out. 

" You want me to tell him, or should you?" Adrian said in a harsh tone. 

I felt Rose tense as she growled at him. " You son of a bitch!" 

" Call me that all you want, Rose, but, he has the right to know, whether you tell him or I do, he will know. " Adrian said. 

I raised an eyebrow at the both of them and wondered what was going on. A few seconds passed with them not saying anything else. My heart pounded loudly in my chest as I waited. Rose looked away and shut her eyes.  

"I-I..." Her voice shook as she tried to fight her emotions. " I have Stomach Cancer, Dimitri. That's why I left. I left because I had Stomach Cancer."
