For years I cried

Chapter 21

I couldn't believe Adrian would do this, I knew he liked me but I didn't ever think he would purposely ruin my life. He knew how much I loved Dimitri, he said he could see it in my aura.

I remember seeing him the last time, he saw me so upset about Dimitri leaving. He was there when I found out I was pregnant, he saw how lost I was without him in my life, he said he would do anything to help me. Liar.

"Lissa take Elena back home." She nodded and held out her hand for Elena to take "Dimitri go back with them." Dimitri shook his head

"I want to come." He answered

"You took Lissa away from court in the middle of the night. Bad things happen at night Dimitri, are you really that stupid?" He looked hurt for a second before putting on his guardian mask

"I did it for you!" I shook my head outraged

"You could of been attacked!" I yelled "Your a trained guardian, how could you put her life in danger?" He didn't answer

"I wanted to come Rose. Blame me, not him." Lissa said

"I'm sorry." I said truthfully "just please take Elena home, Dimitri you go with them. I'll be back in the morning, I promise." Lissa nodded.

"Where are you going?" Asked Dimitri, his accent coming through strong

"I'm going to Adrian. I need an explanation." Lissa looked surprised

"But we don't know where Adrian is? You said you hadn't seen him since you were pregnant?" I looked away guiltily

"I lied. Me and Adrian still speak." Lissa gasped

"Why would you lie? You said that you hadn't seen him, you know how worried I was about him!" She yelled

"He was in a bad condition, I didn't no why but now I do. All the compulsion he was using from helping Tasha, it's the darkness." I shook my head "just leave. Please. I'll see you soon." Lissa nodded and so did Dimitri

"Okay." They both said.

After they left I got straight into my car, all thoughts of leaving were left behind. Don't get me wrong, I didn't forgive Dimitri and I certainly wouldn't let him back into my life but it didn't mean I had to run away. I realised that I wasn't that weak.

The drive to Adrian's new house was 2 hours, 2 hours of deciding how I was going to react. Did I scream and shout and go in like I used to do or do I ask for an explanation? I had decided on the latter but who knew! With my temper any could happen!

I drove there in silence, letting scenarios play through my head, the outcome ended the same. Me losing one of my closest friends, I had to keep reminding myself that he had betrayed me. How could I ever let myself forgive him? He had sabotaged one of the good things to happen in my life. I had truly loved Dimitri with all my heart, and he had snatched it away from me without a second thought.

The more I thought about it the madder I got, how dare he! How dare he do something so selfish and horrible! I realised in that moment that I couldn't keep my anger under control, if I saw Adrian I truly would kill him. I needed to calm down first.

For the rest of the drive I tried to distract myself, I thought about Lissa and Elena, I even thought about the good times I had had with Dimitri, before he left.

Before I let myself get out of the car I calmed myself some more, I repeated to myself that I wouldn't get angry. I couldn't let myself.

I knocked on the door and waited.

"Little Dhampir? How can I help you?" He asked as he opened the door.

BAM!!
