Dimitri and I had been through so much together. After all that we had experienced together, we deserved our happily ever after. And no one had the right to take that away from me, not even my parents.

Dimitri was my happiness and he'll always be my happiness. If my parents cared even a little about me, they'd let me be with him.

I loved my parents so very much. They've always let me do what I wanted. They have always been fair with me. So I didn't understand why they were doing this to me now.

I needed a reason from then. If they can't give me a good reason for why I can't be with him, then they can't get mad at me. I loved Dimitri more than anything. They can't take him away from me. I won't let them. No one can take him away from me. Even the Shadow couldn't. I fought for him then and I will continue to fight for him now.

Dimitri was waiting outside for me while I was in the hospital bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and gaped at how I looked. I looked horrible. I couldn't believe I looked like this in front of Dimitri. The horror was really getting to me. My hair was a mess, my skin looked so pale and dull and my eyes looked very tired and sunken in. How the hell had he not dumped me yet? If I was him, I would have dumped me already. I looked so ugly.

I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush and toothpaste I was provided with and washed my face. I then ran my fingers through my hair to try to make myself somewhat presentable, but I was failing miserable. I fussed with my hair for a very long time, until I heard Dimitri knocking on the door asking if I was okay.

"I'm fine." I called back, struggling with my hair some more.

"Are you sure?" He asked, the worry in his voice still there. "Do you want me to come in? Or do you need me to call a nurse?"

"I'm fine Dimitri. I promise." I replied back, smiling at how cute he was when he worried over me. These were the moments when I felt so loved and cared for. There were still times though where I couldn't believe that Dimitri actually loved me back. It was just so hard to believe that someone like him would go for an average girl like me, especially with the way I looked right now.

Once I had untangled my hair as much as I possibly could, I walked out to find Dimitri waiting for me. He looked so happy as he opened his arms for me. I immediately walked into them, loving the warmth only he could provide. I felt like I was home. He was my home.

We stood like that in comfortable silence before I decided to talk to him about my parents. "Dimitri." I said looking up at him.

"Yeah Izzie." He said with a tender look in his eyes as he stared down at me. I felt weak at the way he was looking down at me. I took a deep breath and mentally told myself to snap out of it and focus. I needed to discuss this with him.

"What are we going to do? My parents really don't want us to be together. They think you're going to hurt me and they won't listen. I don't know what to do Dimitri! They told me to choose between them and you." I said looking up at him. A frown settled down on his face, his hold on me tightening significantly.

"I understand why they'd think that, but they should know that I'd never do that. It wasn't me who hurt you. Yes it was my fault, I clearly failed at protecting you but I'd never knowingly hurt you." He said resting his head on top of mine. "You know Izzie, they don't need to know we're together. I don't want you ruining your relationship with your family. So don't tell them that you're still with me. Tell them we broke up."
