Its been a few weeks since Dimitri reunited me with my father. We have kept in contact. A FaceTime chat everyday to catch up on the past two years. I have never felt more happy.
Dimitri and I now live together. After what he did we grew even closer than before and we wanted to make things more official. Its been the best 3 weeks of my life.
I was cleaning the apartment today as I didnt have work and Dimitri was due back any minute. I heard a knock at the door. Must be Dimitri forgetting his keys again.
"Seriously Dimitri you forgot-" I paused when I saw it wasn't Dimitri at the door but a man who I faintly recognise. 
"Your Adrian right?" I asked confused of why he was here.
"Yes it is, Rose. Now you may be thinking why am I here," he started. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at me.
"Im here to avenge my family." I heard distant footsteps. The ones I recognised.
"Dimitri! Help!" I screamed. Adrian looked displeased with my shouting and pulled the trigger. I tried to duck from it but I felt the immense pain in my shoulder. I fell to the ground my vision going blurry. I was going to die. I tried my best to keep my eyes open. I faintly saw Dimitri knock out Adrian and run to me.
"Roza! Roza! Stay awake love! I cant loose you!" He cried. He lifted me up and carried me bridal style.
"Im tired. Im just gonna close my eyes." I said weakly. My internal self was screaming for me to stay awake but my body was struggling.
"Roza please stay awake. I need you here with me. I cant live without you." he cried over my body. I tried my very hardest using the last of my energy to keep my eyes open and my heart beating until we got to the hospital.

Dimitri ran into the hospital with me in his arms shouting like a lunatic. "Help! She's been shot in the shoulder! You need to help her!" my vision was getting duller and duller with every passing moment. Nurses surrounded me and rushed me into surgery. That was the last thing I remembered of that day. I'm guessing I either blacked out from the pain or the doctors put me under whilst I was being operated on.

I sat in the waiting room silently crying to myself. She had to be okay. I cant loose her, not like this. I loved her too much to let her go now. On the way to the hospital I did call the police and they have arrested the man that shot my Roza.
After hours if pacing, crying and mumbling to myself, the doctor came through and told me that she was is only just stable but is doing okay. The sigh I gave off was full of relief that my love was okay.
"Can I see her?" I asked wanting to hold her hands and feel her skin on mine. He nodded and lead me to the room where Rose was. She was hooked up to a machine beeping away. Some may find it annoying but it relaxed me as it represented her strong heartbeat. I sat on the olive green leather chair that was beside her and took her cold pale hand in my string warm hands. Seeing her like this weak and pale was so strange. She is always had a tanned colour to her skin and her body was muscular from the training we had been doing together but at the same time seemed so fragile and boney.

After a while of just sitting there watching her 'sleep' a man barged into the room. It was Abe.
"Who did this to my little girl?" He almost growled like an animal. He walked to the other side of her. And stroked her hair.
"His name was Adrian. He has been arrested and sent to a cell until trial on attempted murder. If I ever get my hands on him-" I got lost in my train of thought of what I would do if we ever crossed paths. He would be dead before he even noticed I was coming.
"Dimitri, son, we will get our justice. I have contacts on the inside. We will get our revenge don't worry he will pay for what he did to Rose." He said looking at me but still stood at Rozas side.
"Im gonna go get a room at the nearest hotel I will be back after I have freshened up." He said after half an hour of silent prayers for Rose to wake. I nodded and he left the room.
"Rose please wake up. I need you too, please. I don't even want to comprehend my life now without you in it, in my world. Just give me a sign that you are in there." Her heartbeat started to quicken slightly. I smiled knowing she could here me. I placed a kiss on her forehead. All of a sudden the pulsing on the machine slowed and I went into panic mode.

Nurses came rushing in and took out an oxygen mask and a heart defibrillator. I was pushed into the corner. Tears falling down my face. Had I done something? Could I have caused her more pain? Is she dying right in front of me? I feel so helpless.

After twenty minutes if trying to restart her heart beat they managed to get it back and keep her living. She was still asleep and I was crying over her cold body. She wasn't dead but her body looked like it was.
I felt like I was losing her even though they said she was stable. I just need her to wake up. I need her back in my arms watching movies and laughing. Or even just watching her make dinner. Anything of the norm. I dont know how long I was staring out into nothingness until I fell asleep and dreamed of my Roza awake and us getting married. I was woken by a voice.
