This Life We Live- Complete

Chapter 11- Back to Montana

When the plane landed in Montana my nerves were just about shot. On the inside I was falling apart, but on the outside I was completely calm. I wasn't going to freak out when my best friend needed me. I could freak out behind closed doors. Dimitri leaned in close to my ear his breath on my neck was sending a fire through my veins, one only he could extinguish.

" Calm down Roza, I'll protect you. I promise."

I calmed immediately like he had this pull over me. It was amazing. As we walked off the plane dad had an SUV waiting for us. Somebody loaded our stuff in the vehicle and we were on our way to the Dragamir's house.

Pulling up to the house made the feeling in my stomach worse. I just knew something bad was going to happen. A car pulled up behind ours. I looked behind us to see Andre get out and walk to the passenger side opening the door. A girl stepped out, she was about 5'7" with dark blond hair, and brown eyes. She was very pretty, I guess her and Andre were an item.

Andre walked up to Lissa pulling her into a hug. I took the key I'd had for the house since I was about ten and unlocked the door. As Lissa entered she couldn't hold back anymore and broke down. Christian and I tried to help her to her room but she started shaking her head no.

" I want to go to their bedroom, please I just want to sleep there."

I couldn't tell her no. Once she was settled I told Christian to get me if she needed me for anything, and left the room. I went back downstairs and was pulled into Dimitri's arms, I felt better there. Andre looked like he had something to say, so I gave him the spit it out look.

" Ah Rose, you know me well."

He said.

" First off this is Sydney Sage my girlfriend."

We all said our hello's. She was very sweet but quiet. I figured there was more to this then just an introduction. I just had a bad feeling about it. I don't know why though.

" The funeral is tomorrow night. I have been setting everything up since I got the call. It's all done, I didn't want Liss to have to deal with anything. Also I went by the impound lot where their car is to look at it, because the police report says there was another set of tire tracks and was most likely a drunk driver. The front of their car had lime neon green paint on it. I asked them why that wasn't in the report and couldn't get an answer out of anyone."

When he said lime neon green paint my whole world started spinning. The only person with a car that color in this area was Jesse. His parents had bought him a mustang for the fact that he actually graduated high school, and about six months ago they'd for the odd paint job because he wanted it and was a spoiled kid. I felt like I would pass out, Jesse had killed Eric and Rhea and Adrian was probably with him. And they left the scene of the crime. Andre looked at me and I have no idea what my face portrayed but I felt sick. Very sick.

" What is it Rose?"

Now everyone who had been looking at him and listening was looking at me. I couldn't breath, I felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I made a run for the front door.

As soon as I was outside I threw up. Dimitri was instantly behind me holding my hair back, and rubbing my back. When I finally stopped Sydney was standing there with a glass of water. I used some to rinse my mouth out and drunk the rest of it. Andre looked worried but I knew my next words would change that. I knew he would become just as pissed as I was now.

" Jesse did it."

He stared at me like I'd gone crazy, and for a minute I hoped I had.

" Six months ago he had that mustang painted that neon green color. Andre he is the only one around here with a car that color."
