"Come on Rose. You have to!"Lissa said dragging me to the auditorium. Tonight, regretfully, was karaoke night at . Honestly who came up with this?
"Liss I don't want to. Please don't make me!" I complained trying to pull back.
"No please Rose. You're my best friend." Ah the guilt card.
"Fine!" I gave in "But I get to pick the song. Deal?"
"Deal" She dragged me along to the auditorium and I groaned the whole way. When we did make it everyone turned to look at us. I glared at them all. We sat down in one of the rows of chairs. I looked around. The guardian's were all around. Figures. I let out a huff. Why did I let her talk me into this? Some morois sung and I think I fell asleep through most of them. "Rose!" Lissa's voice woke me.
"Huh? What?" I sat up.
"Rose. It's your turn." I blinked. A spot light was on me. Oh shit. I stood up blushing and went onto the stage. The spot light was blinding. I took the mic from the moroi on stage. What the heck was I going to sing? The girl looked at me.
"Do you know what song?" Um…NO! I wanted to say. Which song? I looked up at the audience. But my eyes went straight to Dimitri. He stood at the back. Behind Tasha. Gah!
Focus Rose.Lissa thought through the bond. Right.
"Yes" I told the girl. She smiled and walked off stage. The music started to play. I loved this song. Plus it was a good one.
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile
So he won't see
What I want and
I'm needing
Everything that we should be
I bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without.My eyes flickered to Dimitri. He was starring at me. I quickly looked back to where I had been looking.
Drew talks to me
I laugh cause
It's just so funny
And I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night. I looked up again. He was looking at me. His eyes had a sparkle to them. Was he crying?
He's the reason
For the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps
Me wishing
On a wishing star
He's the song in the car
I keep singing
Don't know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell
That I can't breathe?
And there he goes
So perfectly
The kind of flawless
I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight
Give him all the love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky cause
He's the reason
For the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps
Me wishing
On a wishing star
He's the song in the car
I keep singing
Don't know why I do
So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I put his picture down
And maybe get some
Sleep tonight. By now I had tears in my eyes.
He's the reason
For the teardrops on my guitar
The only one that's got
Enough of me
To break my heart
He's the song in the car
I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up
But there's never enough
And he's all that I need
To fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile
So he won't
See…
I finished with watery eyes. I got an applause and walked off stage and out of the auditorium. A sob built in me. Why am I emotional? Get over him Rose. He's with Tasha for damned sake. I heard the double doors open. Lissa ran over to me.
"Rose! What happened? Are you alright?"I nodded.
"Yeah. Just fine. Come on let's get back" I grabbed her hand and we walked back into the auditorium. Someone else was singing and we quickly sat down. It seemed like the whole school was singing. Why do I have to be here? I swear I fell asleep again. But someone woke me up. Or someone's voice. I opened my eyes to see Dimitri on stage. What the? He was going to sing? Wow. I recognized the song. .God.
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going
Down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breathe
You take it's unlike anything
When you're loving me. I'm dreaming aren't I? He was looking straight at me! No. He couldn't be.
Oh girl let's take it slow
So as for you well you
Know where to go
I want to take my love
And hate you
Till the end
It's not like you
To turn away
From all the bullsh**
I can't take
It's not like me
To walk away
Walk away
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going
Down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breathe
You take it's unlike anything
When you're loving me
I know when
It's getting rough
All the time s
We spend
Trying to make
This love something better
Than
Just making up again
It's not like you
To turn away
From all the bullsh**
I can't take
It's not like me
To walk away
Walk away
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When you're going
Down on me
In between the sheets
All the sounds you make
With every breathe
You take it's unlike anything
When you're loving me.He winked at me. I turned around. No one was behind me. Yikes.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, was clapping. How come he'd never told me he could sing? He stepped off stage. I stood and rushed out. Tear running down my face. He couldn't be doing this. I heard someone running after me. I didn't bother to look.
"Rose!" Dimitri's voice was so close. I stopped dead.
"What?" I growled. Whoa. What's up with me?
"Please. Can you let me explain?" I shook my head.
"Why should I? You're with Tasha so why should I give a damn?" I said in a rush. I was expecting a lecture. But boy was I wrong.
Instead, he kissed me.
At first it was soft and barely a kiss but then it increased. A lot. I wound my hands into his hair. His arms snaked around my waist. He pulled back a little.
"Because. I love you." he said then kissed me again.
