"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

Down on me

All the sounds you make

With every breathe

You take it's unlike anything

When you're loving me

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**

It's not like me

To walk away

Walk away

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.
