Rose's POV

The next few nights I spent by myself at Lissa's apartment while she was at Christians. After crying for several hours I fell into a deep sleep.

My dream began with me sitting in a pitch black room, there was nothing… Nothing at all. I felt like this was going to be a nightmare. Before the nightmare began, the scenery started to change. Soft blues covered the skies. I looked down and the pitch black ground had turned into luscious green grass. I smiled a little, this was better than before.. A lot better. I looked over and saw a figure leaning against a tree.. Adrian, of course. I didn't run over to him though, I simply sat down on the soft green grass and stared at the sky. The space next to me was filled by a figure, I didn't bother looking over to see who it was.

"Hey Little Dhampir." His velvety voice spoke quietly.

I looked over at him, not bothering to even smile in the slightest. "Hello Adrian."

He stared at me for a moment before wrapping his arm around me. "Things will be okay.."

I looked up at him, confused.. Was he talking about what I thought he was talking about..?

He smiled sadly and kissed my temple. "Things are getting round.."

I nodded and looked back at the sky, which wasn't its beautiful blues anymore, instead the most gorgeous sunset I'd ever seen.

"Are you sure? Cause even Lissa doesn't know.."

He didn't speak for a while. "Okay.. Maybe someone I know overheard Tasha speaking to someone.."

I hissed. "That fucking whore."

I swear I heard Adrian try not to chuckle when I said that, and somehow .. That made me feel slightly better.

He laid down, pulling me down with him. He gently ran his fingers through my hair as we both stared at the sunlight.

"You know.. I never get to really see the sun, only when I dream.. Usually my favourite thing to dream of.."

Of course, I thought. Adrian couldn't go in the sun. He would get very weak, and wouldn't be able to pretty much anything.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Mhm." He replied. "Do you ever miss it? The sun?"

I nodded ever so slightly. "I miss it a lot. I wish I could go out more, but I can't.. I need to do whatever makes Lissa safe, and the sun sure as hell doesn't."

He laughed a little. "Maybe you should do something that I don't know.. You want to?"

I shook my head. "I can't Adrian. I just.. I can't."

"Why not?" He sat up just enough so he could see my face without moving me.

"Because, my life is Lissa. I have to make sure that Lissa stays safe. I can't do whatever I want. As much as I do, i can't."

"Become my Guardian then. We can go wherever we want. Whenever. I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'll do anything so that you can be happy."

I sat up at this point and looked at him, dead serious. "Adrian.. I can't."

He looked almost upset, but he quickly covered it. "Why? Why can't you?"

"Because. Lissa is my best friend, I'm not just going to up and leave. And Dimitri.." I sighed.

"Is a cheating lying bastard."

"No!" I shouted. "He's not! He's an amazing guy! Okay!? He's been there for me whenever I needed him! Whenever!"

"Then where is he now, Rose?"

I looked away. "He's sleeping."

He titled my head back to look at his. "With you?" His eyes searched mine for an answer.

I closed my eyes, promising myself not to make eye contact with him. "Does it matter."

He let out a laugh with no humour. "That answers my question." I felt him stand up and that is when I opened my eyes to look up at him.

"You know Rose, there's only so long someone can wait for the one they love. There's only so long before someone can watch the one they love, love another. And there's only so much pain someone can watch the one they love, go through. And I know for sure, that that time is almost up for me. Call me if you need me."

I felt the dream start to fade. "Adrian!" I called. I didn't want to be left in a bit of darkness again.. Who knows what could happen. "ADRIAN!?" I called again.. But he'd already gone.

Adrians POV:

I sighed as I sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes and standing up. I made my way over to my little bar and poured myself a shot of vodka. Looking at the time I shrugged. "Its 5'o clock somewhere" I mumbled to myself.. or is it 6'o clock? I shrugged and downed the vodka.

I sighed as my thoughts drifted back to Rose… My precious little Dhampir. I'd never cheat on her. I'd never do anything to hurt her. I'd take her anywhere in the world she'd want to go..

The thing is, I never seem to be good enough for her.. Whatever I may say.

I poured myself another shot and drank it before I could think of her again.
