That's how long I'd been gone from Court. Yeah, I kept up with trivial stuff like that… don't ask why. I'd never been one to run from anything. I'd always been the one running into the action, hitting it head on. Take the bull by the horns and all that jazz, but not this time.

Feelings Don't Walk Away, People Do

I couldn't think of anything else. Now, two years later… I was back on Courts door step.

I stood outside, staring at the building, not sure how to proceed. Oh, by the way… I'm Rose Hathaway and welcome to my completely and totally fucked up life. Yeah, I'm so glad I could share it with you. I stared through the glass door, hearing his words repeating over and over in my head.

"Feelings don't walk away, people do." Explain?

Love fades, mine has. It was like no matter how much distance I put between me and this place, I still heard him, still saw him in everything I did. I couldn't escape it. I turned to meet the eyes of an old friend, Eddie Castille. I raised an eyebrow, completely in shock that Dimitri had opened up to Eddie like that. I was the only one I'd known him to open up too ever before he was awakened. I looked down at my feet, and took a deep breath before looked up to meet his gaze.

He went looking for you after you disappeared. Lissa was the one that told him to give up, that you were fine.

You know the bond is one way. She was just able to tell that you were still there, meaning you were alive. I just nodded, not sure what to say. The more he spoke, the worse I felt about my leaving. She eventually found out what really happened, and was okay with it. She understood how bad you were hurt. He wasn't sure what to do when you disappeared.

He was beside himself for a while. He eventually moved on. He misses you a lot though. He took it harder than a lot of us. We all know Adrian feels things more strongly than most of us do. I just nodded, realizing that I'd up and left Adrian while we were 'together'. I then felt bad. I just nodded, knowing that was what any normal person would have done in Adrian's shoes.

It doesn't make it hurt any less, Eddie. I automatically felt bed. I knew who I'd go to, who I owed the most explanation and apology.

I started towards the Ivashkov wing, praying he was in his room and I wasn't going to have to go searching for him. If I ran into Dimitri before I could talk to Adrian, I was scared I might leave again, and all of this would be for nothing. When I reached his door, I knocked and waited. I heard him moving around, and then heard the door unlock.

When the door opened, there he stood.

    We all have our preferences and personal patterns whether we know it or not about what feels comfortable and compatible. These are ingrained by our upbringing, culture, and personality preferences. You have nothing to do with those things in another person. Go back to those friends and things you used to enjoy before he came along.

    And, get involved in a new project that really captures your energy and interest. Instead, turn your attention to what you learned about yourself. This is a non-judgmental exploration. For example, I learned that: I lose awareness of what I really want. I get afraid to be on my own again. You deserve to have someone who truly loves YOU, without you having to convince or trick them into it. When you feel truly loved, you can speak your mind, share your inner most feelings and thoughts, and know a sense of relaxation and security that is a solid foundation.

    If you are in a relationship with a man whom you love dearly but he does not reciprocate that same love for you, you have a very difficult and painful decision to make… do you stay with this man despite the pain you must feel knowing he does not have love for you? Or do you walk away which is also very painful to do. Have you been together for one year or more?

    If you have been together for less than 6 months, maybe you can put in a little more time into the relationship. But make sure to have a conversation with your man, asking him about his experiences with love and how he defines love.

    Is he rude, mean or inconsiderate towards you? If so, then it does not matter how long you have been together, you do not have to put up with this negative behavior. Or is he hopeful at the prospect of loving you? Either way, if you stay or if you leave, it is a very difficult decision to make. You are basically deciding to either be patient and wait for him to love you eventually or you are leaving and will need time to heal from a broken heart. Make sure that you take your time making this decision and you have had many thoughtful conversations with your partner prior to making such a decision.

    I kind of stalked a guy when I was younger. I however, became a daily diner, trying to get him interested in me.
