Hey Guys, So as I said I was going to start a new story but trying my hand at a vampire academy fanfic story. Please read, follow, favourite and review. All reviews are read.

I do not own Vampire Academy or the characters, all rights go to Rachelle Mead.

DISCLAIMER: THIS STORY CONTAINS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AS WELL AS RAPE/SEXUAL ASSAULT. I do have a disclaimer at the start of chapter 6 regarding DV, but with regards to Rape/Sexual Assault I've only just touched on it. I haven't gone into too much detail but it's still there. This disclaimer was added after I was abused by a guest reviewer, mainly about me as a person regarding me adding it in my story and I had also forgotten to add a proper disclaimer to start with but anyway. At this point in time Watch out for Chapters 6, 9 and 15.

I hope you enjoy

There was a time I never would have thought I'd be where I am right now. I never thought I would have made it through high school let alone graduated and graduated within in the top 10 highest graded students at my school. That was a big accomplishment for me especially being the only one in my family to have even made it through to final year.

Yet somehow my family didn't care, they weren't there through most of my high school experience, they weren't there when I got my heart broken for the first time, they weren't there when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do after school and then when I did decide to go to university they weren't there through me choosing what I wanted to study or the application process. They weren't even there at my graduation, when I got my letter of acceptance to NYU just after graduation they didn't care, there was no congratulations Rose, no nothing.

Luckily I had been working so I had saved pretty much everything I earnt to go towards supplies, and I was even lucky enough to get a scholarship as well as a little bit of financial aid because well my parents didn't work so they pretty much had no income. But that's not what I should be thinking about right now, right now as I move into my shared apartment with a girl whose name was Lissa, she also happened to be my best friend, I should be thinking more about where everything needs to go, when to start unpacking and what else I needed to do as well as get before classes started for me in a couple days.

Lissa was lucky, she was still on holiday with her boyfriend Christian in Rome since her classes didn't start until next week. However, before Lissa had left she had packed everything of her own up in boxes and left them in her room at the house she shared with Christian and his Aunt Tasha so all I had to do was go around and see Tasha and get them loaded on the truck.

We're the only family Lissa has left so when her parents and brother died Tasha was nice enough to let her live with them. It made things easy too since I was more than welcome to stay anytime I needed to get away from my house, only they know what my life was like and I thank them for being there for me when none of my family were.

And it also made it easier for me to grab Christian's things since he was also attending NYU, it made sense for me to grab all of our stuff, Christian's house mate, a guy named Eddie knew I was coming to drop Christian's things off while they were still on holiday, which I had done this morning. Now all that was left was to unload mine and Lissa's stuff off so the removal guys could go home.

Then it was up to me to start unpacking everything apart from Lissa's room. We made the decision to go out and buy household items we would need for the Kitchen, Laundry, Dining room and Lounge room together, we even pack it all into boxes together. We made sure to mark all the boxes of what room they needed to go into to make it easier however moving is a bitch and I was glad I wouldn't have to do it again anytime soon.

As the truck pulled up at our apartment, I smiled when I saw Eddie pull up beside it. "Hey Rose, I figured you would need some extra pairs of hands after what I saw this morning so I brought some friends." He nodded his head behind him and when I glanced over two guys jumped out the car. One with red hair and the other was a tall guy with messy styled hair.

"Adrian and Mason, this is Rose. Rose's best friend is dating my new housemate. Which reminds me, do you know when Christian and Lissa are due back?"

"Nice to meet you both" I smile at them but can't help but notice Adrian who clearly styled his hair messy kept staring at me, I had to admit he was definitely good looking. "Lissa has classes at the start of next week so I'm assuming sometime over the weekend, they didn't actually give me an actual day but I can call Christian's aunt and ask her, I'm pretty sure she would know because I think she's picking them up from the airport." Eddie nodded his head as way of saying okay before the boys helped the movers unload the truck.

I put a map of the apartment on the front door and made sure each room was labelled as a way to help the guys out. "All the boxes should be labelled and there's a map on the front door to make it easier to work out which room is which. If there's any boxes not labelled just put them in the lounge room and I'll sort them out later." I tell them as I walk to my car to unload what little I have in there, mostly it's all just my stuff I was using and was packed last night and some extra stuff of Lissa's I found after the truck was closed up that Tasha and I packed quickly.

My car was unpacked quickly and when I turned to start helping the guys, Adrian put his arm out to stop me. "Leave it to us, I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." As he spoke he reached his hand out to brush some hair out my face, when I looked back up at him he quickly pulled his hand away and stepped back looking embarrassed. I smiled at him "I'm sure there are some light boxes in there somewhere I can carry." This made him laugh a little.

By the time the truck was unpacked it was almost time for dinner and boy was I hungry as. Once the truck and movers were gone, I asked the boys if they wanted to stay and have some take out. Eddie knew the best place nearby that did delivery so while he ordered Adrian, Mason and I opened the kitchen boxes trying to find some plates, cutlery and cups.

I opened one of the boxes that was brought in last and found some plastic ones that would be just fine for tonight. We settled down on the floor around the coffee table and started talking, getting to know each other. Once the take out was delivered we put all the food in the middle of the coffee table so we could easily just take what we wanted and Adrian poured our drinks.

The food was amazing, once it got late the boys decided to head home. I thanked Eddie and Mason as they walked out the door, when I turned around Adrian was standing behind me. I smiled at him and gave him a hug before saying "Thank you for helping Adrian", as I pulled back there was a smile on his face.

He started to walk out the door before turning back around, "Rose, I know this is a bit too soon to be asking but will you go out on a date with me?" Although I was surprised because we had only just met I couldn't help but smile "Yes Adrian I'd love to." We exchanged numbers and he left saying he'd be in touch soon.

I jumped in the shower to clean up and when I was about to get into bed my phone lit up. There on the screen was a message from my mother. Rose I haven't heard from you since you left, I know you think we don't care and the truth is we really don't but I would still like to hear from my daughter while she's at University.

I wanted to throw my phone across the apartment, I didn't think they didn't care I knew they didn't. I hadn't contacted them because I didn't want to talk to them, preferably ever again. I turned the light off and went to bed knowing that tomorrow would be a big day of starting to unpack, setting my room up but more importantly working out what else I needed to do and get before my classes started on Thursday.

What a great start to her new life haha Don't worry Dimitri will pop up soon.
