Rhea's POV

Thalia sat on her bed, studying for an exam while I texted Pia. She wanted to plan a road trip in February. I agreed and we started to decide the details. Then someone knocked on the door. My roommate made no movement to open it so I went to do it myself. Hadrian stood there covered with bruises and looked like he was finding it difficult to breathe.

"Oh my god," I whispered. He was shaking and on the verge of passing out. I grabbed the arm that wasn't clutching his chest and helped him enter my room. Thalia didn't glance up. Hadrian slumped to the ground before reaching my bed. I slapped his face to try and keep him awake.

"F*ck. Hadrian! Stay awake." His eyes flicked closed. I was panicking. "I thought you healed quickly."

He coughed then grunted in pain. "I do but I slowed it."

"Why? Why would you do this to yourself?" I said exasperated. His eyes shut making him look dead. "Sh*t. Sh*t Hadrian!"

I reached into his pocket and got out his phone. Luckily, there was no password so I called his brother. Seth picked up after a few rings.

"Hello? Hadrian?"

"It's Rhea. Your brother got into a fight or something. I don't know. But he's unconscious and I don't know what to do."

Seth mumbled a few words. "Okay. Fill a tub with water and put him in. Let him drown though."

"If you want to kill your brother, do it yourself."

"He's my brother. I wouldn't ever kill him...unless he ate my Cheetos. Anyway, he won't die because he can't. It would only cause his body to heal quicker like giving him an electric shock."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

I hung up. I tried to drag Hadrian's body towards the bathroom and used my magyk to fill the bathtub. Shakily, I did manage to get him to stand up and put him into the water. My heart was pounding as it looked like I killed him and he wasn't making any movement to prove to me that I hadn't.

Please wake up, I repeated in my head. I waited and waited. Then he finally reacted. Gasping, he opened his eyes and grabbed the sides of the bath to pull him out of the bath.

"F*ck," he swore.

Hadrian climbed out then dropped to the ground causing water to spill as well. He ran his hands through his wet hair and started taking off his shirt.

"I should go now," I muttered. He smirked.

"You've seen it all before."

I let out a sigh of relief. He would be fine. "You scared me. I thought you were going to die."

"Not today, princess," Hadrian began removing his jeans.

"Then why did you pass out? And why weren't you healing?" I asked, turning around to face the wall.

"Because my body was healing like a mortal." He leaned over me to pull a towel off the shelf. I gave him a moment then turned back.

"Should I ask why you were beaten up?"

"Probably not." The angel walked out of the bathroom in only a towel which turned into black sweatpants. I followed him and saw that he was laying in my bed as if it was his. Thalia for once was not looking at her book and was frowning at Hadrian.

"I'm not staying in here if he's here too," she said.

"He's going," I told her but Hadrian shook his head.

"I have nowhere to go."

"What about your dorm?"

"My roommate's having a party there and I'd rather not join."

Thalia glared at him. "Rhea, tell your boyfriend to go so I can study."

"He's not my boyfriend. Hadrian, go."

He got up as if he wasn't topless, a sight which was slightly distracting. Hadrian grabbed Thalia's text book then threw it out of the room. She slowly turned red with anger and started to swear at him.

"Go somewhere else and study," he said before pushing her out of the room and slamming the door.

"That was rude," I told him, folding my arms.

"Too f*cking bad."

Thalia continued to shout but I knew she was going away as her voice got quieter. Hadrian wrapped an arm around my waist and dragged me into my bed. He lay down on his back with me looking down at him on his chest.

"You're being very demanding today."

"It's not everyday that I get to see you," he said . His hand trailed under my tank top to the dip in my spine, causing me to shiver slightly.

"You saw me before."

"I know but we were interrupted and I believe we were having a very important discussion about what we are."

"I can't be your girlfriend," I blurted out.

His eyes turned a shade darker. "Why the f*ck not? Because I'm not doing any friends with benefits sh*t. Tried it once and it didn't work out well."

I frowned at the thought of him doing anything with a girl. "I promised Pia I wouldn't fall for you."

"And how's that working out?"

"Terribly," I admitted quietly.

Hadrian rolled us over so he was hovering above me, staring at me intently. "I don't f*cking care what anyone says or does, even if they repeatedly kill me. You are mine and I'm yours. And f*ck anyone who tries to take you from me."

"Including Pia?"

"Most especially her," he muttered then pressed his lips to mine. The mood instantly switched. One of his hands kept him from crushing me while the other roamed under my top, revealing more and more skin. I legs wrapped around his hips, pulling the lower half of his body closer to mine. My hands ran up his muscular chest but gripped his shoulders when he moved his mouth to my throat, leaving marks that would appear the next day.

I was melting and the promise I made was slowly crumbling away. Hadrian smirked against my jaw, aware of the effect he had on me. And I didn't mind at all.

INTERVIEW with THALIA

Nyx: Hey T!

Thalia: Who are you?

Nyx: ...Friend of Rhea

Thalia: Oh... (begins to walk away)

Nyx: (Follows) Are Hadrian and Rhea...together?

Thalia: Are you one of his groupies? ( Nyx shakes head) Okay...well, I'm not sure if they are. But they look like it.

Nyx: Do you like Hadrian?

Thalia: (gags) He's a d*ck. He kicked me out of my own room to tongue wrestle with my friend.

Nyx: Very descriptive. But the most important question is do you ship Rhea and Hadrian?

Thalia: I'm a witch, not a dating site. If I was, I would be married to Harry Potter by now.

Nyx: (grins) Well, I know a girl who can totally hook you up...
