I may not be physically alone but mentally, there is no one in sight. Once the heart gets too heavy with pain, people don't cry. They just turn silent, completely silent but not dead. It's been a year since Charles and I had finally ended our one year and three months of relationship, my mind can barely remember what happened but my heart can recall every single moment.

So, after that night? When I woke up next morning, I'm already back into my human form and I was completely exhausted even though I didn't really do anything at all. We just talked, danced and basically laughed at each other's stories but despite those memorable facts? I don't know, I feel so worn out because I cried the entire night.

I'm mad at myself for running away without any proper explanation but I'm afraid to tell him the truth about me because I knew that he might not understand, he will definitely run away like he saw a monster and he will probably never ever talk to me nor come near me ever again.

Of course, I love Charles but I don't know if he would still feel the same if he found out the truth about me and the curse.

I mean, it's 2020 and everything is modern now. Who the hell would believe in such things like curse? Witches? Magic? Enchanted rose? A girl who can speak with animals and who's able to understand them without having a hard time?

An elementary might believe in me and this whole curse story but a grown up businessman? Seriously? I don't want him to think that I'm crazy because I'm not, I'm completely sane and I wished that my reality will turn into a fantasy because it's better to stay that way. Unfortunately, my reality seems like a fantasy but it's not.

The following day, Charles and I are still fine. He said that he didn't mind that I have to go home first, he asked me about the reason why it seemed like I did something wrong at home but he didn't force to tell me the truth. He just let me be, he told me that he understood if I can't tell him the real reason for now.

After he went back from that business meeting, he completely changed and I can no longer recognize him at all. It feels like the old Charles disappeared and went away because something happened, his brother and his Dad passed away due to the unexpected aircraft accident.

The airplane crashed completely, everyone almost died and one of those people who didn't make it was his father and his brother. He was too frustrated, grieving and probably in great pain because he never expected that to happened in a single second. He was blaming himself but I don't know why.

Ever since that day, the old Charles that knew was long gone and the day that I thought would never come suddenly appeared in front of me. A friend of mine saw his Instagram post, he's with a girl. He and that woman is making out in front of their friends, classmates and basically some of their family members but I'm not sure about that part because they were having a party at somebody else's house.

When I confronted him about it, he told me that he wanted to end our relationship and I couldn't hide the fact that I'm in pain because of our break-up. I cried and cried, I confessed to Lola Andreanna but I made sure that Prynce won't get dragged down because of my problems even I knew that he's aware about my relationship with Charles.
