Tomorrow is the wedding. I've been locked in my room ever since yesterday's incident. Even though I'd rather be out it's easier to stay away from Octavia this way. I know she probably hates me for disappearing on her again but it's for her safety.
A familiar quiet knock sounded at my door, tearing me away from my thoughts. "Come in Oliver." I said, my voice cracking in the process.
He walked in and when he saw me, he quickly rushed to my side and sat next to me on my bed.
"What's wrong? What happened after my father took you? Did he hurt you?"
"He started yelling at me, and then we made a deal that if I marry you and stay away from Octavia, she'd be safe and he'd forget about what he saw."
"I see.."
"What are we supposed to do now Oliver? Your father is making me stay away from her or else he'll kill her. Doesn't that mean we can't go through with the plan anymore?"
He stayed silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "I don't know what to tell you Seraphine. I wish I knew the answer but I don't."
Tears started to fall again. I went to lie back down but Oliver stopped me and pulled me into his chest. When he did that it made me break down even more.
I cried and cried into his chest, and the whole time he stayed there and held me close, smoothing my hair and telling me everything will be alright. I'm really lucky to have him. I was hoping he would actually be my brother one day.
"I'm sorry that this is happening, but I promise you I will try my best to make you happy. It won't be easy, but will make it through this."
Hours soon passed of us just staying like this. He asked me a couple of times if I wanted to walk around or get something to eat but I said no each time not wanting to risk running into Octavia.
Eventually my eye lids grew heavy, and I fell asleep.

I know I know this chapter is extra short and that makes it tragic. This is just another filler chapter to fill in gaps, and so that I don't skip around a lot. I'll post two chapters today to make up for it.
