The Christmas holidays had came to a close and Wilhelm knew what he would soon face. Lying backstabbers, people who have misunderstood everything and people who he had used to love, unsure if they felt the same way anymore.

He was trying to prepare himself for tomorrow both physically and mentally. Pacing back and forth in his extravagant bedroom with the floorboards creaking with every step he took. Until he heard a few consecutive knocks on his bedroom door.

Wilhelm pried the door open to see that it was on of the maids.

"Her majesty sent for you prince Wilhelm." Said the scrawny maid ushering Wilhelm out off his room, leading him to the dining room where he sat down and was presented his meal.

His mother staring blankly into his eyes and his father not exchanging any glances at him. The empty seat next to Wilhelm felt like an empty hole in his heart, where Erik once filled with his joyful expressions and playful aura.

"Wilhelm, we think it's best if you stop meeting Simon." Wilhelm's mother finally spoke up.

Wilhelm shot her a deadly look but still didn't reply.

"And, it's best to stick with August as he is family".

"What? You know what he did right? This is unbelievable, it's like you don't even fucking care what I want! You never asked how i felt about any of this! Everything had to be your way because you wanted to protect the crown and our reputation! Well I don't want to be part of this fucked up mess of a family!" Wilhelm got up and marched out of the room with several emotions swirling his head. Rage, Betrayal, sadness and loneliness. He felt he had nobody.

Once Wilhelm had packed all his belongings he collapsed onto his bed and couldn't help but let the tears fall. This intense emotion welling up inside him was finally coming out. He plugged in his earphones and played his music to distract him from the real worries. 'No surprises' by Radiohead playing in his ears as his eyes let out their true feelings. The emptiness was hollowing. He couldn't help but think about the moments where he was most happy, and all of them had Simon in them. He couldn't deny the fact that he still loved Simon, but he was unsure of Simon feeling the same way as he did. Not after everything he had done.

The time was 2:47am and Wilhelm couldn't sleep. He had billions of thoughts swarming his mind. Nothing could help. He decided to do something about it. He creeped out of his room and down the stairs to where they kept their first aid kit and medicines. They had everything, even sleeping pills. He decided that the would take the lot to hillerska. His parents wouldn't notice. They don't even get things for themselves, always ordering maids and servants to do it for them.

Wilhelm crept up the stairs and took some of the pills and packed the rest into his suitcase. He didn't even need his music to fall asleep. And with that he was out like a light. A peaceful rest to prepare him for the long term ahead of him.
