Sometimes it snows in April

The beginning of the ball

I stare at the ceiling of my loft. It's white, too white to comfort anyone. Yesterday I saw the man I used to love, the man I still love, the man I mistreated. I'm so extremely mad at myself but also at him. I feel so conflicted but mad at the same time. He discarded me like I was nothing. I don't know why I feel so furious. I look at the paintings in my loft he made. I own like 40 from the ones Theo made. If I'm honest they're better than my paintings.

I'm so fucking nervous, they're styling my hair and touching up my make up. We need to leave in an hour and I'm not ready. I feel rushed and so  nervous to be around people like the queen. I put on my suit and look in the mirror, I'm wearing beautiful diamond earrings and hair in fongerwaves. It's beautiful I look beautiful. I look royal I can't wait for Theo to see it. You might even say I look rather royal

I'm waiting for April with Cyril. Cyril is perfecting my hair. I'm agitated. I'm pacing I try not to but it feels like I can't contain my excitement and my anxiety. Cyril is very frustrated that I won't stop moving while he tries to make the last adjustments. I can't wait to see April. I'm sure he's beautiful like always. I hear someone walking down the stairs I look up and April is walking down. He's wearing a very beautiful white suit with embroidered flowers as details. His long hair is styled in a femenine way and he almost looks like a woman with the little touch of make up. He's more beautiful than any person I've ever seen. He looks like an angel, he's wearing white heels. I'm grateful I'm taller. I walk towards him. "You are so fucking beautiful my love." I kiss him. My eyes are watering. "You look heavenly, I can't believe you are mine" "I can't believe I'm yours either." Everything is so surreal. It's as if we are the only people who matter at this moment. I want to pretect him at all costs.  

We arrive at the palace. I step out the car and help April out of the car. The flashing of cameras is hard on our eyes but we trg our best not to looks stupid. I smile at April. "It'll be fine" I whisper. We walk into the great halls of the palace. April is mesmerized by the halls. The twinkle in his eyes show his affection for the beauty of this. We arrive in a big hall with a lot of people someone announces my arrival. The queen walks towards me immediately. "Clement you look impeccable" "thank you your highness." "As does your um" "this is April, my partner." "Thank you" "I can't wait to get to know you young man" "ma'am, he's gender non specific, so more like young person I'd say" she laughs. April laughs a bit akward.

I'm looking at my phone when I get a notification. It's about the new prince, so about Theo I open it. It's a picture of him and tbe most beautiful young man I've ever seen titled the new prince and the mystery partner. I am furious. How can he move on like I've never been   a part of his life and lock the door of my loft and walk towards his paintings and the paintings I made of him I want to destroy him before I realize I can use them in another way

The table we're sitting at is massive and filled with Lords, ladies and knights. So many famous people at the same table is so extremely weird. There's someone playing a cello. Theo is sitting in front of me, a young lord is sitting beside me maybe barely even a grown . It's so bizarre how people at that age are sometimes seen as the Lord of a manor. Everything here is bizarre. Theo smiles at me and that makes all of this worth it. He makes everything worth. I discover that the lord's name is Ernest and knows Theo from school. They were quite friendly with eachother. They used to train fencing together they have both won a championship. It's so cool. Than there's Julian who first met Theo in Italy where they were following a painting class at a famous museum. All these people know things about Theo he doesn't show me it's funny how different these people see him. A beautiful lady with scarlet lipstick tells me that Theo was a mysterious person back in highschool. Theo tells me he switched highschool frequently because of bullying and because he'd always get in trouble because of it. the food arrives. When I taste it I'm so extremely flabbergasted, I've never eaten anything like it before it's better than anything I've ever had. It tastes proffesional but still homemade. Chic but not overdone. He knows almost everybody. Even very famous actors. There's a very famous actor he knows from school, another prince and so many more people. Everybody is interesting and well educated. I don't feel like I fit in but I don't care honestly. 

After the food we begin to dance. It's magical. I feel how everyone wants to feel. Theo's eyes are glistening with joy. I'm glad they are. The only thing I want is that he is happy.  The dancing is so cool, the music is wonderful and I feel like I'm on a bridgerton episode or something. It's marvelous, even the posh people are nice to me. Later I'm standing outside with theo with a glass champagne and he's smoking a cigarette. "April" "yes my love?" "I need to tell you something" I look at him he stares into the night. "Do tell" "I told you that I was going to the doctors because of a routine check-up." I nod "I lied," I nod I already knew. "I might have lung cancer." I look at him. "Okay, if that is the case we'll get over it" he nods "they say it's probably nothing though so don't be scared my love" I kiss him. "Nothing can make me abandon you." He smiles with tears in his eyes. "You are the first one in my life who'd say that" I kiss him. We look at the first stars of the night. "Look a falling star" "what do you wish?" He ask. "To be with you, it this life and the next one, till eternity." He chuckles. "What?" "I don't believe we go somewhere after death or we get to have another life. Life is precious because you can only have it once. I don't believe in a god. Because he'd be a piece of shit if he kills so many people. So many good people." I smile. "Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they deserve better than the world maybe they deserve the world. Vincent van Gogh once said that to love is the best way to know God. Maybe you didn't love enough." He scoffs "I loved but nobody loved me back" "well, now I do" he smiles and the world is silent for him
