-"Why are you crying?"
What, I didn't know I was crying.
-"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up.
-"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees.
-"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them...
It's been 3 days and Jacob is killing me! He insists I can't go he has been ignoring me and making me do more work. I've been training nonstop, I'm back I think I can fight whoever I need.
I'm done with my daily training and I'm ready to go eat while studying medicine, at least what Merry last told me to learn, the first days of studying were tiering and horrible, however, I've come to learn enough to stop blood flow, adjust dislocated body parts, etc, I don't like to brag but I've been better and I want to help Merry!
As I enter the library I see Nol he has been really busy I guess he's making a plan with Jacob which of course I'm not told of this plan. However, he has been telling me simple details which is enough for me, hope he doesn't get in trouble.
As I'm eating on the floor at my low table where I usually work, Jacob enters the library, from the corner of my eyes I see he's talking with Nolan spearing glances at me, but I ignore him. I've been looking for a dress to wear to the ball. Oh, how long have I wanted to wear a princess-like dress! "You look like a spoiled brat to others." My mama used to scold me, that one time my father bought me a dress from one of the nearby towns. Soon I grew out of it and my mom gave it to one of the richest families to win their friendship, of course, it didn't work. My mom and dad used to travel to nearby towns, my mom insisting I don't go, and my dad the opposite... I'm just tired of thinking about it.
-"I... probably won't be able to get this dress..." I whisper to myself while looking at the pictures of the most elegant and beautiful dresses, some look sexy, and some look more on the cute side.
-"I don't want one that sexy." I tell myself.
-"What's sexy?" I hear Nolan ask behind me. -" AH! You scared me, lord... this dresses some show too much skin, you know a little bit is alright but this much... no thank you." I start to babble.
-" Oh I see, have you decided yet?" -"Um, no not yet I, uh I find most of them charming, I... just can't decide." I smile awkwardly I can't tell him it's because I'm short on money!

Just like that, another day passes I find myself on the same balcony I was when Jacob... when Jacob. Let's leave it at that.

I look at the stars sitting on the floor with one of Merry's night robes. It's unfair, this is so Unfair. I start to get angry.
I abruptly stand up and stride to Jacob's bedroom.
-"Trouble never looked so goddamn fine."
I barge in, opening the door. He is sitting on his bed without a shirt and a towel over his head, scribbling on that journal of his.
