Days passed like hours.

Minutes passed like seconds.
It's crazy that in three days I'll be married to Nathan.
It's almost unbelievable.
I need to talk to him. He deserves an explanation about all of this but I'm scared of how he will react.
I have barely left my room. The only time I do is to get some fresh air.
But I haven't spoken to anyone.
Elena, Ana, Ivan, and Luca have tried to talk to me but I've ignored them because I don't feel like talking.
I haven't gotten a proper sleep since I keep having dreams of Joseph trying to kill me.
And every time I close my eyes I see his bloody outstretched hand reaching for me.
I haven't fully processed everything. It all just feels so surreal.
Joseph is dead.
And I don't know how to think or feel.
He was the one sending me the roses and the notes.
He was the one giving me those creepy phone call.
And he tried to kill me.
He claimed he loved me so much and yet he tried to kill me.
But a part of me can't help but feel horrible.
I guess I'm mourning the version of the Joseph I once knew. The version I once loved. The kind and gentle Joseph.
But that version is long gone and I need to realize that.
Today is his funeral and I just know his parents are a mess right now.
Their son, their only child, is dead.
That's a kind of pain I never ever want to feel.
And he's dead because of me.
I slowly raise myself up from my bed, looking around my messy room. I desperately need to clean it.
I gently rub the back of my head, the bump is finally gone. I push the sheets off of me and get up from my bed, grabbing my robe and wrapping it around me. I can't keep lying in bed not when there's so many things I need to do.
Joseph knew so much about my mother and I want to know how.
I was so close to the truth.
I walk to my door and open it to find Luca standing in front of it with his back towards me. His head turns back in surprise that I opened my door.
"We are leaving in fifteen minutes," I tell him and his eyebrows furrow. "And I would appreciate it if you didn't tell Nathan. I know you text him every time I leave my room." My eyes go to his hand that's already grabbing his phone from his pocket.
