"I love you" Link told me
I love you
They are just words, like I'm sorry, they don't mean anything unless you prove it
But in many ways Link has proved that he does truly love me but in many ways he's showed that he will be easily manipulated
And he called me the naive one, I was talking to someone who I thought was my friend and I'm called naive
Maybe all those times that he accused me on cheating on him, he wished I was cheating on him so he would have an excuse to break up with me
I don't know I'm probably just spiralling "I love you so much Zel" he says again dragging me out of my thoughts
"Why cant it go back to the way it was at the start" I whisper and thats when I realise, as much as I love Link, I don't want to marry him
"We were young" he says
"We still are!" I say and he sighs
"We were kids" he says and I search through his eyes
"I'm not ready" I whisper "I don't want to settle down" I say still looking into his eyes, his mouth tells me he loves me but his eyes don't "I want to be a kid again"
"You cant Zel" he says and I sigh
"It was forcefully took away from me, I was told you need to get into this university so you have to work hard! He made me believe that was the school i actually wanted to go to" I say "and he only got harsher Link! He threatened to send me to America! Do you remember?" I ask and he nods
"I'm sorry Zelda" he says looking at his hands, there it is, I've broken him
He isn't looking at me. he's used my full name, not Zel, Zelda. No more love in his eyes, no more emotion in his voice. I should've known I would've done this. I break everything I go near
I take off the 2 rings that he had bought me and place them in his hands "It was a good 3 years" I say kissing him on the cheek before leaving my bedroom
I walk down the staircase and head straight towards my Fathers study "I don't need you blessing anymore" I say sitting in the chair opposite his desk
"This is why I didn't give it, I knew it would end up like this" he says staring out the window watching Sheik, Tay and Riju dangle their legs in the pool
"Shows how much faith you have in your daughter" I say and he sighs
"I'm sorry Zelda, how are you?" He asks, another thing I've broken, my father. Why is he being so kind? He was being like this last night, but I suppose when your daughter had just been kidnapped you should show some emotion
"Who did you call last night?" I ask
"Ganondorf's parole officer" he says and I sigh in relief
"What did they say?" I ask and he sighs
"What I thought they would" he says sitting back down in his desk "no stone cold evidence that he kidnapped you"
"WHAT! I'm right here! I was kidnapped!" I say and Riju must have heard it through the glass since she turns around and waves at me
"You could've willingly went with him" he said
"Who would willingly go with him" I scoff and my father shrugs
"Intoxicated women" he says, he has a fair point, I need to make sure I don't follow him when I get drunk I have no-one to save me now
"I'm going to go sit next to Riju" I say and he nods
"Oh and Zelda, don't get drunk tonight and if you do be supervised by someone who isn't Impa" he says and I nod before walking towards the brown doors of his study
As I reach the doors I sneak his cigarettes and lighter up my sleeve, I see Link leave and thats when the tears finally hit me
I run out to the pool, I bet I could fill this pool with the amount of tears that are falling from my eyes right now "We broke up Tay" I cry, he can probably hear this, he's not off of the property yet
"Hey it's okay" she whispers hugging me tightly "theres more people out there" she says
"None of them were like him though" I say "even he wasn't like him towards the end" I whisper "what happened?" I ask myself with a sigh
"It'll be okay Zee" she says rubbing my shoulder and I take Fathers cigarettes out of my sleeve "woah, no, no matter how sad you are lung cancer isn't the answer" she says taking the cigarettes out of my hand
"I cant even have coffee!" I whine
"Why not?" Riju asks and I frown at her
"It reminds me of him too much" I say and she shakes her head at me
"Your just being silly Zel" she says and I sigh again
"Please can I have them back so I can give them back to Father" I say and she shakes her head
"I'll do that" she says with a smile and I groan before walking back inside, I go into the hallway and watch Link leave through the large gates
"Little bird?" Urbosa says putting her hand on my shoulder "are you okay?" She asks and I shake my head
"Am I the problem?" I ask her "am I the reason why everyone leaves?" I ask her and she shakes her head
"Of course not, little bird" she says hugging me
"I don't know what happened Urbosa! He just changed! He was so loving one minute and then when we graduated he changed!" I say crying into her arms
"He'll come back, he always does" she says kissing me on the head before walking away
Even though Tay took the 'lung cancer in a packet' as she calls it, I know exactly where to get some more
"Hey Mija" I say running over to her "my father sent me to get him some cigarettes and a lighter do you know where I can find them?" I ask and she nods before giving me directions
I grab the pack of cigarettes and run to my room, I lie on my bed wishing Link would come through that door and take this stupid thing out of my mouth
I sit up before lighting it, as I take the wretched thing out my mouth the tears slip between my lips
Why does it hurt so much? Is Link feeling this terrible? I place the addictive thing back into my mouth and take another puff
