TOAW Themarie : How to Poison a Swan

Chapter Twenty One

Chapter Twenty One

Matured content.

Haven woke up from a bad dream, she was breathing harshly and sweating like crazy. "Fuck." Haven hissed beneath her breath and touched her forehead, her hands wandered on her bed hoping to feel some warmth and that was until she realized she was alone. Haven looked to her side as she only felt the fluff of her bed and then all around her room.

It's our anniversary.

I don't remember.

Haven please.

Themarie...stop.

No, please at least let me-

Give me a rest, let it go.

Haven hated how their conversation was repeating in her head again and again this night. She closed her eyes shut and stared at the ceiling. She could still remember how Themarie's only remaining smile faded during their conversation that night. Haven didn't understand as to why It was haunting her. Maybe because it was the first for her to be a selfish person, maybe because she said. Haven had always been so selfless for herself and hearing her become selfish because of how fucked up everything was.

She felt guilty.

But it was for the best.

She had never seen Themarie look so hurt but Haven was hurt all herself to even care during that time. She had to be selfish for the peace of her self. She wanted to pity herself more than to pity others for what's going on with their life. Haven felt so sad seeing Themarie in that state. The effort and the trails but she just can't anymore.

She could only sighed and sat down on the side of the bed. This bedroom of hers in her Mom's house was never neglected. No matter if she lives in the mansion, this part of her bedroom in her Mom's house was always cleaned and loved. Haven bitterly smiled as she opened her drawer.

Inside was a wedding album of hers and Themarie's. It seemed so nostalgic but during their wedding, every one of the guest were given an album to take home. The content inside was

During their pre-wedding photo shoot and the official day of the wedding. She flipped through the pages as she brushed her fingers gently on the written note both Themarie and Haven wrote upon the album but Haven knew she won't be seeing Themarie's writing there knowing during the first months of them being together, it was quite a ride.

0ne year from now, may our love grow strong. May these sea of photos not only cherish during the first months but also become a reminder of how far we have reached, we will be together for long years to come. Miss Themarie, I know we can do this.

-Haven

Amore, so che questo potrebbe non essere il più perfetto, ma teniamocelo stretto per sempre.

-Themarie

Haven squints her eyes not noticing that Themarie wrote in one of the notes of the albums. She was pretty aware that Themarie would never write in any of the wedding album souvenirs but this one had her handwriting on it.

"Why did she have to write it in Italian." Haven grumbled as she took out her phone and slowly types each of the written letters in that note to translate what it means, She hated that she was moving on and feeling giddy of what Themarie wrote on this album.

"Ah! Here it is." Haven grinned when it was translated to English and when she saw what it was. Her heart swelled at the message.

Love, I know this may not be the most perfect but let us hold onto this forever.
