YOURS

It was pouring outside, time has passed in slow motions for Emilia, she haven't eat, sleep or do anything really like before. It has passed months now, Emilia looks bad, with dark spots under her eyes, she lose some weigh. She haven't had a bath in days, her mother bring all sort of doctors but they cant heal a broken heart. She has disconnected from the entire world. She was hoping for a letter or a visit from them long time ago. But it seem they forgot about her entirely, as she knew it will end. They used her as they pleased and later leave her. How can she be so stupid, she fell for their game completely, like a stupid idiot little girl. She hated herself so much, she couldn't even look at herself in the mirror, she don't use her glasses no more, she likes the pain from the headaches, they even make her throw up. But today she made up her mind, the pain is over, no more thinking of them, she is going to end it, she goes down the window so her mother wont stop her, walks in her pajama down the street passes town and stopped at  the bridge that divided the town. the rain was breaking the sky, thunders filling the silence, water splashing everywhere, she walks till the border of the bridge and looks down to the raging river. Now she will be with her sister, killing her self just like her, for the same boy to.

"ma'am" a male voice from her back calls

She ignores and kept looking down. "miss? maybe, who cares right, but what are you doing here in the middle of a storm" the man got closer and stan next to her

"can you leave please" the first words she has spoken in weeks

"not until you tell me why you are in your night gown in the middle of nowhere"

"I want to die" she says and break in tears

He then picks something in his pockets and shot at her making her limp, she falls in his arms, he carries her to his carriage. "home martin" he orders the driver. He took her to his place, away from home, until she wakes up. the hole day passed, she wakes up feeling relive, she's in a warm bed, with clean clothes, she doesn't smell like something dead in  her clothes, she looks around and she's not at her room. 

"hello!" she says at loud

Then the man from the bridge enters, he had a brown coat and pants, he was dressed funny, like a detective. "well hello, finally you are awake, My name is steven Robrick and you are?" 

"Emilia, how did I get here?"

"well I find you in a bridge not so far from here, I was on my way home when I did, bring you here got you cleaned and all"

She looks down at her and worried. "oh don't worry I didn't do it of course, my maid did, now tell me where you live, I bet your family will be worried by now"

Emilia told him, that very same day he took her to her house, her mother thank him a lot, she was so worried and call the cops already. 

"leebrock huhg? You know that's a coincidence, I'm actually here to solve unfinished investigations and a leebrock is on my files"

"that's actually our daughter Susan, they say she killed herself but we don't believe that" her mother said sad

"really, that's interesting" he look at Emilia, she avoided his glare and looked down.

"can I be excused" she says to her mother

"Emilia at least say thank you to mister Robrick" her mother says undignified

"thanks for bringing me home, now can I leave"

"sure thanks to you, I will be back to check on miss Emilia"

"thanks that's so considerate of you"

"that wont be necessary" Emilia says mad

"Emilia!" her mother exclamated at her

"is ok mam, no worries, see you later then" he says and leaves

Emilia started going up the stairs.

"I don't know what happened between the boys and you, but I'm sure the world doesn't have the fault, so I will tell you to stop treating everyone in despise, your anger has to come to an end, I think is about time, there's a ball tonight and you should come, you can use your glasses, I don't care, I just want my daughter back, can I have her?"

Those words don't know why, but I think I needed them, I felt like as heavy weight was lift by my chest, I smile at her. "I will be there"

I go up and got a visit from the tailor, they prepared a beautiful purple dress. I put my glasses on and look myself in the mirror, Is still a little hard, but I think is time to go out. I went outside and meet with my parents down stairs.

"you look beautiful Emilia" her father said to her

"thanks"

"I have missed you" her mother hugged her

They went to the ball at the queens mansion. It was filled with people, food and glamorous decorations, Emilia was filled with emotions, For the first time she can see the party from inside, not spying from the outside, she cant believe she's been missing all of this, her hearth was beating fast, I think this is way to much for her first day out. She walks fast in between the people, everyone was glaring at her and rumoring each other, she went outside and started breathing fast and deep, she was having problems controlling her emotions, like always. she felled on her knees. She felt a hand on her back.

"is ok, calm down, look at me" he moves her face to his direction. "follow me, breath in, breath out" it was Steven Robrick.

I was still having trouble, he grabbed my hand and put it on his chest. "concentrate on my beats, 1,2,3"

I started to calm down. "there you go, now can you stand up?"

I nodded and he help me up. "thanks again"

"it seems you carry with a lot"

"yes, You don't even know, now if you excuse me, I'm heading back, before my parents get worried"

I went back inside and went fast towards my mother. "I think I'm heading back home, its been to much for me"

"is ok, I understand, thanks for trying" 

I was waiting for my carriage when again Steven appears next tome smoking a cigar. "leaving already?"

"yes"

"hmm"

"what about you, it seems you are following me or something"

"oh no, I'm sorry, I just heading back home too, you see I'm a detective, I barely come to these things, and if I do is to merely investigate"

"sure"

"you don't believe me?"

"it doesn't matter if I do" the carriage arrived, she got on and didn't even said goodbye.

She arrived home and fast changed and went to sleep. That day she finally dreamed its been long since she had one, that guy steven was in it, and her sister, it was a weird mixed up dream. She woke up in the middle of the night, she felt watched, she went to her window and close it, went back to bed.
