we can be alone

I'll be the princess

Think I'll miss you forever like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky- lana del rey

I slowly opened my eyes, the warm sunlight peeking through the trees above me. I was lying on the cool grass, surrounded by vibrant flowers that seemed to dance in the gentle breeze. The sky was dark today.

The sweet melody of "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey was playing in a low volume on my phone besides me.

Depression in her mind,
Poison in her blood,
Anxiety in her heart and
She's screaming to be loved- that's her song by Georgiou's music.

A familiar voice spoke from behind me. "So you're here," my brother said, settling down beside me on the grass. I smiled, feeling the comforting familiarity of his presence. We often sat like this, on the ground, watching the world go by.

I leaned and kept my head on his lap, letting the tranquility of the moment wash over me.

"How long was I out?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "About two hours," he replied, his eyes scanning my face with concern. I nodded, trying to piece together the fragments of my memories.

"You always get into problems and tension because of me, and it's not just you, but our entire family and friends... I'm like a curse in everyone's life." I mumbled, my fingers absently tracing the veins on a leaf.

My brother's warm hand gently caressed my hair, his touch soothing. "No one thinks you're a curse, Princess," he said softly. "You're our sunshine, our reason to smile." I looked up at him, my eyes searching for reassurance.

"But what about all the problems I bring? The worry, the stress...?" My brother's expression turned gentle as my eyes started getting glittery. "We'd face a thousand problems if it meant having you by our side." He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"You're not a burden, Aarti. You're our loved one. Promise me you won't ever say things like that again." I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat. His words were comforting, but the doubts still remained, whispering in the shadows of my mind.

"I want to tell you something about." He says after a few seconds. "Hmm."

"You're coming with me to California," he declared, which made my eyes open in shock. I felt a jolt of confusion and immediately sat up straight, my eyes knitting together in confusion. "California? But why?",
