Once Upon A Nightmare ♥JG (on hold)

Chapter 10

His gaze hardened and his eyes seemed to hallow out.

I was honestly afraid, his mouth curved into a angry scowl and he took my wrist roughly.

"What? You were listening to our conversation?"

I shook my head rapidly, my eyes widening.

"No, I - I just overheard. You were in my- my room" I panicked, he shook his head.

"You don't need to know anything about what I say or what I do. It's none of your business" he seethed.

"I-I" I couldn't muster up anything to say.

Just a second ago he was so calm and collected. He answered my questions and replied honestly, know I feel as if I'm wrong.

I stood tall and held my head down, "I'm sorry, your highness"

He looked at me, his hard expression never changing.

"This conversation is over, go" he demanded, I nodded meekly and walked away.

Fear in my heart.

It's sad that my family left me here, with him.

That they let me go so willingly, with no fight, no going away party or anything.

It's nothing to celebrate actually, it's not like marriage.

A moment of eternal happiness, a moment that bonds someone to their significant other for as long as they live.

We have no background, hell not even a future.

I wanted to try, to possibly get a shot at happiness but I can't.

I need honesty and he's the polar opposite.

I have no one to speak to, no one to confide in.

Just myself, just me.

I'm sure everyone I miss doesn't miss me.

Yes, I was happy to get away from my mother but what does it matter if I'm alone?

I passed by a servant and asked to be led to Drakes room.

"Um, Drake?" I asked, shyly.

"Yes?" He replied, sending me a warm smile.

"Do you think I can bring one of my maids here?" I asked, afraid of the answer I anticipated.

"I don't think that would be a problem" he answered.

I smiled happily, looking up at him.

"I can put in a request, she should be here by tuesday"

Today is Monday.

"Thank you" I reached out to hug him but as soon as I touched him he winced away.

I looked at him confused and somewhat hurt.

He just gave me a smile and bowed slightly before leaving.

Living in this castle isn't for me.

Sometimes I want more.

For what reward do I receive to live among riches and have the most expensive things but no love, nor happiness?

I want more.

I want love, I want passion, I want the emotions my mother never let me feel, I want the childhood that was so roughly taken away from me.

I want confirmation. I want stability.

I want to know will I ever have something real, something forever

I don't want a fling or a every now-and-then type of thing.

Is love too much to ask for?

Maybe it is, love is something I've never witnessed nor could I even say felt.

Being raised in a white collar family, my hands never had to work a day in my life.

The only 'work' I did was prep myself to be shipped off to some rich inconsiderate prick.

I've seen the less fortunate families before, occasionally.

But everytime I did, I felt envious.

Envious of the relationship their family had with one another.

Envious that they showed eachother love.

As tears reached my eyes, it seemed almost simultaneously; it started to rain.

I looked out at the rain, chuckling humorouslessly.

I sophia always told me,

Everytime it rains, it rains cause you are sad. When the rain clears up, you stop, when you look outside and notice the rainbow it brightens your heart

I miss her, I want the life I never had.

I'm sorry it's a short update school had been hell and I'm starting to update everything regularly. This will be the only update this short I promise
