Ch 7: Planning Perfection

Why did I yell at her? Because she told a set of total strangers, who I know she's going to fall for, about the one secret she had never even revealed to me. I had often been curious as to what trait she would receive, but I had never confronted her about it, figuring she'd tell me in her own time and manner. If I had learned one thing, it was that Elizabeta did things her own way, never liking to be ordered around and told what to do. So for the most part I let her do her own thing, keeping my orders to a minimum. But now I realize I should've been more disciplined with her, given her better guidelines and clearer boundaries. I was just trying to protect her as always but damn these boys! They're dragging her into doing things she never would've done on her own.

I look up at the portrait  of her parents on their wedding day. I miss them so much, I wish they could've seen their daughter grow up into a wonderful and bright young woman. They could've protected her from these new house guests. I think over the queen's instructions once again before I sigh, realizing I just don't want Elizabeta to grow up. in just 24 days, she can go wherever she wishes.

I'm just hoping I can keep her from doing anything stupid until then...

You're on the phone with your girlfriend,

She's upset.

She's goin' off about somethin' that you said.

She doesn't get your humor like I do.

I'm in my room,

Its a typical Tuesday night.

I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like.

She'll never know your story like I do.

She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts.

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,

Screamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find

What you're lookin' for has been here the whole time.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you,

Been here all along so why cant you see-e-e,

You belong with me-e-e,

You belong with me.

Zayn mocks the unfamiliar song and I chuckle, his voice in the range of soprano. I've begged and begged Vladimir to get me some CD's but every time I ask, he tells me no. So I had Vraji get me a disc of random songs from multiple artists. We've been going back and forth singing random songs all day. I launch into a song that's on the disc, one of my favourites, and his jaw drops to the floor in shock.

Its not me,

Its not you,

Theres a reason.

Im just trying to read the signals I'm recievin'.

Its like stone on fire,

Can you feel it?

I don't know about you girl but I believe it.

Word will be just words,

Till you bring them,

To Li-ife.

I'll lift you up,

I'll never stop.

You know I'll take you to another world.

I'll build you up,

I'll never stop,
