Sorry if it seems a bit drastic but hey at least a few more chapters then it's complete.

And wattpad is being mean to me cause I can't update my story's without me un published them three times urgh...

Aphmau POV

It's been a month after the London week and that call when I received the last day there.

I haven't been focusing with study's because of it my grades drop a little. Teachers try to tell me what's wrong by I won't do that.

Dad called me when I was packing my things when he told me he can't postpone my engagement as he told me he have to pick one in about month or else the fathers from the boys side take over the company. Especially Garte. Garroth, Zane and Vlayd's father. He seem pretty eager to have the company all to himself.

And I can't let that happen even if I have to sacrifice my new adult years bind into marriage.

Feeling scared and anxious yes. Everyday.

But I have to choose wisely to pick the one I'm spending my live with.
I can't just pick someone randomly.
Need to think it through and good.

So here I am swing on the swings in the dawn of morning at a deserted park where no one can heard my screams when I'm being drag into some psycho's van.

Yep perfect place to think my complicated love life. And it hasn't began yet. Too consume inside my mind I didn't hear that someone sat down next to swing.

"What are you doing here Aph?" Max asked as he swing.

"You first?".

"Well I'm a bit of an insomnia person so I usually come here to walk around" he replied and raise an eyebrow. "So what are you doing here so early?"

"Thinking about life" I say.

He chuckle. "Your life is complicated too I assumed?"

I nodded. "Yeah, if I knew the thing that are happening to me right now, I probably search the fountain of youth".

"Oh really" He raise an eyebrow. "Do tell I won't cut you off".

So I did. I told Max about the whole engagement thing and how I'm feeling with the whole thing. My fears and thought as he listened it letting me cry my heart out.

Every since we meet Max and I keep chatting even the time when I'm in London he some how manage to Skype me in the middle of the night there. He's a great listener, gave me some good advices. He's a great guy all and all any girl who have him is lucky.

But for some reason the thought of another girl with him and not me my heart hurt and my stomach tied.

Max and I talk about it earlier since I'm in an arrange marriage that we can't be together even if we want to be together and have the relationship that we both want. The hurt look on his face just kills me but he put a smile and said if your happy then I'm happy that's all that matter.

Yeah I'm gonna stop talking to my mind about that before it goes any further. I feel a hand on my shoulder pulling me closer to his.

"Hey everything's going to be fine you'll see" he said softly.

I just nodded as we both swing back and forth until the sun comes up and joggers started to come.

"I should probably go" I pull away from his warmth. "You know school day and all". Before I lost control of myself to kiss you senselessly.

He nodded and wave goodbye as I head home. Washing my face and freshen up I feed Celestia and went to school. Didn't bother to eat like this couple of day my appetite seems to dissapear somewhere.

At school it seems like everyone was busy with the whole prom night that was going to happen in least then a week from now.

The girls are practically busy with their extracurriculars either prom shopping. While I'm just to pre occupied with my thoughts. After talking to Max At least a weight on my shoulder lessens.

****

The end of school came I head straight home seeing the front door open and the lights off.

"Hello?"

No one answered so I close the door and turn the lights on.

"We've been waiting for you" dad stated.

I jump in suprise while screaming and threw the closes thing next to which was a pillow which hit Malachi in the face.

"The heck, dad? you scared me and why are you home so early?" I cross my arms glaring at him.

"And I'm the one that got hit" Malachi threw the pillow at me.

"Oh shut up" he stuck his tongue out.

"Aphmau I'm back cause I can't wait any longer I need to know your answer?" Dad said.

I step back losing my confidence I had a while ago. I already knew this would happen. I stand my shoulder up.

"What if I don't want to choose the boys?" I asked

"The the company will crumble to the ground".

"What if I like and want to marry someone else than them?".

Dad and Malachi eyes widen but look at each other to have a silent conversation that I could never decipher.

Dad shake his head. "I'm sorry but you can't marry or have a relationship with him.

I sighed put my head in defeat. This is so unfair. I want to scream and shout all about this and be angry that I didn't want any of this and have a normal life but for some reason I can't.

"Fine I choose Jeffrey".

Dad patted my shoulder. "Alright then we'll have the wedding tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?!"

"Yes tomorrow. We pick the dress and everything all you have to do is invite some of your friends if you want and walk down the isle". Malachi said.

For the rest of the night I lock myself in my room cuddling with Celestia crying silently for the love I can't have.

I don't know what to do anymore
