"I did go out last night"

"So I was right" Alexander told himself.

"But I do have a good reason why brother" I wave my hands up in defence, to stop him from jumping to certain conclusions.

"Please go on" He frowned.

"T-that the reason why I sneaked out last night was because..... I thought I saw a flash of light in the woods out there!" I lied, pointing out the window to the view of the woods.

Alexander looked out the window and turned directly to me. "A flash of light?". Not looking entirely convinced by my answer.

"Yes there was a little bright light out there" I pointed again, nervously.

"Alright"

"Alright?" I replied, confused.

"I'm just....disappointed" he continued on.

"Disappointed brother?"

"Yes, disappointed, it seems that you do not trust me at all" he explained.

"Pardon? I do not understand" 

"Do you honestly think that I would believe such a thing? Real of light in the woods?" Alexander said in a sad tone.

"Alex I....." I tried to swallow the tears that was starting to pour out of my eyes.

"I'm disappointed.... very disappointed.... That you can no longer trust me"

"I- I can but I also cannot at the same time"

"Really? I thought I was the closest person you had........ You've changed Rose" he snapped.

"Changed?" I scoffed.

"Yes...changed. All this getaways, sneaking out, roaming in the woods alone and all these lies. I am s-sorry but I cannot do it anymore" he sighed.

"What?"

"Yes, what i am trying to say is that i am done"

And with those words he exit out of my chambers, leaving me with a high feeling of guilt.

I know I should have told him the exact truth but the thing is I could not. If he found out that I had passed the barrier to hell or how I spend the night partying with our enemies, they will never forgive me. Mother would never consider me as her daughter anymore, Phillip would not even speak to me at all, Alexander would never look at me again and there was my father, the one person who hardly has been there for me as a kid.  I do not really know what he would do but in my opinion it seems like he doesn't even care about me at all, so what was the point of punishing me now? Thinking about my father now makes me realise why had he pushed me away ever since I turned 6. It's confusing really.

Sometimes I always think that I don't belong here at all. When I was over to the other side of the world with Ryder, he made me feel alive. That world made me feel who I am. It might seem highly crazy right? Just the thought of Ryder made me wonder what he is doing right now, if he is still angry at me. I wanted to talk to him, since that argument we had.
