He Came....

Chapter 18

Her eyes sparkling in love with the gold band around my finger. She reminded me of little sister before I got trapped. I smile but start to tear up. Korola looks up suddenly worried. "Hey...what's wrong" she say grabbing my shoulder. I sniff and clear my throat. " I miss my life Korola...everything about it. I'm 18... I was engaged to a wealthy man and had a beautiful mom and sister." I say standing up. She stays quiet, messing with the fabric on my bed. I wrap my arms gently around myself. "This...this feels wrong in so many ways. I'm married..but engaged, how do you do that?" I say. She stands and walks over to me. "Well, do you love one of them?" She says walking to the door way. Do I? I thought to myself. "How do I know what to feel?" I say sitting back down. I look over to korola, she is quiet and seems off. "Look I'd love to help but I can't help if you don't know what you want. I have to go. Bye" before I get a word in she leaves. What was wrong with her? She couldn't even look me in the eyes.
I lay down staring at the ceiling, thinking about my life. A sound comes from the hallway and I spring up, grabbing my sword. "Who ever you are, come out already." Keian slides into the door, looking as if he was going to cry. I put my sword down. I go over to him, reaching for his hand, but he pulled away. "Engaged huh?" He says looking dead in my eyes. I don't think he understands completely...

I stay quiet, trying to think of what to say. " I knew this was a bad idea." He says sitting on the bed and covering his face. I walk closer to him quietly. He throws is hands up, stopping me. "Keian...I.." I start to speak but he interrupts. "No! Dont say my name with the same mouth you used to say those awful words..."
Ouch, that one hurt... I brush off the words in my head. I sit on the ground close to him, I start to tear up as I speak. " I'm sorry..." I say in a whimper, holding tears back. "My mother is a highly successful woman, who believed in arranged marriage. I'd play the beta test to get away from my abusive fiance. Once this game started, I finally felt free to love..but..it took my mother and sister away from me..." Tears fall down my cheeks as I remember my sister's image. Her long silly blonde hair waves in the wind, as her perfect smile beams. My memory fades.
Keian stays quiet and I don't look up. "I never loved him keian...but, I wanna try to love you.."I say. I tear falls on my arm and I look up to keian hold back as much as he can, not to cry. I turn around sitting on my knees. "Can we try to love each other?" I say.
He shakes his head yes, letting out a whimper. He hugs me tight, crying out. "I love you!" He says loudly. I start to cry. I finally found my love....
