Selena's POV

Have you heard about modern fairytale?

It's not like those in the movies you've been watching and books you've been reading. We were fooled since we were kids. Where the princess gets to be with her prince. When we became adolescents and liked watching movies and reading books where the bad boy falls in love with his opposite; the good girl. Even when we became adults, where there's this perfect couple on TV who's been married for years and still going strong to forever.

It's not like that. Many will relate their love lives to a modern fairytale. When you love the person so much but then he or she doesn't feel the same to you. You know what you get? A broken heart.

When you keep loving the person that cause you misery, it's not called loyalty. You think if you are with that person he or she will heal the wounds he or she created? No. That person will not. It can get worse. When that particular person knew that he or she is hurting you but keeps on doing it. It's like a Band-Aid with sharp torns. You think it's trying to heal you but it's only digging deeper into your wounds. You know what are you rich of? Stupidity. You know what are you trying to do? A genius way to kill yourself.

Lastly, when two persons loved one another so much. They fought together against the odds of their relationship, tried to fix each other, tried to heal each other's wounds, tried to be strong against everything bad in their way. But guess what? One of them-if not both- will fuck it up.

Something so beautiful getting screwed by the person you'd trust and love. And the memories you'd shared with that person will be a constant reminder of a beautiful story that you never expected to end. It's called not meant to be.

People will say, 'move on', but it's easier said than did. People will say, 'find any other else', but they don't know the pain. They don't know the pain that it brings when you think of no one will ever replace him or her. And people will say, 'he or she doesn't deserve you, you deserve better that will love you like you do', I know you will agree to it. You deserve better. You deserve to receive just as much love you're giving. He or she is not worth it. But in the back of your mind and from the bottom of your chest...you tell yourself the opposite. You know it yourself that the thing inside your chest still beats for that person whether you like it or not. But that person cannot be really the one for you. Even if he or she tried to. Which will leave you with a heart that's been murdered multiple times, a soul that's been left alone and a bitter, (realistic), perspective about the thing we called love.

I was once asked if forever is real. My sister, Gracie was just five at that time, was curious about it because she always noticed that in every book she read, it always ends with; and they live happily ever after.

I looked at her innocent face and smiled. I said, "yes. It's real. You may not live forever but the things you've done in this world before God takes you back will be forever to the people who really loves you."

I remember her face after I said that. Her forehead creased and her little brows drawn together. She was trying to understand what I've said but she was just too young to comprehend that much. She was still confused. She still looked up at me then look down like she wanted to say something but she tried not to. However, she still opened her mouth and whispered, "how about relationships? Romantic type. Is there a happily ever after there?"

I was young. I haven't had any boyfriends that time-which means I haven't met Justin or have known his existence. But I have this belief that my mother told me when I asked about her marriage with my dad; they were divorced. But my mom has a beautiful perspective of love.
