        My mother once said when you lose the ones that you hold the most dearly, you will feel as if your whole world is crashing down. Like the apocalypse. But what she didn't tell me was that it felt as if your heart was ripping from each side, tearing into two. I did not know when or how I got back to earth because all I could feel was the breaking of my heart, the soreness of my eyes, and the dirt underneath my palms.

I was back at my apartment, but everything is burnt. It looked like I was in an abandoned house but I did not care of all the hard work that I worked for was now burnt down. All I cared about the moment was Legolas and Skylar. Skylar. How was I gonna live life without her? How can I start dating again when Legolas was the only person who filled every inch of my heart.

This is what Deyanira had wanted. She wants me to suffer emotionally. She wants me to feel what she felt when Celeborn ran away with Galadriel. but this was worse. Legolas did not ran away with someone else, because someone tore me away from him and my best friend. Tears filled my eyes and I couldn't stop sobbing. I heard people start entering the room with flashlights and shouting but I couldn't see or hear them properly. I felt like I was only in a dream.

Because my reality was another world away.

        I woke up again but this time I was in the hospital. "Val!!" I heard Cindy's annoying voice rang through the air. "My Val!" then I saw my mother stand next to my bed. But I didn't greet them because my heart was too sad to even acknowledge their presence. "Skylar.... Legolas." I sobbed out as I started sobbing hard this time. I heard my mother call for the doctor once more, they came in and inject me with something, I did not care if they inject me with poison, Heck! I rather let them do that because at this moment I am desperate to make the pain go away.

I calmed down, and once I did a police man entered my room to ask some questions. "Excuse me Ms. Greene?" he kindly tried getting my attention, I looked at him as if every being of me was sucked out of my own body. "I would like to ask you some questions." he said, it wasn't a question. I had no choice in this. "You have been gone for four months Ms. Greene, do you remember what happen during those four months?" my voice wasn't ready to answer but I nodded. How could I not remember?

"Was it kidnapping Ms. Greene?" he asked, "You.. could say that." I replied, my voice sounded like a frog. "Is your friend still--" he didn't get to finish because I started crying once more, "She's gone! And she's never coming back!! It's all my fault! I should have protected her, if she wasn't shot she would've been ok! but-- but-- then Deyanira made a deal and made her alright. Now I can never see her again." I rambled on. "Who is this Deyanira?" the police man asked "My boyfriend's wife." I replied, good thing my mom and Cindy wasn't in the room to hear this.

For some reason, the police man thought that Skylar was dead and that Legolas and Deyanira fled the country. They let me stay in the hospital for three weeks along with psychological therapy. But after that I rented another apartment which was way smaller than my last. My mother was there to take care of me until I was strong enough to live on my own. And I thought to myself that Life was unfair, because my life just continued as if Legolas never existed and Skylar was only my imaginary friend.

I went back to school and of course every soul in the school felt sorry for me, Zac even apologized for everything. But this time Zac didn't matter at all. Nothing did.

Since everyone felt sorry for me, my teacher and the judges decided to let me keep my role as the lead Ballet dancer. Stacey of course will forever loathe me, since everyone's attention was on me which I hated because it wasn't because of my dancing.

Days...

Weeks....

Months.....

Have passed and there was never a day I would never forget the two people who would always eat breakfast with me in the morning. Days drag on, hours felt like years and a month felt like a lifetime. It was getting hard to sleep but when I do my dreams were filled with Legolas and Skylar trying to reach out to me and I would wake up screaming because Legolas' world was in danger, the only person trying to keep it alive was Gandalf. As what my dreams have showed me.

I was a walking robot.

Practicing everyday for the final Ballet show. "I've made your favorite!!" my mother chirp as she set down a plate of waffles and scrambled eggs. I stared at it like it was an exam paper at school. "Oooh! Cheer up honey! Today is the day." she said as she gave me a side hug. Was I too caught up in my own little bubble that I didn't notice that today was the BIG day of my Ballet career?

For once I had to be happy. If Legolas or Skylar wasn't here to keep me happy, only Ballet will. I happily arrived at the theatre and started getting ready in my beautiful white tutu looking like a beautiful swan. 10 hours.. 5 hours.. 1 hour... It was finally here. People started filling up the seats, background dancers started running at the back stage. Nervous. My teacher came up to me and greeted me good luck, "Break a leg Ms.Greene, show everyone what you got." she said and I nodded at her. "If you mess up or if you leave that stage because of fear or whatever, I swear to God that you will never be a ballerina in the future." she threatened me but all I could do was nod at her.

But as the music started, 2 people were on my mind.

Skylar.

Legolas.

"Ms.Greene, you're on."

This is only a dream, my reality is another world away.
