That night I could barely sleep. A mix of excitement and fear took over me. I felt it in my heart that this was the right thing to do, but I couldn't help but feel as if I'd be leaving so much behind. Looking over at Olympia sleeping though, I got all the reassuring I needed. She was my princess.

In the morning we grabbed our already packed things and prepared to leave. I knew I had to do the thing I was dreading the most, saying goodbye to my parents. It was tough but I could do it.
I called my mom and dad to meet in the kitchen and sat them down.
"Look, the last time I had a talk like this with you guys it didn't go well. But now so much has changed so that's why I need to tell you, I'm leaving to live with Olympia. We are engaged. There's nothing you can say or do that'll change that. I wrote you a letter, it explains everything, read it when you're ready. Goodbye."
There I had said it. Now there was nothing holding me back.
My dad got up and left without another word and my mom remained where she was, in silence. I could only hear her tears hitting the floor as she cried. As I was leaving the room I heard her say "Goodbye my angel." Even though it broke my heart, it also set me free. I could now be unapologetically myself.
We left soon after, in one of Olympia's royal carriages. Looking into her eyes i leaned and kissed her. "I love you. You saved me and for that I'll always love you."
