"Grace, Will you marry me?"

It was all up in the air. She could say yes, she could say no. It was her decision.

The words repeat in my head. "Will you marry me? Will you marry me? Will you marry me?"

Only a few seconds go by, but it feels like an eternity. I see her face turn to sadness.

"Eli, I'm sorry.. But I can't.. I don't want to be the only person you rely on.. I'm sorry.. I can't marry you..."

She walks away, leaving me alone. Leaving me heartbroken. I force myself off the ground, and walk to a portal. I walk inside inside the portal, and towards a black castle. I head inside, and towards a room.

I open the door, and find everything as it was when I last opened the door. It's been 7 years, yet my mom has kept it just the same. I walk into the door, and sit on the bed. I start to cry.

After about two hours, I walk into the bathroom. I open a cabinet, and find a razor blade. I contemplate whether or not to cut my arm, but I put the blade back.

I walk back into my room, and lay down. I drift off into a sleep riddled with nightmares.

(One month later)

I find myself on a laptop, looking at the acception letters from 5 colleges. I decide on going to Moon Kingdom University of Magic. I reply back, and soon leave the library. As school starts in a few months, I have time to pack. My life had been piecing itself back together again, slowly.

I first pack small stuff into a box, and then less important things like notebooks. I pack all of my decorations. Soon it was just my clothes I had to pack. But I would leave those until I have to move.
