Chapter 10
There is one thing in this world that I despise more than anything and that is weakness.
My whole life I have done very well at shielding out the world. I have never made myself vulnerable to anyone and I never planned to. However, with this very odd situation happening, I feel very weak. I hate it.
I wish I had someone who cared about me. More than anything right now I wish I had someone who could hold me during situations like this and tell me everything was okay. The one person I actually am supposed to have a chance with though happens to have fallen under my sister's spell.
My body and my mind right now are exhausted. I literally feel like any energy I have has been completely drained. Typically I can just run away from my problems, I had been doing it for most of my life. However, I cannot escape this fate that has been placed before me by a goddess. So, I am trapped right now as I pack my suitcase for London to live with the spawn of Hades.
When I finish packing, my sister comes into my room. She has an angry expression on her face and she gives me an " I don't trust you" look. She sits across from me and crosses her arms, " Just so you know, Vince is mine. You were just a mistake and once Papa figures out how to fix this whole situation you created, you'll go straight back to being a big nobody."
She then gets up and she walks out of the room. Even her walk has to be like a model that just makes me even more irritated with her.
When Vince comes in, he has a guilty look. He looks like a man who has just cheated on his significant other. We didn't even kiss and we can't even like each other. He has no reason to look guilty.
"You ready to go?" He says this in a soft voice which catches me off guard because usually, his voice is loud and aggressive.I just gave him a simple nod and he grabs my bags and puts them in his car.
If my family were normal, now would be the time I would be hugging them and they would be telling me that it was okay and that things would work itself out. Lucky me though got a family that glared at me until I got inside the car. Let's just hope this situation can be fixed so that way I'll never have to see my family again.
Carla and Vince were making lovey-dovey eyes at each other and they were promising to call every day and that they would try to visit each other as often as they could. It took everything I had not to show some shred of emotion there at that moment. This could be me.
For most of the car ride with Vince, we were both very silent. There was too much on our minds to argue right now and start a fight. Deep down we both know this isn't our fault.
We are just caught up in something a stupid goddess forced on us. I feel like I should talk to him though. He's lost so much because of this. It was supposed to be his wedding day. He was supposed to marry the love of his life, and he was supposed to be the handsome prince in this fairytale and he was supposed to have a happily ever after.
" I just want to say something real quick," The words flew out of my mouth. "I know you and my sister are very much in love. I may seem or look like the type of girl who comes into someone's life just to ruin it but I can assure you, I am not that type of girl at all. I would never steal someone else's boyfriend. I may hate you and now my sister but I respect the relationship you two have."
He remains stoic and he just continues driving. " Thank you, " he suddenly says, a look of relief washes over his face as he continues driving and he looks more at peace. He's probably thinking about how excited he is to be rid of me so he can have a proper wedding without me there to ruin everything.
There were no more words spoken from the car ride to the airport and on the plane, the exhaustion of the past week got the better of us and we were asleep. Involuntarily, my head was rested on his shoulder and I was hypnotized powerful smell of Calvin Klein cologne.
When I was completely asleep, I had a very weird dream. My mother was standing right in front of me. It felt so real that I could just reach out and touch her. I missed her so much and I wish I could talk to her.
I woke up so alarmed by my dream that I jolted awake and gasped. " You ok?" I heard him ask. I just nodded. It was just a dream I kept repeating in my head and that calmed me down. Even though I knew it was just a dream, there was something deep down that told me it was something so much more than that. However, to make myself feel better I was just going to say it was a dream.
" We'll be there really soon," Vince informed me, " My driver is going to meet us there and hopefully soon this whole mistake will blow over and you and I can just pretend we never met."
" Agreed, " I nodded and tapped my foot in anticipation of the plane's landing. I lived really near before this so I could just resume my normal life until this is figured out. I was not going to let Vince or anyone else stop me from continuing my life.
When the plane landed I shot up out of my seat and grabbed my bag from the luggage holder and dashed for the line out of here. Vince followed behind me and we both got off the plane.
As we were driving to his house (or one of his houses) we were completely unaware that we were about to face a problem that was immensely bigger than the one were dealing with right now.
