I stood helpless in the hallway, clenching onto the last momentum of my love. Forcing my weeping to remain silent, I push myself closer to the voices inside the room ,"Our answer is yes King Edward!"

I find myself losing control over my body as I collide with the ground. My fists immediately open up dropping the ring, I cup my face in despair as a hand grasps my shoulder, "Not here Scarlett, they'll hear you. Come let me help you up"

My blurring vision and trembling legs made the journey up the stairs unbearable. My body played captive to my sadness. If it weren't for the supporting hand around my waist I would have collapsed.

My younger sister Sarah leads my to the balcony, wasting no time I begin tearing, "He didn't come back! Everything was a lie!" My body radiates nothing but pain and deception.

"He didn't come back? Or you didn't find him?" Sarah's voice seeming stern, I look up a little disappointed at her comment, "He didn't show Sarah! We both know that I made it clear I'd wait nothing more than three years for him! If he didn't show I'd follow dad's orders! Three years are up today! And has he shown?? He's deceived me!" I breathe in deeply at the thought of losing him.

"Three years are not up as yet, it isn't midnight. And he's a deceiver? You both shared love, so that means the responsibilities are just his? You claim to love him so dearly yet all you've done these past three years was sit and mope! Love is fearless! You've waited all this time and what if he had no way to you? What if something happened along the way?! Have you not given a thought about it! If you truly loved him you'd go and find him! Not sit around in a poofed up sofa waiting for him to magically turn up on the King's doorstep unharmed!"

I watch Sarah in disbelief, could she be right? Have I spent these three years blinded? She had a point, we both loved, then why did he only have to take a stand? I look up desperately at my younger version, she grins as if she already knew what went on in my mind, "It's ten, still two hours for three years, now according to my calculations, I'd say you have approximately a few, get your ass moving minutes on hand!"

I broad smile appears on my face as I pull her into a hug, "But where will I find him Sarah? It's been so long. I have no cl---" she quickly stops my words with hers, "You'll find him the same way you found him then, destiny. Now go!!"

I push myself away from the railing, and head towards the stairs. Oh crap, I don't think running away from a palace is that easy!! What am I going to do???

Sarah rushes behind me, "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements already. Did you really think I would have allowed you to marry Prince retard?? Take this and go!"

I quickly grab the hood and bag she held out and continued making my way down the stairs. Each room that I passed seemed empty. Not a guard in sight! Guess she really did plan this..

I move much faster as I leave the last door of the palace, the gate too opened up. No looking back, no regrets, this time, my heart decided. I increase my pace and finally exit the palace.

My heartbeat exhilarating as the palace gates close behind me. I did it..I actually did it?! Overwhelmed with joy I jump up punching the air, "YES!..now what?" Well I guess that's bad planning.

I throw on the hood Sarah had given, where do I begin? Where would he be? A load roar erupting from the sky quickly attracts my attention. Err before that, finding a place to stay would be great...

I scan my surroundings, I had no where to go. Imprisoned in the palace had its disadvantages, aah well, here goes nothing I guess.

I begin walking, searching for shelter, a few minutes later dark clouds hovered above me, gentle droplets began falling..something so simple as rain seemed so magical to me.

I stretch my hand out and drop the hood, enjoying the cold droplets on my skin, so calm and peaceful. Being confined in the palace made me treasure all the little things I guess. Oblivious to the fact that the droplets were now increasing within the second, I close my eyes and as usual, he rushed through my mind.

His smile, his voice, his presence alone instilled a sense of security within me, a feeling that I missed so dearly. Whenever he was around the world was in order, I felt at peace, blissful content peace, as if all my troubles and worries vanished.

I open my eyes and realise I've been drenched, nodding my head I quickly dart down an alley hoping to find some sort of coverage. Just my luck, a bench. Rolling my eyes I move towards the bench and take a seat, "It'll have to do for tonight I guess"

I open the bag Sarah had given me, desperate to find a snack, "Snack bars? Really mini me?! Agh Cane, you better be worth all of this!" I shout disgruntled.

Now laying down I watch the pelting rain, his voice echoed through my mind, "Just remember Scarlett, if anything has to happen and we somehow get seperated, I will always love you. I promise you"

I grip the bag tightly as my eyes close, releasing a tear...
