Catherine knew that Zara had a deep understanding of what it was like to go through traumatic events like the one that she had endured. All her friends had. They all knew what it was like to live through trauma, especially for someone as strong as her. They'd experienced more than Catherine could imagine, although most of those experiences had happened while she was still in high school. She knew firsthand how painful it was to experience such pain when your whole world had been ripped apart.It was late afternoon before Catherine decided that she should probably get going. She had offered to give her a ride back home to ensure that she got back safely, but she knew that her parents would kill her if she ever left. Catherine would rather face her parents in anger and disappointment than face them in fear. Besides, she was sure that they would worry about her. They would definitely want to check up on her and make sure that she was okay. She was well aware of the fact that if she w
Suddenly Catherine appeared in front of her. Catherine smiled softly as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. "There there. Don't cry Catherine. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done this to you. Please forgive me." Catherine muttered quietly. She was clearly upset. She looked extremely distraught. She leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently. Zara pulled away and stared straight into Catherine's eyes."Please stop crying. I won't be able to handle it if you start to cry as well." Catherine said quietly. She turned around and left quickly without saying a word.Catherine hated seeing Zara upset. She had never cried and it killed her everytime she heard her crying. But she couldn't do anything about it because she wasn't allowed to comfort her, to reassure her. No matter what she said to her, she wouldn't listen. She was her mother. She was her mother that she would obey as soon as she entered the room. Catherine was her mother that would always protect her and be there for her a
Catherine had made all of these decisions that made her so unhappy. Zara had taken away her purpose and her joy. She had broken her promise to her. She had betrayed her. She had lied to her. She had left her. Catherine had left her. Catherine had left her. Catherine was going to die and leave her. She was going to abandon her. She would never love her. She wouldn't give her a second chance. She was going to die without Zara.But Catherine didn't love her. She never cared about her. She had lied to her. She was a horrible liar. She had used her. She had used her. She had abandoned her. She had left her. She didn't even try to save her, to make sure that she didn't fall into the abyss. She didn't even bother to rescue her. She was selfish. She was greedy. She didn't care about anyone except herself. She left her. She left her behind. Catherine had left her. Zara abandoned her. She didn't love her. She didn't want her. She wasn't worthy of love. She was better than her. Catherine
"Thank you!" Catherine exclaimed gratefully, grinning excitedly at Julian."Of course." Catherine replied. "What do you want to do today?"Catherine shrugged."Do you know any places to go?" Catherine asked."Maybe we could go shopping?" Catherine suggested."Or go visit a museum." Catherine added excitedly. "There was a really cool exhibit recently! I'd love to go check it out.""Okay." Catherine said, smiling. "We can do whatever you want. What are we going to do?""Well..." Catherine started before pausing. "Why don't we go to the park?" Catherine suggested, turning to look at Catherine, trying to gauge her reaction."The park?" Catherine repeated confused. "Why do we have to go to the park?""Because I said so." Julian stated matter-of-factly."Oh, okay." Catherine giggled, laughing a little as well."So...the park then?" excitedly."Sure." They drove through the streets of Green avenue city, talking about anything and everything that came to their minds. Catherine looked f
Prince Julian was never give up about his love to Serena he kept looking for her, even thought she already be with King Sergio right now. He wanted to tell Serena how much he loves her but he knows this would only make them both get sad, it didn't matter how much he love her and that's all the more reason why Julian needs to stay away from her. He has a duty as the crown prince, he can't just throw all of his efforts and dedication in the past to pursue someone who could easily change their mind. He's not going to let it happen."I'm so tired..." said Serena in defeat. She laid down on the soft grass of the field and closed her eyes.Julian watched her with concern, Serena is always full of energy and always ready to go anywhere she wants. Yet she's been tired lately. The last thing she did before going to bed was writing down notes on her notebook then she went out again to write some more notes on it, then she came back into the tent and immediately collapsed onto her bed. The yo
"Why didn't you say anything before?" Serena finally managed to ask."Would you have believed me if I said it?""Well, yes." said Serena with a frown. "Of course I would."Prince Julian chuckled lightly and patted the top of her hand that was holding his. "That's good to hear, because I have no idea how to make you believe in this."Serena blinked twice in confusion. "Make me believe what?""In our souls, of course."She stared at Prince Julian for what seems like hours without saying anything. She didn't know whether she should believe him or not, but Serena knew she's going to end up believing him eventually. Because there's no way she could possibly ignore this beautiful man in front of her."Can I kiss you?" asked Prince Julian suddenly."Pardon?" asked Serena with furrowed brows. This whole situation felt unreal to Serena. Prince Julian just confessed to her that he's her soulmate and she's pretty sure she heard him wrong. How could he ask her that without having any doubt in his
Her chest began to tighten when she saw his empty side of the bed. His side of the bed that used to be filled with warmth, a warm body, a comforting presence that she missed dearly. The memories of everything started flashing back to her. Every little detail about their time together came back to her mind. And she felt tears forming in her eyes. They fell from her eyes freely like raindrops hitting a window glass. But the sadness wasn't for herself, it was for him. It was the first time she experienced what it feels like to feel sad for someone else than herself.Her heart broke into pieces when she remembered that she lost her virginity to him. That memory was very vivid in her mind. If it weren't for his confession, Serena wouldn't have remembered it.She wiped away the tears from her face with the sleeve of her nightgown. Then, she grabbed the blanket that lied beside her and covered her body with it as she wrapped it around her like a cocoon."Why did this happen to us?" she whi
The door opened slowly and revealed a young woman standing in the doorway. A young girl with dark hair and eyes who looked like she couldn't be older than Eighteen years old. She was wearing a white dress with long sleeves and a short skirt. There were flowers embroidered on the hem of her dress and small lace straps that crossed her shoulders and connected together to create an elegant halter neckline."Good morning, Miss Victoria." The young girl bowed politely."Hello." Serena replied and smiled gently. "What can I do for you?""A gentleman, a Prince Julian wishes to see you, miss." The young lady informed Serena."Alright, send him in." answered Serena."Thank you." The young lady said bowing slightly. "I shall tell him, Miss Victoria."After the young lady had left, Serena turned towards Julian. "Who was that? You should know who she is since she is one of your employees."Julian sighed and ran his fingers through his damp hair. He was nervous to meet her and to talk to her si
