Author's note: I actually don't really know what I will be writing in this chapter. Let's hope I'll get ideas while writing. :)

Thank you all for all your reviews! Seeing those I get honestly happy. I get really excited over them. Seeing someone actually liking the things I write… It's like a dream coming true. :) Thank you for giving me this precious feeling.

I probably shouldn't be doing this, but since Sheyria is my closest friend, I don't see any problem. I am another FF writer, Sieg Leonhart, and if you're waiting for a response from Sheyria, you might consider waiting some more, she'll be out for 2 or 3 weeks, and she couldn't and can't contact you guys because her access to internet is 'limitated'.

She asked me to upload this chapter for her. I hope you all won't mind my invasion. Don't worry, I didn't change anything from the story.

Dear diary

Today was such a bizarre day. Nothing happened as expected. I'm still so puzzled about everything. I got myself in big trouble and have no idea how to decipher it. *sigh* Maybe if I write the entirety here I can find a solution.

It started all this morning. I decided to meet Gray, it was the only way to figure out why he kissed me. Well, I had an idea already but my head was filled with question marks so I had to talk to him.

But in reality, I just wanted to see him desperately. I tend to lie to myself to put my mind at ease. In the end I convinced myself to meet him. But the first obstacle appeared.

My dad. I was about to depart when he stopped me.

"Where are you going?" He asked examining me.
"Oh, hey dad. I was just gonna get some air. I got bored." I answered anxiously presenting a little fake smile.
"You can't go, Prince Sawarr called me earlier telling me he's taking you out today." He said without demonstrating any emotion. My smile faded in an instant.
"Couldn't you ask me first if I wanted to go?" I said irritated.
"Too late for that now. You're going." He growled back.

I could have started an argument but I knew that it wouldn't solve anything. My dad would only get more furious and things could turn out worse if that would have happened. I went back to my room with a long face. My mind was filled with questions. I was completely bewildered. Before I could even get the time to think I heard the bell ring. I felt something admittedly horrible when that happened. The feeling can't really be described but it was as if all the happiness was sucked out of me.

"Lucy, can you please come? Prince Sawarr is here to get you." I heard from afar. Like I expected. He acts like he is the kindest father of the whole universe when someone's around, but whenever we're alone, he treats me contrasting. I dawdled down the stairs and saw the prince with an idiotic smile on his face. I sighed strolling forward aiming the door.

"Let's go." I said coldly and walked out of the door. Prince Sawarr followed.
"Have a nice time together!" I heard my dad saying enthusiast.
"Yeah, I will have the best time of my life" I muttered to myself sarcastically.

The following hours passed by lifelessly. He was the one to talk non-stop and I was the one to 'listen'. We went somewhere to eat and after that he took me to a movie. It was the most horrible movie I've ever seen, but that's not the big deal here. After the movies he took me to a park where we could sit and 'talk'. I didn't protest at all, because it didn't matter where I went with him, it would have been painful anywhere. He really is more of a boring person than I imagined.

But at that moment, that wasn't the thing that was keeping my mind occupied. Gray was. Would he be waiting for me? Or did he already leave madly noticing I wouldn't come? I bet he doesn't ever want to see me again and he's probably regretting kissing me by now. Those were the questions and thoughts that filled my mind.

"Lucy? Are you okay?" Prince Sawarr said with a worried expression. "I noticed you look a little bit troubled."
"No no, I'm okay, don't worry. I'm just a little bit tired." I said faking a smile.
"you're incredible cute when you smile." He said with a high tone.

Uch, can this get any worse? Was the the question that ran through my mind back there. I just wished that this day could be over as soon as possible. Thinking things couldn't get any more fallacious, something horrible happened. It was the last thing I thought could happen.

I saw Gray.

Yes! He was standing a few meters away from us. I couldn't think straight anymore. I couldn't feel my heart beating. Everything stopped. There were no movements in front of me. I became numb. I guess that's what it feels like to be in shock.

After a few seconds, questions started to race through my mind. What is he doing here? How did he find me? What will he think of me? Will he come over here? Oh no! What will I tell Prince Sawarr if Gray tells him we kissed? How will he react? I'm death! These were the questions that made me crazy.

"You're not looking so well." Prince Sawarr commented while I saw Gray coming closer to us.
"No, I'm not, euh, could you please get me something to drink?" I begged him and fiercely hoped he would do it.
"Oh, yes of cource my beautiful princess." He said while getting up and slowly disappearing. How cheesy could this guy get? I was disgusted. But my bigger problem was coming my way at that very moment so I couldn't think anymore about how awfully irritated I get because of this prince.

"G-Gray…" I said very silently. "I… I don't know what to tell you."
"Why don't you start by telling me who that guy is?" Gray said with a disapproving look on his face.
"Euhm, he's… he's…." I couldn't talk anymore. I was in that big of a shock.
"Now?" He impatiently said. That's when it hit me. Prince Sawarr could return any minute now and things would get really nasty if he sees me with Gray.
"Take me to somewhere quiet first! It's important, please let's be fast." I begged the one I love.
"What? But why?" He said getting on my nerves.
"Don't ask questions, just do it, please! I will tell you everything there." Gray finally took my arm and dragged me.

"Where are we going?" I asked regretting it afterwards.
"Didn't you tell me to bring you to a quiet place? Just follow, now it's your turn not to as questions." The black-haired answered without showing any emotion.

I did as I was told. After a few minutes we arrived to a place that looked very peaceful to me. The place was surrounded by trees of all sorts, but the prettiest were the cherry blossom trees by far. The grass in the clearing were cut short, except for along the edges where it is was a little taller. The sunlight shined through the top of the trees, lightening certain parts of the area. I heard nothing but birds chirping. But the most important thing was, there wasn't anyone there but Gray and I. I loved it there.

"How did you find this place? It's breathtakingly amazing." I said still amazed by the quiet place I was in. "That's not important right now. You need to tell me what's happening." Gray simply said. I was surprised by how cold he was talking to me. I don't think I've ever experienced Gray in such state.

"You're right, I'll tell you everything." I sighed after taking a little pause. Then I started telling him everything that was going on. About Prince Sawarr and how I needed to marry him. About how horrible I felt but that I just had no choice. I had to do this for my father. That I just couldn't see a way out. I explained him that I felt like I was in a labyrinth. There just is no way out of this. I also told him about my feelings for him. On our way to this place I decided that I should tell him everything. Every little detail. And that's what I did. But it was pretty hard for me to explain everything so I gave him my diary. He could understand everything if he read it. But I was a little bit embarrassed though thinking back about all the things I wrote him.

After he turned the last written page of my diary he surprised me with a hug. He leaned into me, and pulled me close to him. The world around me melted away as I squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end. I felt really safe in his strong arms and when he let me go after a few moments, I knew for sure now that the only one I wanted to be with, was with him.

"I can't let you go through with this. I can't let you marry someone you don't love. Heck, you don't even like this guy." The black-haired angrily said. I just looked to the grass beneath my feet. I didn't want him to see the tears rolling down my cheek. He slowly put his hand on my chin to upwards it. He saw my tears.

"I can't let you leave any tear like this anymore." He whispered while wiping off my tears. This made me tear even more. But I felt so peaceful around him. I didn't want to leave his side. I lay down on the grass to look at the sky. I wanted to empty my mind because it was making me crazy. Gray followed me by laying beside me. I didn't feel like talking but that was okay.

We were laying there for almost half an hour without saying a word. But knowing that we were together was enough for the both of us. I slid closer to him feeling his warmth. but then I heard a voice. A voice that was very familiar. "I bet she's close" I heard. "My father! It's my father!" I screamed frightened. Gray got up immediately and looked around. "I think I heard her" the voice from afar echoed. I was scared to death! If my father would see me with Gray…

Oh, I can't write any further right now. I'm being called. I'll write what happened tomorrow. If I could escape that place or not. If my father found out about Gray and not and where I'm staying right now. I'll write it all down tomorrow.

Author's note: This chapter is finally finished. I actually have no idea how it turned out. I know it isn't very long but that's okay I guess, at least you won't get too bored if you didn't like it, right? Haha, Anyways, I hope to see some reviews. :) I get more will to write because of these. :) See you guys in my next chapter! (hopefully) :)
