I will not give up on this story as I promised myself not to be one of those writers who abandon their stories and leave cliffhangers to the readers. I was just lazy and I was lacking motivation to write. I have not edit it therefore there will be lots of mistakes. But please look past it and enjoy! Have a great day,everyone!

For the thousandth time, what have I done? There is a giant void in me that somehow just keeps on growing when I see her go. I just don't know what to do,I thought that was the best decision but when I see her dive back into the sea, my heart seems to clench and thousands of needles seems to poke through it.

I walk back slowly to the palace, walking always soothes me down.

But not this time,not anymore. Lauren, she's everywhere. She's at the balcony staring at the sea like every morning; she's at the dining room looking at the candles; she's even in every hallway that I walk through now painfully. When I walk into my room, that used to be hers, Lauren,she's no longer there. I'm still in shock,how could someone get into me so fast, and filled me up with so much happiness and adoration that it feels so right to have her right next to me; but when she is gone,she took a piece of me that I never knew existed along with her, leaving me a void of emptyness.

Somehow, unconsciously, I desperately need something,anything, to fill that void. I sit on the bed that smells like Lauren, I brush my fingers against her pillow, and couldn't resist taking it to press against my chest, needing to feel close to anything of hers. Tears fill my eyes and I let them drop freely down my cheeks. Sobs wreck through my whole body and I can only let them out. Sadness overwhelm me now that I finally realize that I let the only one that truly loves me, go. I was in denial all along as I was being a coward, afraid of this foreign feeling that Lauren brought out in me, only now I realize that I actually am in love with this beautiful amazing woman, it was too late.

Anger and rage consume me at the moment, knowing that I let the best thing that happened to me go. I scream and I throw the pillow across the room and start pulling the sheets and flipping tables. I throw the perfumes and jewelry boxes to the walls and the sound of glasses breaking feels like the sound of my heart breaking. I scream and scream till the energy in me is all spent,my legs give up and my whole body is dragged down to the floor. Angry cries wreck through me again and I cry and cry until there was no tears left and I passed out on the floor with the thought of Lauren in my mind.

Bo.

With the thought of her in my head,I am more determined to find her. I finally reach the palace door when I was blocked by a guard.

'Whoah lady, you can't just enter the queen's home like that.' The guard hoarse voice makes me frown and it took me a while to realize he was the man on the ship who talked to Bo. I shake my head and insist on going in. He doesn't know me but it doesn't matter,I need to see Bo. I try to ignore him and go pass him.

'Hey hey hey,I told you you can't go in there. Who are you? '

I shake my head again, looking at him desperately, hoping he will just let me in.

'Lady, do you need help? I will send some help for you,I guess you need a dress and a place? What else do you need?'

I need Bo.

I just look at him and shake my head.

'Okay,you wait right here. I'll ask the queen if she knows about you. Just wait here, understand?'

I nod, still frustrated.

When he left, I quickly slip in behind him to get inside. The man turns around to make sure I'm still there and found me running the opposite way instead.

'Hey,stop right there! I told you you can't come in!' He starts to chase after me and I run faster, towards the queen's room. I was too slow and he grabs both of my arms as I struggle.

' Lady,do not do that again. I can arrest you!'

'Dyson, what are you doing? Holding a woman like that?!' I lift my head to find Janessa there, just about to get into the queen's room.

' Janessa, I don't know, this lady just barged in the palace and...'

' That's Lauren, you idiot! Let her down right now!' Janessa says in a scolding manner.

Dyson looses his hold on me and let me down.

'You know her? I'm sorry I didnt know...'

I quickly get up and run towards Janessa.

'Lauren! Where have you been? The queen was quite upset after your walk at sunset just now. And where is your dress,such disgrace to run around naked,Lauren, what happened to you?' Janessa says in an almost motherly tone.

I shake my head and try to get in the room.

'Wait, you want to see the queen like that? Let me get you all clean up first, you are a mess!' Janessa gently hold me back by my elbow but I nudge it away and open the door.

Oh my God. Bo! I silently scream and tune out the gasps and shouts of the others and I rush to Bo's side.

Oh God,no,no,no. Bo's room is a total mess, everything is crashed and destroyed. I quickly pull her into my arms and check for any injury.

'My queen! Oh my what happened? She needs a feed now! ' I faintly hear Janessa squeks.

'I will do it!' I hear Dyson says as he steps forward.

NO! I hold Bo more tightly in my arms, suddenly feeling possessive. I hold Bo's face gently and caress her cheeks as my tears fell silently.

Bo,please wake up. Bo, it's me, . I whisper but of course no sound comes out.

'Lady,step aside. The queen needs to heal right now. '

'Lauren,please. '

I only hold on tighter and starts to shake her shoulders.

Baby,please... I whisper again as I press my wet cheeks to hers. I then gently place a kiss at the corner of her lips.

'Hey lady! ' Dyson yells, angry that I've been ignoring him.

Finally there is a stir and I held my breath.

Bo's eyes flutter open and are blinking to focus.

Bo. There you are. I mouth as I look into those soulful brown eyes.

Those brown eyes seem to be fixed on mine as confusion then recognition sinks in.

'Lauren...?' Bo whisper weakly and I can only smile softly at her.

'No,I must be dreaming. I saw you go. You left...I let you go. Lauren...' my heart breaks at the look of devastation on Bo's face. I gently squeeze her in my arms as she breaks down and cries.

'Shhhh...' I whisper in her ear as I too cry silently.

After a forever of crying our eyes out, I didn't even realize that Dyson and Janessa have left. I don't care anyway.

Shaky hands caress my cheeks as I look into puffy,red eyes.

'You're really here...'

I place my hands over hers and lean into her touch as I smile softly at her.

'Why? I let you go,I shouldn't have,I'm such an idiot. Lauren, I'm sorry for feeding behind your back, I just...' I shake my head gently and put my finger over her lips, none of her apologize matter now. I'm just so tired, all I want is her and her alone. As I look into her eyes and I see past the regret, I can see that adoration and love that warm my heart. My eyes drop to her lips and back to her eyes. She's doing the same.

My father did not free me when he signed that contract with Ursula, Ursula has tricked him. The curse is still there,but it will be broken if I get a true love kiss from the queen by the sunrise on the fifth day which is only a few hours away. But when Bo inches closer to me, I did not think about that. I just think that I've been waiting for this since I laid my eyes on her,curse or not.

I feel Bo's soft lips brush against mine and I shudder lightly. She caresses my cheeks and look into my eyes,as if asking for permission. I grab her wrists and pull her to me, first touch there's a spark but I didn't stop kissing her softly,gently, lovingly, tentively. Her lips are so soft and full and it just feels so right and good.

We kiss slowly until the need to breathe pull us apart. My lips still tingle and I can still taste her.

'Wow...you take my breath away, Lauren.' Bo whisper, her breath caresses my lips.

I look into her eyes.

'Breathless...'

'Completely...'
