Alex.
"Get some rest dear. It's bad luck for the bride and groom to be together the night before the wedding. If you need anything your father and I will be right down the hall." Mum chirped.
"Don't remind me..."I grumbled as she shut my door.
Tomorrow I was going to get married.
Under the shade of the large fir tree's Tom and I would become husband and wife.
Dad and Tom's best man Darcy were going to set up the chairs and arch tomorrow while I had my hair and makeup done.
Loose curls my mother had decided.
It didn't even feel like my wedding.
If it was mine I'd have my natural hair.
My grandmothers dress.
I'd have Olivia...
I couldn't take it anymore.
I flung the dress on the ground and chucked on an oversized Tee before collapsing onto the bed in sobs.
This wasn't the life I wanted for myself.
I wanted a life with Olivia.
A life where I could wake up to her and just the same fall asleep with her.
Knowing that she was always there.
Now it was like she'd abandoned me.
I hadn't seen or spoken to her since that day her bike vanished behind the tree's.
As tears wet my pillow a dim light flashed across my bedroom window.
As I looked up and wiped my tears the sound of a low rumbling engine filled my ears.
Who'd be coming this late?
I stood and brushed some falling hair from my face as I cautiously walked over to the window.
As I slid the drapes over with my slender fingers I could make out the shadow of a car.
I watched a shadow slide from it and gaze up at me.
Could they see me?
They were looking right at me.
The gaze scared me but at the same time felt familiar like it could see right through me to my very core.
Then from the misty porch light a person appeared.
Olivia.
I opened my window eagerly and stared down at the approaching figure.
No matter how mad I was at her I couldn't erase he small smile that played on my lips.
"You came." Was all I could say.
"Of course I came. I love you." She said as she stopped below my window.
"I love you too. To be honest though I was beginning to think you'd abandoned me..." I said in a crackling whisper.
"I'm sorry Alex. I didn't think it would take this long. Cory...she...she had a baby. I'm the godmother. I had to be there." She sighed.
"I understand."
Maybe not yet but I would.
She wouldn't leave me I should have known that.
"Alex."
I snapped out of my thoughts to see her standing there waiting.
"Would the princess like to runaway with me?" She smirked.
My brow furrowed as I felt atop my head.
I realised the sapphire crown was atop my head before I smiled down at her.
"I'll pack my bags."
I hurriedly shoved everything precious to me in my duffel along with the tiara atop my head and my locket.
I left the dress on my bed.
It was beautiful but it was something that bound me here.
Like iron cast and chain I threw it away before I clambered out my window.
I slipped on the last pole of the rotting vine holder and would have fallen to the ground had Olivia not caught me.
My cheeks flushed a shade of red that only she could make me as we kissed.
"I'm taking you away from here." She whispered as she placed me on the ground.
I picked up my duffel and threw it into the back of her car.
When did she get a car?
I shook my head.
I didn't care.
I was getting away.
We both slid into the car and Olivia put the keys into ignition.
As we drove quietly out of this hell I was too excited to look back and see the eyes watching us leave.
