Even Later, ???, Still the Polo Match (in hiding)

Why does this happen to me? Everything seems to be going great, and then this happens! Is her number one goal in life to ruin my life? Her meaning Grandmere of course. I need to scream. I need to bang my head into a wall.  I need to throw something. I need to throw up. I need to cry.

Wait a minute, I AM crying. Do you want to know why?

Well, I needed to ask Grandmere a question (can't remember what), so I started towards her seat. She was sitting next to the Prime Minister, and I accidentally overheard Grandmere say something. Now, Grandmere says a lot of things (she says too much actually), but this was different. "Honestly, I'm happy I already betrothed Mia to Didier. He seems to like her. And I don't want her with that boy Michael. I want her to marry a royal."

I froze. The I screamed, drawing lots of attention to myself. "I HAVE A WHAT?! A BETROTHED?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!" Then I ran and hid behind a seat, but I was found, so I thought about running into the bathroom, but that was too predictable.

So here I am, sitting on a bench by the lake, and realizing what this means.

How will I tell Michael? What will he think? What will he do How Will he react? Will he break up with me?

Holy shit, I have to marry Didier. I have to leave the love of my life and marry a pretty-boy who my Grandmere admires.

Wow, did I just curse in my journal?

That's a first.

Damn her. Damn this.

Here comes Michael...wait a minute...how did he find me?

[Michael's journal/web-blog]

July 3, 5:00 PM, Polo Match

Did I mention how useful this laptop is? Look, here I am, in the middle of a polo game, no outlets, and I'm writing in here.

Thank you technology! How could I survive without you?

Mia just went off somewhere, said she had to ask her Grandmere something.

Didier, that little show-off, is, well, I just said it, showing off. Did I mention I despise Didier? Then let me say it again: I despise Didier.

Was that Mia screaming? Oh crap, it was. What the hell is up?

Later, Royal Genovian bedchamber

You want to know what happened, don't you?

Michael (smiling, sitting down next to me): Hey...

Me (staring at my overly large feet, avoiding his eyes): Hi...

No one talked. He just looked at me. I knew he was wondering what was wrong, but he didn't ask. He just put his arm around me and squeezed my shoulders. And then I started to cry, and he just continued to hold me as I cried, my head buried in his shirt. After a while I looked up at him, tears still flowing down my face. He wiped my tears off my cheek. He broke the silence...

Michael: What's wrong?

I had to tell him. God, I can't even keep a secret from him for fifteen minutes!

Me: I can't see you anymore.

Michael: What? Am I invisible?

Me: You know what I mean?!

His smile disappeared as he realized I wasn't kidding.

Michael: W-w-why not?

Me (staring at my feet, avoiding his eyes): I'm betrothed to Didier.

Michael: WHAT?! You're what?!

Me (still staring at my feet): I have to marry him...

There was silence. I looked up at him, staring at me with disbelief. Then I burst into tears again, and he slowly put his arm around me as I rested my head on his shoulder. He was still silent.

He then led me up to my room and kissed me good night. He told me not to worry, but he didn't seem to believe his own words. Then Lilly came in. I have no idea how she found out I was up here, but she found me.

Lilly: Can I come in?

I just nodded. She came in and sat on my bed. She was being really really nice. It caught me off guard.

Lilly: What is up with you?

Me: Nothing...

Lilly: I know something is up, so you might as well tell me...

Me: You really want to know?

Lilly: Of course!

Me: I'm betrothed to Didier.

Her mouth fell open in disbelief.

Lilly: You're what?

Me: I have to marry him, Lil.

Lilly: Isn't that illegal or something?

Me: Not in Genovia...

My voice stayed level, and I kept my mind centered on the floor.

Lilly (mouth still wide open): What abut Michael?

I looked up at her and felt a tear fall down my cheek. I was crying again. What about Michael? She saw I was crying and remained quiet. She didn't know how to react. She left.

What is going to happen to me and Michael?

[Michael]

Later, My "room"

I somehow knew Didier would become my worst enemy.

And he has.

He is going to marry the love of my life. That's what she is. The love of my life.

There will never be another like her.

My life officially sucks.

What am I going to do?

What do you do when the girl you love is forced to marry someone else?

And there is nothing you can do about it.

All I know right now is I can't let it happen.

I love her too much.

I can't let her life be ruined.

Or mine.

I should warn you
Things you're feeling, aren't normal now.
Think you need me
its not easy, let you go some how.

Now we're too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
me the burdens bitter taste

You promise that you'd stay
you say you want to go
your lips provide a shelter for the
things that I don't know

Please speak slowly
my heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.

Wishful thinking
Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
North is calling
Now I'm falling, at your feet please stay
