Here's one other version of the epilogue that kinda came up. I left it out of the epilogue because I noticed I wasn't talking about what I wanted to talk about. Didn't go the way I wanted it to go so I started over. So it's like a pre-epilogue?!? Or like a deleted scene from a DVD lol. Pre-epilogue...wait...is that even possible?

But I own this lame story right? . . Feels special
Thanks: to all my loyal reviewers! I can't believe I actually finished it! Not bad for a first story...right?
Pre-Epilogue?!?
It was very simple. There was love and there was jealousy. Love could overcome any obstacle, while jealousy had the power to destroy. The two sides are complete opposites. They are as different as the rich and the penniless. The line between them is as clear as diamonds. Or at least, it's suppose to be...
The story of our love with the fairy tale right? By all means it should have been. I was supposed to be the big hero, to always do the right thing. I was supposed to protect her, to never let anything come between us. The line is suppose to be clear, but it isn't...
The Duke nearly went mad when he found out about Satine and me. Jealousy took form when he abducted her, that one not so very special night. It was the ultimate payback. He probably knew that with each passing hour was pure hell for me. And that each day my heart would tear just slightly until one painful day, it would be so broken that even Satine herself wouldn't be able to notice it.
The color in my eyes were losing their luster and I became more and more desperate and vurlnables the days turned into weeks. I thought I was losing my mind as I stared anxiously out of my window each night. I'd see Satine walking, then vanish.
Then came that day when she returned. I was living a dream. She had no explanation for it, neither did I said it didn't matter... I lied.
The Duke returned without warning and we found ourselves running again. Was that all we ever did? Everything was moving so fast I couldn't think. And I guess I was right, I couldn't. That was when jealousy took a second form. All I knew was getting revenge.
I wanted to make that man pay for it all. For all my endless nights of waking up crying for my beloved's name. For all the anger I felt because he took her in the place. For everything he had that I didn't.
I knew something was wrong with all of this. It didn't make any sense, but I said it didn't matter. I lied. And because of that, I almost lost my life, and the woman I loved.
And that was the closest I've ever gone to crossing that line. I know that it was all in the past. And the reasons we did what we did all meant well, but I can't help but wonder, or why it keeps coming back to me. I thought it was all supposed to be simple... but it isn't.
There is love and there is jealousy. One is pure and is a many splendid thing. While the other is a complete 180 and can drive you to an early grave. Both are powerful and cause you to harm or heal, depending on how you look at things. The line between them is almost impossible to find. Does one good deed make me a hero? Am I to blame for that one mistake?
It is simple. There is love and there is jealousy. The border between the two is closer then we see. Just like me, all he wanted was to be loved. And as the Duke, I was enraged in jealousy, that I almost took another life. And that is something I can never forgive myself for doing.
In the end though, I know that the answers don't come easy. And that the border between the two are so close, that you'll never be able to know what line you've crossed; until it's too late. It was all supposed to be simple. The line is supposed to be clear... but it isn't.
That had been almost one year ago...
Okay I have to stop here or I'd be telling the whole epilogue all over again! I'm not sure why I posted this... maybe because it was going to be the actual epilogue until I found a better one...who knows. I think it deserved a shot lol. See I wasn't hitting the right points I wanted to hit so yeah...never write when you have other things on you mind --" what did you think?
