Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Veward P.O.V

It had been so many days since I last saw her. She said that she'll be back in one week and here three weeks had already passed. I spent Christmas without her, I spend New Year's eve without her yet she wasn't back yet. And my heart was going down and down as days were passing so rapidly.

'Where is she? Why she's not back yet? What happened to her?'

My mind was torturing me with different scenarios and I was unable to do anything. I couldn't even contact her because I didn't know how to do that. I couldn't even tell anyone about it except Bre. And Bre was trying his very best to save my heart and mind from exploding by giving me hope that she'll be back soon.

"Here coffee!" Bre said as he placed the tray in front of me and hopped beside me opening his laptop.

We were sitting in his room and giving the last touch to our collected information about the real culprits. Because of Darren's laptop, we got so much detailed information that now no one could stop the court from punishing the real culprits.

"Darren's laptop has helped a lot. Now, once Marie would be back we can finish this chapter too." Bre said and closed the laptop.

"Hmm..." I sighed. I was feeling like fever yet I didn't have it, I was feeling so sick yet I was perfectly fine. It was actually my heart which was lovesick.

"Don't worry bro she'll be fine." Bre said, passing me the cup of coffee.

"I don't know man. I'm feeling weak and sick." I sighed again, sipping the hot and refreshing material which didn't help my state either.

"Come on dude, she is not a little girl anymore. She is a princess and a to be Queen of a magical world besides she has powers. Stop worrying and making me worry or else I'll beat the shit out of you and then when Marie will come back. She'll meet you in I.C.U." He grinned before smirking and all I could do was shook my head. He threatened me every time with the same words for the past many days.

"Yeah-yeah!" I choked the pillow at him and he chuckled blocking it.

The door knocked and opened to reveal the worried face of Aunt Emily. She was worried about her daughter because we didn't tell her anything about Marie and the crystal world and Vampire and war...

"Did I disturb you, boys?" She asked softly with a sweet smile.

"No-no! Please come." Bre said and we both passed glances at each other. Did she hear us?

"Well, I need a favor from you, Veward." She said and walked inside.

"Yes, please, Aunt. How can I help you?" I asked. So, she didn't listen to anything.

"You know I'm quite angry with Max and we are not talking with each other." She said and I nodded.

She had a fight with uncle Max because she wanted to spend Christmas and new year with Marie and uncle Max didn't allow it by the lame excuse of a security issue and told her that Marie couldn't have this family time together. So, they quarreled, and the after effect was not talking with each other.

"Marie's personal bodyguard, that boy named Walter. He must be of your agency, right? Can you manage to found me his phone number?" She asked softly. I gulped, not knowing what to say. I looked at Bre and he was in deep thoughts.

"I just want to hear my angel voice. It's been so long I've talked with her. I just want to know if she's eating well and alright." She paused and I felt the biting back of tears in her eyes.

"You know she hates that bodyguard staff so much." She pressed a sad smile but a lone tear roll down from her eyes. I moved my eyes away, preventing myself from crying too.

"I'll surely do something." I said and moved out of the room as soon as possible.

I couldn't bear it anymore. It was driving me crazy. I have to find a way to meet her. With so many lost thoughts, I walked unknowingly and stopped when I realize where I was...

A sad smile made its way on my lips looking at the closed door of Marie's room. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. Her odor was everywhere in this room and welcomed me. I switched the light on and walked towards her bed.

I sat there hopelessly and just wonder about her phone. With a thought, I opened the drawer of her side table and found her phone beneath a note. I sighed.

'Maybe the crystal world won't have any signal poles. That's why she left it here!' My inner voice convinced me.

I was about to close the drawer when the note above the phone caught my attention. Why would she leave her phone beneath a note? I hurriedly pick the note and started to read it.

Hi Veward!

Well, yes it's me. I thought before I leave for the crystal world. I should say goodbye to you. I know sooner or later you'll come to my room in search of me and maybe you found that note then.

I don't know what should I say? Or what I want to say? Why I'm even writing? Ok to the point, because I don't have enough time. You know I'm leaving today and I don't know I will be able to come back or not.

Honestly, I know nothing. I don't know if I can beat Annabella or not. I don't know if... If... If I see you again or not. Maybe we never met again because I don't know if I can find her weakness or beat her. Royal guardians and the people of guardian town believe me and I won't disappoint them. If I have to sacrifice my life for the sake of their lives, I'll do it.

So, before I leave. I want to say something to you... I'm not a professional in writing love letters nor I have time to do so... In simple yet magical words, I want to say that I Love You! I would love to spend my whole life with you if my life gives me permission. Because...

If I won't come back. Don't wait for me. If I won't come back. Don't search for me. If I won't come back...please move on and forget me.

With love,

Marie

The letter slipped from my hand and fell on the floor wide open. I looked at it in disbelief. It felt like my whole world had collapsed. Someone had snatched the floor behind my foot and a big mountain had fallen over me. My breath was stopped and I forgot everything in the world.

What she meant by 'Forgot her'? Was it that much easy to forget? Was she out of her mind?

I caged my head in both hands and closed my eyes. My head was just seconds away from bursting into pieces. I inhaled and a tear fell on the floor and I closed my eyes to let them fall.

'You know we are going to marry one day.'

'You know you're an idiot!'

'Stop being jealous king of Europe.'

'Let's not talk about this.'

Her voices from different scenes approach my mind and created the worst kind of disturbance in my nerves. I felt everything around me was spinning.

"Veward..." I heard her soft voice calling me. Look, I was going crazy. My senses were torturing me with her voices. Someone placed a hand on my shoulder and I froze at my spot.

"Veward, are you crying?" She again whispered and I snapped my head in the direction of the voice. My mouth hung open and eyes came out of sockets.

Without blinking, I jumped at her and enveloped her in a tight hug. I hugged her tightly as if my breath depends on it. Resting my head on her shoulder, I literally cried my heart out. She winced and said,

"Hey stop crying like a baby. I'm still alive."

I pulled apart and looked at her. She softly smiled and I saw tears in her eyes too. She was looking weak than before and her skin was also pale. Like a sick person, then my eyes moved on the bandage of her arm and the swelling of her face. My heart ached.

"Are you alright?" I touched her head and she again winced.

"Ahh! Don't touch, it's hurt a little." She cringed and sat on the bed.

"Ah! Sorry! Do you need to see the doctor? When did you come back? Have you applied something to your wounds? What makes you so long to come? Do you know how worried I am?" I rained question at her and she just closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest. She smiled.

I sat beside her and there was a comforting silence in the room. Which she decided to broke by saying, "I thought we won't see each other again. I miss you, very much. And I'm sorry for always making you worried about me."

I held her hand which was slightly trembling, she was weak and in need of medical care and nutritious food. I would make sure of it to gave her proper treatment.

"Don't say sorry to me. Save it for Uncle Max." I chuckled, thinking about their reaction when they'll see Marie.

"Why? What happened to daddy?" She sat up straight and asked with full attention. God! How much I wanted to hug her and kiss her right now.

"Well, Miss Marietta. Christmas has long gone and tomorrow is the first Sunday of the new year. You're late and that made a little fight between your parents. Aunt Emily was really worried for you but neither of us told her anything about you except for the cover story of New York. So she is going to be really mad at you." I told her the long story in short.

She hopped out of the bed in an instant before saying, "Why don't you tell me before?"

She ran towards the door and I ran behind her all the way saying, "Be careful!"

Why this girl always ride a roller coaster?
