The Four Princes

Chapter 3: Flying to Places

     I stayed in my room for at least a two week and a half, everyone tried to get me out of my room but I wouldn't budge. I feel empty inside, it feels like a i'm in an ocean on a ship and i'm sinking like i'm trying to keep all the emotions and thoughts out but they end up drowning me and I sink to the bottom of the ocean. 

     All I can think about is how my dad said that he didn't want me, how he thought my mom should have got rid of me without even knowing me yet. How he cheated on his wife, my mother just cause they weren't happy. He could have talked to her asked for a divorce before seeing someone else. Or what he was doing all the times he wasn't home; which was like never. 

     Braelynn ended up telling my parents about the scholarship to Stallion Academy since i'm obviously not talking to nobody. I tried to talk to them but every time I went to say something all that came out was silence and salty tears from my eyes. I can't wait for this summer to be over and to go back to school, no matter where it is. That is what i'm thinking right now; I can't cry anymore all the tears have left my eyes and i'm tired of people, of life, of everything. 

     I don't plan on doing anything to myself or anything like that I just need to get out of here. I got a call from Stallion Academy, the headmaster told me to come in on Friday. Right now it's Tuesday so yeah, I have lost the color in my face from eating so little so I have to start eating more. My eyes are so red you would have thought that I poured bleach or something in my eyes. My lips are so red and fuller than usual from biting at them so much, and my hair is a mess from running my small hands through it a lot.  

     So I have decided to get up and drag myself to the bathroom and turn the shower on. I couldn't bring my mind or body to look at myself in the mirror cause I already know what I look like. I didn't need a mirror to show me how I look, I look sad, depressed, terrible I could go on but I rather not.

     Taking my cloths off, I step in the warm shower that I haven't step foot in for a while. Now i'm wondering how I survived taking a sigh of relief as the water runs down my back side. After washing my body and hair and body and shaving I just stood there thinking about the school that I would be at soon, and about my home kingdom, and what will happen to my family. 

    The Kingdom Posedien is my home, I have lived here for sixteen years, so no matter how mad I am at my parents it will be hard to leave here. Some of the people here are so nice and kind and always there for you to talk to. It might be a small village but that doesn't mean there still isn't the drama creator's or the annoying people that I won't miss. I will miss the teachers they are so kind, the students I won't though some are cool the rest just annoying to me so I just ignore them.  I will miss my family no matter how mad I am at them, they're still my parents, what kind of child would I be if I didn't miss them at least a little.

     After finishing those thoughts I turned the shower off and got out and grabbed a towel for my body. I brushed through my hair and decided to let it air dry so it would make natural curls. Then I brushed my teeth and washed my face, and put deodorant on along with lotion. I then walked to my dresser in my room to get my undergarments, which are a matching set colored yellow, I then walked over to my closet next to pick what to wear. I picked black jeans with ripped holes in the knees and a little thighs, and for a top I picked a yellow spaghetti strapped shirt with a denim jacket, along with black and yellow converse. 

     Just as I finished someone knocked on my door, thinking to myself that my mom and dad were both already at work I thought. "Honey are okay? Do you want me to bring you food?" My mom asked from the other side of the door. I thought she would be at work already, guess she took the day off for me and that makes me feel bad, cause I can tell she feels guilty. 

     Opening the door I come face to face with my mom, she looked like she hadn't slept in days and has been crying non-stop. Her beautiful long brown hair looks like it hadn't been brushed or washed fro days. Her light brown eyes were exhausted and were red, and she had dark circles under her eyes on her tan skin. Figures she's the on who would stay home from work and wait for me to get out of my depressed state. 

     A small smile tickled my lips and tears dared to start falling again, and the only thing my body could do was run up to her and give her the biggest hug I could give. Against her I was short she was 5'8 so I was small still. She stumbled back a little by the weight of me and being surprised by my gesture of affection, but after the surprise wore off she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. 

     In my house we may "love" per se, and care for each other but we didn't show that much of affection. My parents were always gone, and I never saw them. So we didn't talk that much but I will always love them no matter what happens they are still my family and that's what matters. 

     "I am so so sorry that you had to hear all that sweetheart!" My mom said crying into the top of my head. "It's okay it's not your fault. I will love you no matter what mom." I said to her. She pulled back and looked me in the eyes "You promise?" She asked hope in her eyes hope that I will never leave her, or that I will forever lover her unlike my father. "Of course I will, after all you are my mother." I replied to her a small smile spreading across her face and my smile widening with a gentle look on my face. "Now where is that food?" I asked rubbing my stomach, we both chuckled and headed down stairs.

     It's been three days since I made up with my mother, and my father is no where to be found, we counldn't find him and no one has seen him for five days. I'm worried but I calm myself and remember that today is when I get to go see Stallion Academy and then start there next week, specifically Tuesday. It would be on Monday but they gave me an extra day to get ready. 

     I woke up from a dreamless sleep by my alarm clock and got ready to take a shower. I have to be quick cause we have to leave for a boat to take us to the island with the castle on it so we can reach the airport. I hop in the shower while it's still warming up and let me say that was a cold awakening. After washing up and shaving I jumped out and dried off. I put my long dark brown locks in a high ponytail and even in that it reached a little down passed to top of my back. I washed my face and teeth. Then I put lotion on and sped to my dresser to get my underclothing, today I am wearing dark purple matching underwear set. Then I head over to my closet and grab my purple and white skirt that went to just above my knees, and to match I put on a spaghetti string shirt and a white zip up sweatshirt. For my feet I wore purple and white socks that reached just below the knee, and for shoes I put on purple and white Jordan's. To complete my look I put on so eyeliner and pink lip gloss to make my lips look shiner and to make my eyes pop. 

     I walked out to see my mom heading my way looking wearing a black pant suite looking tired, since we had to wake up at five in the morning to get there on time. "Great your awake, ready and looking beautiful darling." My mom complemented making me smile. "Thank you and you look like you could sleep on the floor." I said and she made a face that said Not this early so I shut it and started walking. "Okay lets go I have everything packed and ready all we have to do is get there." She said stepping down the stairs. 

     We got some water and headed out the house my mom locking the door behind us. I said goodbye to Brae yesterday 'cause I know she won't wake up this early to say goodbye. We walked to the small harbor we have here, since we live just a block away from it. 

     My mom walked in front of me by a foot, but I was okay with that it gave me time to think about where I will be in just a few days. The school that I've always wanted to go to, the school that everyone wants to go to and I have the opportunity to go there. It's now setting in completely that I will be going there, and away from the life I know, my life will be changed forever and there is no turning back after I get on that plane. I might be only sixteen but I am ready for this new part of my life and what will happen in it. 

     Getting on the boat I was so excited and happy, I couldn't wait to see the place in person. My mom took a seat on the boat and looked like she was about to sleep for a lifetime. This isn't the first time I have been on a boat, in fact we have to go on one quite often to get certain cloths, food, or house items. So I'm used to this so it's like clock work, the only thing different is that we have to wake up this early. It's nice though getting up and so early that you get to see the sunrise.

     Getting to the main part of Posedien a short ride there since the part we live in is actually close. They are making a bridge so we can drive over there for the people that have cars, instead of taking a boat there. Which is cool 'cause taking a boat there cost money; not a ton of money but not exactly just a little either. 

    We got to the dock and my mother payed the bill (the guy that brought us here) thirty-five dollars, like I said cost money just to go a short distance. We could walk to the airport since it was close to the docks, by the time we got there it was six-fifteen o'clock.  

     I decided to get us some food from the gift shop, there wasn't a lot since it's a gift shop but it will do. Right when I got back they called the plan we are going on. We are going to San Francisco in California, I have never been there but I read about it and it sounds fun there. 

     The school is located there, from here to there it will be a fourteen hour plane ride, long enough for me to get some well needed rest. Tomorrow we go see the school, so that means today we get to rest since we will be getting there pretty late. I like to think I plan things out well, but this time I feel like I have nothing planed. I've never been here so I don't know what will happen, or anyone here so I don't exactly know what to plan for. But I know I got this or at least that is what I hope. 

     On the plane me and my mom sat together, Stallion Academy paid for the plane tickets; we got them in the mail yesterday. Once I sat down I was out like a light so I can't really remember the ride to California, not so bad for my first time on a plane. My mom woke me up when we got here and after that it was kinda a blur, I remember getting in a car someone sent for us, getting to the hotel we are staying in, and eating room service then I slept. When we got there though it was getting dark out, the sun was setting so we just ate and went to bed. Guess it's not that much of a blur, but I am super anxious for tomorrow.
