wow

I know I haven't posted in forever. I've been slacking here but hey my other blogs are doin' great. Anyway I've got a bit a writing for you to read.

Looking out my window I saw so much. I placed my hand on the glass and sighed. Too bad I'll never be free. I thought to myself. I looked out at the bird flying gracefully through the sky. They twirled around and flew strait into a cloud. Below me were children playing in the grass. A little girl looked up and waved at me cheerfully. I forced a smile on my face as I dropped my hand off the glass. I was lost in thought when I heard a sudden pounding at my door. I turned and walked over to it. I slowly opened the door not sure if I wanted to know why someone was here. Standing in the doorway was a young man 21 years of age, only a year older than myself named Ty. He was smiling at me with his normal charming smile. Anytime I was him I got butterflies in my stomach. His golden blond hair fell perfectly in place and his eyes were the so incredibly blue. "My lady." He greeted me bowing slightly. I smiled and pulled him into my room, shutting the door behind him. "I told you not to call me that." I said in a fake scold. Ty nodded "You know I have to around guards or really anyone." he said with a smile. I sighed "I know. It's just that-" Ty stepped up to me and shushed me by placing his finger on my mouth. A smile crossed the corners of my mouth then I sighed and said "Not here." Ty dropped his hand nodded. "I came to tell you your father wishes to speak with you." I sighed and nodded. We stood there silently then Ty said "I should be going." then walked out the door and left me. I stood there alone and looked out the window at the children who were still playing. Free. Free to love who they want to love. Not me. I told myself as I had so many times. I sighed then walked out the door and walked down the hall headed to the throne room. I walked past countless paintings and other decorations. There were a few guards patrolling the halls and a few doors. As I pasted them they said a simple "My lady." I just nodded in response. I stopped outside the grand doors of the throne room. I sighed before walking in. Sitting on the wooden throne was my father, king of the realm. Since no one else was there I has no reason to curtsy when I approached him. He is my father after all. He looked at me and tried to smile. I stopped a few feet away and asked "What's wrong father?" He sighed and looked away from me and out a window. "Your mother" he paused and swallowed hard before saying "She's been murdered." I gasped and looked at the ground "No no no. It can't be." I muttered. My father stood and walked over to me. "I'm sorry." he said as he put his arms around me in a gentle hug. I buried my face in his chest and started crying. I stood there for about 5 minutes just crying as the truth sunk in. From the corner I noticed Ty had slipped into the room. Don't get me wrong he's one of my father's messengers and has persimmon anywhere in the palace but he shouldn't been in the throne room at that moment. I stepped back from my father and wiped the tears from my face. "I should let you get back to work." I said then left and went strait to my room. I didn't want Ty seeing my like that but I guess it was a bit late anyway. I sat down on my bed and cried into my pillow. I did nothing but that for the next hour or so. I don't know for sure how long I was crying. When I stopped crying I just sat alone in my room until there was a knock on my door. I just stared at the floor as I as said "Enter." I heard the door open and close as someone walked in. I heard the sweet voice of my best friend Krystel say "I just heard I'm so sorry." I nodded absently and looked at her. Her chestnut hair fell down her back in a braid with a little in the front falling in her face. Her eyes were a beautiful sapphire color. She looks so much more mature than a 18 year old girl normally would and she certainly didn't act her age. She always was going on about who knows what like a child. She came over and sat on my bed next to me putting her arm around me. She tried to comfort me but nothing could really comfort me that much. After a while she sighed seeing I wouldn't be comforted just by talking so she stood up and pulled me up too. "Come on let's go see what Ty and Charles are up to." She said as she pulled me up. Charles is like her boyfriend while I've got Ty. I didn't want to go anywhere but there was no arguing with Krystel so I grabbed my scarf and wrapped it loosely around my neck. I followed her out of my room and down the halls outside into the courtyard. Normally I'd love seeing all the birds flying in the sky or hear the water in the fountains but now it all was so sad. It all reminded of my mom. Krystel must have seen the depression on my face as she grabbed my hand and pulled me along headed to Ty and Charles's house. Good thing about going to see them is they're brothers so I only had to go a little ways out of the palace.
