Lydia POV

" wow Lawrence , your third day here again " I said smiling

Ever since the day of the thousand cranes he has came over everyday. Not that I mind of course, if I can one person off my back I will take it. Maybe I should befriend the capture targets but running away is always an option.

Lawrence visits Catherine a lot after they meet but not once have they actually met. He always comes and meets me. Now that I think about it Lawrence was supposed to meet Catherine 18. The story I think it's changing.

Hopefully in a good way, we having tea and father told Catherine to have tea with us as well. They both are talking but I never was interested in there conversations. I watch as Lawrence was laughing and smiling with her. He should be with her now. He's gonna forget about me now.

Maybe I should avoid Catherine as much as possible. I never once hated Catherine nor did I adore her. I haven't met Christopher so I shouldn't bully him. The prince is gonna leave me anyway for Catherine. It's gonna happen.

I take a sit of tea. We go to my coming of age party 18 , the prince finally declares his end engagement with Lydia. Then apologize to Lydia for not telling her. Then all the capture targets gather next to all of them. Then the prince tells her she gets her a death punishment for all the bad deeds she did.

That's when I drop the tea cup. The drink all over my dress and the tea hits the ground. My hands being to shake and my hand goes to my lips.

The reason she was never punished was because she was engaged to the prince so she was protected by the royals. Now that she's not she's gets the punishment. Now that's I'm Lydia have already bullied the heroine and Lawrence. What else have she's done now that's I'm here.

" angeline are you okay " Lawrence worries

" oh no be careful sister " Catherine said sadly

" oh um sorry , I will ask grace to help me clean this up " I said

I look at the mess I've made. I try to pick up some pieces of glass and I felt a prick on my finger.

" ah miss Lydia be careful " grace rushes to me

She grabs my hand and there are small cuts on my fingers. She pulls out a cloth and cleans the blood.

" I will get you some medicine and bandages miss Lydia " grace quickly runs off

I watch as the blood seeps out of multiple cuts again. I think about the scene again in my head over and over. I mentally fight Lydia in my head. It wasn't Lydia fault she just wasn't taught how to love. She though people she loved will leave her so she fought to keep them.

It's okay Lydia I'm here now. You don't need those people. Your gonna learn a new love. It's called self love Lydia and maybe common sense.

" angeline " Lawrence sits next to me looking at my hands

" ah I'm okay Lawrence, I just remembered a bad memory " I laugh it off

A bad memory my butt , I just remembered my death. Maybe it is better to avoid all the capture targets and the heroine. It's not like they like me or met me. If they met me already they think I'm evil and if I haven't met them yet it's better off that way.

I just wanna be able to live pass 18. Everyone is the game is older than Catherine. Maybe running away is my only option, I've already bullied Lawrence and Catherine and I'm pretty sure I annoyed the prince.

Okay new plan break off the engagement with the prince first and for most. Find a place in the town and lastly run away.

" I'm here with you okay " Lawrence said

He tucks a hair behind my ear and blushes. I think I liked Lawrence out of all the characters. He reminds me of the old me the real me. Maybe if I was my own person not Lydia, Lawrence would have been my friend.

I bump my shoulder with his and laugh trying to lift the heaviness in my heart.

" well your here now next to me dummy " I laugh

He pouts slightly but smiles anyway

" ah more blood came out, here the medication " grace comes back

She cleans the blood again and pouts the medicine. I whine at the sudden pain.

" ahh why did drop it miss Lydia " grace said worried

" I didn't do it on purpose grace " I pout

I hear Lawrence and Catherine laugh. Some how in this ever moment it seem like a normal day. No one bulling no one no one crying just laughter.
