🌹CHAPTER EIGHTEEN🌹

Like Lena had said, planning the wedding will happen today and she has not stopped talking about it. Somehow I feel even worse today than I did last night. I wear this ring on my finger but it doesn't feel right to me and ever since I woke up which was only an hour ago, I've felt nothing but the feeling of cold.

"I was thinking about having a rose pink colors for the wedding, you know because your name is Rose, and there will be plenty of roses. But it will not be a large one but there will things that need planning. I will take care of everything, don't you worry, Rose" Lena says but after that I barely even listened to her speak.

Too lost in my mind and the regret of never seen the love of my life again because I have the feeling inside me that he will never forgive me for what I am going to do in just a week or so. He will find someone to love him and he will be happy while I am married to my best friend, someone I don't want to be married too but I can't refuse.

"Rose, are you listening to me?" Lena asks, breaking me out of my thoughts and I turn to look at her with concerned eyes at me. I give her an awkward smile. "How about we play a game of chess since you seem to want to think so much?" She asks and I nod.

She stands up from the bed and leaves but she is quick to come back. I wonder if she has everything in this place because no matter what I ask her or what she suggests she is not slow at getting it, in fact she's rather fast at going out the door and going somewhere to get everything.

When she comes back she puts the chess board on the table and then she helps me sit in the wheelchair. "Lena?" I ask her as she helps me get comfortable by the table with the chess board in front of me. "Yes?" She asks me as she sits across from me with a smile on her face.

"Where will you get a priest?" I ask her, even when I don't want this marriage that doesn't stop me from wondering. I'm pretty sure she's not going to want to do this in a church because she doesn't want us to be found or she doesn't want me to be found.

She shrugs. "I won't be getting a priest anywhere, I will be the one to marry us since I got it from the internet a year ago and then again a couple of months ago so I can marry us" She says and my eyes widen. All right, that I had no idea about, I did not know that she can marry people.

And it does surprise me that she is going to marry us, I did not expect that. So, I'm going to guess that there will be no one else at this wedding, that there will be no family or friends at there which only crushes another one of my dreams, as I've always wanted to have my family with me when I get married.

Then again I've wanted to marry Alexander from the moment we got engaged. I have no words to say after that but the chess game starts so I am more focused on that. Still, even when we are playing chess and I should be trying to focus on the game, I find my thoughts wander somewhere else.

"I think you're dying from excitement that you can barely play chess, which you are always so good at. I'm that way too. I can barely sit still, I'm so excited. Just think about it, soon we will be married and our lives can finally start. It will be the best" Lena says but she doesn't know the truth about how I feel right about now.

Lena has no idea how much pain and sadness she is causing me and as much as I would like to tell her, tell her everything, I can't. I've seen how she can get a bit angry, which is unlike her but angering her is the last thing that I want to do. That is why I just have to endure this.

I've survived being shot at and I've survived heartbreak and betrayal, I think this will be a walk in the park, just walking in that park for the rest of my life because this marriage is for life. "What do you want for lunch, a hamburger or a hot dog?" She asks me after a while.

The question does surprise me as I did not expect her to ask that after she has been talking about the wedding and stuff like that. "Hamburger" I say without really thinking about it, because I'm so worried about everything else and I would like to be able to panic because I'm sure I would be insanely panicking right about now.

If only I had the ability to do so. "Good because I was also feeling like a hamburger for lunch since it has been a long time since we've had one together" Lena tells me. We are playing the chess and I might not be paying much attention to it but I'm still winning, though I do get the feeling that has something to do with the fact that she's letting me win.

"What would be the perfect wedding present for you, I don't know what I can give you so I need you to tell me what you want?" She asks me, I look up at her to see that she is still focused on the game but her question does take me by surprise.

Wanting nothing more than to tell her that I want to be with the man that I love and have this wedding shut down so I could marry him instead. But I can't say that no matter how much I want to. "I don't know, I guess I haven't really thought about it, but what would I be getting you since there is not much I can give?" I ask her.

Hinting that I do want to get out of here, though I doubt she would be able to see through it and understand what I am hinting at. She looks up at smiles at me but there is something else hidden behind her smile that I don't know what is. "You don't have to give me anything, silly, being with you is the best wedding present I could ever have" She says.

Mentally groaning as she did not pick on the hint but I suppose I will just have to continue to hint more about it until she understands that I don't want to be here. Sure, it's wonderful being here with my best friend but this isn't what I want, none of this is what I truly want.

"Checkmate" I say after a while of silence and us just playing the game and me winning it, but it has been at least a half an hour or even longer, as there is no clock in here, and I can't tell the time that is here. I can't tell anything anymore as everything does confuse me to the limit.

"How did you do that?" She asks me and I shrug. "We have to play again" Lena then says and I nod my head as we set the pieces back in their position and without another word we start another game of chess. Passing the time with chess is a great way but it still gives me so much time to think about everything that has been going on in my life.

The silence is not giving me something that I want, it's actually worse than I want it to be and it is making everything so hard for me to do and it's hard to not think about the things that I don't want to think about and now I'm only confusing myself even further with all of this.

I know that finding a way out of here is not going to be easy as I can't walk, well temporarily and Lena always locks the door behind her so there is no way I would be able to get out like that and the window has bars so that is a no. There is no way to get out of here. I suppose time will just have to unfold everything to me.

"You won, again" Lena says. We have been playing chess all day and I've won every single game without even trying to win, it just happens. Though I know that Lena is trying to let me win. The evening came quick and we are still playing and I've just won another game.

"Lena, is there any way that we can have a TV in here?" I ask her and she gives me a look, a look that frightens me as her eyes show anger but there is a smirk on her face and something tells me that is not a good look that she has on her face.

It makes shivers run down my spine for all the wrong reasons and it gives me the creeps inside. "No, that is not an option, the world outside doesn't matter for our lives. We have each other and that is all we will ever need" She says and her tone is so dark for some reason that I don't question it further nor say anything more.

I only wanted to have something else to do and I truly want to see my family, even if it is on the TV but I also want to see if there is anyone looking for me. If there is anyone missing me that people are looking. I don't know if someone has given up.

It breaks me apart if my own family would give up and stop looking because I know that the only way that I am ever going to get out of this place is if I am found by someone else. It saddens me to think that the only way that I can see my family and my love is if they find me.

"How about we do something else" Lena suggests and all I can do is nod my head as I don't know what else I could say to her, as I really don't want to anger her, that would be bad. I'm not sure what else she is capable of doing and I don't intend to figure that one out.

She stands up and sits on the bed. "I could paint your nails" She suggests. And once again I just nod my head, not knowing what else to do in the matter, even when I don't really want to get my nails painted. Smiling she stands up and walks out of the room and then when she comes back she is holding on a couple of nail polish bottles.

Putting them down on the table and then moving the chess board on the bed, she sits back down. "What color do you want?" She asks me and I look at them all to see one color that stands out. It's a nice dark red and it reminds me of the roses that Alexander gave me when he took me to the room where he had so many roses everywhere in all the colors.

"That one" I quietly say and she only smiles as she picks that bottle up and opens it and soon she starts painting my nails one by one as the nail polish scent fills up the room that we're in. "I'm going to make your nails look perfect, just like you are" She says to me with a kind smile on her face.
