Vows of a Poisoned Prince
Chapter 1
The sharp pain proves that the bullet punctured my chest
I'm not surprised he could do it.
Because he is the golden child. The one who gets everything. Even in storms, he always came first.
My knees hit the floor the same time he drops his gun
My vision blurs. He falls to his knees to. Probably, the shock hitting him of what he has done to his brother
The same brother he assured day and night that he wasn't less.
He said I deserved the world and all the love in it
My lips tip up in a painful curve when I see her behind him.
Teary. Scared. Shivering. From the cold or fear, I am not sure
And for once, I don't care. Don't let myself feel when she presses her hand to my brother's shoulder.
Even in pain, he wasn't alone. Unlike me
Even in death, I don't get a farewell.
The tears in his eyes drops the same time my body hits the floor. Painful with all the scars I carry.
Proof that I can love, just never be loved back. No matter how hard I try.
My eyes fall close, as my mother recites the final chapter of my favourite book, 'Forever, truly yours'
A book that I have read more times than I can count
My heart blooms as the protagonists get their happily ever after.
I laugh at my absurd thought
A human, always wishing for the impossible
I feel my mom's hand tremble as she caresses my head
Nothing like how a 29 year old should be.
My body shrinked to a size comparable to a 16 year old just more sick
My hairless head covered in a cloth so I see my pathetic self more patheticaly
I wonder when I am alone. What did I do to ever suffer this pain. This cruelsome sickness that no one should suffer
The smell of hospital disinfect is no longer unfamiliar to me.
My parents, my sweet, sweet parents, trying to come up with a smile so hard when I know they only want to lock themselves and cry to the world of how painful it is to watch their daughter suffer from Glioblastoma
Brain tumor that I once studied myself
What is the point of the youngest neurosurgeon, when I couldn't even safe myself
My closed I tremble as I feel tired to my bone
To keep fighting, when I know the result myself
No medication. No surgery can safe me.
All of it would simply prolong what I feel
Every day, I suffer, knowing I won't survive.
I am so selfish. So, so selfish.
My breath evens as I pray
Please Lord, unburden my them. If there is any other life, I wish my fate to be different
With my family and my very own happy ending.
Where I leave them with nothing but sadness and tears in their eyes
From distict I hear my parents wail. Loudly
But I don't make an effort this time.
Chapter 2
？？？
Wake up, Z *muffled***shaking his shoulder*
A little clarity fitters to my head
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Mmmm
？？？
Oh my God! Grandpa is going to be so mad! Wake the f*ck up! *shake him hardly*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*gasp awake*
？？？
Jesus! Finally! *breath out*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*look at the woman* Lena?
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
How many bottles did you have last might? *raise her brow*
She put her hand in front of my face, her fore finger and middle finger pointing upwards
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
How many is this? Give me an answer, so I know which level of sober are you?
I'm still trying to figure out what is going on, but Lena just wouldn't shut up
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
I know you are in senior year and all, but you guys got to tone it down
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
How long were you out partying last night?
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
You smell like sh*t! *disgusted face*
She jumps off my bed and walks to the closet, blabbering her way through, but I am still stuck in what she said
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
The f*ck did you just say? *blooms at her*
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
*pause**peek out of closet* The hell is wrong with you? Did you mix up dr*gs?! *scowl*
I hold my head in my hands, because it feels like it would explode any moment and if she doesn't answer, I am not sure what I would be doing to her
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Lena *gritting teeth* Repeat what you said earlier *growl*
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
*raise her brows* That are you doing dr*gs?
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*breath out* Before that?
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
*roll her eyes* Tone the f*ck down! It's just your senior year!
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
Oh my God! What is wrong with you! You've been acting all strange... *walk into the closet shouting and blabbering*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*staring at his lap**holding his head*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Senior year? *whisper* What?
I jump down from my bed and walk to Lena who was fusing with my clothes
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
....not only grandpa, dad is gonna be super, super mad if we are late! Got damn it! *gasp*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*pull her by her shoulder* Lena, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Paris?
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
*frown* London? For what?
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
For- For your internship? Your modelling gig-
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
What are you even talking about?
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
Why would I go for modelling? That is not even in my dreams of careers! *look at Zayn as id he has gone mad*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Yes *nods* Yes, it wasn't... But you did go to Paris... *whisper* when you got the offer after... *breathing hardly*
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
Z? What's wrong? Are you alright?
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Lena? *tremble**hold her shoulder tightly*
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
Hmm? *concerned*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
What year is this? *gulp*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*twist in bed* Mmmm
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*searching for the alarm mindlessly*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Oh God! *sit up frustratedly*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Why on ear- *stop**look at her hand*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*breath out slowly, shocked*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
What is... No way *whisper in shock*
My eyes connects with mine through the large mirror
I stand with my shaking legs
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*breath out sharply*
Chapter 3
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
I'm done *put down his cutleries*
The buzz around the table stops
Nora Delacruz [Zayn Mom]
Are you sure, honey? *look at his plate* You've barely had any
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*swallow**staring at his plate* *nods* Yes.
？？？
...why don't you have some of this, Z? It's your favourite *passes him soup*
I flinch at her voice. My heart thumping harder against my rib cage
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*clench his fists* No thank you... Lilah *push away the plate and stand* Have a nice breakfast *walk away*
Delilah Adams [Zayn's Friend][Novel FL]
*watch him go*
Lena Delacruz [Zayn Sister]
Ignore him. His been moody all morning.
I slam the door of my room, breathing hard
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*sit on the bed holding head**breathing heavily*
Nora Delacruz [Zayn Mom]
"Honey"
Delilah Adams [Zayn's Friend][Novel FL]
"Z?"
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
AHHHHHHH! *shout*
I still can't wrap my head around this
I'm awake. Back in my 18-year-old body
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
F*ck
But why? I... I don't want...
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*laugh harshly*
Why am I given this chance when I really, really don't want to live?
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
*fall back on bed*
Zayn Delacruz [ML][Novel Villain]
Now what?
My head snaps to the door
The organ in my chest trembles
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*sob softly**looking at the closed door*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*hurriedly wipe her face* Yes *softly*
The door opens and he steps in. The first who held my heart in his palms.
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Are you alright, Rosa? *ask gruffly*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*sniff* Daddy! *throw herself in his arms*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Oh! *catch her* Rosa?
My father's rough voice croaks, but this time with the soften edge and that makes my tears spill all over him
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
Daddy... Dad...
My shoulder shake by the force I hold him to me
I remember seeing this same face. In the hospital ward. Broken, yet standing so strong for me
He held my hand through all the procedure with a smile as if watching me in pain didn't break him
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Rosa, sweetheart, I won't know what it is if you don't tell me. Is something bothering you? Or is it someone? Rosa? *concern*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*shake head* *sob*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
*sigh* What is it baby? *caress her head*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*break the hug and look at him* ... I missed you, daddy *sob* So much *sniff*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
*laugh heartily* Look at you mopping like my small baby girl again. Daddy is going nowhere, sweetheart *kiss her head*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
It isn't going to be long before you come back, okay? I'm sure your brother will take care of you, hmm?
I was so busy staring at him that I missed his sentences
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Let's get you to breakfast, if not your mom is going to go all Hulk
He hold my hand and I feel like a little girl again and I forget about all his words about me going away
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
...Mom?
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
What? Wasn't gonna miss your mom? Baby, although we both know she is a little crack on her head, let's not make it obvious shall we?
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*snort*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Hey! *glare*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*cover her smiling mouth*
Gabriel Montaya [Rosa's Father]
Better. Now, your mom is not as cool as me, *nonchalantly* But we can't make her feel that way, so whatever treatment you gave me, should be given to her too. No bias. Clear? *raise a brow at her*
Rosalinda Montaya [FL]
*nod* *smiling*
Oh my God. This is so real.
