Trial Of Love: Be Loved For Who I Am Not For Whom I Am

Elizabeth Knightley

“Hello…”

“Sam, it's Jackie. I’m wondering if Elizabeth is homes right now.”

“The miss has not come home since last winter vacation. Is there something wrong?”

“I haven't seen her for 3 days now, I've also asked around and none of our friends have seen her as well.”

The young girl could not believe what she just heard as she drops the phone from the shocked she received, her mind was completely blank as she ponders on things.

“Hello…”

“Hello, Sam…”

She quickly picked up the phone from the ground and answered, “Miss Jackie don't worry, I’ll handle everything.”

“Call me at once..” Jackie said as she ended the call.

After the call, she did not inform anyone about what she just found out. Instead, she grabs her coat and asked one of the drivers to take her somewhere.

"Young Miss I hope you're there." She thought as she got inside the car.

After a few hours drive

Out of nowhere in a private estate. Out in the forest near the lake was a small cottage. It was one of the many cottages in the private estate. Inside the cottage was a vast piece of artworks and canvass, an old piano and violin.

When Sam steps inside the cottage and noticed the canvas on the board, she went and check it. "It's still wet,"

She quickly headed down to the lake, there she saw the young girl she was looking for, squatting by the edge of the pier wrapping herself in a blanket.

“Miss…” she yelled as she approached her.

The girl turned around and saw who was behind her, her tears started falling down her face unconsciously as she said; “I was stupid…”

Sam saw how broken the girl was, her heart was aching as she saw the tears rolling down her face. Never in all her years being with her has she seen the girl like this. She did not walk towards her, for she knew from the start that this would happen, even her parents expected this would happen. But they never stop her from doing what she wants and instead supported her.

...The Lady and Lord knew this would happen, we all hope that someday your eyes would be opened. I've prepared myself for this by why is it still so painful looking at you.

“Stop crying already and get up, you have been gone for a long time and have missed loads of your class. Your finally an adult and here you are acting like a child. We did not raise you to be a weak-minded girl and you know you are not weak. You are better than this and you know that...”

The girl was shocked by hearing all the words' Sam just told her, her body moved on its own as she wipes her tears away.

“So stop acting as if they have the rights to bully you, get up already and act like a lady. You are the only daughter of the Knightley family, why must you cry for such a lousy person...”

She did not know how to responded to Sam's words filled with disappointment at her, never had she seen Sam furious in all her life with her.

She looked at Sam and could not help it but laugh.

The woman was shocked when she saw the girl laugh which made her confuse as well.

“Sam, go clear the cottage for me, I’m heading back..."

Elizabeth walked closer to Sam as she softly said, "Thank you,"

It was alright late that evening when she arrived at the train station.

As people walked out of the station, they were all shocked when they heard a girl’s voice scream. “Bit*ch”

Everyone looked around to see who she was referring to and notice her stare was all focus towards the girl behind them. They all started getting their phones out to take a picture in case a fight was about to happen. But unexpectedly they what they witness was different from what they expected.

The young girl who yelled earlier face turned red as tears rolled down her face, “I told you he was a j*rk…”

The people then wonder how the other person would respond.

"I know," she replied as tears rolled down her face as well.

Seeing how things ended, people continued heading their way as they realize what was going on.

As the night deepens, two drunk girls were sat together on the floor.

“Jackie, how can I be foolish?”

“Well… *hiccups* love is a foolish thing anyways… *hiccups*” she said as she continued to drown herself in wine. “That jerk, does he know who you are?” She drunk another glass of wine and laugh as she added, “if he knew who you are, he won't dare sleep with that sl*t. But men like him are always into that sort of things."

“Jackie, I think you had enough wine...”

Jackie laughed as the girl tries to take the wine away but her grip was still strong enough which made Elizabeth let go. “My dear Elizabeth Knightley, let me enjoys this okay babe, we have a few more days left… so let me okay. Plus, I’m celebrating your freedom from that jerk.”

Elizabeth was speechless from what Jackie said, "But she was right… I am finally free from this blind game of love. For more than I year I became foolish and blinded for nothing," she thought

As the night deepens, Elizabeth woke up as she turned around and notice the girl asleep beside her. She got up and grab a blanker, covered the girl on the floor. She then slowly and quite cleaned the place up. Once she completed her tasked, she grabs the pillows on her bed and the blanket and slept next to the girl on the floor.
