A few nights later I needed someone to speak to. Just to vent about this crazy situation that Everly is in, how every time I look at the King, I see that deceiving and manipulative smile. Considering my non-disclosure agreement, there isn't a lot I can do regarding speaking out. But I trust Kai, I trust him with my life.

We're brothers. We've been through some serious shit together. Seen some serious shit together. We have a special bond that I didn't think I could experience in this life-time. A friendship so solid that I know I could tell him anything and it will be safe with him forever.

He's dropped me a few texts since I've been here. It's almost been five weeks since I started and we've barely had a chance to talk. But tonight I know that I need to express something before I explode.

I know that I can't address this shit to Everly because it's not my life, it's hers. But every day that I spend with her, I realise that this is severely unfair. Like keeping an animal in a tiny glass box at the zoo and not allowing it to experience anything else but the same four walls. It's sad, devastating. Knowing that she can't leave. She can't pursue her dreams.

You watch them struggle, you see them deteriorate and you feel useless. Wishing there was something I could do to get her out of here.

As the phone rings on my mobile, I huff out a sigh and try to relax into the soft pillows. Egyptian cotton might be nice but it felt uncomfortable, nothing could shake the guilt that clouds my mind.
