Guilt rides my shoulders like a tonne of bricks. Walking away from Everly when the King and Queen slated her body appearance straight after. She's perfect in every way, I can't imagine forcing her to only eat one meal a day.Controlling what she eats and how much. It makes my stomach churn with pure anger.
And watching her sob, in broken tears. I feel like the shittiest human being on the planet. I should have been there for her, through the pounding instincts to rip myself from the situation. I should have stayed right beside her. I've told her that she's never alone and I did the complete opposite.
I never want to make her upset ever again. The image of her tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes settles in my brain, haunting me to the point of disgust for myself.
Everly doesn't deserve someone else turning her back on her. My situation is nothing compared to hers and I'm the one who is acting like a child. And deciding that I need to leave to be able to do something doesn't make this any easier.
It makes it nearly impossible. The thought of leaving her here alone will give me nothing but nightmares. But outside the castle I can discuss my evidence with Sophie without invalidating them over texts and calls that can be recorded and used against me.
So now I'm going to soak up every given second for this girl.
I'll regret it once I'm gone. Worrying when I'm going to see her again. When she will finally be back in my arms.
