IRIS
I went straight to the bedroom and fell into bed, pulling one of the pillows close to my chest. Not bothering to freshen up because of how much my evening with Annika weighed me down. While watching the mating dance, my eyes had briefly slid over to Annika and saw her fondling my mother's locket like it was the most precious thing in the world.
She might have as well punched me in the face because seeing that made me feel sick to my stomach and I lost all excitement in watching the mating dance. The ride back home was worse, I didn't just lose something my mother has worked her whole life for, I lost something even more precious to her.
All this started because I fell in love, cause I trusted Alec and look where that fucking got me? My mother is no doubt looking down at me from heaven with so much disapproval which was valid, how could I've been so stupid to trust Annika despite how her and her mother treated me?
