***
I know that I am dreaming, but I don't want to wake up. In my dream, Gabriel is a human; the dream is perfect. I open my eyes and everything comes back to me. Mother is beside my bed and I am in my room. The pain in my heart reminds me that I wasn’t dreaming. The bright light pours into my bedroom. It’s a nice a sunny day.
‘How are you feeling?’ asks Natasha carefully.
I stare at her for a long moment. I don't care how I’m feeling. I don't even care that she is here with me. I lost him forever.
‘I am fine.’
I don't look at her. My body is aching, and I just want to go back to sleep and dream once again about the happiness that I could have had.
‘I am taking you back to London; I have packed your bag already. I don't care if you hate me, I love you and I want to be your mother,’ she says, but I am not listening, I just nod.
My movements are mechanical. For about a minute she stares at me, but I still look away, unable to meet her eyes.
‘I have to get to the bathroom,’ I say.
‘I will be waiting downstairs,’ she says, leaving me alone in the room.
I put on trousers and a T-shirt and look outside the window at the clear blue sky. I notice Rose standing in the garden looking up at me. My mind is blank as I walk downstairs. I pass the kitchen and step outside, taking the fresh air into my lungs and enjoying the sun on my skin.
‘Why are you here?’ I ask, staring at her perfect posture.
Rose’s expression reveals that she doesn’t want to even look at me. Her face is pale and tense. Her shiny blonde hair is embracing her shoulders and her olive eyes are red. She is silent. I clearly disgust her.
‘His love for you isn't real,’ she almost chuckles. It seems she can’t believe that she is telling me this. Her chest rises and falls.
‘I am tired, Rose. What do you want?’ I snap, staring at her, wondering what she is trying to achieve. She steps closer to me, sucking the corner of her lips.
‘I just want you to know that Gabriel will never choose you over his own people. Sooner or later, I will find a way to bring him back.’
I start laughing. ‘Is that a threat?’
‘He may love you, but he will never be yours because you created these new emotions. You are just a human and Sprites will always go back to their kind.’
‘I think you should let him decide that.’
Rose doesn't let me finish; she turns around and she is gone, leaving me standing alone in the garden. My body is in pain, but it isn't a physical pain. My heart won’t stop bleeding. I don't want to see Gabriel, his life is lost.
The cold, bitter wind ruffles my hair. After a moment I get back inside. I am unable to cry. Natasha is standing in the kitchen. She is staring at me like she is expecting me to tell her what’s happened. The flicker of uncertainty flashes through her brown eyes.
‘Are you ready?’ she asks.
‘Ready?’
‘I am taking you to London for heaven's sake. You are not staying here,’ she presses in a high-pitched tone.
I just nod because I am unable to fight with her right now. My world has fallen to pieces. She doesn’t understand what is going on with me. She doesn’t get that my soul has been crushed.
‘Your suitcase is in the car. Is there anything else you want to take?’
I shake my head. She gives me a sharp look, but she doesn’t say anything else. I follow her. Before I lock the door I take one more look at the house.
Memories; everything began here and it seems that everything will end here. This part of my life is over. I am going back home, Gabriel is staying here; I am probably never going to see him again. I finally realise that we were never meant to be together. I have never admitted to myself that my feelings for him were pure and irrepressible. I will never stop remembering him.
