trying is what matters…

  **  Episode-104 trying is what matters…** **    Celeste’s POV: **                         I am in this room, mom left to my home town… she apologized to me.. and I decided to stay here.. for me my education is important… since Mr. Turner is helping me, I will move forward… but I am not ok with it…       In these 5 days I dreamed of Ernest every single night, he is haunting me in my nightmares… I am terrified by what happened to me. I didn’t even walk out of room in  3 days… I fear if I go out he will catch me again.. I tried to remove this ring but it won’t come out…       I remember how he looked at me when Queen was taking me out… why he made feel like I did wrong by walking out of there?... I should be out of that place… what he did to my mind?... he did something to my inner self I keep thinking of him and it’s not in negative way. but I slap myself subconsciously to remind me that I was kidnapped, r*aped and tortured….      I just sat here on bed without much to do, I heard a knock on the door and Daisy walks in, I haven’t talked to her since I saw her, there is a man behind daisy….. Daisy places the bags and said, “Cele… I got your things from the apartment… your dad also asked me to buy you things, I got them all… and here is your new phone…” I didn’t said anything…     Daisy went silent, she sat beside me and said, “sorry… I.. I was hired to be near you and help you…. but… I never played with you, we are really friends… at first I was working but soon I started helping you as your friend....” I looked at her, she said as she wiped her tears, “see.. you made me cry… I was worried sick when I couldn’t find you… it’s ok if you get angry on me but remember your this friends was worried sick about you..” I looked at her for few seconds… what wrong she did.. she did nothing wrong..     I said, “I am sorry.. I should be rude to you… can we be friends?” she chuckled as she pinched my cheek, she said, “we are always friends my dumb genius..” I hugged her…     After few seconds she said, “wait… let me introduce you to your permanent bodyguard, Mr. Ace… kidding you can just call him Ace… your dad kicked me out and placed me in other department, because you got kidnapped when I was on duty…” I looked at her in surprise… do I even need a body guard?... maybe I do     I looked at the man named Ace, Daisy said, “you ok now…. how can that Prince do that….” My eyes were filling with tears, as I remembered him. Daisy said, “he should be punished… I ha-”     I heard Ace’s voice stopping Daisy, “stop… she is uncomfortable..” I looked at him as tears filled my eye, he appears cold but he read my face… Daisy said, “sorry….”       I said, “Daisy… I want to change my hair color back to original… I hate this…” Daisy looked at me and then said, “I will call a stylist…”        Daisy was calling the stylist when I asked, “what does Mr. Turner do?” I asked this and Ace said, “he is weapon dealer, he has high status around people he works… he works for the King…” I looked at him, my father works for the King….       Daisy walks in and said, “Celeste… the stylist said, you can recolor or bleach after at least 2 months after coloring… you need to wait…” I have to stay with this hair for 2 months… it’s been just 10 to -12 days he made me like this… I nodded and said, “ok….”         I touched one of the bag and I see my books, I asked, “books?”     Daisy said, “your college has internal exams in 10 days… so.. I though… if you want to then you can go… Mr. Turner has no issue if you want to go or if you want to quit…”         Daisy touched my face and said, “but I know… Celeste is stronger… she can face it… you are out of it, you are safe. I know my Cele will work her a** off in the exams…” I thought for a moment as looked down.    Ace said, “I will be there to insure your safety, Miss. Celeste…” I thought for a moment, do I want to risk my dreams for that man who tortured me?.. no I will complete my education, he can’t make me feel like this… I will not give up.. now I have my father to protect me and he has no reason to hate me now.. I am not Reef Millar’s biological daughter….      I nodded and said, “I will try… but I don’t think I can get good grades…” Daisy smiled and said, “doesn’t matter.. trying is what matters….”
