A ball again tonight, I get ready after I wrap my arm and head to it, mother and father already there. I run a hand through my hair but don't bother rushing, getting there just in time.

Mother mentions a ball, gets me all nice and proper for it, even though I tell her all I want to do is sleep. Just like before I left, they drag me to the ceremony and show me around as if I'm some prize, making sure to mention that I fought for our town. My stomach knots, the whole thing sickening to me, and I remain expressionless the whole night.
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
And I just can't hide
I kind of like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up
Inside

I sit in the corner like normal, sighing as I see my parents lost in some coversation at a table.

I spot Isabel, but don't go over, following my parents around to appease them.

I stay where I am, tired, and yawn.

My parents separate from me and leave me standing in the middle of the ballroom. The noise, constant chatter, unsettles me and I soon find myself heading out the door for fresh air.

I see Will heading for the door and hesitate before following him when he's out.

Once outside, I allow myself to breathe. Shaking my head at myself, I force the sound of cannons firing and shouts of pain out of my head. I close my eyes and run a hand through my hair, leaning against the brick of an alleyway.

I open my eyes and glance back at her, "Hi. Why aren't you inside?"

I sigh, "It's too crowded," I tell him.

I nod and look down, not sure what to say.

I glance at him, "I'm sorry. I was mad; broken, and didn't want to push you away like that."

I nod and play with a frayed part of my coat, "S'in the past. Let's keep it there, please."

I study him, he doesn't want to get back together? I nod and hesitate before sighing and starting to head to the tavern.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
