The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

CHAPTER 1: Take Me Away

“I’m not trying to hurt you Aqua,” That’s what he said after he broke up with me, not that it helped at all. “You’re just too submissive and that’s not really what I’m looking for.” Maybe he was right, but I wish I knew before I wasted all that time with him. “I thought it was hot at first but I'm a little bored with it now. I had a good time with you, but I can’t picture this going anywhere.” They always get bored so why do I bother dating at all? Maybe because I thought love would save me from my depressing life.

I couldn’t help the tears and he couldn’t help wiping them away before he walked out of my life for good. Later that week my therapist had to dive deeper into the situation in every way. I didn’t have much to rely on now for happiness but that’s nothing new. I thought things would look up soon because I was with him, but you can’t put all your hope in a relationship. My parents knew it wouldn’t last but that’s because they didn’t think everyone was cut out for relationships. I was one of those people to them.

When I came home from my therapy appointment, we had guests. No one I’d ever seen before, but I didn’t think too much of it since I didn’t know all my parent’s friends or co-workers. I was supposed to be on my way to class, but I dropped out of college a few weeks ago. I didn’t tell my parents since I didn’t really drop out, well not officially. I just stopped attending my classes and a few already dropped me. Sometimes I wondered what this was all for because I don’t know if I was living for myself or just to fit into social structures and economy. Maybe it was my ADHD that made me feel so disconnected or maybe it was more than that. “Aqua, you should join us,” my mom said when I almost slipped away to my room.

It seemed like they were arguing before I came in, so I wasn’t going to bother introducing myself. I walked into the living room where they were all seated on two separate couches. On one were my parents and on the other were two oddly dressed men. One looked a little older than me and the other could have been his father easily. The older man looked familiar but distantly. “I’m Aqua, their oldest daughter,” I introduced myself since nobody else wanted to speak first.

The younger man muttered, “That’s up to debate.”
