Chapter Nineteen

*** Phoenix ***

Sadie’s getting married. I’m thrilled for her, knowing how very much she deserves a happy ending. Still, there’s a small, very minuscule piece of me that’s filled with envy.

I’ve told myself I don’t want to wed until after the war is finished, I’d prefer to wait, but I’m not only lying to others, I'm lying to myself as well. I love Jayden with all of my heart — and I want to stand next to him while we vow to stay true to one another.

I really want him to stay home with me, quit leaving on these dangerous missions, and hold me every single night. It seems I’m one of the last of the girls my age to still be unmarried. Is Jayden truly hesitant because of the war, or is it because I’m not an immortal and he knows I’ll die one day?

I know he loves me, I can feel it when I’m in his arms. I’m suddenly feeling so insecure because we haven’t been together enough. When he first came to the caves, we were together every minute of every day, and now I’m lucky to see him once a week.

Sadie and Brian don’t see each other nearly as much these days, either, but their love is still holding strong. Of course, Sadie hadn’t almost fallen in love with another guy like I did. I still think about Devon sometimes — not in a romantic way, but he was my friend, there for me when my world was falling apart.

Why does every single day have to be so difficult? When will all of this get easier? I have so much more than others to be thankful for that I feel guilty putting these selfish thoughts on paper, but I’m reassured that the only way anyone will ever read these books is if I die. At least if they think I’m a spoiled brat, I won’t know about it. I’m exhausted. It feels like ages since I’ve slept uninterrupted. I might choose to rip this entire page out once I get a full night's rest. For now, I think it’s time to sleep . . .
