It was next Sunday a full week had passed in-between the last time he went to church and 5 days since he had last seen Clara, he missed her with his whole heart. He had begun to get ready brushing his teeth taking a shower just the normal things before going to church even put on his suit his grandpa had bought him at the store "Son next week is palms Sunday let's make sure you look extra good that day". Said grandpa "what's that grandpa ive never heard of that before when they talk about the bible". Said cupid "Well sonny it's when Jesus went over the town of Jerusalem his grand entrance of a sort where he rides his camel it's something every religious church that's Christian that celebrates". Cupid thought back to that moment when he was getting his suit on his grandpa even showed him how to tie a tie in the mirror for the very first time something a memory cupid felt like he would never forget after.
Eventually they arrived greeting everyone and cupid took one of the free donuts and the free palm leaves they were handing out. "Hey, look cupid look how cool the palm leaves are "Said grandpa as he heartily laughs and playfully hits cupid with it.cupid just slightly aggravated but ignores him entirely. He just stands there with his palm leaf in hand waiting to see Clara go through those doors maybe even with a classy dress on and a palm in her hand. Just waiting and waiting and waiting ten minutes twenty thirty eventually the whole service is over, yet she had not appeared. Although he was not worried, he truly did wonder why she didn't show up it wasn't until his grandpa told him the truth that he had been completely Blind fully hopefully. "I'm sorry to tell you this sonny but Clara won't be coming anymore her, and her parents moved away out of New York for how long i do not know but you won't ever see her at church anymore I'm sorry". Said his grandpa. Immediately Cupids heart had begun to sink sink so deep sink so so deep within itself a swelling feeling had begun to occur. A feeling of complete exhaustion complete confusion. Feeling instantly betrayed he ran out of the church as soon as his grandpa had told him barely holding back his tears as he ran past strangers even bumping into some.
as soon as he got to the car, he hid behind it and begun to bail out his tears. All while thinking to himself why why did she leave me why did she go I thought she was going to be the one there for me I thought i thought I thought. Just immediately all these thoughts intercepting his mind his voice of reason nowhere to be found voices of past trauma resurfacing. You're the problem cupid it's your fault if only you weren't born if only you weren't around. Voices like this all attacked him. "HEY sonny come here it's not your fault I swear don't worry it's not your fault "Said his grandpa as he wrapped his arms around cupids fragile like body in the state it was tears just beaming down cupids face drenched in snot and tears. Hey just sat there for what felt like ages even if it was only a couple minutes his grandpa just comforting him. Eventually they got up as his grandpa wiped the tears off cupids' face onto his handkerchief. "Don't worry son i know it hurts and it will hurt for a while you cared about her, but pain always grows cold with time people are like seasons don't worry grandpa is here for you now "Said grandpa although cupid wasn't exactly sure as to what he meant at all to anything he was saying cupid could tell it meant a lot and he would try and remember those words. "What do you say we go get ice cream sonny we can even get some for mother "Said grandpa trying to cheer cupid up. "Okay "Said cupid.

Although cupid had gotten his ice cream and began to feel a little bit better, he still wasn't happy. "Hey sonny let me tell you a story about a dragon and a knight so the dragon was to be slain by the knight because the king ordered so but when the knight saw the dragon as soon as he was about to slay the creature he saw the dragon was a mother just trying to guard her kids and he decided to spare her sometimes in life people make decisions or do things we don't understand but it doesn't mean it's wrong although the knight became exiled he never killed the dragon "Said grandpa. Cupid understood what it meant, and it seemed like a cool story he began to compare his situation to the knights and understanded it wasn't in his hands he didn't need to feel some types of ways nothing was his fault he had no blame. This was something that took cupid a long time to realize after growing up through such severe trauma it began to shape and transform him into someone he couldn't recognize. Yet this story established a piece of cupid like an egg that has a broken chick inside that showed cupid he could become someone else someone better as a person. It was up to him though to decide this.
