Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 33 : the party

Amelie's POV

Jamie had let me out, and I'd come here, and suddenly here I was, getting my dress sorted for some kind of party, for yet another price? I was annoyed.

But my dress... my dress was a amazing. How could such a dress be made? It was amazing... again.

The dress was silky silver, with a gold belt. I couldn't describe how beautiful it was.

As I'd left the room I'd looked around for Damien, then Jamie, just because it was force of habit, before slipping out to go back to my room.

"who let you out? Or did you jump out of your window again?" I stood stock still as I heard Damien's voice behind me.

"I... left and... slipped away..."

"Jamie was guarding the door."

"well... yes..." I sighed. This wasn't going well. I had to pretend I'd be lying about something, but not what the truth was.

"OK, OK, I jumped out of the window again."

"I don't see a single bruise. That's a big drop, Amelie."

I thought back to when Jamie had jumped me out of the window. Had there been anything that I might of been able to climb down on?

"I went down on the drainpipe, duh."

"Quite an adventure, just for a simple goal."

"I was quite bored."

Damien stared at me, trying to read my face. I stayed firm, pretending I was telling the truth, and finally he nodded.

"OK. Well, as you probably know, there is going to be a ball for King Damien of the west end, and his future wife. I am going to take you, as Jamie is taking 2. 3 is going with a man you do not know,"

"hmm. What if I choose NOT to go?"

"you don't get a choice."

"oh, sure. Do I ever get a choice on anything?"

Damien grinned. "no, not really,"

I went up to my room, but he just followed me like a puppy the entire way. I could even imagine him wagging his tale, and it would be cute.

I glared at him and slammed my door in his face. Cat was lying on her bed, reading a book, and she look shocked when I walked in. I could hear water running, so I knew Macy was probably taking a shower.

"why so shocked?" I asked, going over to my phone and checking for texts. I had one missed call, from my mum. I sighed.

"A," Cat began, "you were supposed to be stuck in here, alone, for 2 days. B, you just slammed the door in Damien's face. C, why the hell did Jamie let you out?"

"he got pissed at Damien for some reason and let me out. He just disappeared. Hey, nice to see you again."

But to my shock, she was really angry. Like, REALLY angry.

"D, you tried to escape!! What were you THINKING, Em? If he'd wanted to, Damien could of killed you!"

"but he didn't," I mumbled. "and I knew he wouldn't even WANT to!".

"how do you know? You're not his wife YET! He could choose either of us still, if he decided you were getting on his nerves! A, he could of killed you!" she added sharply at the end, but I'd already heard the main bits.
