We Ride With the Tide

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO - DESCENDANTS 3

Lizzie's POV

I was so tired that I was barely awake as I sat at our usual table in the Chip Shoppe, I have been having trouble sleeping for the past week and luckily for Harry he'd taken the dagger out of our bed since more than once did I wake up on the offence and he'd been thrown out of the tiny bed we shared by my thrashing and punches which I wouldn't snap out of it and he'd would have to physically hold me in his arms and hold my wrists to stop me from hurting him or myself until I was able to calm myself down.

Today was the day that the traitors were returning for the new ones but I was barely watching the news on the TV which everyone in Chip Shoppe seemed to be so interested in and frankly I'd rather be on the ship right now sleeping but without Harry about I was scared to sleep since I had no idea what I'd do if he wasn't with me when I woke up in my pained states, I had a history of trying to kill myself and honestly wouldn't put it past my mad mind to try and Harry seemed to know that which is why he'd practically had to drag me here this morning.

"Lizzie?" my eyes snapped open and I sat up straighter having nearly drifted off and met Gil's eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah Gil, I'm fine" I smiled at him since I didn't want anyone knowing about these episodes but I met Harry's eyes and he gave me a worried look, I hated the fact that I was stressing him out and he looked just as tired as I did from all the times I've woken him up the past week. "What's been going on?"

"Mal and the King just turned up" Desiree told me and I turned my attention to the TV which was broadcasting the whole event of them coming to the Isle to pick up the twins, Dizzy and Celia. I saw Mal and Ben come out both waving and shaking hands like the perfect lady of the court and king which was enough to make me barf since she was such a traitor and so fake.

"Bippity-Boppity one, two, one, two" the Fairy Godmother said into a microphone. "Can everyone hear me?" I rolled my eyes since she was always so sickly perky and it was so annoying.

"Thank you Fairy Godmother" Ben said getting a hold of the microphone when Fairy Godmother passed it to him. "What's up Auradon!" he shouted and his people cheered. "Thank you, thank you so much for coming out to welcome our new arrivals, they'll be here soon...it worked out pretty well for the first four" he smiled before he turned to Mal. "Mal...this is the exact we first met not so long ago, I feel like I've known you my whole life" Ben said staring adoringly in Mal's eyes and my eyes narrowed on why this was so public, Harry and I never did anything couplely in public especially since dating on the Isle was barely a thing and neither of us wanted to show our weakness like that. "But did I mention...that I'm in love with you?" everyone awed before music started playing and Ben began to sing.

"I met this girl that rocked my world like it's never been rocked and now I'm living just for her and I won't ever stop I never thought that it could happen to a guy like me but now look at what you've done you got me down on one knee" my eyes widened in shock when Ben knelt down on one knee...he was purposing to Mal!

"Mal it's you and me, it's you and me forever...will you marry me?" he opened up a ring box and the cameras all zoomed in on the ring, a huge purple gem...the things gotta be worth a fortune and could probably feed this whole island...I scoffed and glared at the scene since it was so sick especially since they made us watch this crap when we lived like this with nothing. "Will you be my Queen?"

"No!" a voice could be heard yelling and I couldn't help laugh since it seemed at least someone over there didn't like this as much as we all did since we were all glaring at the scene.

"Yes!" Mal exclaimed getting over her shock and everyone erupted into cheers as Ben stood and slid the ring onto Mal's left ring finger.

"Argh" I picked up some of the fish from Harry's tray and threw it at the TV managing to hit the off button.
