A Royal In the Making

Chapter Ten: Downfall

Hey guys! I wrote a little bit yesterday but I realized I hadn't updated the book when I went to bed at like 11p. I had already planned on updating with two chapters because I didn't want to be mean. So I will post this chapter and then the next one will follow soon after! Read the TW, please! It's important!-expressionwriter

Charles Point of View: 

****TW-attempted suicide also language. Don't mean to spoil but felt like I needed this warning before.-expressionwriter

No one has heard from Aurora since her date with Frederik. They walked through town and then something happened. Frederik is clueless as always. He can't even think of what could have changed Aurora so much.

I feared for her. With her isolation, she can't get better. She doesn't realize how much she needs her family or even her boyfriends. I wanted to be there for her more than anything.

The problem was getting to her. Aurora's security had doubled. No one could get near her. Even texting and calling her was pointless because it went to voicemail with every attempt. Joe and the Queen had no idea what was going on either. Aurora had completely shut down and cut all ties.

We stood outside her balcony with the guards staring us down. Gathering as one force to show Aurora that we were there for her was the only thing we could think to do. It failed though.

I tried thinking of what could break her. My mind was coming up with a blank. She is such a strong person and has done so much in terms of sacrificing her life for everybody.

I felt so anxious and uneasy so I left my room for the gym to work out my problems. Two of the other princes were there but we didn't chat at all. There was a lot of tension between us.

After my workout, I showered and changed clothes. Settling down for the night I turned on the television and browsed around my phone. It was then I saw I had a missed call as well as a voicemail. They were both from Aurora. I jumped up in surprise then played the message.

"Hi, Charles. I-I don't know what to really say right now. I know I haven't been in the best state of mind for a while. Life has been so hard lately. There is so much I am expected to do. I've been trying to choose and I just can't. I don't want the same mistakes to be repeated again. I can't handle this life anymore. I really tried Charles. If only you knew how much. Apart of me believes we could've been happy together but I'm not meant for this. Being a Princess or Queen isn't me. I'm too ordinary and weak. I really am sorry Charles. What happened isn't your fault please remember that but I have to go. I have to move on and there's only one way I know how to escape this torment that is called my life. Goodbye Charles. I hope you find peace and love in ways I could not give you. Bye."

No! No! No!

I ran out of the castle as fast as I could praying that I wasn't too late. I called the emergency services directing them towards the castle as the worst thing possible happened. Nobody was going to stop me from saving her!

Not Joe nor the whole Para Army because Aurora needed me! Joe yelled at me but I pulled him with me. I knew I was going to need all the help I could get.

Aurora was barely breathing when I found her in her locked closet. I told Joe that help was already on its way. Within a few minutes, they were coming into the room to help her as much as they could.

I refused to leave her side. They placed her on the gurney to take her to the hospital. Joe was going to inform the Queen and meet us at the hospital.

When we arrived they took Aurora to the private floor blocking access to it. I was in tears because I couldn't lose her. She was the love of my life and I couldn't bear the thought of her not being in it.
