Can't let you go

Chapter 12: Helping Her

As both Princess and Lisa make their way out to the carriage Jimmy starts laughing. Jungkook looks at him with a questioning look.  Jimmy just shakes his head and says,

"You could have complimented her you know. She looks good."

"Do you like her?" Jungkook asks Jimmy with all seriousness

Jimmy stops laughing and smiles at him,

"What if I said I do like her? What will you do?"

Jungkook looks at him and doesn't answers him.

Jimmy chuckles a bit and says,

"I am going to escort the princess there. Apparently I have to stay there because crown prince is worried about her safety, especially when she will be between all types of men. Sometimes I wonder if they are really step siblings. You wanna join?"

"Nah I will pass. I have some work to do."

"Okay then I will be leaving."

Jimmy leaves oblivious to a thinking Jungkook. He then gets on the carriage with princess and Lisa. 

LISA'S POV:

We reach the venue and head inside. I can sense the eyes of others on us. Well, staying with princess for long I have got used to it. 

Princess then joins with her partner while I head towards the stage where the council was gathered. A last check is never wrong. I give necessary instructions and return to the dancing area. I feel bored. Princess is nowhere to be found and I am alone.

Suddenly I see a hand in front of me. I look up and see Prince Morocco. Isn't he the prince of neighboring kingdom?

"Miss Lisa would you like to have a dance with me?"

I don't really want to to be honest. Still, I cannot reject a prince in front of so many people. It will cause unnecessary trouble. I just nod my head and place my hand in his.

We dance for two songs and then I excuse myself for the announcements. He didn't do anything wrong and was quite gentlemanly, but I don't know why, he gives a wrong aura. I am pulled out of my thoughts when someone hugs me from behind. It is the princess.

"Oh my gorgeous Lisa. They will now announce homecoming queen. I bet my fortune that it is you."

She seems drunk. Why is she alone?

"Princess why are you alone? Where is your partner? And why are you drunk?

"Queenie, you ask too much questions. I left that French somewhere, I lost interest in him, he is not the one I want. And about being drunk, I am just sad, sad he is not the one to partner with me."

He? He who? Is it the one she likes? I was about to ask about it when suddenly the announcement starts.

"Good evening everyone----"

They are going to announce the homecoming queen and king. To be honest, I never understood the meaning behind this ritual. Useless. I look to my right and see Prince Morocco looking at me. He didn't remove his eyes even though I caught him staring at me. I just look away.

"So the homecoming queen is------ our queenie, Lisa!!"

Hearing my name I look towards the stage.

"Yayyy Queenie, I told you, you won"

Princess is literally jumping and clapping right now. She is drunk.

I go up and get the tiara and bouquet, give a short speech and come down. On coming down I don't see the Princess. Where is she now? She is drunk and it is dangerous for her to be alone. I keep my tiara and flowers on a table and run around the hall finding Princess.

She is not here, should I check outside? I run outside and try to find her. All the students have come outside now, it is more difficult to find her. I then suddenly see Sir Jimmy holding someone. I approach him and see Princess Rose in his arms. They were talking about something. I know it is wrong to listen but I am curious.

"Princess you know this is wrong right?"

"I don't care. I can't control how I feel."

I don't think I should listen more. I turn around and start walking. What were they talking about? Is it related to the person Princess likes? I was cut from my though train when someone pulled me. 

Someone is pulling me. I try to pull my arm but this person is too strong. He pulls me in a deserted place and slams me against a wall. I look up to see his face but it is too hard to see in the dim lighted place.

The person suddenly pulls on my clothes and start sucking my neck. I kick him in the shin. He falters a bit and I take that chance to pull away.

"Help!! Someone!!"

But he grips my hair and again slam me against the wall. He is now holding my mouth, preventing me to speak and at the same time his other hand is roaming around on my body.

My eyes are filled with tears threatening to fall. I keep on struggling but it doesn't help at all. I feel disgusted by the touch. There is no one in this alley. This the end. I am going to be raped and then killed.

JUNGKOOK'S POV:

After Jimmy left for some reason I couldn't concentrate on my work. This is frustrating. I think I should go out for a ride. I get on a carriage and head out.

Without realizing myself I decided to come to their party venue. Maybe I will feel good after talking with people. I get out and see students scattered around in the street area. Is the party over?

I pass by a group of male students and hear them say,

"Hey, where is Morocco? I saw him dancing with Queenie. That lucky bastard. She looked extremely beautiful today."

I stop near them on hearing the word queenie. Isn't it Lisa's nickname?

"Yeah. That guy is really gutsy. I can never have the courage to ask the goddess herself."

"He kinda gives me scary vibes though. He has his eyes on Lisa since he came to this school. He has got rejected many times by her. He still keeps on following her. I heard him saying he will make her his tonight. What does he think of himself? She will never give her a chance."

Then they all start laughing. I think I should find Lisa. If this guy is following her, it may be dangerous.

I then roam around in the street trying to find her. I then turn in an alley with no one. She will not be here I suppose. I turn around to leave when suddenly and turn back and decide to check nevertheless. My gut feeling tells me to check here.

I walk forward and hear low muffling voices. I turn in the direction of the voices and find Lisa there. A man was trapping her in between him and the wall, his hand holding her mouth, kissing her neck while she is struggling.

Without thinking much I go and punch the guy. He falls down and I start kicking him. How dare he, how dare he touch whats mine.
