"Well it's about time you come back to work." Stella says as I pull on my shirt.
I think of the right thing to say.
"Yeah I've been busy lately." I reply.
"Yeah busy streaking and partying." she laughs.
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"You don't remember? Oh yeah you were drunk." she says more to herself than me.
"Well you let a girl strip you naked on a table and then you started a streaking train." she explains.
"I can't believe I have no memory of this." I say.
"Sometimes that comes in handy." she replies leaving the dressing room.
I pull on my pants and walk towards the vinyl section to begin stacking them. Most of the artists are new to me. Then again, my family is to poor to afford at least one of these vinyls.
My family. My family. I completely forgot about them. They're probably starving because of me. I haven't brought them the pounds for them to buy anything.
You're so stupid Ashton.
I need to get home and help them. Mom probably has one of the girls doing my half of the chores. Poor things.
I never expected to be gone so long. I never meant to meet the love of my life, Luke. I never meant to lose my virginity. And all of this, was because of the one place that brings us together, The Prince's Birthday.

"Ashton quick! Come here." Stella yells.
I run a fast as I can to her location thinking it's something urgent.
"What?" I ask panting.
"You know that boy you've been with?" She asks.
"Yeah, Luke?"
"Yeah well he's the Kings son." she replies.
"And apparently he has a leaked sex tape."
My cheeks get hot and I already know I'm blushing.
"But get this, it's with that bitch Alice."
And that is the last thing I hear before everything is dark.

I awaken in the comforts of a bed and shining sun.
"Ashton you're awake!" Stella says excitedley.
"Yeah I guess I am. What's going on?" I ask.
"Your in the medical refinery you blacked out." she explains.
"Oh," I say.
"Can you get the nurse?"
"Sure." she replies.
She walks out of the room and I sit alone surrounded by four gray walls and one window.
She walks in seconds later flanked by a nurse.
"Hi Ashton, I'm Leigh and I'm here to explain." she says.
"Well we've no idea of who your parents are and well the price of your medical bill is high. So unfortunately your under the King's control until you can pay for it. I'm sorry Ashton. This wasn't my choice." she says leaving the room quickly.
Stella and I sit quietly. I stifle a sob and then decide there's no point, I cry, leaving tears all over the pillow.
First Luke and Alice's tape and now this. I belong to the dude who should most want to kill me. Great. My life is completely done for.
I stand from the bed and Stella looks at me confused.
"I have to get out of here." I say, my voice cracking.
"Fuckb-Ashton you can't just leave you'll be put in the dungeon if you're caught." she says.
"Well that's a risk I'm willing to take." I explain walking out of the small room.
I sprint down the hall avoiding the sound of voices and shoes. I run around the corner of the hallway and into a women carrying a beverage. The drink spills all over her and I panic. I run away and she begins to yell. Nurses approach us quickly from all directons.
"Ashton calm down." Leigh says.
"No." I say a single tear drips down my cheek.
"Ashton, we don't want to hurt you." she explains.
"Yeah but you have no problem in letting the king do it." I say.
"Ashton just calm down, you're over reacting." one of the other nurses says.
"No! I'm not coming with you!" I say sharply.
"Yes you are." one of the nurses shouts leaping towards me.
I dodge her but run into a different nurse. She grabs my arm and one of her buddies helps. They carry me to the room as I flail and scream and tie me to the bed.
"You people are fucking insane!" I scream.
"Oh shut up Ashton. The King is on his way." A different nurse says.
"Fuck." I mutter.
The nurses leave the room and once again, I sit in a room alone.

"Ashton Irwin," the King chuckles.
"I've heard nothing about you." he says.
I say nothing. I don't even bother looking in his direction.
"Not going to talk? That's fine I enjoy talking." he says.
"Well a birdie has told me you've been running around with my son. Is that true Mr Irwin?" He asks.
I give him no satisfaction.
"Untie him and bring him to the chariot." The king says.
Two guards untie me and drag me to the chariot. They strap me to the seat and sit on either side of me. The king sits in front of us.
"Okay Ashton if you don't speak to me about where my son is that means you're holding information. Which means if I find him without your help you are to be executed." he explains.
I stare out the window. He slams his hand on the door grabbing hold of my attention for a split second. I turn my head back and continue to ignore him. The frustration makes me want to laugh but I simply cannot because that would be acknowledging his existence, which I refuse to do.
"When we get to the castle make sure a noose gets hung." the king says.
I gulp at his words. That noose is meant for me and I'm to young to die. Heck I haven't had a second round of sex with Luke. I was planning on giving him at least one blow job in my lifetime. Or at least being able to tease him.
Here I am thinking these dirty thoughts right in front of his very powerful faher. Ha, so dumbfounded.
•
We arrive at the castle and the guards pull me out. They take me down the stairs and into a room I'm guessing is the dungeon. I am thrown into a cell covered with blood. I fall roughly to the ground and the cement scrapes my knee.
This is not where I want to die.

So this is the update. I'm trying to make them long since the stories coming to an end. I really didn't expect it to end so soon. Sorry I'll add fillers though to make it longer.
