Denial

ch.10

"Holy Shit Em" I laughed uncontrollably.

Emily's been my best friend ever since I can remember. We bonded over our favorite color in kindergarten, ever since we've been like sisters. When I became princess, it was hard for us to adjust. We went from spending every day together, to maybe once a week and skype calls. She was from the Philippines but lived here in a flat near the palace, so when she moved It was terrible. Every time she's here I try to make it memorable.

"Oh shut it brace face" she yelled back as she knows how much I hated that nickname she's had for me ever since middle school when I had the most ridiculous wire work in my mouth.

"Hey, we should all take a picture instead of splashing water in my face like little kids" I smiled in her direction.

"Sure alright. Hey girls let's take a picture!" She collected the girls up together in the pool for a picture.
Oh gosh how I've missed being treated, normal. Like I'm just Scarlett, not Princess Scarlett.

As we posed for the picture, I put up a peace sign. When I looked at the picture after it was taken, I noticed Hanna had also put up the peace sign. I know this sounds soo dumb but I scoffed at her for it. Ever since the "moment" between her and MY body guard, I've had this weird feeling.
Talking about him, he was standing
near the slide doors eying something.... someone.

As I try to make out what he's looking at so intently, I make out that he's basically undressing Hanna with his eyes. I have to admit, she looks flawless in her blue bikini. I look down at my body and back at hers and feel immediate insecurity. Which, you may well guess, I'm not familiar with since I'm told I look good almost all of the time.

I climb out of the pool and snatch my robe from the chair I'd recently put it on.

"Hey ems, uh I'll be right back. Just need to go check on my umm, fish. Yeah that's it. My fish" I smiled and rushed as fast as I could from there and teared up while rushing to my bedroom.

Harry's Pov.

Fish? Right like I was going to believe she has a fish. As she rushed out I choose to ignore it. She's probably on her monthly cycle. As I look back at the girls, I immediately catch Hanna eye raping me. I give her a smirk and one of my most famous winks. She's so goddamn hot, I giver her that.

But for some reason, I don't feel the need to fuck her. Weird because I would of thought that I would take her to the bathroom and give her the best time of her life. I snap out of my trance and notice that Scarlett isn't back yet. I swiftly turn around and make my way to her bedroom. As I do so, I stop right in front of her bedroom to find she's talking to herself.

"Gosh what the hell is wrong with me. Pull yourself together Scarlett" she demands half heartedly. I become confused as to why she's acting this way but given an answer when her angelic voice speaks again. But his time, vulnerable.

"What was I thinking. Hanna is gorgeous. Of course every guy would drool at the sight of her. Look at me, I'm horrendous. I just need to accept the facts and from now on, I'll stop eating. Yeah, sounds good. Maybe I can loose a couple pounds" I frown at the way she talks about herself. She's her worst critic. I would think she would think of herself as the best looking out of all of her friends, but I'm madly mistaken.

I cough loudly hoping she could hear me. I hear her sniff and lift off of her bed, a couple seconds later she creaks open her door just a little.

"Uh y-yeah?" She whispers.

"Aren't you going back to your friends?You've been moping around in there long enough don't you think?" I almost instantly regret what I've just said when she gives me the most hurt look I've ever seen. She let's a tear slip but vigorously wipes it away after noticing she was crying.

"You know what your right. Since I'm a princess I can't show insecurity or emotion. Now if you excuse me, I'll be getting back to my girls" she says and slips out of her previous spot behind the door. As she's walking away, I try to make out words I usually don't say,

"Hey, I'm So-" but I'm quickly interrupted.

"Go fuck yourself Harry"
