Collide

Chapter 10

I believed Mary to be angry with me. Just the way she looked at me when I kissed her hand, she did not blush, or smile with that brisk tuff smile that is full of heart.
She is probably angry with me for all of the things I said, she most likely now believed me to be too much of a harsh person, and if she doesn't like me for that, how could I marry her? That's who I am.

I entered our long driveway the gates open wing for us.
I followed the car in front of me to the top of the driveway and my parents exited their car and I did also, following them inside.

I walked behind them up the long marble steps and sometimes I hated being a prince.
At any moment you could be crowned king, whenever your parents are pleased with the thought, or if they both die unexpectedly.

We entered our large doors and they walked to the dining room.

" You did great son!" My father exclaimed.

My mother gave him a questioning look but then smiled at me, not exactly meaning to agree with my father.

" Yes, Matthew." My mother said and I laid a hand on her shoulder and kissed the top of her head.

" I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mom." I whispered and my father sighed and I bowed slightly to my father and exited.

My father followed me outside and he took my arm. " Son, I believe Noléa should be forgiven at some point." He said and I furrowed my brows.

" Forgiven?" I asked and I shook my head in shock. " Dad, after what they did?" I said and he sighed.

" Most people don't know the whole story, they don't know all of the things that, horrid man, and his sorry wife have done. And I believe it should remain that way. You shouldn't be so ruthless, son. It unappealing." He said patting my back with an 'atta go boy.' Smile.

I gave him a disapproving look and walked to my car. The thought he could just forgive him. Forgive them.

The thought that Mary doesn't even know at all what her parents did.
I drove like a maniac, over the speed limit and just, ruthless.

I clenched the steering wheel. As if it would run from my hands.
If they were ruthless I didn't want to be.
I drive into Noléa and entered the castle gates.

Hey were all exiting their cars and they stared at my car, confused.
I exited and the king pushed his son behind him and the mother did the same for Mary.

" I'm not ruthless." I said explain myself. " I'm not like you, and I'm sorry I can't forgive you. What you did," I stared at Mary. " I don't want to talk about this in front of them." I said and the mother instructed hem inside.

Mary stared at me, with a look that crushed me. She was upset with me, I knew it. Angry with me. But if she couldn't understand, I wouldn't let t bother me, she has to understand.

" The thought of me forgiving you is almost, foreign. What you did was ruthless. I'm not ruthless." I said and he crossed his arms.

" Wait, what exactly did we do?" He said in a baby tone.

" Hush, Richard." His wife said pulling at his arm.

" No, son, tell me." He said angrily I stepped forward, defeating him in size.

" You killed my brother." I said and he shook his head.

" No a solider did." He corrected and I clenched my fist.

" You had a solider kill him." I said and he shrugged. " why?" I asked and he remains silent. " Tell me why!" I yelled and he put a finger against his lips, and hushed me.
