Hey, Princess (Louis Tomlinson Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12

I'm pathetic. I truly am. After everything that has happened last night and this morning, I am unbelievably pathetic. If you looked up pathetic in the dictionary, my face would be under the word.

I raced back home after I ran away from Louis last night. I just don't understand why a boy like Louis would like me. It doesn't make sense. When I first met him, I thought he was a pedophile, yet he has a crush on me now. Me leaving Louis is just half of the reason that I am pathetic. The other reason is what I did this morning. I made sure to get to work extra early this morning to talk to Richard.

I managed to convince him that One Direction needed a new tour guide. Richard was confused at first, but then I think he assumed that I was turning into a fangirl. I didn't deny it either. It would be better for Richard to think that instead of the truth. The good news is, it worked and I'm back to working as Rapunzel.

Zayn has been trying to call me all day. Thirty seven missed calls in just ten hours. I think that is the most calls I have ever had by one person before. I know I should answer Zayn. I just can't bring myself to do so. As soon as I answer, Zayn will immediately start talking about last night and I'm not ready for that.

My mom made me promise that I would give love a chance, but it's hard to break old habits. How could it be possible that Louis Tomlinson from One Direction has a crush on me? It would never work. He travels around the world doing tours, and I'll be here making money for my mom. I'm protecting myself from a relationship that would never work.

"Looks like you already have a line formed for you, Rapunzel." James whispers to me as we make our way through the back pathway of the castle.

"So it seems." I mumble, admiring the medium length line in front of me.

James and I pass by the line, and a few little girls look up at me with wide eyes. I wave at the them while following James. He unclips the chain fence, allowing me to step through. I walk up the lamp to my position. James lets the first person in line through.

A little girl about the age of nine skips up to me, wearing a purple dress that resembles my own. Her blonde hair is even braided like Rapunzel's is in the movie Tangled. She is like a miniature version of me. I crouch down to her level, and see her smile get even wider.

I place my hand over my heart. "You look so pretty today, princess."

"I was trying to look like you." She giggles, holding out an autograph book and a pen.

"Well, you look much cuter than I do." I take the items in my hands. "What's your name, princess?"

"Sarah."

I quickly sign Rapunzel's name. "There you go. Let's take a picture." I pull her close, and smile at her mom taking a picture.

"Thank you so much!" Sarah hugs me before following her mom.

The line goes by quickly, and before I know it, the last two people in line are here. Two girls around the age of seventeen. The girl with long dark brown hair practically skips over to me. The other girl, who is much taller than her friend, smiles shyly at me. Her hair is an auburn colour and rests on her shoulders.

"You two must be best friends." I greet them. "You remind me of my best friend, Pascal. Have you seen him anywhere? We were playing hide and seek earlier." I place my hands on my hips, while pretending to look for him. "Oh, Pascal!" I call out.

"He has gotten better at that game?" The brunette states, grinning.

"Oh, yes! I think Eugene is teaching Pascal his sneaky ways." I giggle with the two girls. "I completely forgot. What are your names?"
