Jordan's Pov

I wake up expecting to see Mot beside me but unfortunately its Dianite. "Hey boyo." Dianite says sadly.

"Where's Mot?" I ask my voice wavering. "Calm down he's okay. Waiting for us at the court square where both of you will be given a truth serum forcing you to tell the truth. In front of anyone who chooses to listen." I don't respond to Dianite's stupid plan but decide to just go with what he wants.

When we get to the square I see what a mess Mot is. Its obvious he's been crying for a long time. When he sees me a small smile creeps across his face.

I feel myself start to tremble and break down. Mot runs to me and wraps his arms around me.

"I'm scared." I whisper to him. "Jordan look at me." Mot says pulling away from me.

I do as he wants me to. "I'd never let anything or anyone hurt you and after this I want you to forget any of this ever happened. That I ever happened." Mot says his tone serious.

"Mot pl-"

"First up is Jordan Sparklez." Andor says through a microphone.

I walk onto the platform and wait for the serum to be......

Mot's Pov

"Did you leave with Mot yesturday morning?" Andor asks and Jordan nods. "Y-yes."

"Did he ever make any advances towards you?" My heart sinks when I see Jordan start fighting the serum.

He cries out in pain amd I look over at Dianite. "Its the serum." He says harshly.

"N-" Jordan winces and is now visibly shaking.

"The more you fight it the more painful its gonna be." Andor says but Jordan won't talk.

I want to run to him. Hold him and tell him its all gonna be okay. But I know that's not an option.

"Jordan talk! Its gonna be ok!" I yell and I see Jordan nod.

"Yes." He mumbles. "What kind of advances?" Andor is glaring at me.

"H-he kissed m-me." Jordan glances at me as if to apologize. He has nothing to be sorry for this is all my fault.

"Was it forced?" Andor's whispering. I know him well enough to know he's gonna cry.

"No." The large crowd of people watching gasp. "W-what?" Andor says he and Jordan staring helplessly into each others eyes.

"HE DIDN'T FORCE ME TO DO ANYTHING!" Jordan yells causing tears to fall from Andor's eyes.

"Jordan you're done." Dianite says.

I take my place on the platform and have the truth serum injected. I give a grim smile. "L-Let's begin." Andor is trying to hold back the tears.

"Did you plan on kissing Jordan that day?"

"No." I answer its hard not to look at Jordan, I can feel his gaze on me. "Then what did you plan?!" Andor's never raised his voice at me but he has now.

"Jordan asked me if I had any secrets, I happened to have a few I was ready to share. My old base and its pretty obvious what the other was..." I let my voice trail off. Andor is clearly to shaken up to talk. Doesn't he know its okay to cry. Helgrind cried in front of the entire city without a shame.

"D-do you l-love him." Andor's whispering again. I look over at Jordan and sigh. "More than anything. Enough that I lost my god to be with him." I say looking back at Andor. I see tears start falling down Andor's pale cheeks. I know what he's about to say, so does Dianite.

I look over at still sobbing Jordan. "Andor I hope you know if you make me leave it'll hurt him more than anything else in this world could." I say in both my and Jordan's defense.

"I don't have a choice Mot! I don't want this, any of it!" Andor yells and Jordan runs up next to me.

"It was just a kiss Andor! It's not like I full on stripped him or anything."

"Like you have me?" A devious English accent says from behind Jordan and I. Tom. "What?" Andor whispers looking directly at Jordan.

"You remember when you wanted to know what happened when Jordan left you in the hospital. Well we had a moment. I thought now would be a good t-" Jordan cuts Tom off.

"Maybe if you would've spent more time with me we wouldn't be in this situation." Jordan says to Andor. I feel my heart snap what's he about to do.

"I didn't think me becoming king would cause you this much trouble Jordan! Or I wouldn't have agreed to do it." Andor says and Jordan looks over at me. "Maybe I should leave too." He says staring into my eyes.

"I don't belong here. I wouldn't have been here if it weren't for a car accident. Maybe that's saying something."

"Jordan but I thought-"

"I need to go. I'm sorry Andor." Jordan looks back at Andor. "I'm not leaving to be with him, I'm not sure I'll ever know what true love is again. I'm sorry, I really am."

Jordan's Pov

A girl shouts my name from the back of the crowd. Anne runs through everybody and throws her arms around my neck. I hug her back. "Please don't leave me." She whispers but I know what has to be done.

"You'll be okay so will everyone else. I just need time Anne." I tell her. I feel her tears soaking through my shirt. "Don't cry. I will be back eventually." I whisper. She finally pulls away, tears streaming down her face. I wipe a tear away. "I will be back." I say and leave the building.

Andor's Pov

I sob into my pillow. He kissed Mot and basically had sex with Tom!!!! What else has he not told me about? I sob harder as I think of this. "Stop crying Andor. He clearly doesn't love you enough if he let those things happen." I tell myself. I feel the bed shift signaling another persons presence.

"Andor please don't cry." Ianite's soft voice whispers. I look over at her and she's been crying too. "He said bye to me too." She finishes tears running down her porcelain cheeks. I pull her close to me and let her cry into my shoulder.

"He told me to thank you. For believing in him when nobody else did and for loving him with such a love it was unreal." Ianite whispers to me. I close my eyes and let tears fall.

"I loved him Ianite. I loved him a lot, but he played me. Its not fair!" I cry. Ianite pulls away then looks me in the eyes.

"Jordan did do you wrong Andor but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you. I saw what happened with Mot and it wasn't just a kiss, but it wasn't like anything you two ever had." Ianite pauses to wipe my tears away.

"He'll be back honey. Back here in your arms. Now get some sleep big day tomorrow." She says and starts to exit the room.

"Ianite wait!" I half yell. She turns back, "Can you stay?" I whisper and she nods. "I'll stay till you're asleep."

Ianite sits beside me in a chair. She hums a song mom used to sing to me. I fall asleep listening to Ianite hum but Jordan never leaves my tired mind.
