The One Extention

Fantastic Life

Thane's POV (A/N- The video at the top inspired the ending speach)

I rushed out of the dinning room soon after Jaace did. He completely embarrassed me, and I didn't even have the courage to look at any of the girls after he left.

I went to my room. My guards, Gale and Ky, were standing outside my door with a couple of newbies. They were training them to take over their spots because they were growing older and would need someone to replace them. "No one is allowed in here." I said to them.

"Yes Prince Thane." Gale said. I walked past them into my room, and locked the door behind me. I checked to make sure there were no butlers or maids in my room before I started undressing. I took off my stuffy suit, and changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. The shorts and t-shirt I had to almost beg my father to let the maids make for me because it was un-prince-like.

I slipped out my window using the grooves that I had made as a child to get down from my second story floor bedroom. The handholds were pretty close together, but I manage.

I start towards the garden when I hear a girly giggle and someone say, "No not here. Someone will catch us." I walk around the corner to see a guard and McKenzie making out. I stomp up to them, and they both look at me horrified.

" If you say it's not what it looks like, It will make this way worse." I said sadly. I really am not a jerk. If she doesn't love me she can leave to be with the one she loves. I love her, and if the love isn't reciprocated, I still want what is best for her.

"Is this it?" She says tearing up. "I do love you. If you were wondering, I love mason as well. I can't be queen. I will never be good enough." She laughs the tears slowing. She walks away to pack her stuff because she knows she is done.

I turn to look at the guard. " Your done working here. Please pack your bags, and take care of her for me. " I turn around, and jog towards the area of my room.

I could never deny anybody their chance at finding love. McKenzie never looked that in love when she way with me. Her eyes sparkled when she was with me, but with that guard, everything about her glimmered.

I could punish her severely, but that is cruel. My mother has a thing with super old quotes and one is "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back it's yours. Of it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with (Quote by Richard Bach)." I feel the pain of letting her go, but if I force her to stay she would just hate me.

I wonder back to the garden to get in the castle. I get to my door, and Gale already has it unlocked for me because he knew I was going to sneak out. I lay on my bed after making sure the door was closed, and I cry.

It may not be manly but this day has been awful. I lost the one who I thought was the one and got embarrassed by my little brother. To think it is almost 10 o'clock. What else could happen? I take a deep breath after crying for a very short time, maybe 2 minuets if not less. I know that if I cry for too long that my eyes will get puff and take forever to depuff.

The reason I know this is from when I was younger. One day during lessons Jaace broke my pencil I'm half. I was only about six. I broke him pencil in return, so we were both crying. Sylvia told me that it was un-prince-like to cry. She sent me to the bathroom until my eyes were no longer red and puffy. After about 20 minutes I came back, and then Sylvia lectured us about the importantce of finding different solutions.

I checked my eyes in the mirror to see that I looked just fine. I called in my butler to help me get dressed back into my suit. I then went to McKenzie's bedroom to say a final goodbye to her.

I lightly tapped three times on her door. A maid opened it and let me in. McKenzie was packing a few of the dresses that had been made for her. "You would have done just fine, you know, if you had stayed to be queen." I said quietly. She slowly raised her head, and her watery eyes met mine.

"Please just be happy. Settle down with Mason that guard you were with and be happy. Have a fantastic life, and be happy. I love you." I kiss her one final time. I turn my back to leave, and never look back.
