Princess (Harry Hook x Fem!Reader x Evie)

Part 11

I walk into Evie's room. She's fitting Chad's cape right now. 

Doug sits at a desk. He's been helping Evie so well with her business. 

"What about Peacock feathers? I bet you nobody's gonna have those at Cotillion."

Evie claps her hands together. "Chad. When I look at you, all I can think of is: King."

Chad gasps and Doug turns around in his chair. "And fake fur. Fake fur says it all."

"Loud and clear." I say.

Jay drops in. "Amphitheater in five." He says to Chad. Reminding him about practice.

"Why did coach make him captain instead of me? I'm obviously better." Chad, babes, your insecurities are showing. "King Chad though.. I do rather like that. You know who else would like that?"

"Who?"

"Audrey."

"She would." Chad almost starts to cry again. Never thought I'd say this, but poor Chad. That breakup really ruined him.

"Chad. Let's go."

"Yeah yeah." He starts walking away, with the cape still on. Evie pulls it off of him.

As Chad grabs his stuff he turns to us (Trying so hard that Jay doesn't see it) and wipes away his tears and whimpers. 

"Come on."

As they leave only Doug, Evie and I are over. They chuckle while I just stay silent. "Not a lot of there there."

"Someone's obviously having some trouble dealing with his breakup with Audrey."

"Yeah."

"I've been doing the numbers."

"Yeah?"

"And after we collect from all the people for their gowns, and Chad's cape..." Evie and I look at the number. 

"Oh my-"

Evie gasps. "Wow. No wonder people work. What am I gonna do with all of this money?"

I put my arm around her. "In a few years you can probably buy a castle like you've always wanted." I smile at her and she looks down at me with a smile. "If I haven't already bought you the perfect one by then ofcourse."

"That way you wouldn't need a prince." Doug states. She looks at him.

"You're right I don't." She looks at me again. "Because I have Y/n." I blush. My heartbeat starts beating faster especially when she starts to lean in. 

Doug fake coughs, reminding us he's still here too.. ruining this perfect moment. Damn it, Doug. As the moment has passed Evie and I step away from each other.

---------------- a few days later--------------

I'm sitting behind Ben, by the window. I'm sketching when there is a knock on the door. 

"Ben?" 

"Evie!" I look around and see her standing by the door. Ben stands up. "Come on in."

I put my sketchbook away and stand up too. 

"Ah Y/n you are here too, great." I see the worried expression on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"Mal has gone back to the Isle." Oh no. Ben's smile drops.

I go stand next to my brother. Evie walks towards us and hands him a note. I look at it.

"Ben.." She shows the ring he had given Mal. He crumbles up the paper. I see him start to panic. "This is my fault. I blew it." I put my hand on his back.

"It's not your fault."

"It is!" He turns away from me. "She'd been under so much pressure lately and instead of being understanding, I just went all beast on her." There is a beat of silence. "I have to go there and apologize. I have to go there and beg her to come back."

"Ben you'll never find her. You need to know the Isle and how it works, and..." My brother walks to the window. I just keep standing still, hoping to come up with a way to get Mal back here. "You have to take me with you."

"Yes!- Uhh.." He turns around and looks at Evie. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. She's my best friend." I put my hand on her shoulder. She turns around. "You have to come too. And we'll bring the boys, too, because there is a safety in numbers and none of us is really popular, around there right now."

"Thank you." My brother and I say in unison.

Evie turns back to Ben. "But let's get two things straight. You have to promise me that I won't get stuck there again."

"I promise."

"And there is no way you are gonna go there looking like that." She looks at me. "You'll need a bit of a different outfit too."
