Love Torn

Chapter 2: Audrey's Departure

Audrey's brown curls flow around her face as her brown eyes focus on the newly remodeled Pier's floor. She sits on a wooden crate beside the Schooner ship as several strange animals in human-like form start preparing for the voyage.

Beyond the busy scene in front of her, there are three fairies in the colors: red, green, and blue. They are talking to a cat-like woman in a blue caption outfit. Each is talking aggressively with the Captin about the plans for Audrey's new life.

The exiled Princess doesn't acknowledge anyone's presence on the wooden Pire. Instead, she begins to imagine everyone's reaction to hearing about her departure.

Jane, the daughter of Ella's fairy Godmother, would probably be too busy to realize that her best friend is gone. Typical for the straight-A student in her class, Jane always had her mind on the Auradon Preps or that wimp of a guy; what was his name- Farkle?

Lonnie, the daughter of Mulan, would be sad. But she would work out her emotions by playing Swords and Shields at Auradon Prep with that other V.K. Jack?!?

Audrey surges her shoulder to readjust her muscles before continuing with her daydream.

Ben, the love of my life, he- what does it matter?

None of them came to ask how she was doing after those wreckage kids went off the island of the lost.

And when she received the wedding invitation, no one showed up to comfort Aubrey as she cried herself to sleep.

She knew Ben wouldn't come because he was obsessed with his fiancé.

Plus, she didn't want him anywhere near her after witnessing him cheating on her at the pep rally.

Jane and Lonnie, daughters of Fairy Godmother, and Mulan both knew how much Ben meant to her. So it was strange to see them not concerned for her feelings. Maybe it's because she pretended to be okay around the two.

Still, what hurt the most was seeing her best friend Jane's cursive penmanship on the invite and Lonnie giving her the invitation with a carefree smile on her face.

All of them betrayed her. Except for one, Charming.

Charming Jr., the son of Ella. Oh my goodness, that boy! He will be devastated after receiving the letter she wrote for him last night.

At this moment, Lonnie would be practicing with that so-called son of Jafar. Jane would be preparing for the wedding with that fashion villain kid. And Chad: he couldn't come because his parents grounded him for failing his latest history test.

Audrey couldn't blame him for not being there tonight. But her so-called friends: had already moved on.

"My goodness, Princess! Last night, you said that you don't resemble your mother. Well, I can prove to you right now that you're wrong! You look like your mother did when she arrived at the castle on her 16th birthday. Devastated and heartbroken!"

A spunky short fairy in a blue gown, a blue witch hat, and a blue cape clipped with a blue circle states in a sarcastic tone.

Audrey's right hand goes into the depths of her sky-blue silk gown robes before looking at her favorite fairy, Maryweather.

A small smile appears on her voluminous lips as Princess Aurdrey replies, "Mary, I don't know how my mother will recover from the news of my exile! She'd be devastated, and I cannot-"

Maryweather shushes Audrey from her rant before putting her hands on the princess' shoulders. A bittersweet smile forms upon her round face as she holds her left hand in a shushing manner over her thin lips.
