The Royal Bodyguard

         "Yeah! I'm OK! Just a little swelling!"

        Mallory said with a forced smile despite the pains she was feeling.

       "That's not what it looks like to me! Come here!"

         Lorry said then held her wrist slightly being careful enough not to make her feel pain.

        "Hey Austin! Apologise to Mallory! No matter what happened, this was going overboard!"

       Lorry said ones they stood in front of Austin. Austin raised his head to look at them only to return to drinking his water without a word.

        "Shuush Lorry! What are you doing?! I all ready told you it doesn't hurt! Don't cause a ruckus here!"

        Mallory said trying to mediate between them seeing Lorry being furious.

      "You keep quite! And..."

     Lorry said to Mallory then looked at Austin enraged by his actions.

       "You! What do you think your doing! Apologise to her now!"

      "PAH!"

       Austin dropped his bottle on the bench suddenly and looked at us eyes full of fury.

     "Get out of here!" He said softly while trying to contain his anger.

       "Huh?! What are you saying?! We are going nowhere until to apologise to Mal!" Lorry said with the same rage.

        "Come on Lorry! I think we should just go now and leave this for another time!"

        Mallory said not wanting to fight anymore but Lorry disagreed with her and stood her ground.

        "Why do we have to do as he said?! He needs to apologise to you first before we leave!"

       "Lor---"

       Mallory started off wanting to convince her that this wasn't the moment to be stubborn only to be stopped by Ausyin before she could.

      "Get out of here! All you do is cause me trouble! Your only a gold digger! Both of you! That's all you do! We're no longer friends from now on!"

       Austin said furiously shocking the two by his outrage then walked passed them.

       "Hey, Austin!" Lorry called out without thinking. Austin stopped subconsciously to listen to her.

        The both of them facing opposite direction stood still. Lorry asked.

      "You don't really mean what you just said, right?! This is all just one big misunderstanding, right?! If this is a joke, then please stop it! It's not funny at all!"

      Lorry pleaded silently. Thinking that this was all Austin's prank.

       "What do you think?!"

       Austin said then hesitated a little before he left. The two were left standing there still in shock.

...

      "It's OK Mal! I'm sure everything will be the same way it was!"

        Lorry said trying to comfort Mallory after somehow being able to take her to her home.

       The two of them hadn't talked and were both left to wander in their minds alone.

      "Why did you do that?!" Mallory said without looking at her.

        "What are---"

        Before Lorry could say anything, Mallory turned around to face her at the door of the car.

       "Why did you continue to speak even though I told you not to?!" Mallory accused.

       "Hey! Mallory! I know your upset but this is not the time!" Lorry faked a laugh trying to settle things out.

        "You are always so stubborn! You want things to always go your way!" Mallory yelled out.

       'Please stop! Don't say anymore!' Lorry thought to herself hurried.

           "This is all your fault!"

      Mallory said the one sentence that felt like a lightning bolt to Lorry and left.

        Lorry subconsciously put her hand forward trying to stop her both it was too late.

        She looked at her palm ones more and repeated the Mallory's words.

      'This is all your fault.'

       "This is all my fault! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
