I loved you in secret - walter x henry (young royals)

My boy only breaks his favourite toys

Henry

I woke up in the morning to the sound of my phone starting to ring. I was still laying in Walter's arms so I tried to slip out of his embrace without waking him up. I fumbled with my bag, looking for my phone, taking it and immediately leaving the tent as quiet as possible.

It was still pretty dark outside and the air was cold. I almost decided to go back inside the tent and grab my jacket but my ringing phone stopped that thought, making me focus again.

I quickly jogged a bit into the forest for privacy before I answered the call.

"Hello?" I probably sounded a bit confused.

"Good morning Henry", the stern voice of my father came from the other end of the phone.

"What is it?" I asked, slightly terrified of whatever is about to say now. My parents always call me without letting me know beforehand but it was unusual for them to call me before the afternoon. The last time they did this was, when they were telling me about having to change schools next year.

"We will be moving to England sooner than planned " He said, voice totally emotionless.

" What do you mean?" I started to panic slightly, scared they would take me from Hillerska earlier than they said a coyote of days ago.

"We have to start our new company in England sooner than planned so we will move there next month." He stated.

"But what about me? School still continues for a couple of months and l can't leave it in the middle of the year. That wouldn't make any sense. I need to finish the school year here." I could hear the panic in my voice and I would probably say I'm pathetic if I wasn't completely shattered by the thought of leaving the school next month. Having to leave wasn't even that bad for me personally but what made me really feel deeply sad was the thought of having to leave Walter behind.

Obviously we could try a long-distance relationship but I had no faith in that. All that would bring is the pain of missing each other the whole time and rarely having actual time together. Of course we can text and call each other but I don't believe that would work out. I already rarely have contact with my friends from my last school and they live only in Stockholm, so if Walter and I would live in different countries I think it would be almost impossible for us to keep our relationship going.

"No, we won't take you out of the school in the middle of the year. We have already paid the school fees for the whole year, we wouldn't waste our money like that just for you to change schools some time earlier." he made a short pause before he continued talking, "You will finish the year at Hillerska and then you will go to England immediately, you won't spend the summer holidays in Sweden since we won't live there anymore."

"But dad...why can't I stay in Stockholm for summer? I want to say goodbye to my friends. I won't see my friends from Stockholm again then. I could stay with grandma or even with one of my friends." I tried convincing him. I wanted at least one normal summer before I had to leave and also l had hoped I could spend my summer with Walter. I never talked to him about it but I already dreamed about us going swimming to a lake, having a picnic date together or just chilling together at each other's houses.

"No you can't do that. We won't let you live at someone else's house, we have our own. It was already embarrassing enough when you stayed at your friend's house over Christmas. His parents probably thought we can't take care of our own children."

"That's not right! His parents never thought that!"

"I don't care, you can't stay in Stockholm and that's the decision! There's no discussion about that!" He said with a loud voice. His decision sounded final and I was a bit scared he would get mad if I tried to convince him again.
