Russian roulette || James Earl Of Wessex

| ITALY |

Isabella

It's only been less than a month after my father was crowned king. My family has been nothing but paranoid. We don't know what could happen to us.

My parents decided that they wanted to take my siblings and I somewhere else for the summer. Just to make us all feel more safe.

~~~

I was sitting in my room looking at the ceiling. I've been doing that a lot lately. Laying down, doing nothing. Just thinking. I have no one else to talk to about this. I want to talk to James. He would know what to do. Well he would know how to comfort me.

I heard a knock on my door and just by the knock I knew who it was.

"Come in Annie"

"Hey Bella,mama and papa know where we're going for the summer" my sister Anastasia said.

My body sat up.

"Really where?"

"Italy! For 2 weeks" she said happily.

"Really? Haven't been there in a few years" I said. I'm glad we're finally getting out of Russia for a while.

" I know but we leave in 3 days so start packing"

~~~

It was the next day and I've already started packing. I couldn't wait to leave. I love Russia but getting out every once in a while felt good. I was also very stressed about the threats. 

I hated to say it, but I missed James. Right now, he's been more dry than ever. I've been trying to forget about him, but I can't get that British boy out of my head. I miss him. 

The girls from school messaged me and asked about James. it felt so weird to tell them I don't think he cares anymore. tess told me he's probably just shy but I'm not too sure..

"are you done packing already?" tatiana said walking into my room. i slightly jumped at her voice. i need to start closing my door. 

"just about. i want to leave" I said. 

"I know you want too, but this is our home at the end of the day. You will have to live here for the rest of your life.."

after she said those words I almost snapped. like I said I love Russia but I want to leave. live somewhere else. this is not my dream home. 

"yeah, I guess I will.." I said putting my head down. 

tatiana sat on my bed looking up at me. 

'i know you're worried, but Mama and papa are going to sort this out, we will be safe.." she said as her hand was placed under my chin. 

tatiana had a way with words. she always made me feel safe no matter what. she always made me feel like I was being hugged even if I wasn't. she had such a calm voice that anyone would adore. i always told her she should be a singer but that was a big no for her. 

"thank you Tatiana"

~~~

it was time to leave for Italy. i was so excited. 

i sat next to my brother on the plane. i new he was excited to see all those Italian girls. my brother often hooked up with other girls every time we traveled. he was a fuck boy after all.

~~~ 

after landing in Italy we were immediately went to a small house in the middle of Italy. papa knew  a guy who was willing to get us a house to stay in for a while.  

we unpacked our stuff as we got to our rooms. i was sharing a room with Anastasia and Marie. i didn't mind sharing a room. i quite liked not being a lone for once. 

we all talked about the things we were going to do. acting like everything was fine. it was weird. for us to act like nothing was happening.

~~~

we went sightseeing all day. quite literally, everywhere I felt like I had seen all of italy by now.  

my feet were tired. my head was all sweaty and my body felt weak. 

i just wanted to curl up in my tiny bed and go to sleep.  but I knew I couldn't. i haven't been sleeping well in a while. 

i went for a shower got changed in my pajamas then laid my body down on my bed. 

"are you going to bed already?" Marie's voice asked. 

"why yes I am"

"it's only 7:30?" added annie. 

"yeah but I'm tired" I added. 

~~~

it has been a few hours and I still couldn't sleep. my sisters were sound asleep wit no problems whatsoever. 

my sweaty body sat up in my tiny bed of the corner of the room. i looked around the room to make sure no one was up. 

i slowly got out of bed and opened the door. i went downstairs and opened the back door. 

i left the house and  went to the nearest park I could find. i often went on walks when I couldn't sleep. 

i sat my ass down on the swing set and kicked my my feet. sat there thinking about how awful everything was right now. the guy I like is basically gone, my family is being threaten, what else could happen? 

as I was staring at my feet a figure stood infron of me. my head shot up and my eyes met with these dark brown eyes. 

it was boy around my age. he had blond hair and dark eyes. he was tall and slim and had his hair dangling in front of his face. 

he stayed there for a few moments before I decided to say something. 

"can I help you?" I asked him.

hey so I know most of you guys are going to HATE this chappie, and I'm so sorry but I promise i'l come out with better ones..  idk why I haven't been posting lately...i have big plans for this book I've just been lazy (I'm going to be honest) also so many of you guys want James back in this and I promise I'll bring him back!! i just need to time it right. 

(also I know I already made an announcement about this but like; to the people who always complain about certain parts of my books, I'm not going to change it to UR liking. if you don't like it, don't read it.) 

~ lots of kisses
