Chapter 1: Change In Plans

My heart was racing a thousand miles a minutes, my hands were slipping and I knew that I wouldn't be able to hang on much longer. Being outside on the edge of this balcony, hanging, as my hands were beyond sweaty I held on for dear life. How can I go about this?

I only got in this mess because Kairi wanted me to attend along her side to this stupid conference. Who expected for this situation to happen? I didn't even want to go in the first place but its always, Nami come do this or Nami go do that. Never about what I want, and I'm sick of it. Maybe I should let go and fall but I can't force myself to do so. If I do that then I might not get to see him again.

Sure, he kicked me out for the sake of his situation, but having me hang from the balcony is ridiculous! Reality is: this should definitely be the other way around considering I'm the woman! What do I even see in him? He's cocky, an ass and let me tell yah, he definitely doesn't know how to treat a woman right. It's always about him!

Although, his golden eyes tell the story that is hidden from others, since I'm artist I'm meant to look at this with a different perspective. I noticed that deep within he needs support, that he needs someone there for him. All his life no one was there but it doesn't help when he pushes them away either. Although, he has chased after me, so does that mean he really cares, but then all he does is insult me afterwards! My head is so conflicted, he just messes with it beyond intended.

Shaking my head from the thoughts in my mind, I could feel my arms growing weaker and weaker by the second. Not to mention the ache in my muscles grow throughout all the way to my fingertips. "...I.....can't..." With all the gripping that I had it wasn't enough only causing one of my hands to let go. My other arm isn't strong by itself, considering that I'm not much of the athletic type. "This is it.."

Having the fear grow within my chest, it soon happened. My other hand slid off the top of the balcony, but using my fast reflexes I caught the bottom of the railing. Who says I can give up now? It won't be much longer.

"Help!" I called out only to be answered by no one. Minutes kept ticking by and my arms were only growing weaker, I'm not the athletic type. These limp noodles that I call arms are unacceptable!

Please someone just save me, I can't die now! I never got to tell him how I felt, if I had the last chance to do it I would! It's not like he would return the feelings considering he was a Prince and all. How could he even fall for a 'commoner' as they say, just in the wrong place at the wrong time is all. Maybe I should give up in this chase, considering there isn't a chance for me anyways. Not to mention he is suppose to marry another, knowing him he probably loves her; she seems more of his type anyways.

Being cut short from my thoughts once again, I completely lost grip of both hands and started to plummet toward the ground. Soon as if the fear was gone my chest was only placed with relief. Like it was meant to happen. It could be seconds now before I hit the concrete below in a gruesome death. Closing my eyes, I awaited for the impact. Millions of images and thoughts went through my brain and skull, like all the times I shared with him. With each one that passed through made me think that I had a good run while it lasted.

Within moments, I didn't feel the ground but only felt a presence of another, I was so wrapped up into my thoughts I never realized it. Once I opened my eyes, there was a face in front of mine only inches apart. Seeing the one and only, I blushed causing my cheeks to turned a light shade of pink making my face turn away and notice that he held my body in his arms, bridal style. As if my heart wasn't pounding enough already!

"Come on now, did you honestly think that I could send you to your untimely demise? You're still as dumbfounded as I thought." The man shook his raven-haired head and chuckled slightly. "Next time keep it quiet or it will be... and stop staring at me, your face is as red as a cherry." He placed me down and turned his gaze the other way as well. "Be careful next time." The man turned and started walking away only leaving me with the gaze on his back.

"Wait! That's it? You caused me to fall and you're not even going to apologize?!" I huffed and gained my posture to return a curtsy to him, cause for a moment I forget he was higher ranked then me. "Thank you, for saving my life though." With the last word spoken, I turned the other way to leave. "What did I ever see in you...?" The last sentence came out softly but louder than intended.

"What?" Hearing my words he turned around and stared, only to be greeted by my back. "Wait!" He rushed over, grabbing my shoulders to look upon my face. His face was shown with concern and sincere feelings, before turning to his natural hard look. "I should apologize? You must be mistaken for it was you who was in my room, it's not my fault that you're the clumsy type! Not only that your obnoxious voice almost disrupted my important meeting! If a commoner as yourself was found in such high quarters you wouldn't have to be fearing that fall. Now leave you are disturbing my presence, and I said before, caution yourself, Miss Naminé." His voice rose and every word came out harsher than before. His look was strict and seemed like he was shooting daggers with his eyes.

He was speaking so formal and for a while he never has toward me. Hearing his harsh words put tears on the edges of my eyes, making my gaze fall to the ground. "Cl-clumsy!? If you didn't push me from the room maybe I wouldn't have fallen! It really shows how much you care! Excuse me, but I must be going! This is not a place I don't belong in." As the last word came off my tongue I turned and ran off, leaving the prince in his in place. On the way out, I paid no mind to the men walking past me toward him.

I don't know how many times I've heard his insults.. but for him not to apologize for the accident that he caused really kills me! Why should I be the one to say sorry first...?

I couldn't tell where I was going due to my blurry vision and having to wipe my eyes.

I've never felt this way, why am I crying so much?... this can't be possible. I know what my heart is telling me but my mind is telling me different. It's not right. We can't be together I should know that.

"Naminé!" A familiar voice spoke from behind. "Watch out!" Before I could even look up something hit my side and I was knocked over onto the ground below. Feeling the motion of whatever took me down continued to keep going until there was nothing left of it. My head was in pain and my body felt shattered. Before the end of the accident I faded into unconsciousness.
