My Ride Or Die

Chapter 23

Khalil POV
"She's doing this to herself. Im done trying to help her." Anisa says frustrated as Rupert shakes his head.

"I just dont understand how she could go back to that monster." He says

I had just returned to the castle and told Rupert and Anisa what happened and what I saw.

"So she's with him right now?" Anisa asks

"Yea. Last time I saw them, they were at that cafe by the old factory." I state.

"Im going to give her a piece of my mind." Anisa says grabbing her coat and attempting to walk past Rupert but he grabs her by the waist and pulls her back.

"Im pretty sure you gave her more than a piece of your mind last time and besides..she wont listen. We all tried. Now she just has to make her own mistakes and learn from them." Rupert explains looking at both of us.

~1 month later~

"Yo Im so tired of all of this." Rupert groans

"For real. My feet hurt." I say looking down at my uncomfortable uniform shoes.

We were at one of these royal balls and we were escorting the Queen and Anisa there as their protection. The balls been going on for 3 hours now and counting and we're still here just standing at the top of the stairs and watching all of the Queen and Anisa's moves.

"You heard from Brice?" Rupert asks and my fist clench at the mention of her name.

"Nah. She was out of the castle before I was even up."

"Man I dont know whats wrong with her and how is this guy not in jail yet."

"They dont have proof it was him but I know it was him."

"How are you so sure?"

I look at Rupert, "I just know. Its like a gut feeling."

He nods slowly.

Brice POV
I laugh hysterically as the smoke moves around the room.

"Oh my gosh we are so fucking high." I laugh and Claire joins in.

"Here try this." She gets off her new boyfriends lap and puts a different blunt in my mouth.

"Aye becareful with what you giving my baby." Don holds my waiste tight as I sit on his lap.

"Oh hush up." Claire snaps jokingly.

"Ughh this is so good." I lean into Don as Claire goes back over to her boyfriend Mason.

"Baby I think you've had enough." Don says before picking up his beer.

I snatch it out of his hand and chug some before he takes it back, chuckling.

I pull out my phone and groan.

"Shit I have to go."

"Aww nah baby." Don hugs me tighter as he nuzzles his nose into my neck as I giggle.

"Babe I Promised the Queen Id attend this Royal whatever." I hold his cheek.

"You dont have to go."

"I do if I dont want her to tell my parents anything."

"Fine." He pouts and I get up and out stretch my hand so he can take it.

"Bye Claire, bye Mason." I wave as we walk past them.

"Call me later girl!" Claire says and I nod.

Don walks me to his front door and I give him a kiss.

"Call me later too."

I nod smiling before kissing him again. I hear snaps in the distance and Don groans; pulling away from the kiss.

"We got company again." He mumbles and I look at the paps standing behind trees.

"Sorry. Ill call you later." I say and he nods as I walk down his steps and get into my car before pulling out of his block and driving away.

Im so happy Don taught me how to drive. I went for my test and got an American license and and a brittish license. Everyone thinks hes gonna break my heart or upset me or even hurt me physically. So what he does drugs, so does Khalil. I dont see why one is more dangerous than the other. Don has been nothing but good to me.

I walk into the ball with my dark hair pinned up and my yellow ball gown gliding on the floor as I walked. I spot the Queen and tap her. She turns around and looks at me in relief.

"Thank goodness you're here. I thought you forgot." She says hugging me briefly.

"Nope. Traffic was just hectic and it was hard fitting in the car with this big dress." I smile lightly as she chuckles.

"Ok go mingle and dance with a few princes."

I look at her confused, "why?"

"So that you can get to know more people." She says but something about how she said it made me feel uneasy.

"Oh ok." I walk off to the side.

I see Khalil and Rupert standing at the top of the stairs, just watchingg everything. Khalil's eyes some how find mine and we just stare at each other for what felt like forever. Finally, he chose to turn away.

My heart fluttered a bit and I sort of missed his gaze on me. My thoughts were interrupted by a tap on my shoulder.

"Um excuse me Miss...but would you do me the honor of this dance." A man with a crown on his head asks bowing.

Oh boy..a prince. Note my sarcasm please. Ive met many Prince's in my day and they're all douche bags.

But none the less, I put a smile on my face and said, "Of course."

He guides me onto the dance floor and holds me the way Khalil did the first time we danced. His hands dont feel the same way Khalis did. His felt all wrong. Wait why am I thinking like this. I have a loving boyfriend. Don.

"So tell me. Are you a princess?" He asks

"No. Im from the US. Im the presidents daughter."

"Woah. You look very beautiful. "

"Were you expecting me to be ugly or something?" I ask rudely

"U-uh no its just that there were rumors that-"

"That I was a prissy spoiled and ugly little bratt who did everything her daddy told her to do." I finish

"Y-yea. There were even rumors you slept with your dad."

"What!" I pull away and look at him.

He looks around to make sure that people werent paying attention to us but I could care less.

"Its ok I know its n- oh my gosh. Um Miss, your nose is bleeding."

I look at him confused and I touch my nose before looking at my hand to see blood. A lot of it.

"Oh my gosh." I hold my nose and push through the crowd as I find a bathroom and burst into a stall.

I bend over a toilet as I grab a bunch of tissues and pinch my nose. It was coming out faster and it was all over me and on the toilet. No matter how much tissue Id take, it would be full of blood within a minute.

I hear the door burst open and the Queen rushes in.

"Oh goodness Brice." She says as she helps me pinch my nose.

"I dont know why its coming out so much. It wont stop. Ive never had a nose bleed in my life." I say quickly and in panic.

"Calm down ok sweetie. Just stay calm. It will stop. Now count with me." She switches the tissue and drops the old bloody one into the toilet as tears go down my cheeks.

"One, two, three.."

I count with her as we stand there in a bloody stall.
