The яσуαℓѕ run away

Chapter 1 - I don't want to marry him!

Melanie POV
"No!" "I already said no!" I shout really loud. "Darling I know you don't but you must." "It's the only way to save this kingdom!" My dad shouts back. "UGH! You don't understand we're just friends!" I yell once more before I storm out of the room. I go to my bedroom and slam the door. I hear my dad swear and collapse onto the bed. After a while of making out with my pillow and hear a knock. I roll over and sigh. "Dad leave me alone." I try to say politely. Not really. "Melanie it's me," a familiar, deep voice says. "Come in Zac," I respond sitting up from my bed. The door opens and Zac comes in. He comes over to me and sits next to me. There's than an awkward silence. "So what's up?" He asks breaking the silence. "I'm guessing you heard everything?" I ask awkwardly. He nods. "But I'm not hurt I know what you mean." I give him a confused look. He slightly laughs. "I know that you don't want to marry me because we're friends-" "and that's that," I say cutting him off. He smiles looking at me. He has a cute smile. I smile back. He medium brown hair looks black since it's late. "Are you done?" He asks after I realize I was staring at him. I blush and turn away. "Shut up," I say hoping he can't see right through me. I hear the bed creek and look back to see he got up. I get up too and he looks outside. Merlinedele is small and hidden which is hard to believe that Zac found this place. A rich prince looking for true love and turns out he found true friendship. I guess. "You know I have an idea." Zac says randomly. "Yeah?"I respond back. "What if we ran away?" I stand still. I don't move a muscle. Nothing. I, speechless. I cross my arms. "What?" I say my tone changing. "Yeah. We could you know, discover the world together," he says with ease. As if it wasn't crazy. "Dude what?" "Are you out of your mind!?" I yell getting mad. "Shh your dad will hear and I'm not supposed to be in here." I finally shut my mouth. "Look we will leave tomorrow secretly and will be back before you know it," Zac says persuasively. I bite my lip. "Look aren't you sick of being treated like you don't know how to do anything?" I think about it. I think Zac's right. But I don't know. Ugh Melanie just take risks once in your life. He's your best friend. Do it for him not you. "Fine," I say slapping my "goody goody" side across the face. "Okay, start packing I'll come in your room at 5:00 okay?" I nod and he leaves the room. This boy thinks it's so easy to get ready in he morning. Then I realize I'm running away. Can I do this? Heck yes I can.
