Taken

Chapter 24 - Last Chapter!

Yesterday had been a crazy. I mean, things lately have been crazy, really crazy.  I never thought coming to America would change who I am inside. Well it did. It changed me greatly. My old self wouldn’t have stand up to Josh, or even to Manny. Manny, well yesterday they reported to me that she was associated with Jerkins. Since she was like 15 they placed her in a juvenile home for delinquent kids.

Josh on the other hand, I had no idea about. He was so perfect in my eyes before. It had pained my heart to know that Josh had faked everything he said to me. He was the first boy I actually really fell in love in. Why did falling in love have to hurt when things didn’t work out? I loved him. I really did. He melted my heart every time I saw his face, or his dashing smile and his –Elina stop. He isn’t worth gushing over anymore. He lied to you, he tricked you, and he toyed with your feelings. Yes, he toyed with my feelings.

Jerkins, well he wasn’t really my dad. He was just some old jerk of a guy who wanted my crown because he thought that I wasn’t fit enough to rule. Well, news flash, this new Elina will rule well. I think coming here was a life changing experience, and maybe I could do Persusa a favor and keep it up to date. Like getting new sleek computers, and getting Justin Bieber posters, instead of our local band, Shepherd Oil. Or even maybe getting Justin Bieber to actually sing for our people in person and come to our country as one of his tour stops. And best of all, making Persusa a country on the map. Everyone would want to visit. I’m getting ahead of myself. However, a vision is always good.

Part of me wanted to go home. I wanted to see how Persusa was going. Most of all I wondered about my mother. Did she get even taller than she is? Is her face really wrinkly? I wonder if she thought about me. Honestly, I was caught up in everything that I didn’t think of her at all. Maybe I didn’t think of her at all because I needed a break from her and needed to get out. I needed to go out by myself and not think about everything that was going on back at home. I missed my brother Evan too. He probably missed me too. I bet he still had slick hair. I bet he still dressed to the T. I bet my brother, was still the perfect prince he was. 

I walked into the head quarters with my head held high. The head quarters looked like a fashion company. Maybe that was there disguise. I was trying to sure confidence that I was fazed by anything that just happened to me. Why? I’m awesome! Anyways, the people in the sitting desks dropped everything that they were doing to look at me. Well, in my head they did that. No one seems to care that they were in the presence of a future queen. Of course, they were always bombarded with princesses seeking help. Princesses like me who had a person trying to steal their crowns.

“Good night Princess Elina.” One of the staff said to me. I smiled and waved at them.

“Good night sir.” I said to him

“She’s the nicest of them all.” He whispered to a fellow staff member.  The other staff member nods at his comment.

I smile proudly at myself because I have been named nicest princess of them all. Being nice is what I am; it’s basically the definition of me. Well not so lately, but hey I tried to be nice, but do you see what happens when you try to be nice to be who can’t be nice back to you in return. Why wouldn’t some princesses want to be nice, after all they was saving their butts from being beaten and from getting there crown stolen from lunatics like Jerkins. I guess there was a Jerkin in each country with a princess like me.

When I seem to get happy, Josh name seem to roll back in my head like a wheel barrel. It’s a name I want to forget but I can’t. Why can’t I? I still can’t have feelings for a bastard who toyed with my feelings because someone dear him too. I mean, I’m a person. I have feelings. Did he think about how I would feel at the end? He kissed me. Way too many times, and it was all a dare, it can’t be. It couldn’t be. The way Josh looked at me; I know something might be up. I just didn’t want to believe that all that was a dare.
