A Royal Love: William

Chapter three

Once we were in my bedroom and the door was closed, Matt looked at me very angry. "I was searching for you the whole night to find you in the city with a woman!?" "Why were you searching me anyways!? I'm not a child!" "I was worried! It's not like you to disappear in the night!" "Yeah, that's what you would do!" "I would never sneak out at night!" "Not yet. But you're the one worrying me, not otherwise!" "It's not my fault that you're worried about me! I never asked you to be!" "I didn't asked you either!"

"What is going on in here!?" We both look at the now open door and see our parents. "Father, we... uh... we..." I started." "We had a little argument, but it is over now. Do not worry." Matt finished. Father looks angry at Matt. "What did you do this time?" "He did not do anything, father." "Of course he did not. Like always." With that said, father walked out of my bedroom. Mother walked closer to me. "You look so tired, did Matt kept you awake?" "No, he did not." "Well, get ready, we have a lot to do today." "Yes mother." She smiled and walked out of my room.

I look at Matt. "I'm sorry." "For what?" "That they think that it's your fault that we argued and that I'm tired." "Don't be sorry. If something doesn't go according to plan, it's always my fault." He walks to my bed and sits down. He looks sad but smiles when he sees me looking at him.

"Let's talk about you." I sit next to him. "I thought that you were mad at me?" "I'm mad at you for making worry about you. But tell me, was it her?" I look confused at him. "Is the woman I saw you with the woman you saw a few days ago?" I smile at him. "She is. I had a long talk with her this night." "Very long, I've been looking for you for two hours." "I've left the castle around midnight, Matt." "And I found you at five thirty. Wow that's a long talk." "Yeah, I hope I can see her again soon." "You will and I'll help you with that." "Thanks Matt." He stands up. "That's what brothers are for." I smile at him. "I'm going to take a shower, you should take one too, you smell bad." I playfully hit him. He laughs and walks out of my room.

I was reading a book in my bed when suddenly Matt comes in and closes the door behind him. I look at him. "Is something wrong?" He smiles at me. "Get dressed." I stand up and walk to him. "Why?" "Just do it. When you're ready, come to my bedroom. But be quiet, mother and father are sleeping." He walks out of my room. Weird.... Oh well, I'll just do what he said.

I knock on his door. "Matt? Are you in there?" The door opens and Matt looks at me. "Good, now, follow me." "Where are we going?" "Just follow me, Will." I follow him to the gates. "Are we going to the city?" "Be quiet, Will!" We wait for a few minutes and go to the gate when the guards take their break. Matt opens the gate and closes it when we're both through it. "Where are we going?" Matt walks in a street and I follow him. The street is completely empty except for one black car. Matt walks to the car and talks to the driver. Then he looks at me. "You sit in the backseat." I look at him confused but do as he says when I see him get in the passenger seat.

When I sit down in the car, the driver starts to drive. Matt looks at me. "Will, this is Drake. Drake, this is my brother, Will." I look at the driver. He has short black hair and wears sunglasses. "Hello." He looks in his mirror at me and smiles a little. "Hey." He then looks back to the road and talks to Matt. "It's still the same address?" "Yeah, unless she decided to move an hour ago." "Very funny, Matt, very funny." "I know, I'm hilarious." "And very modest." "It's good that you know that." They look like they know each other for a long time. Why didn't Matt ever mentioned him? "Are you still coming with me?" "Yes of course. Why wouldn't I?" "I don't know, I thought that you maybe wanted to be with your brother." "No! I'm going with you. I need that one time that nobody tells me what to do and how to behave!" Drake laughs a little. "Poor Matt, you have it so hard."

After a few minutes, the car stops. "We're at the address." Says Drake. Matt looks at me. "Come on, Will." He gets out of the car. "Thank you for the ride." I say to Drake. "You're welcome." I get out of the car and walk to Matt. "Where are we? And why are we here?" "This is where Luna lives." "Luna? How did you know?" "I asked Drake." "Is he a friend of yours?" "He's my only friend, well except for you of course." "Why haven't you ever mentioned him before?" "Father wouldn't approve." "No, but I would. Why didn't you tell me?" "Because you would always ask me where I'm going with him." "I wouldn't but I'm going to ask now.... Where are you going?" "We're just going to a bar." "Don't get drunk then." "Don't worry, I won't. Have fun with Luna." He said and then walks back to the car. "Matt!" He turns around and looks at me. "Thanks." He smiles. "That's what brothers are for." He says and gets in the car. I keep looking at the car until I don't see it anymore.
