Do I Follow my Heart or my Mind?

- Rose's POV -

The days went by as Harry and I spent all of them together, except for when he was called into the studio to record, but other than that..

Everyday was spent with him.

None of those days were boring, everyday was a surprise. We went on our ‘dates’ and every single one was different. He never took me to the same place twice, he’d always try his best to find a completely different location for the two of us. One day it would be the park, the next day a fancy restaurant, the day after that it was an amusement park, and so on. As this went on, I was learning more and more about him everyday. The best thing though? He was actually trying to make me happy and to get to know me, not the Princess, better too. Never have I ever met a boy that wanted to know who the girl behind the tiara was. They always wanted to know more about the celebrities I met, the places I’ve gone to, and all this other shit I don’t really care about. It was never about my likes and dislikes, my thoughts, my obsessions, me.

Harry made me feel.. Normal. Like, I wasn’t the Queen of England’s granddaughter, I didn’t live in the Buckingham Palace, I didn’t have all these privileges. I felt like I didn’t have to put on this act just to impress him and make him like me because he actually did. I finally found a friend who I could feel secure with and not have to worry whether or not he was just using me.. And this was where my conscience kicked in.

I was the one using him.

I didn’t really think about it until the day we went to the shore. It hit me out of nowhere when we were ready to head home. We were doing a round of quick fire and he asked me what I hated the most. I told him when people used me to get in the spotlight and he agreed. Only then did I realize what I was making him do. I was caught up in making my mum beyond angry, I wasn't focusing on the potential friendship with the curly haired boy and my feelings toward him, even if I had any.

Which I kind of did, maybe.

I don't know what I was feeling towards him! All I know is that he made me feel special and happy and loved, but the thing is.. I don't know if he's just doing that because of our - my plan or if he truly means it.

"Why did you even suggest the idea? Ugh!" I snapped at myself, covering my eyes with my hands.

"Am I interrupting something?" Theo's voice broke into my thoughts, watching as I angrily whispered to myself.

Looking up, I found my older brother's face staring at me in amusement.

"No, no. Just thinking." I explained.

"You think weird."

“Shut up, Teddy.”

“I’m just stating the facts, Lee.”

Theo was the only one who ever called me Lee, just like I was the only who called him Teddy. It was our thing, nobody else’s.

“What are you doing here?” I wondered, my eyes following the older boy as he took a seat next to me. “I thought Mariana and you were on holiday for another week?”

Mariana was Theo’s wife for two years, she was absolutely lovely. They married young, 19 to be exact. Sure, it was a big surprise since they had only been dating for a year, but the way my brother looked at her, we all knew it was meant to be. Well, by we, I meant our entire family except our mum. She was completely outraged by their sudden decision. She even threatened to kick Theo out of the Palace, but he didn’t really care. The couple was already planning to buy a flat of their own, so it wasn’t really a threat to him. Our mum eventually gave in and accepted the fact that there was no way she could stop them, but we all knew she was still pissed at him and always will be.
