I'd Like to Trade my Sunglasses for a Tiara Please? *ON HOLD*

Chapter 8: Confused

I threw a pair of shoes at the boys to wake them up since they weren't listening to me.  They finally jumped awake when the shoes collided with Jake's face, and Danny's chest.

"What the f. . . ." Jake was cut off by a stern look from Danny.

"Why are you throwing my shoes at me?"  Danny asked while I continued to pack.

"Technically I threw them at you AND Jake but as I said before, TAKE ME BACK TO THE HOTEL!"  I practically screamed at him.  By this time I was finished packing and started to walk out the door.  Danny blocked my way.

"Whats going on?"  He looked at me with concern.

 "Yea and it better be a damn good reason to be throwing shoes at my face.  You could have ruined this beautiful face and a lot of girls would be very disappointed," Jake said with a smirk.

"I'll tell you in the car, please just take me back to the hotel," I looked at them with my puppy dog eyes and it wasn't long before Danny finally cave.

"Ok lets get you checked out," he said with a sigh.

We got everything situated and when we finally got into the car I just broke down.  Danny was driving and Jake sat in the back seat with me.  I crawled beside Jake and with my head on his chest let the tears fall.  He put his arm around me and I just sat there and cried.

Jake's POV

I carried Beth's sleeping body to our suite.  Z was with Clair, so we didn't have to worry about him barging in.  I'm not sure what upset her so bad, but she cried almost the whole way to the hotel until she finally just passed out.  I laid her on Danny's bed knowing that's who she would want to be with when she woke up.

"Dude what do you think is wrong with her?"  I looked at Danny.  He looked as if he was about to cry just looking at her tear-stained cheeks.

"You don't think she's upset about me having a bad feeling about Michel, do you?"  He looked at me.  "Surely she isn't this torn up by just a feeling?"  Now he was the one getting torn up.

"Danny, I don't think that's it, but it could be a factor, you know your opinion means a lot to her," I realized this wasn't really helping him feel better.  He loved her more than anything.  He was everything for her and she was always there for him.  About this time my thoughts were interrupted by Beth stirring.

Elizabeth's POV

I woke up in Danny's bed, it smelt just like him; it was kind of a woodsy scent with a hint of Axe.  I looked up and saw Danny looking like he was about to cry and Jake just looked distant but also sad.

"Baby girl," Danny said with a sigh and sat on the bed beside me.  Jake sat on the other bed in front of us.

"What happened at the hospital?" Jake asked.

"Danny was right," I mumbled in Danny's shoulder.

"What do you mean I was right?"  He pulled me up into his lap and tucked his hand under my chin to make me look at him.

 "He's been lying to me this whole time,"  I looked at him and I could almost see Danny's heart break.

"What do you mean he's lying to you?" Jake asked after a couple of moments of awkward silence.

"He's the Prince of France, he's going to rule a country, and he never told me!!!"  I shouted.  "He is a Prince and he just waltzes into my life pretending to be a regular person.  Then he drops the L bomb on me,  and I returned it!  Only to find out he's a prince, a ruler, most likely betrothed!!!"  I was speaking really fast and the hysteria was kicking in.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth!! Look at me!" Danny said shaking me.  "He was trying to protect you, you know what paparazzi is like back at home, its the same way here when it comes to the royal family."  I've done some research on the family for my senior year, and they've decided not to force the heir into a marriage, the Queen wanted him to marry for love.  Her quote was "A happy King, makes a happy country."  I don't think he was trying to keep something from you."

I just sat there and looked at him, he was trying to tell me something before the wreak.  But could it have been fate that didn't want me to know what he was.  That I wasn't suppose to be with him.  I loved him did I not?  I felt the tingling sensation at his touch.  My thoughts were interrupted by a ringing on my phone.

"Hello?"

"Elizabeth, Its Michel"

"Oh um hey"

"I want you to know that I NEVER meant to hurt you, I was going to tell you.  That was the whole point of our date.  I was going to introduce you to my parents.  That was what I was trying to tell you in the limo so you wouldn't freak out when you got to the palace."

"I wouldn't have freaked"

"Really Elizabeth" I could almost hear him rolling his eyes.

"Ok maybe a little" He started to chuckle.

"I get out of the hospital in the morning, and Mother refuses to let me go anywhere, but she's agreed to let you come here instead."

"That sounds fine,"

"Good I send a car for you in the afternoon"

"I'll see you soon"

"I love you"  I blushed this was the first time we said it since the accident.

"I love you too"

"Au reviour" and then he hung up.

"What was that about?" Jake looked at me more confused than usual.

"He wants me to come meet his family," I said.

"I meant whats with the L bomb, I took Danny months to figure out he loves Jess, and you've only been dating Michel for a little over a week and you're already saying it casually."  He looks at me astonished, usually me and Danny are alike in every way.

"I don't know, it was kind of an accident, how we told each other," i admitted.

"How do you accidentally tell someone you love them?" Danny looked both amused and mad, and it was kind of funny.

"Well when he was trying to tell me he was the Prince, I thought he was trying to tell me he loved me, and then he said that's not was he was going to tell me, even though he did, and I told him I felt the same way." 

Both of them just looked at me for a moment, then busted into laughter.  I finally caved and laughed with them.

"Are you going to go?" Danny looked at me now with concerned eyes.

"I think so, I mean if he does love me I deserve to know the truth about him; all of him,"  I looked at Danny, but he just looked ahead, deep in thought.  I looked at Jake who wasn't sure what to say.  I got up and went to the bathroom.  After I was finished I washed my hands and face, then walked back into the room to see Danny still sitting in the same place but now looking kind of upset, and Jake was no where to be found.

 "Are you ok?"  He looked up at me with worried eyes.

"Danny, I'm fine.  I feel fine, and I'm well enough to go see Michel."  I said knowing what he was referring to.  "Where's Jake?"

"Right here!" Jake announced as he walked in the door with a bottle of water.  "So you do realize we're leaving to go back home in four days right?"  Jake looked at me.  Oh crap I forgot we were leaving earlier than planned because something was going on at school, so they're making everyone get back on campus.

"Ugh I guess I'll have to tell Michel tomorrow."  I said pouting a little.
