Differences

Chapter 12

Harris•

I open my eyes and the first thought on my mind is her

Yesterday we fought and my heart is aching to run to her and tell her how sorry I am. But how could I, she wants me to stay away, if she's in danger and I will not let that happen

I'm going to the coronation today but I am going to make sure Zara doesn't come with me

Amerá•

"Miss Amerá Sir Zayn please wake up, we must get you ready" I heard Katerina say through the closed door

I look over at Zayn laying beside me, I can't forget last night the intense fight we had, and how he kept apologizing trying to make me forget the harsh things he said the way I was weak and silenced

I wash up and prepare myself to get ready

Today I will be prepared for what will happen, Zayn kept asking my mother if he could go first in the ceremony but my father disagreed, I know that if the citizens don't act out Zayn might

"Morning" Zayn says standing shirtless at the door, he walks over and kisses me cheek

"Good morning" I try to be as dry as I could possibly be

I quickly walk over to the buzzer and ring Katerina to notify her that I am ready not wanting to be alone with Zayn for too long

****

"You look beautiful Amerá" Katerina squeals

"Thank you Katerina"

"Now hurry the car is outside waiting for you and Sir Zayn"

"Okay Katerina thank you"

I stand alone in the room staring at myself in the mirror, how similar the feeling I had on the day of the wedding

I walk over to my closet and move the carpet and pull open a small cabinet underground

I reach for the knife my father gave me and admire it in my hand, Having a simple tool that could end a beating heart

I hide it under my corset and rush downstairs

I carefully sit in the car "you look stunning Amerá" Zayn says

I give him a small smile and focus on the road

I look at the trees and buildings while we pass by, soon this will be my country

We finally arrive and I am escorted to the front doors the whole area being surrounded by armed guards

"Amerá it is time" my father says

This time I will walk down the isle with Zayn to our seats, the door opens and everyone's eyes are on me and Zayn

Some glare but many smile, but I just hold my head up and walk forward, my heart beating out of my chest my mouth so only turns dry and damp I have my arm rapped around Zayn's and he squeezes me a little to reassure me that he's here for me

I look to see my mother and father smiling at my direction

Looking around the room hoping Harris and Zara are not here, I don't know what I would do if either of them got hurt because of me
