Our Love Grows

Chapter 16

*Stella's POV*

"I know you wanted to spend some time with your family but we have to go back home. My parents are arguing again but this time it is serious. The kingdom is worried. So they want us back now." I explained.

Brandon nodded and we headed up back up to his parent's house. We quickly got packed and explained to everyone that we had to go back to my planet. Sky looked at us worried and I gave him a look that explained almost everything. He nodded and told up to barrow one of his ships. I thanked Sky and took Brandon's hand and lead him to the ship.

We sat there quietly and did not say anything. I felt bad that we did not get to spend a lot of time with his family. Brandon hugged me and said,

"It's alright Princess. We will see them all soon again."

I loved that Brandon was so optimistic about everything. He always reassured me that everything would be alright. The ride over to my planet was peaceful and I enjoyed spending some quiet time with Brandon. We landed and I got nervous. Brandon took my hand and kissed it. We stepped off together and I saw that no one was waiting for us but Alan. He smiled to me and said,

"Sorry to interrupt your family time with Brandon's family but I got worried and did not know who to go to. And I thought of you."

"it's alright Alan. I have dealt with a lot of my parent's arguments. What is this one about?" I asked worried.

Alan did not know how to say it but I knew just by his look it was about me. I walked past him and into the kingdom. I knew where my parents were and I went straight up to them. My mother turned to see me. She then looked over to Alan and Brandon. She gave me a sorrow look and asked,

"Sweet angel, what are you doing here? What happened to spending some time with Brandon's family?"

"Well, you know. I had to come back and take care of my parents because they don't know how to take care of themselves without arguing." I explained with a little sarcasm.

Neither of my parents said anything. No one said a word. I looked over to my father and asked,

"What were you arguing about now? I know it was about me. But what about me?"

My parents did not say a word. They did not know how to tell me. That made me even nervous now and I had to know what they were talking about me that made it into an argument. I huffed and was about to speak up but then Brandon butted in and said,

"Stella has right to know. She will be the one next to take over the throne. So please don't hold back. She is stronger then you know."

I smiled at Brandon and took his hand. We stood together and was facing my parents. I knew that Brandon said everything that I wanted to say. I looked over to my father and he sighed and said,

"You have to understand Stella that we only want what's best for you but your mother thinks I am being foolish about my decision on you....
