Love Conquers All

Chapter Twenty Three

George's POV

Why do I hear screaming? I hear screaming. My eyes open up grogily and I frown, Philip's usually there. He's not there. And there's a mess like he had ran out of bed. It leads to the bathroom.

"Philip? Love, are you okay?" My eyes widen as something thumps against the door. Then there's more screaming. I rip the door and my eyes widen.

Hes just staring at himself in the mirror. His knuckles are white and teeth bared. His breath is rugged and funhers hanging onto the edge of the sink tightly.

"Philip, love, whats the matter?" I frown and take a step in and his eyes flare.

" What the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave. " He snarls. I frown and play with the edge of my shirt nervously.

"I... no you didn't. Im sorry." I take a few steps back when he stalks twoards me.

"Get the hell out. Now." I frown and watch as he marches past me, his eyes dont even glance at me as he starts getting dressed.

"What... What'd I do?" I bite my lip and fight back the tears. What did I dp? What did I say? What did you screw up now George?

"Nothing. You did nothing last night. " He scoffs like its the most repulsive thing he can think of." We did nothing last night."

"Oh... you really wanted too...' I gulp and my eyes fall to the floor. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad. We can still... do it if you still want too."

"Get out of my home Eaker!" He snaps and points out the door.

"No! You told me that you loved me and that I'm everything to you! I know you're everything to me."

"What are you on? Fairy dust?" He growls and shoves me back. "Get out! I wanted one thing from you and I'm not getting. So... bye!"

I stand in the middle of the living room and its silent for a few minutes. The kings are lounging on the couch, Alex in Thomas' side. Alexs eyes are wide and he's pale. Thomas looks at Alex, Philip, the me.

"Get out!"Philip screams and points to the door." I don't need,nor want you. If I wanted someone to love I'd look other places. "

I feel the anger start in my stomach. Its red and hot and mean. It crawls up into my lungs and I cant breath, it makes my heart pound against my rib cage. Then it takes control of my arms. My hand flies forward and I smack Philip's cheek, he staggers back a few steps and teeth bare at me in a snarl. His eyes narrow and he grabs a butchers knife from the counter.

"You little bitch ." He snarls and starts at me. I hold my ground and glare at him.

"Woah there buddy!" Alex steps between us. "It's okay, we won't tell anyone he was here. Its okay."

I stop and blink. I look at Alex in pure horror. They're.... going to..... just pretend I was never here. That I never saved their son. My eyes shift to Thomas and he's glaring at me.

Philip grunts and lets the knife drop. Alex looks at me with distaste in his eyes. He grinds his teeth and his eyes narrow distastefully.

"Don't you ever come near my son again, you hear me Eaker?" He turns to me and straightens his back.

"I- I never ment to hurt him Mr. Hamilton...." I shake my head and back to the door. Thomas gives a heavy sigh and his eyes shift to me angerily. They're pure black.

"Get out Eaker. " He growls, he climbs over the couch and stalks slowly twoards me.

"There must be some misunderstanding here... I love him. You know that, you saw yesterday and you heard him tell me that he loves me. I never ment to hurt him, or keep something he wanted away from him. " My hand finds the door handle and I open it slowly.

"Why would I ever love a thing like you? You don't have an ounce of Fae blood in you. The kingdom would be in an uproar!" He laughs like the idea of us together is funny. His eye bore into me like hes bored, bored of me.

After all, I am just a broken toy.

"Maybe I'll find myself a nice wife? We'll have beautiful little children, start a life, take over this place after my fathers." He hums and looks around. "Find someone I actually love." My breath hitches and my eyes widen.

"Philip.." I say softly and his eyes fixate on me.

"Maybe I'll find someone I'll remember ." His face grows with a teasing smile and hands tuck behind his back.

I turn and run.
