Royal and the Common (3/3) (M.JessexLukas)

Lukas's PoV

[ Morning ]

Lukas sighed, looking at himself in the mirror. "Lukas?" his father called, making him close his eyes. "Coming." he murmured to himself, opening the bathroom door and entering the hallway.

In front of him, stood a girl and a woman, both with red hair. But the woman, had eyes of coldness. Was all royalty like that? Lukas wondered. He turned his attention to the girl beside the woman. She looked bored out of her mind, and it was as if she was forced to be here in the castle.

Lukas could somehow relate to that.

The girl and Lukas made eye contact, but this time, it wasn't as strong as the one he had with Jesse... Lukas forced down those feelings, remembering how he had to let him go out into the night.

The girl frowned, looking up at her mother, who was probably the queen of somewhere and frankly, Lukas didn't care. He just wanted to hide out in his room. "Ahem," Lukas's father, the king, cleared his throat. "Your Highnesses, I present to you my son, Lukas Porter."

Lukas sighed. This was going to be a long and tortuous day.

[ At the beach a few days later ]

Jesse's PoV

Jesse reeled in a fish, feeling frustrated. His arms were tired from pulling in his catches, and his feet were aching from standing on the dock. "Jess!" he called, looking at his house nearby. "What is it?" she poked her head out the window, waiting.

"I might need more bait." he said, holding up some chunks of raw chicken they always used as bait. Jess scoffed, "Alright. But just remember you're practically throwing in our dinner."

Jesse rolled his eyes, sitting on the wooden boards. He looked down at his reflection, and gently placed a toe in the water. A flash of memory came back to him, making him pull away, shaking with fear. He had to stop thinking about it... the ocean was nothing to be afraid of.

He clenched the floor boards tightly as he placed his feet into the water, trying to overcome his fear.

It was a different memory this time... a memory he couldn't remember.. he was much younger than usual. Everything was broken and falling apart, and someone was carrying him.. "Steven!" he heard a woman's voice call.

There was an explosion, as the woman coughed, stumbling in the darkness.

Jesse could barely see through the smoke, but all he saw was the gloomy dark ocean in front of them. The woman was making her way to a boat... "Do you have everything?" the woman asked, climbing onto the craft.

Jesse couldn't hear anything, but he felt the slight rocking of the boat, which meant they were sailing... but to where? And why? Were they leaving? He looked up to see his mother... Alex. As beautiful as he could remember. And on her head was a crown.

"Jesse!"

Jesse flinched, opening his eyes and nearly falling off the dock and right into the water but Jessica caught his arm. "Were you sleeping on the job?" she demanded, her green eyes fixed on him as he tried to make sense of what he just saw.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You looked like you've seen a ghost!" she placed a hand on his forehead. Jesse looked at her. "Jess.." he said. "I think I saw something... I had a vision.."

Jess frowned. "Now you're starting to not make any sense. What vision?" she asked skeptically.

Jesse hesitated a little. "I-I don't know. But I heard mom... and she called for dad. And.." he trailed off, trying to make sense, "And there was a crown on her head."
