I wake up in the morning, and find Naomi on the bed. I walk to her and ask where she was last night.
" Oh Alex I was taking a walk with a young man" I look at her dumfounded and asked his name.
" His name is Lucas De' Trabont. And he asked about you."
" Me? Why?"
" Alex it's hard to explain but Jonathan isn't what you think. He's gonna leave you, hurt you, and mess with your mind."
" What? No he saved me last night from a dragon! He wouldn't hurt me like this"
" If you don't believe me Alex go ask him yourself. He's downstairs in his study."
I walk down the hallway downstairs and stopped at Jonathan's study. I take a big breath and knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Asked Jonathan.
"It's me Alex, may I speak to you?"
I stand there waiting as I hear a big sigh come out of Jonathan.
"Come in you."
I gulp and walk in. Jonathan looks at me when I walk in and sit on his chair next to the fire.
"Why are you here Alex?" Jonathan asked.
"Um whatever happened to Pumpkin? Whatever, why I'm here is I need to talk to you."
"Why do you need to talk to me? What do you want?"
" I want you, I want you in my life, for you to be my barefooted Prince."
Hahaha Jonathan laughed.
"You really think I wanted you? Baha no I didn't I used you is all to have a little fun is all. Your so nieve Alex."
I stand there in his study trying not to cry. The only thing that comes inside my head is:
" Loosing you is like a small child playing by a stream being watched over by a nanny. The child has a small ball in her hands. Accidentally the ball rolls into the stream. The child cries. And the Nanny can't get the ball. The Nanny picks up the child as they watch the ball floats down the stream out of sight never to be seen from again."
I stand there waiting for a response from Jonathan.
"Wow interesting, now go I have no need of you anymore Alex leave me."
I cry and run out. I don't even run back to Naomi. No I run out of the mansion and run back into the forest and fall to my knees. I fall asleep. When I wake the next morning I am in a soft bed, made of feathers. I look around and don't recognize anything.
A man come up to me and holds me and rocks me. I try to speak.
"Shhhh let me hold you princess you just had an afoul dream."
"I shake my head and try and remember what happened I was in a mansion with my friend Naomi and some guy named Jonathan.
"I'm telling you Alex you had a dream, you daydream a lot. There was no mansion there was no Naomi, there was no Jonathan."
" But how I was there I saw everything and felt everything."
"That's the thing about daydreaming Alex you can feel and see everything." Lucas De'Trabont said.
I stand up and walk around trying to gather my thoughts.
"I see now that I was daydreaming I have no friends, I don't don't have a friend named Naomi, and I don't have a prince named Jonathan."
"That's right Alex I went into your dream and tried to rescue you before you got so drawn into it that you would never wake up."
"Well I thank you for protecting me from that. I know I can tend to go a bit far and daydream for hours or days."
"That's alright but hey can I be your friend? I can take you to France with me where I live and I can show you the sights?" Lucas De'Trabont asked.
"I would love that, to see your world not something made up and that will fade away."
That's what we just did, Lucas took me to his house and showed me everything. My life was goin great untill a familiar face showed up....
You guessed it, it was Jonathan.
I think back on what Lucas said that Jonathan wasn't real. But there he was walking down the rue as he slipped into a bakery. My heart stops, then I know that I will have my happily ever after with my barefooted Prince.
THE END
