The Knight And The Prince

Chapter Seven

I wake up to the sound of someone banging on my door. I rub my eyes and sit up slowly. I kick my legs to the side of the bed and stand up slowly on the cold floor. The banging continued this whole time slowly getting more vigorous. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" I tell walking towards the door. I open it and yawn. "Wh-" Before I can finish my question I get kissed. At first, I just stand there like a moron and then I realize what's going on so I push the unidentifiable person off me. Once I get them off I find out it's Abigail. "What the fuck!" I scream. "Why the hell did you just kiss me?!" I start getting angrier.

She glares at me pushing her way into my room and closing my door locking it. "For your information buddy, I'm going to be your wife so get used to it! Also, I wanted to surprise you and have a good time before anyone else woke up but I guess that's not going to happen now is it?!" I can practically see steam rising from her face as I listen to this.

"Get the hell out! I don't fucking love you and I never will!" I scream at her a bit louder than intended.

"You could learn!" She says pushing me towards the wall. I fall back and land on one of my finished paintings breaking it.

"I can not you, you bitch! You're such a horrid human being, I'll never love someone like you! I'm in love with someone else anyways!" I scream tears running down my face.

"Who?!"

"Roman!" I screamed getting up and breaking the rest of my canvas over my knee in frustration.

"Wait...you're gay?" She asks suddenly a lot calmer.

I calm down and look at her confused. "Gay? No, I'm not happy I have to keep this all a secret," I say like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"No, no, no it's a new term people use for homosexuals,," She says explaining this to me.

"Oh..." I say thinking about everyone that just happened. "Shit!" I yell all of a sudden.

"What?" She asks with concern in her voice.

"Sorry I just realized I told you I was...gay," I say falling back and sighing. "I'm sorry I can't love you."

She comes and lays next to me. "It's fine, I get it. I wish you and Roman the best of luck in your love affair," She says smiling at me.

I roll my eyes and put my hand out to her. "Truce?" I ask.

She grabs my hand and shakes it. "Truce."

~Flashback~

"On an adventure," I say walking towards the river. Roman speeds up so we're walking side by side.

"What's the adventure?" He asks picking up and rock and skipping it across the river.

"I just want to run away," I state. "I want to run away for the day and get out of the kingdom." I get to our kingdoms walls and start climbing a vine. He follows behind.

"What kingdom are we heading to?" He asks reluctantly going with me even though he's against the idea. I know he is.

"No, no I'm taking you on an adventure," I say pointing to a mountain a few miles away from where we are.

He looks at me like I'm insane. "The dragon-witches lair?!" He yells. "Are you really that stupid?" He asks and I am taken aback.

"Me the stupid one? Oh yes because wanting to spend time with my best friend makes me stupid. I just want alone time and that's the only place I'm away from the spotlight!" I scream at him feeling like my heart was just ripped out of my chest.

"You're right," Roman begins. "You aren't stupid. That's an insult to stupid people. You are a fucking idiot! We won't have time to spend because we'll be fighting! Virgil, I don't care how rude I'm being because you're being so dumb! I was assigned to protect you and that can't happen if we're throwing ourselves at danger! I don't want you to die! I fucking love you dumbass! I can't do this anymore, I won't be responsible, I quit," Roman says crawling back over the wall and running off. I fall to the ground feeling as if a knife is repeatedly stabbing my heart but I still won't die. I clutch my chest.

I start bawling my eyes out feeling like such an idiot. "I love you too," I mumble before passing out.
