I sat on the edge of my balcony, my legs dangling dangerously in the air, and I wondered to myself how I ever got to this point in my life, ( because honestly I never thought I'd think this ) where now I'm starting to wonder how me and the Prince that I think I might be in love with stand. I sighed as I pondered weakly to myself, feeling as every bit of happiness that I thought I ever had slowly drifted away into nothingness until I felt blank and numb.
~ that morning ~
" Good morning Lela " I said happily as I sat next to her in the dining room and she smiled slyly at me, shock radiating off it.
" Morning . . whats got you in such a good mood? " She asked me and I bit my lip to prevent a grin
" Oh nothing . . " I said mysteriously and we both giggled as Trinity sat beside us and raise an eyebrow smiling
" What's with the giggling? " She asked but suddenly got interrupted by the slamming of doors. The room became dead silent, and everyone's eyes were on Andrew and Maxon. They looked like they just got attack, and for some odd reason, I felt like they did. They attacked themselves. Maxon rushed angrily to his seat, making eye contact with no one, same with Andrew, except he only looked at Kriss.
Jealously spread thorough out my body, wishing that I could be the girl he looked at. Yet, I calmly swallowed down my pride and ate in silence. The minute Andrew left, me and Trinity immediately started talking
" What do you think happened? " She asked me and I shrugged
" Maybe they got into a physical fight " I said and she nodded, lost in though.
" It makes sense, no one else would dare to hurt them " Trinity began
Yeah, no one except their own father.
" But, why were they fighting, that's the question " I said and she smirked
" They're's only one way to find out " She grinned and pulled me out of the hallway, and into the wing of the Royal rooms.
She waited at Maxon's door and I at Andrews. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. No answer. I knocked again, confusion in my thoughts. No answer. I knocked again, and let my curiosity get the best of me, so I opened the door.
When I did I heard a loud shriek and found Kriss on top of Andrew. Without her shirt on. Embarrassed, I quickly closed the door and hurried my way back to my room, Trinity being already in Maxons room probably. I didn't know what to feel.
I mumbled to myself as I let my emotions run me through, on one hand he betrayed me. Lied to me. Broke a promise. But on the other hand, he is a guy. And this is the Selection. And I'm just a competitor. Nothing special. But he made me feel special. Now, I think that's a lie too.
As I got to my front door, I waved at Jason across the hall, smiling at him through mixed emotions before entering my room and propping myself up on the balcony edge, my white linen dress becoming grey and a blotchy brown from the dirt I sat on. I just didn't care. I was just confused. I wanted to know if this was normal, for Andrew to be with Kriss or if I should be mad. I could'nt ask Maxon, he'll probably just interrogate Andrew. And the King is no use either.
Then, as soon as I though of his name I knew he'd listen. I'd just have to figure out a way to ask him that doesn't sound . . cruel. I swooned myself off the edge and onto the balcony, sprinting I clasped my door open and walked across the hall.
" Hey Jason "
" Lady Annabelle " He bowed and I resisted the urge to giggle. I've talked to him so much that him doing that almost feels like a joke.
" Could you help me with a vase that fell in my room, there's glass everywhere " I lied and the corners of his mouth twitched, almost if he were to smile
" And where are your maids Miss? " He asked me formally and followed me to my room
" Currently still in breakfast Officer " I replied and he nodded
" You should really get a guard for yourself twenty four seven Miss " He spoke, his tone hushed. I opened the door to my room and lead the way to the clean, mess free room.
" So you could protect yourself, from people like . . me " He whispered and I immediately turned around. His hand covered my mouth and his arm snaked itself around my waist, latching me onto him and he lifted me up, and swirled me around in his arms. Fits of laughter erupted from me and he chuckled as well, knocking us both on my bed.
After my laughter died down I looked at him
" Can I talk to you? " I asked him and he nodded, his face turning curious and tren
" Whats wrong? " He asked me calmly
" Well, is it normal for guys to . . lie to their .. partner? " I cringed at my words and his face hardened
" Prince Andrew? " He asked me and I bit my lip, nodding and confirming his thoughts. He sighed deeply and I scooted closer to him
" He seems like a jerk " He said and I giggled, his smile radiant.
" Sometimes, he acts like one . . I just don't know why he's now, with . . Kriss. And avoiding me. Is that normal? Am I good enough? " I rambled and he shushed me and my thoughts
" You are incredible, if anything he's not good enough for you " He whispered and his lips hovered over mine. And I didn't plan on looking away either. Suddenly, he turned around and his hands went to my foot, just as the door burst open, revealing a semi-shirtless Andrew with a somewhat angry and shocked look on his face.
" Annabelle-Officer Jason . . what is going on here? " He suddenly interrogated and Jason answered before I could even think of a lie
" Lady Annabelle's foot was in pain so she called me to help her " He lied and Andrew looked at me expectantly
" Yeah, hes telling the truth. My foot hurts " I said plainly and Andrew rolled his eyes.
" Okay well you can leave officer, I need to talk to the girl " Andrew spat and rushed my way, look more furious by the second.
" Her name is Annabelle " Jason growled and slammed the door shut, not before glaring razors at the back of Andrew's head. Andrew didn't seem to care, he just glared at me.
" Why didn't you knock on my door? " He raged and I stared at him, speechless and shocked.
He's angry about that?
" I-I did. Two times. Yo- you didn't answer " I stuttered and he balled his hands up into fists.
" Well you should have waited. Now I have Kriss worrying that you'll tell everyone that we slept together and that she's a slut. " His words were poison coming out of his mouth and I immediatly bit out a small gasp
" Andrew I would never- "
" I don't care, for weeks she has been telling me that you're a bully, and now I think I'm starting to believe it " He hissed, scolding me for no reason. This time I didn't try to hide anything, i gasped and stood up, reaching his level
" Excuse me? " I asked him angrily, I looked at him with disbelief, shock, and mostly hatred. How could everything suddenly turn for worse?
" You heard me, and I thought I told you to stay away from him " He told me, and I already knew who he was talking about
" At least I'm not the one breaking a promise " I threatened, my voice barely above a whisper. His eyes seemed sorry, but his words spoke otherwise.
" I think its best if I leave " He said and I just stared at him, tring to decide if I should let him stay.
" I think you should " I told him and signaled towards the door, and just like he came in, he left.
I let him go.
