Chapter 8
Kelsey's POV
Days had past and up until this very same day I am still mystified. My days have been exhausting and a handful. I have been running up and down the palace like a maniac trying not to not be late for my classes. More classes were added to my list so that means more work. Poor me? Yes I know. When you are royalty there is no idling or taking a 5 minutes break. You have to do everything you can to make sure that your country is in a good condition. And these things I am learning how to do each and everyday.
My eyes are red and burning, bags are underneath them and I am trying my best not to fall asleep in my class with Mrs. Mc.Intosh. Today I am learning how to speak boastfully without faltering. She was there at the party when I was stammering at first and she said that as a Princess that is something I must never do.
Last night, I had an encounter with Jason for the first time since he shut everyone out. His parents are worried about him and the nights when he is not home, they send guards to search for him, only to find him in the middle of the road, waiting for a car to run him over. Of course this made the King and Queen fret even more.
I couldn't sleep that night so I went into the diner to fetch a glass of milk. In the far corner, a figure was standing in the dark. The unpleasant stench of smoke and alcohol tickled my nose, causing my breath to hitch.
"Jason what are you doing here? And is that beer and a cigarette?'' I grimaced.
"You-You did this to me.'' He swallowed. You caused this excruciating pain that can never be erased. How could you?''
"What are you talking about?'' I gulped.
He smashed the empty beer bottled and the pieces crumbled on the floor. Blood rolled down his now injured hand but he didn't seem to notice.
"Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about.'' He stepped closer to me. Do you know how much pain I feel each and everyday knowing that nothing can be done to ease it?''
" Jason you are not yourself right now. You are tired and you need rest. Please just go to your room.'' I took a step back.
Even though it was dark, I still saw the lack of sleep shown in his eyes and noticed how groggy his voice sounded.
"Maybe I should just kill you myself.'' He looked down at the table and saw a knife neatly wrapped in a pink cloth. You don't deserve to live, you deserve to die!" He raised the knife.
A thought popped in my head and it was to RUN!
But before I was ready to run as fast as my little legs can carry me, he gripped my shirt. I winced as I was face to face with the pointy knife. I closed my eyes ready to meet the Lord in heaven and the angelic angels singing sweet and serene songs.
Instead, I heard a loud thud and someone groaned as the person hit the floor.
