My Prince, His Majesty{Keith Powers}

Andrea

My brothers and I all look at each other. Fear strikes though me. I turn to them and their friends. "We have to go and find Keke." I say. I begin to walk. Caleb grabs my arm. "The hell we are. You lied to us." He said. I sigh. "It's not the time for this. She could be in danger."

"She shouldn't even be here. You told us that she was off to college." Tyler says. Jahi stands still, not saying anything. "Are you guys really going to sit here and demand an explanation when our older sister is in trouble?"

"Guys. You should go." Their friend says. I turn around and stare her down. "I'm sorry who are you again?"

She steps back and then takes a drop breath. "My name is Ruby. And this is my brother Simon."

"Well Ruby. I don't know what you did to get thrown in jail, but my brothers were thrown in for no reason."

"I wouldn't say that." She tells me cocking an eyebrow.

"So then please explain to me why."

"My brothers and I were getting arrested because our parents couldn't provide medicine for the King at a certain time. Our parents weren't home so they just took us. Your brothers decided to interfere and try to help us and got themselves in trouble too."

I turn towards them. "Are you guys stupid! You don't even know her! Why would you-

"Let's just go find Keke." Tyler cuts me off. I buck my head back. "We're going to talk about this later." I turn towards Ruby. "Look. I'm not going to tell you to go back. I'm not going to turn you in. All I'm saying is that we're going to be moving fast. So you and your brother better keep up."

"But he's so young." She tells me.

"I'm sorry but I'm protecting my brothers, not you and your brother. So you two better keep up if you don't want to get caught."

Luke comes around the corner. "Come on we have to go and find Keke- who are these people?"

"I'm Ruby and this is my little brother Simon. Your friends snuck us out when they snuck out."

"Really, Tyler?" Luke turns towards him. Tyler puts his hands up. "It wasn't me this time. It was Jahi. He took her."

"Well you guys better keep up. I don't know who's in Keke's room but we're about to find out." He says and leads the way. We all follow behind him.

"I'm scared." I hear Simon says. Jahi turns towards him. "It's going to be okay." He tells him. I watch as Ruby looks up at him and smiles. She looked at him in admiration.  I could see in her eyes that she felt some type of way about him. I stare back at them. Luke grabs my arm. "Hey." He says. I look up at him. "Don't pay attention to that. We can't afford any distractions."

"She is a distraction." I say yanking my arm out of his grip.

"She just likes him a little it's not that serious."

"You say that. But I find it kind of serious. I don't trust anyone who's not family."

"Come on, Andrea. Don't act like you've never had a crush on someone."

"I haven't."

"And I'm not family. But you trust me, right?"

"Well I consider you family." I say. He tilts his head up and smiles. "Then I guess we have some incest going on."

"What?" I ask.

"What?" He says. I shake my head. "Did you just say what I think you said? Incest? Really Luke? With who?"
