But It Isn't Enough!

Chapter 1

5 Days Before The wedding...

I'm confused. But guess what? I fell in love with the king what was I expecting? Life is going to be hard anyways. But wouldn't it be great if I could grab Ben and get the hell out of here and start a normal quiet life together. Not too ordinary but the idea of being a queen seems pretty far from my visions. The visions that I had these past 3 years. Even farther from the ones I had back on the Isle of the Lost. No. That is nothing like I've dreamed my life to be. Back there I was dreaming of world domination and evil over everything but now. It has just been 3 freaking years. Why did everything change so much. I'm getting married with Ben in 5 days and I'm damn confused.  I'm in my room watching my best friend getting all happy and excited about my wedding while I'm over here ready to pass out. Evie disturbs my thoughts with her excitement once again. More reasons to pass out are coming soon and I feel it.
Evie: i can't believe that my bestie in five days will become a queen and get married. This is the most exciting thing that can ever happen. Well exciting as long as you put aside that you will have no free time, not so many dates with Ben, you will have to wear a lot of make up, you will also have to get used to
high heels and also...
Mal: Enough! (why these days every time Evie opens her mouth I end up screaming to her to stop? all these are just too much)
Evie: whoa someone is not happy tonight (she says clearly not knowing what I feel like)
Mal: well i could be if i didn't have to think in my sleep for every single thing you just said. (i already know that I'm not sleeping tonight. that has been happening for one week straight and I'm kinda tired of it as I can say)
Evie: i wish i could say that i exaggerated but it is true Mal. All these are going to happen and you have to get used to them. (believe me I know I have to but it is so hard to think that much when I never really had to do this so often)
Mal: but why does it have to be so hard? I mean everyone knows I can't handle this. And its true! (it is actually not true. for some strange reason everyone counts on me like crazy. have you ever seen me trying to pour tea?)
Evie: Mal do you overreact a little?
Mal: you think?
Evie: just saying...
Mal: its easy for you. You date Doug not the king. ( i think that what I just said might have hurt her. she doesn't really talk about Doug after kissing him to wake up from Audrey's weird spell. I assumed that they got together after that.)
Evie: well we can call it dating if you insist
Mal: what do you mean? Aren't the two of you dating?
Evie: yeah...i think we are (she thinks?)
Mal: but you aren't really sure
Evie: can't be
Mal: Evie I'm so sorry (its true. she has complicated feeling and as her best friend my job is to help her get through that but I didn't)
Evie: about what?
Mal: i was so focused on complaining about my problems that i didn't give you the chance to tell me how you are going with Doug
Evie: don't even worry about that Mal. We can figure our things out but the important is you now. (she so kind. too kind for me)
Mal: I guess
Evie: look its pretty late and you seem really confused so i think that the best thing to do now is to take a good nap and think about everything in the morning ok girl?
Mal: alright. (i won't be able to sleep but if I tell her she will stay here the rest of the night and I just need some alone time to think now so I decide to not tell her my plans for tonight)

4 Days Before The Wedding

Its like 8 in the morning and as I thought. I have the same mood as yesterday and every other day this week. I also got used to Jane, Lonnie and Evie "waking" me up every morning. They aren't here. Did they forget to become annoying for today? I hear the door burst open. Of course they didn't.
Jane: is the princess still sleeping? (still as annoying as I remember. They approach my bed on the other side of the room where the door was pretty quickly. that scares me for a while.)
Lonnie: looks like it (yeah you too. and here they go jumping on my bed. how dare they to do that.)
Jane: or should we say "is the queen still sleeping" (not helping your self at all girl)
Evie: guys leave her alone (THANK GOD)
Mal: this tradition will never get old but today you're late and I was worried (clearly not but they don't need to know that)
Jane: of course and we didn't forget you Mal. (like I care much. i turn my face the other way just so I can roll my eyes at her honesty)
Lonnie: we were a little late because we heard that Ben is coming to take you to a date today and we ran to bring you a dress and heels! (she talks with a lot of enthusiasm in her voice and I just don't get why?)
Mal: why do I need to be ready?
Evie: well because...you can't be seen like that from Ben. (what the heck is she talking about?)
Jane: he can't see you with messy hair and pajamas ( still not getting why...)
Mal: and why is that? I mean I'm going to marry him so he will have to get used to this messy look ( a smile escapes my mouth and Evie catches it immediately. she's the only one who knows short of what I feel.)
Lonnie: Nooo ( she is just being too much. Ben won't have a problem with messy hair and no makeup. Will he?)
Jane: when you get married you will have to wake up 2 hours earlier than him to take a bath get ready and cook breakfast. Rules. (wait...did she just said rules? this will not end well...)
Mal: can you explain what these rules are? (now I'm confused as hell)
Evie: we would love to sweety but Ben is coming over any minute and you look like you just woke up.
Mal: because I did???
Jane: he doesn't need to know about it.
They try to grab me from the arms to pick me up but by throwing their hands away and giving them an angry look they back off understanding that I'm not a morning person. The dress they brought me is actually cute. It's a light purple, with black lace on the bottom and above the elbows straps. The dragon designs on the waist area caught my eye immediately. I bet Evie chose this dress. I leave the girl on my bed and I go the changing room that my royal bedroom has. Wearing the dress I see that it fits perfectly. I was actually expecting that since Evie designs all of my outfits so she knows my size. When I'm ready on my dress and heels I walk out of the changing room and the reaction on their faces is the same as every time I put a dress on. Don't they know that?
Lonnie: priceless (she talks like I put on a million dollars dress. something I wish didn't happen)
Jane: you look perfect in this. Imagine how your wedding dress will be
Evie looks at her with anxiety in her face knowing that she shouldn't say that and the truth is that. Jane just ruined my "fine" mood.
Evie: i think that we should do makeup and hair and get out of here before Ben comes. (why is it such a big thing that Ben is coming over?)
Mal: if you insist.
After 7 exactly minutes we are done finally and I look like I'm going to some beauty pageant or something. I can't complain cause no-one can find out that I'm not the happiest about my wedding.
Evie: well we are done here girls so we better get going.
Jane: you are right we should leave you two alone (what was that?)
Mal: you know he isn't here yet right?
Lonnie: he will be here any minute though so get excited (why would I?)
Mal: fine thanks and you can go now
Evie: ok good luck girl! (I didn't know I needed luck to meet my boyfriend)

Damn. I'm so freaking pissed off. I'm waiting for 2 hours and 36 minutes and he still isn't here. What is wrong with him? You know what I don't need to wait anymore. I need to do something so my anger passes. But I'm definitely leaving this room for now. Walking down the hall of the castle I'm glad that it is empty so I don't have to talk to someone while I'm so furious. Is it possible that "King Ben" forgot? How could he? Wait a second. I just got out of the palace and I feel dizzy. That's exactly what Evie said!
