Surprisingly Royal

👸Chapter 10 : Everything is Over

I walk to the door of her house and knock.
There is no response.
I begin to knock even louder than before.

The door opens.

"Can't you see that you are not welcomed here or you want me to elaborate why your presence in not needed here before you disappear."Em asks in a very angry tone.

"What is going on?why are you acting this way?
And yes I would really like it if you explain what the hell is going on with you."

"What is going on with me? you've got to be seriously kidding me. i should be the one asking you this question. Do you know what your actions have caused.
It will be very wise of you if you get the hell out of my residence."she shouts

"What have i done?I don't even understand why you are acting like this towards me.
I'm the one supposed to be mad at you for not keeping your promise but see my pathetic self, right at your doorstep and you are behaving like this towards me."I shout back.

"Oh....so I'm the bad guy now.
you want me to tell you what you've done right?  fine ....no problem I will tell you how you've ruined my sister's life.
How should I even start ? ohh
Your lovely mum came to my house one morning to complain to my dearest mother and father about how Melanie is being ill treated.
And how did your dearest mother know about this?
I didn't tell her ,no one in my family told her. so who can this person be?
I trusted you soo much to tell you this and there you are blabbering it to your mum." She says

" how was I supposed to know that you didn't want anyone to know.
I thought you needed help and as a true friend I thought the best way to help is to tell my mum to help explain certain things to your parents. i felt an adult intervention would actually make everything better.
I thought it would help solve this issue Em.
I'm so sorry if this caused some kind of comotion here but all what we did was to help."I say sincerely

I should have asked mum whether she actually went to see Em's parent.
I was so busy thinking about how to leave the house causing me to forget such an important thing.

I don't even understand why mum never mentioned anything about it.

"Don't you think that if I wanted your mum's help i would have gone straight to her. I just came to your house because you are my main source of courage.
To me ,being around you makes me feel better Ciara.
And now I've been deprived of my source of comfort because of what your mum did."

"But Em ..."

"Let me finish "she says pointing her index finger at me to shut me up.

"Your mum's little visit has caused a lot of problems.
Do you know how I was punished for talking to you about this matter?
I was given the biggest punishment I had never imagined of getting.
I was told to stay away from you Ciara.
I was told to not even mingle with my other friends anymore because they are scared I would keep on taking our family problems out.
Not only this
Melanie is also being forced to marry someone else ,i mean a total stranger because my parents fear any public disgrace.
I've destroyed my sister's life Ciara.
I'm such a worthless person.I destroyed my own sister's life by trusting you"she says crying

How can they do this to their own daughter.
How can i stay away from Emily.
This is so not fair
They are just selfish cowards who think about nothing but their reputation in the kingdom.
They are even ready to marry off their own child to a common stranger just to protect their image
Who does this cruel thing?
I accept the fact that i made a mistake but then we were just trying to help Melanie.

"Emily,I'm so sorry for what I caused.
I swear if I knew this was going to happen I would have done anything to stop this .
But this is so unfair! we were just trying to help.
I think your parents where already planning to marry her off. So their perfect excuse was my mum and public disgrace Em.
I will talk to them myself in order to save our friendship and Melanie. They just can't do this to us. I won't stand around and do nothing whiles Melanie's future is on the line. She should be allowed to make her own decisions. This is just not right Em ."
