Hunting Love

Chapter 21

I changed the cast for Braydon and Brandon just because ^^

Chapter 21

Drew's POV

That moment in the lake when I went to brush a leaf that landed in Sabrina's hair but instead she threw herself into the lake. Now it makes sense. If she really was trying to make sure that I wouldn't know who she was, then she would make sure that we never touch. She threw herself into the lake to make sure that we don't come in contact with each other.

But that moment during the ball... did that mean nothing to her? I'm sure that I made it clear that I would do anything for her, but she ran away. Was it because of Karla? Karla treated her like shit while all this time I've just stood there doing nothing since I knew it to be normal for Karla to be mean.

Oh my God how could I not have put the pieces together? Briana had the lightest green eyes I've ever seen in my life. Sabrina's eyes were the exact same shade, and I was too blinded to see that. Sabrina was nothing but a slave to me, and I treated her as such.

"I don't deserve her," I whisper, lowering my head into my hands.

"That's it?! You stay quiet for five minutes just to say that? What made you think that?" Braydon exclaims, making Brandon hit him in the head.

I get up and resist the urge to pull my hair in frustration. "Don't you guys get it? Sabrina was nothing but a slave to me and the girl at the ball... to me those were two different people and I don't know which one I cared about!"

"The fuck does that mean?" Layton asks, looking confused.

"It would be unfair to be with Sabrina just because she's my soulmate when it was Briana I fell for," I try to explain, pausing at the end because even to me the reason just sounded wrong and left a weird feeling in my mouth.

"They're the same person though," Brandon points out.

"Are they? I felt nothing but love and joy around Briana, even when I was around Sabrina the day after. That makes no sense! Why did she have to lie to me? Now I don't know what to believe!"

"Drew, that was back when you thought they were two different people. Now you know there's no difference between them. You still care about her, don't you?" Maybelle asks, softly.

"I don't know!" With that I walk out of the room and slam the door.

I pace my room and take deep breathes to try and calm myself down. As the future king, I can't just rush into every decision I make without thinking it over. Now I have to realize that every decision I make affects others around me. I need to learn to slow down and take time to think.

I sit down on the bed and close my eyes. Once I feel like I'm calm enough to think rationally, I let myself think abut whatever came to mind. Of course it's not a surprise that the only thought dominating my mind right now is Sabrina.

Who is she really? Is she the girl I met at the ball or the girl I met at the lake?

But now that I really think about it, does it really matter? The girl from the ball was shy and sensitive while the girl at the lake was funny and bright. Those are all qualities that I love so what's the problem?

You know what, it shouldn't matter. Yeah, she lied to me but her reasons were justified. If I was in her shoes I would have done the same thing. I can't be mad at her for lying to me when her life was on the line.

But it still leaves one question: do I really care about her?

I fell for the girl at the ball instantly because I knew she was my soulmate, but did I feel that same connection with the girl in the lake?
