The one that got away

Chapter 8 - Prince Eric

        I´ve been over the moon this last couple of weeks, Jeanelle is just perfect, she is kind, beautiful, smart, strong but at the same time fragile. She is all could ever hope for and more. It´s been difficult to sneak out of the palace without being seen and I think my father is starting to get suspicious of my weekend expeditions, but its all worth it when I´m with Jeanelle. It´s like time stops for us and we are the only people in the world. I know she is the one, that is why I´m ready to propose to her tonight.

        I sneak out once again, without any trouble and head to the place of our meeting near the river. I´ve given a lot of thought to what I´m about to do but I know that she is the only one for me, I could only hope she feels the same.

        It´s getting late and she still hasn´t arrive, I´m starting to wonder if something might have happen to her, she usually is here on time. Just as I was starting to make my way into her house, she shows up, as beautiful as ever in a white dress, looking like an angel. I smile and make my way to her hugging her tight.

        - I thought the day no longer pass for us to be reunited again my love. - I confess to her. I can feel her hugging me tight as well but she seems more tense than usual.

        She pulls back from my hold and I frown at her, something is wrong, I can feel it.

        - What is wrong my love? Are you ill? - I asked concern

        She shakes her saying no and then looks at me in the eye.

        - Eric..I..We need to talk - she starts saying

        I look at her confused, not understanding what we could possible have to talk about. She takes a deep breath a says:

        - We can no longer see each other again.

        The minute she said that was as if my heart broke into a milion pieces

        - What? Why would you say such a thing  my love ?- I wasn´t understanding why she was doing that to us

        - I no longer love you. I love another man.- she confessed

        - Who? - I had let her go by now. I could not believe this was happening

        - It doesn´t matter who - she replied- We can no longer see each other ever again

        - I don´t believe you! - By now all I could feel was the pain of rejection

        - I´m sorry Eric..my Prince, I really am - and with that she walk away taking what was left of my heart with her.

        Pain was all I could feel right know, tears were falling down my face and the weight of the box on my pocket was a painful reminder of what I had just lost.

        The next few days were torture for me, I isolated myself in my room. I didn´t eat, didin´t speak, I could barely sleep. I spend my days thinking of Jeanelle and remembering our time together, I still had the box with the ring inside. I didin´t let myself to trow it away, even though it was a painful remeinder of her, I would take all the ones I could get.

        I would live my life and do as I am told but one thing  will always remain the same and that is my love for Jeanelle, even though she loves another one now.

        This was quite a sad chapter. I hope you like it.

        I would really like to know what you are thinking of my story so don´t forget to vote and comment.

        I promise a new chapter as soon as I can :)
