The New Princess (Book 2)

Truth Comes Out (part 2)

(Audrey's pov)

I was hiding around the corner watching Ben and the others talking to Ken. Then Ken rolled up his window and drove away. Then they walked over. I stood against the wall so they wouldn't see me and waited for them to drive away. Hopefully whatever they said to Ken, he didn't believe them.

It was pretty silent on the way home.

Then I broke the silence. "Ben it's okay. We just need proof to show him."

"That is if we ever see him again." Ben responded sounding annoyed.

"You don't know that." Evie chimed in and I looked back at her.

(The next day)

I was waiting by me and Ken usual spot in the morning. I had my hands in my pocket and was looking around, then he pulled up. I smiled, then opened the door and got in.

"Morning." I greeted him and leaned over and kissed him.

"Hey." He replied not sounding too happy.

"Hey, you alright?" I checked.

He sighed, then began talking. "After I dropped you off this guy and two girls stopped me and came out to my window. They said they knew you and said I can't trust you. And you're not who I think you are."

"Ken." I said.

"Hold on." Ken replied. "I told them that I do know you. And I trust you. I also knew that was your ex boyfriend. So I guess the only thing I'm wondering is why did they say that about you?"

"Ken the truth is..." I started to say, then paused.

"What is it?" Ken asked eager to know.

"He's... He's crazy." I blurted out. "After he cheated on me I told him I was moving away he went crazy. He was stalking me and trying to find out where I was moving. So he told you those things because he doesn't want me to date anyone else, but him."

"Then why was his girlfriend helping him?" Ken questioned.

"Because she's just as crazy as him." I lied.

"But I don't get why they're dating if he's trying to get you back." Ken mentioned.

"I think they think if I see them together I'll be jealous and want him back." I said with a shrug. "Anyways can we just get to school?"

"Yeah." Ken nodded and put the car in drive.

(A couple hours later)

(Mal's pov)

"Ben will you please stop?" I begged.

"I don't know what we're gonna do." Ben spoke throwing his arms up in the air and continued pacing.

"You've been pacing back and forth like that all morning." I mentioned.

"Well I'm trying to come up with an idea." I added.

"I don't really get why we need to convince this guy. Like why can't we just turn Audrey in?" Evie asked.

Ben stopped pacing and turned to Evie. "Because the more people we have that believe us the more proof we have."

"Right..." Evie slowly nodded her head and leaned back in the chair.

"Hey Ben?" I said looking at Evie, then slowly looked away and looked at Ben.

"Yeah?" Ben asked sounding upset.

"I might have an idea." I stated and smirked.

"What is it?" Ben questioned.
