the royal selection

Part 28 mixed emotions

Lili's POV
I went back to my room, and wrote in my diary about this whole situation, because right it's the only thing I can talk to. After finishing writing everything I had to say, I decided to go to camis room to hang out before dinner. As I walked out of my room I saw him! Walking down the hall way! He'd just walked past my room, so he couldn't see me. I quickly stepped back inside waiting for him to pass, but he didn't.

He stopped at tatums door next to mine. Our rooms were pretty big so her door was about 15 ft away from mine. He knocked on her door. "Oh hey prince Cole" I heard her voice say. "Hey, are you free right now, I wanted to know if you could come down to the courtyard with me, until dinner" he asked.

My heart dropped. As I felt tears come to my eyes he really was mad at me! I mean he has probably done this before, but he hasn't even spoken to me today, let alone looked at me except for this morning. I went back in my room as a shed a few tears.

My throat hurt from trying to hold them in. But I still tried. And I did. I held them in the whole dinner. I ate a little more than I did earlier in the day but still not much. I felt as if I even talked I would break.

As dinner was finished I went back into my room, and went to the balcony. Just thinking. I also wondered why cole didn't want to talk to me. He didn't even reply to my letter! I went back inside and changed into my pajamas. I had gave my maids the day off, as I didn't want them to see me like this.

When I came back out into my room I saw him sitting on my bed. I gasped and stood beside the door frame so he couldn't see me. "you came." I said a little surprised. "yep" he said with no expression. I came into the door frame. Where he could see me and I could see him. He was looking at me.

I could see he was still mad. "Why are you mad" I asked bluntly. "I wasn't, until I took my time to be late to my meeting to check on you only for you to yell at me. Stop following me I don't  want to talk to you" he mimicked me, "does that sound familiar? so maybe I should be asking you, why are you mad?" He said raising his voice. My heart dropped as I felt tears leave my eyes. "T-that was y-you?" I said in disbelief.

But also quiet to where I didn't know if he could hear me. "Who the hell else would it be" he yelled in rage making me jump, because of the sudden noise but it was still quiet enough to where you couldn't hear us outside my room. I just stood there not knowing what to say.

He scoffed and nodded. "So who's the guy? Are you with a guard now? More specifically the kid you were staring at last night! You think I didn't notice you drooling at him. God lili you drive me crazy!" He yelled louder. As more tears fell down my eyes. "I drive you crazy?! What about tatum! Hey tatum want to come to the court yard with me before dinner?" I mimicked him, "yeah sure I drive you so crazy! How do you think i feel, seeing you make out with rachel! Hearing you ask out tatum! I get jealous Cole!" I yelled at him.

3rd POV
"Why! Why lili! Why are you always so jealous! You know I like you the most!" Cole argued. Lili sighed tears still falling, "because! Because I know how replaceable I am. Cole they're so many other girl here for you to choose them. They're all going for you. You don't have any competition Cole. I do. I have to compete against the other girls hoping it'll be me you choose. You say you like me the most but I bet you told tatum that too. You have no idea what jealousy is because you're the only man here. So don't. For one second. Make this about you!" lili yelled letting out a sob

Coles pov
She flipped out on me. I was in shock, but in even more rage! "Except that's what you came here to do! You came here to compete with the other girls for me, but you get mad when I even touch one of them! I run this competition! I pick who leaves and who stays! So yes I'm going to make this about me!" I yelled back. As tears started leaving my eyes. She looked taken back. Like she thought I would make this about her once again.

"You know what fine! Kick me out! It's that easy cole! If you hate me this much why don't I just leave! Make everyone's lives better" she yelled back sobbing. "No I'm not going to do that! Did telling you I love you mean nothing to you!" I said more upset than mad now. "I could ask you the same!" She yelled.

She then came and sat on her bed crying as I did in my hands. I got up and went to the bathroom to clean myself up, so no one knew I was crying. I came back out and saw her asleep. I just stared at her for a few minutes emotionless, then left back to my room.

I didn't understand! Why couldn't she just accept the fact that they're other girls in this competition besides her! That night was by far one of the worst I have ever experienced in my whole messed up life. Im the prince of ilea! Always expected to do the right thing, and do everything perfect!

And lili! I love her with my whole life! I think she is the one! But right now, it's a mess, I'm a mess. I am furious with her! I made out with tatum in the courtyard! Which I actually enjoyed!

Maybe I like tatum better... maybe tatum would be the better fit for me.......
